I have come to terms with the reality that my favorite character (Jaime) is going to die... That didn't stop me for begging for his life when I had George Martin sign my copy of Dance with Dragons. I was 8 months pregnant at the time and had waited on line for 4 hours.

someone warn her: I hear the bride is nuts.

Laundry in my building was $1.75/wash and $1.25/dry. On the sites I was reading about cloth diapering, it said you have to run poopy ones through twice. Even if i could get away with every other day (which I couldn't: as stated, my son was a poop and pee factory), that was still a little bit more than the cost of 2…

Other benefit of cloth? SO FLIPPING CUTE! Those fluffy little butts with adorable patterns? Melt!

Oh I hadn't considered that.

thank you for chiming in with your experience! And mazel tov on the money saved! Yeah, cloth is DEFINITELY a cheaper option in many cases, and a better option for lots of people. But in many instances there are other factors to consider!

So am I... because my washer and dryer are in my home. I was also able to do this when my washer and dryer were in my building. When I had to go to a laundromat? In that neighborhood it was not advisable to leave your items unattended.

HA! Love it!

Creating those three hours between or after two shifts at two different jobs , for example, and summoning the extra, say $56 a month to spend at the laundromat, however? That's pretty hard.

Oh. My son (almost three) has been clothed PERHAPS 1/3 of the time this summer when he is home. Homeboy loves being naked.

ONLY salient point? You yourself said that you bought a whole bunch at once that you only have to wash them every other day. I'm thinking a low-income mom may run into a problem with that.

honestly? I stay at home now and my husband did with our first for 2 years. I have some spare time during the day when my kids are napping and some days I still can't always get everything done! Adding a shitton of diapers in there? NOPE!

It does! But I promise if you can't afford diapers you can't afford a diaper service ;-)

$3.50 for me when I lived in NY... and that's assuming I only have to do ONE was cycle.

'Tis true. (Though, I do know a bunch of people who cloth diapered part-time: at home and on weekends.)

My pleasure. We were living in a NYC apartment building when our first was born and we briefly thought about doing cloth... but then calculated how much it would cost to go with cloth (not counting the time it took to do the laundry). It was considerably more expensive than disposable. I wish we could have afforded a…

Awesome. Diapers can go SO fast. My daughter is much more reasonable in her decisions about when to pee and poop. My son, on the other hand, went through about 10 diapers a day when he was an itty bitty. That adds up! Even buying them in bulk it gets expensive!

Depends. Does he have dinosaur friends? Being a lizard person, I'd imagine he might, and then maybe he could introduce us, and then I would have dinosaur friends, which is obviously my childhood dream.

15 years ago, my best friend did this, royal court style:

Oh how marvelous...
