Mitchell Moses has copped a raft of backlash after admitting he’s only changed his 11-month-old daughter’s nappy once. The Parramatta Eels haflback welcomed daughter Aspyn with fiancee Bri in September last year, however he didn’t attend the birth because the Eels were playing final in the preliminary in North Queensland.
Moses missed Aspyn’s birth as he helped steer the Eels into the grand final, where they lost to the Panthers one week later. Discussing life as a father on Triple M radio last weekend, Moses made the eye-opening confession that he hasn’t exactly been pulling his weight when it comes to nappy duty.Appearing on the ‘Saturday Scrum’ program, Moses was asked by Ryan Girdler: “You’re at least changing nappies?” Moses replied: “No, I haven’t Girds. I can’t do it.
“I did one when she was born, because the nurse pretty much came in and made me do it so I felt like I had to, but that was the only time. Like I said, my missus is over everything, she’s very good. I’m very lucky to have her.”Girdler responded: “Mate, of course you can (change nappies). Come on, roll the sleeves up brother, you’re missing out.”
Tony Squires commented about Moses’ praise for his wife, saying: “The more you say that, the less impressive it sounds.” Moses reiterated: “I’m very lucky to have her.”
Needless to say, Moses’ confession has been completely savaged on social media, with fans calling on the NSW State of Origin player to pull his finger out and do his bit. Moses will have a lot more time to help out around the house after suffering a season-ending cheekbone fracture against the Broncos.
