Mum rages at mother-in-law for 'invading baby's privacy' by changing dirty nappy

A mum claims her mother-in-law 'invaded her baby's privacy' by changing his dirty nappy. She believes only parents should change their child's nappies - and says her mother-in-law is being "overbearing" by trying to help in this way.

However, her perspective on parenting has been slammed online, as users urged her to take a 'long and hard look at herself'. Taking to Mumsnet, the mum-of-one said: "I'm very keen on consent and protecting my baby's privacy and prefer that only myself and my partner are the ones to change our son's nappy.

"Obviously, I understand if we're not available due to nursery eventually or if someone else is babysitting, then I'm happy for someone else to do it. However, this has not yet been the case." She went on to explain how her mother-in-law changed her son's soiled nappy in front of her - not allowing her the opportunity to do it herself.
