Just ONE of the disgusting things parents will do

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Photography

It’s Monday. I’m feeling slightly off-kilter, and I just uploaded a photo that is (still) totally grossing me out.

My point: when you’re sick of changing diapers, wiping bums and crusty faces, changing sopping wet bedsheets, using those nose aspirators things to suck the snot out of your baby’s nose etc etc … just remember, you’re not the only creature in the animal kingdom who is going to great lengths to keep your babies clean and poop-free.

Some parents are doing even MORE THAN YOU ARE. Don’t believe me? Check it out. (You may have to mouse over the photo to see the notes.)

And mommy cats need to lick their kittens’ parts to help them go pee! Thank heaven for small human mercies like that!

Ok I’m glad I looked at that after I ate. Not appealing but We all do what we have to do.
LOL

I Know! I noticed the same thing about the robin family in our back yard. I didn’t post about it as I have trouble just thinking about it. I guess it does make for a nice clean nest.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
