RondinLiw on Reddit shared a post on the "AITA" subreddit seeking advice concerning a recent family conflict. He has been married to his wife for five years, and they have two children together.

RondinLiw's sister-in-law, Rachel, has a baby who is a few weeks younger than his youngest child. Recently, Rachel asked RondinLiw's wife to babysit for a few hours, which she agreed to but told Rachel that she had to take their father to an appointment later that day.

When it was time for RondinLiw's wife to leave for her appointment, Rachel texted and said that her work meeting would take more time and asked if RondinLiw could watch the baby while his wife went to her appointment, and he agreed. When it was time to change the baby's diaper, RondinLiw realized that the baby didn't have any diapers left in his bag, so he used one of his son's diapers instead.

However, after Rachel picked up her baby, RondinLiw started receiving text messages about how the baby now has a rash, supposedly caused by the diaper. RondinLiw tried to explain that he used the diaper because the baby's diaper had finished, but Rachel argued that he should have texted her before using a random diaper.

Rachel also complained to RondinLiw's wife about the incident, but the duo ended up fighting and with Rachel calling them "careless parents." RondinLiw feels terrible about what happened as he didn't mean to give the baby a rash.

He had no idea there were special diapers for babies with sensitive skin, as his children did not have this issue. RondinLiw is seeking advice on whether he was in the wrong for using his son's diaper or if Rachel is overreacting.

Here's how the AITA community responded to his post.

What do you think?

Parents should inform anyone watching their child about their health issues because it helps to prevent any unexpected problems.

Knowing about a baby's sensitivities can help caregivers provide proper care, especially if the baby has allergies or medical conditions.

This information can also help avoid potential mistakes, guaranteeing the baby remains healthy and safe while in someone else's care.
