This reminds me of when we were at a baby shower for one of my friends...I don't remember which one, but all my friends over here are from different countries and we met in the language school, learning Dutch. Baby showers are not done in the Netherlands, but all of us were from countries where there was something like it at least, so we always did them for each other, but sometimes the hubbies had to be there because none of us had drivers licenses. So at this one, my hubby was there, too, and my friends wanted to get the men involved. So they had a game where the dads had to compete at putting an old fashioned cloth diaper on a doll...most of us girls didn't even know how to use a cloth diaper. But it was so funny because it was a big race, and all the men were trying to be as fast as possible and then there's my husband counting fingers and tickling toes, blowing raspberries on the doll's tummy, anything but concerned about how fast he was getting the diaper on. But that's exactly how he was with diaper changes...both of us were more the kind to take our time and talk to them while we did diapers or got them dressed. I read my daughter Harry Potter while I was breast feeding her as a newborn. Bonding time!

Harry Potter is on my TV now I'm going to watch all the movies and read the books at least once more before vacation

I have some catching up to do. My boys are big time fans and seem to know all the little details so I don't want to seem like too much of a muggle

I think I have watched the last two movies at over 5 times each.

Thank you for sharing the cute bunny but I am so so sorry it's snowing.

Just the opposite with me. When I'm driving I know at all times what is going on. I don't trust other drivers so that combined with my old job of evaluating bus drivers, keeps me on edge all the time. I trust no one but myself.

Don't tell me that ignorance is bliss, and hubby and I can't see. Guess, we'll have to take our chances!

 

[betty rose]

My time wasn't that much different... Oldest is 42 and I can assure you I changed a truckload of diapers. That's were my halo started to form.

You deserve a halo for that duty. Maybe, I should explain, I had an older mother in her 40's and hubby did too. Maybe we had experiences growing up as though we are in our 80's.

It certainly ruined the environment in our house.

 

[betty rose]

After you rinsed them out in the toilet did you wash them in the washing machine right away? If not where did they sit?

In a pail with the lid on. When the lid came off, It would knock you down. Had to keep opening the window in the bathroom to air it out!

 

[Wrangler-Rick]

In a diaper pail (covered) but when you opened it up it brought tears to your eyes. Environmentally it would have been counter productive to not wash in batches instead of individually.

Yeah, but that was before they banned chemical weapons!

 

[betty rose]

Isn't it amazing how we can go from poop filled diapers to chicken wings in one post?

I was thinking the same thing. This thread certainly goes into all kinds of things. I like it. Keeps life interesting.

 

[betty rose]

Know the feeling.. so sympathy like!

Thanks, are you doing better? I have today and tomorrow on the antibiotics. Then I'm on my own.

different conversations. I still have no idea where the poop came from D:

I heard a rumor that it is shipped from Uranus!

 

[betty rose]

We Never did cloth diapers.
I've mentioned this here before, but, some friends of ours that were starting a family just before us talked about it and did some research.
According to them, the extra water usage and detergent you put out there in having to wash all those dirty diapers made it kinda' an environmental wash, so to speak.

But, boy howdy, do I ever remember the reeking diaper pail from when I was a kiddo...
My mom used cloth diapers with me and my 2 younger brothers, but, when my 12-year-younger sis came a long, she switched to disposable.

And yes, I definitely changed my share of poopy, or otherwise, diapers.
With the way our schedule was back then, quite possibly even more than DWifey...!

We couldn't afford them, water and electricity was free in our apartment. So cloth it was.

 

[Mr Ferret 75]

I heard a rumor that it is shipped from Uranus!

Is that still a planet ?
