When you become a parent, you quickly find yourself face-to-face with your child’s messy moments. And let’s be honest, you soon realize that this is just part of the gig. In a recent chat on a radio show, pop sensation Jake Harmon shared his hilarious take on the joys of fatherhood and the inevitable encounters with baby poop.
“I used to handle my dog’s business with the utmost caution, treating it like some sort of scientific experiment,” Jake laughed. “But when you become a parent, it’s a whole different ballgame. You have to dive right in!”
While comparing dog poop to baby poop might feel a bit off, he’s got a point. Parenting means getting your hands dirty, literally. Jake joins the ranks of engaged celebrity dads everywhere who aren’t afraid to tackle the less glamorous sides of being a parent.
Every baby is unique, but one thing’s for sure—they all poop. A lot. And you quickly become desensitized to it. Sure, I’m not a fan of any of the messes—be it poop, vomit, or blood—but once you become a mom or dad, those squeamish feelings just fade away. It’s not that it stops being gross; it just becomes a part of your daily routine.
“Nothing beats your kid’s bottom cleanliness,” Jake exclaimed. “So, you just have to jump right in!”
Just this morning, I tackled my four-month-old’s Diaper Genie, and let me tell you, the smell nearly knocked me out. As I lugged that bag of stink to the trash, I sent a silent prayer to the universe that it didn’t rip apart. And what did I find when I got back inside? A fresh diaper change was already on the agenda—apparently, last night’s dinner of chili didn’t sit too well!
It’s refreshing to see a public figure embracing the unglamorous side of parenting, especially as a new dad. And on Mother’s Day, it’s especially important for dads to step up and handle those diaper changes while mom enjoys her well-deserved mimosas.
So, keep that positive mindset, Jake! Just remember, when it comes time for a diaper change today, it’s all on you!
