What do you think? I can't think of anything else to say other than it's too stupid for words. I know parenting fads come and go, but I hope this one "goes" sooner rather than later.

Every time I think people can't get any nuttier in their quest to be hip parents someone proves me wrong. Sheesh.

Yes. It's new.
Babies didn't go diaperless thousands of years ago

I thought I'd seen it all....I guess popper scoopers aren't only for dogs anymore.
Acting third world county is hip now ?

From the link:

"...how to get a baby to urinate on the street between parked cars."

and

“I don’t think you can walk down Fifth Avenue and just let your baby poop on the sidewalk,”

Give it time lady, give it time because someone will come along and say it's their right.

The parents will end that fad quick. Won't take much.

Oh boy, not only can people use those plastic grocery sacks to pick up dog poo, they can now scoop baby poo too.

One "gastric explosion" while at a restaurant is all it will take.

Anyone with kids has been there...

"you change the diaper"
"No, I did it last time..you go do it"

And sometimes even the diaper can't contain it !!

that is how the rest of the world does it. People let their kids poop anywhere it happens...welcome to the affluent third world nation.

And you thought breast feeding in public was odd. Or...you thought the lady with the 7 cats house reeked.

Well I don't think Supernanny is gonna like this. I remember one show the little kid used to run out and whiz in the neighbors bushes and on the sidewalk. She wasn't too happy about that.
