You can only be effectively "responsible" if you've been prepped. You should not (CAN NOT) expect a teenager to be responsible for the duties of an adult unless he/she has been taught. Why do you think teenage pregnancies are fraught with worry by adults?
Was the 18 year old voluntarily babysitting the baby? If so, she should have expected that diaper changing was part of the responsibility. If she had not agreed to babysit, then the parents should not gave left the baby in her care.
One would think that an 18 year old would be able to keep a baby for a few hours, diaper changing included. Also, as a family member living in the same house, she should be willing to help. That said, the parents have a responsibility to make sure she agrees to take care of the baby, diaper duties included, before leaving the baby with her. It's possible for many to be at fault in this story.You do have a point and like I said before she should have been prepped.
The way I see it she's eighteen. Unless she has a good legit reason why she can't be out on her own (like disabilities and or financial struggles like me) then she chose to live there so she automatically has to respect the responsibilities of helping out the family.

Hold it right there. Do you realize how ridiculous your logic is? You speak as though you know all of the details. But you don't...... the father was ..... in a business meeting .....the .....18 year old, going out with her friends was more important than helping out your family
My grandmother was from the old country. She could cook! One would think that my mother (the oldest of three children) could also cook but she couldn't warm a can of corn without burning it. Why? I didn't know why and I never found out why.One would think that an 18 year old would be able to keep a baby for a few hours, diaper changing included.

What is a mfh meeting? Is that a web meeting?
I do agree that the niece should have changed the diaper; however, assuming that the dad was home but in a web meeting, he could have excused himself for five minutes to take care of the diaper emergency. If it wasn't a web meeting, then why did the parents leave the baby with an unwilling babysitter?
Thank you!....... I do agree that the niece should have changed the diaper; however, assuming that the dad was home but in a web meeting, he could have excused himself for five minutes to take care of the diaper emergency. ......
I'll remember you said that so the next time you come to visit I'll expect you to change the spark plugs on my Masseratti while I go out to the 7/11 to get a loaf of bread.Hard to comment when you're only getting 1 side of things. The daughter is an adult and the uncle is helping her and the mom with a place to stay, so IMO she should have sucked it up and changed the diaper.

She was the only one around to do it. She lives in the house and should have some responsibility.
An 18 year old should be responsible enough to change a diaper. To force a baby to sit in a soiled diaper because you consider it “yucky” is irresponsible
So, I've fixed you up with the most gorgeous women in the state, invited both of you to dinner with the very best wine money can buy, put you up in the guest room for the whole week-end (with benefits if you play your cards right with her), and offered to make you an equal partner in my insanely lucrative business ..... but you refuse to change the spark plugs in my Maseratti that you've borrowed from me for the past 3 months?Visiting and moving in are two entirely different things.
You'd be an idiot to let just anyone tinker with the engine of your MaseratiSo, I've fixed you up with the most gorgeous women in the state, invited both of you to dinner with the very best wine money can buy, put you up in the guest room for the whole week-end (with benefits if you play your cards right with her), and offered to make you an equal partner in my insanely lucrative business ..... but you refuse to change the spark plugs in my Maseratti that you've borrowed from me for the past 3 months?
What would he have done if his brother and his kid were not living there? And why didn't he just do that?

Put the phone on 'speaker' and talk while changing the diaper. In the old days, you'd clamp the phone between your shoulder and chin. OR...say:.'I'll call you back in a bit.'What would he have done if his brother and his kid were not living there? And why didn't he just do that?
I just assumed. Maybe because of your avatar?I am a woman lol
Being a guest or a live-in has little to do with it, particularly in the US where "how are you?" is expected to be reciprocated by a "how are you?" and "Nice car you have there!" is echoed by "Yours is really nice too!" In his case, it's all about doing favours. They are filed and conscientiously put at the very top of the list of liabilities.but staying for the weekend is still considered being a guest in my book.
