Changing nappy

I look after youngest granddaughter (2 and a bit) one day each week. Last time I ran out of nappies and she pooed half an hour before her father was due to pick her up. He was late so she had been in a dirty nappy for an hour. Both parents were furious with me. I should have taken it off and left her nude but I didn't think of that. I can't believe it's never happened to them that they could not change a nappy straight away. Of course I'd have changed it if I could.
Is this really the outrage her parents accuse me of?

So could I ask what you would expect to happen if the toddler soiled their nappy in the night, would you be constantly checking them all night just in case? Because I just think this toddler was in their nappy for an hour and it wasn't a mortal sin this gran committed, but by accident ran out of nappies.

Why on earth do parents delay potty training these days? If they had to boil terry nappies as we did they'd soon get their act together.

Glad you said that Positive pam, I was wondering what all " change them immediately" people did when they poo in the night. My DD woke every morning with a dirty nappy, not my favourite way to greet the day smile

The nights weren't a problem for me as I didn't have a full nights sleep 'till my DD was over 3yrs old.
It's a different matter when you know there is a dirty nappy and one where you are asleep.
