16. True...
but man... disposable ones sure are easy

of course I think disposables make potty training harder, the baby never feels wet... :P

21. Well, Then Depends Are a better deal
I mean you can go all day without ever having to worry about the bathroom, just go.

I think that all people should wear them, it would increase productivity and save water because people wouldn't be flushing toilets as much or going to the bathroom as much

:rofl:


:pals:



good night on that note fool!

:hug:

2. I watched something on TV last year.
There's a whole group of moms that don't diaper at all. They spend all day chasing the kids and putting them on the potty or something like that. So there you go. It's a whole new world.

that need to get a life.

IMHO.

11. Sadly, I think this is their life.
Having and raising babys is no longer a part of life but the point of life. Most of them will probably breastfeed till the child starts junior high.

12. And they're going to be devastated when the kids
come home from ballet one day with a green mohawk and their lip pierced. When their darling little angel tells them to take a flying leap (in so many words).

And then, when the kids are grown and gone...what are these women going to do?

That's what scares me.

For a fee, of course...

22. Are you kidding me? They'll lunch.
Then start grass roots movements to ensure that every child in America is breastfed and raised by a stay at home mom. Anything else will be grounds for removing the child and placing it in a "real" home.

23. I can see it now....
a whole army of ex-soccer-moms, dressed in cashmere and capris, putting together a movement to ensure that kids are breast-fed until they marry.

Over cocktails and salads.

28. Exactly.
The baseball and softball moms will be doing what they've always done. Bottle feed, work their asses off at part time jobs and start riots when their kid is called out at third base. Nobody can fling a cooler like a tired, pissed off baseball mom.}(

7. Disposable
I did both - the cloth with the safety pins and all that

Disposable, and it's only for a year. Bury them if necessary.

They won't burn a hole in the Ozone layer.

No more than all the hair spray women use, or the SUV's

8. I did both...the whole diaper pail thing was a pain in the ass, though.
I couldn't keep it up. I potty trained them all ASAP, though. And did it with regular training pants instead of Pull-Ups.

Well...mostly, anyway.

26. Depends...
No, not adult diapers.

The kidlet wore cloth at home and disposables mostly when away. I prefer cloth because as the kids get older they know how uncomfortable it is to be wet (thus getting them into cloth underwear) and disposables then didn't have that feature. I understand the pullups are now using a discomfort feature so the kids can feel wet.

29. Both.
Cloth at home, disposables when out and about. Worked for me.

Of course, I didn't have a "travel system" so I must be an inferior mom. :D
