This Is the Poopy Diaper That Never Ends

I’ll admit it: I use disposable diapers. When I had my son, it was such a shock to my system that I couldn’t take on one more thing to add to my daily schedule such as figuring out how to contain the poo without simply chucking it in the dumpster (plus, the laundry facilities were *all* *the* *way* across the parking lot – oh, the walk of shame).
Now, I’ve read a lot about moms who use cloth diapers; heck: they *make* cloth diapers. And let me tell you, seeing pictures made me want to produce another child immediately so that I could swaddle their teeny tiny butt in the scrumtious looking fabrics (so CUTE!). Yes, I could probably try to start cloth diapering with my toddler-esque son, but for some reason, I just feel like it’d be best for a bum to stay with one sort of poop-containment medium.
Shortly after I had my son, I read a news article regarding mothers who don’t diaper their children, because “who would want their child marinating in their own feces?” A parent who has things to do and doesn’t want to carry around a pee bucket wherever they go – that’s who.
But because we never have enough options in this great land of ours, here’s yet another to add to the “how many different choices can you make in parenting that someone will tell you is wrong and will destroy the earth so that the child you are trying to take care of will be living in the apocolyptic land of Mad Max someday soon.”
May potty training begin . . . and SOON.
Maybe a litterbox for munchkins? Works great for cats.
Ha, just kidding, I think. Well, as you know, can’t relate to the mother stuff at all –you are amazing to me, you know that, right?
Dig the WordPress look. Good job, guys!
Yeah, and then you’ll have poop on the carpet, the carseat, you, etc. – anywhere except a nice, neat, usually contained diaper. You’ll no longer be able to just drive in peace from one place to another, you’ll have to stop in the middle of the night so that the child who just yesterday wouldn’t have noticed if he was wet or not can pee in a potty, but not any old potty, only the one that is still at home, which in the end equals wet pants, again. Um, am I a little tired of the whole potty training routine? Oh yes. Four – I thought this would be over by the time he was four!
The plus about having boys is that they can pee in a lot more places with a lot less fuss and mess.:) The minus is that they often take longer to master the potty. Arrgh.
