I want to turn in my Eco-Awareness badge

but the kid won’t let me. It’s time, I’m done, I know it’s better for the environment if I keep the system we have but after five solid years I want you, Dear Reader, to know that I am

SICK OF WASHING CLOTH DIAPERS

I’ve done my part for not stuffing the dump full of disposable diapers. Hell, I’ve done for myself and some other folks too.

He is usually dry in the morning…..unless he wears a pullup. He won’t wear his “big boy underwear” with a diaper stuffed in it for security. “Silly Mommy, diapers don’t go in underwears!” No, he has to have a big prefold, a little prefold, and a proraps cover over it all. In other words, the BIG DIAPERBUTT!

I’ve gone through and packed up all the lovely fitteds and AIOs since he’s mostly daytrained. And after 5 years (and 2 kids) the prefolds are looking significantly worse for the wear. If he doesn’t dry it up at night, I may have to actually buy more prefolds RIGHT when I should be selling the rest of the stash. Yes, they’re really that bad. No, worse.

I do NOT want to spend more money on cloth right now.
