Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am also lazy
I am lazier, as I use a service for the cloths. Other than washing the covers, it's pretty foolproof. Since we use both cloth and disposable, I feel like I have a good handle on the pros and cons of both.

Trust my rage
I have nothing to say about cloth diapers, really, except that I love them. After breastfeeding, I think they are the best decision I've made so far. I wash them myself. The mess, which is minimal at this stage, doesn't bother me. I suppose it will get messier over time, but like Plei, I'm in no rush to introduce solid foods, and cloth diapers are supposed to help in faster potty training.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
A friend of mine is having a baby in a month or so, shower on Sunday, and a mutual friend just emailed a bunch of us with her shower gift: set-up and one month's delivery for a local diaper service, with the service's phone number and the family name and account number in the email, so anyone who wants to can kick in. So frelling brilliant!

Is this because the tots are sitting in wee rather than having it absorbed into a regular diaper? Just curious.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sigh.
We took Em to school today. She was ok most of the day but got cranky toward the end of the day and she was coughing and she had gobs of green out her nose.
Sigh.

Sort of, disposable diapers today pull all the wetness away from the skin so they don't feel the wet and miss the pee = potty cue that they would probably get from cloth. That's why the Pull ups today stay damp. Of course, if you have a kid who couldn't care less, then wet or dry doesn't matter (yes, my son was almost 3 when he finally started using the potty because he couldn't be arsed to care)
Edit: Oh Aimee, poor Em (poor you guys)

Sorry about Em, Aims. I hope she feels better very soon.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My nephew was like that, Dawn. I think he was 3 1/2 before he began caring about wet or poopy diapers.

What is even happening?
What Dawn said. I think Pull-Ups are better served for sleeping time, and maybe the first couple of days of potty training. After that, I used underwear. Generally kids are more reluctant to soil their underwear than Pull-Ups.
