This week on Fluff Talk Thursdays, Beth at Happily Domestic wants it to be all about the Dads! A dad can write the post (like mine did) or the mama can write a funny story (or 2) about her husband and cloth diapers.
This should be a really funny one and I am so excited to read what others post! It is going on for 2 weeks, so head on over and check it out!
My wife likes cloth diapering, therefore I like cloth diapering, the same goes for chocolate. Now you would think that I like 'Sleepless in Seattle' by this pattern of thinking, you would be wrong. I like Die Hard and Braveheart. However, I do like cloth diapering partly because my wife likes cloth diapering and partly because it is the best way to diaper.
Not only is cloth diapering wonderfully environmentally friendly, it is easy to do (as long as the wife does the prefolds and I get to use the fitteds - j/k) and it is cost effective. Although I did like to teasingly give my wife a hard time about being addicted to purchasing $30 diapers, I did understand that it will be used over and over and over. That just makes good sense. In fact, if a regular disposable costs $0.25, then a $30 diaper only has to be used 120 times before it has paid for itself and as a bonus has not done anything to hurt the environment. There is certainly a double win there. Already, with just two of the dozen or so children we plan on having most of the $30 diapers have made their money back, just think of having them on 3 or even 10 more children. That's almost like winning the lottery every day. Sometimes there really is even a prize.
There is also a fantastic community around cloth diapers. I know that if there ever comes a time that information is needed on some diaper fact, there are people ready and willing to answer whatever question might arise. If a person needs to buy or sell a diaper(s), there are fantastic people out there that are looking to trade. To date there has not been a single bad experience with exchanging diapers for diapers or diapers for money. Everyone in this community is respectful and looks out for one another which makes cloth diapering truly fantastic on those merits alone.
Blowouts. I have yet to have to change my kids clothes because the cloth diaper failed to hold it all in. I loathed having to change my kids' outfit after they had been wearing a disposable and had an up the back disaster. Bless you cloth diapers, bless you.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
That is hilarious! You poor woman...are you really gonna give the Duggers a run for their money??? You better start buying more diapers! lol. He sounds like my husband. After we had his vasectomy reversed to have more babies, I created a MONSTER! He jokes he wants 12 boys. Zowie!
Love the picture too, so fun! Thanks for participating once again. YOU DA'BEST! :-)
A dozen or so? Wow!
This was a fun post - I am going to have to get my husband to write something. I'm sure he will be as humorous as yours, haha.
As for your comment on my post - I am using a free trial of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.4 at the moment, but I also use a free program called Gimp. For really quick fixes, I use a free program called Picasa 3. They aren't too hard to figure out, most of the time!
LOL
So cute! Your husband has such a good sense of humor.
My favorite part is the very first, "My wife likes cloth diapering, therefore I like cloth diapering, the same goes for chocolate. Now you would think that I like 'Sleepless in Seattle' by this pattern of thinking, you would be wrong. I like Die Hard and Braveheart."
hahaha!!!
Like previous poster, my favorite part was, "My wife likes cloth diapering, therefore I like cloth diapering, the same goes for chocolate." It sounded like something my own husband would say.
BTW, I left you an award on my blog! = )
Ha - Josh - I completely agree on the blowouts!
He likes this then huh?
Ok now I want to learn even more about this cloth diapering. I hope it isnt as it was when I was a toddler and in my country. Info please?
