A mother fromSan Francisco, Christine Yun, has ignited a heated debate across social media platforms after openly detailing her controversial method for disposing of her child's soiled nappies. Rather than utilizing scented bags or immediate proper disposal, Yun proudly confessed to throwing dirty diapers directly from her balcony into her garden.

The US-based mum explained her reasoning, stating that her primary motivation was to prevent her home from developing an unpleasant odour. In a now-viral TikTok video, which garnered over four million views, Yun, who posts under the username @trendenvy,was seen approaching her balcony door with an old nappy. After her young son opened the door, she simply tossed the nappy outside, letting it land in the garden below.

In her caption, Yun clarified her unusual process: "POV: you refuse to have your home smell like poo, so this is how you dispose dirty diapers." She further elaborated that she would accumulate several such nappies in her garden before eventually collecting them and discarding them properly into an outdoor trash bin when she was outside.

However, this "disgusting trick" was met with widespread condemnation rather than commendation from horrified social media users. Hundreds of "gobsmacked" individuals flooded the comment section, expressing their dismay and even pity for her neighbours. One user sarcastically remarked, "The neighbours must love you," while another wondered, "why not..just go downstairs..and put them in the outside bin.."

Concerns extended beyond mere inconvenience. A third person issued a stark warning, sharing their own unpleasant experience: "Not judging or trying to be mean, but did this with my dogs 'stuff' and this being constantly throwing out and being wet was perfect conditions for maggots. Just be really careful, don't want anyone to go through the grossness I had to deal with. again sorry and really meaning no judgement."

Furthermore, some critics took issue with Yun's parenting approach. One commenter questioned the long-term implications of her actions, asking, "So then, when your kids start throwing random s*** around, including their own, quite literally, who’s going to be to blame? 'My kids are just so wild and unruly.' ma’am you’re literally throwing their own s*** out out of your balcony." The plea for her to "please be a responsible, civilised adult" encapsulated the general sentiment of disapproval directed at her unconventional and unsanitary disposal method.
