I'm so frustrated with cloth diapering today. DS has had a bad rash for the past few days and today the sitter used non-CD friendly (Penaten) diaper cream with a BG dipe WITHOUT the disposible liners I also provided. 
I could've cried when I discovered that two of my month-old $25 diapers may be ruined... How do I get the cream off my diapers without going at it with Dawn and a toothbrush?? (Wouldn't you know it these particular two diapers are also ones he pooped in - and he only poops a couple times a day.)
Besides the obvious issue with that, I'm also just generally frustated with how little those around me (particularly the sitter) are resistant to cloth. To me, you need to be a little bit more on the ball with changes, but it's really not that difficult. I've tried to be fairly flexible about disposibles vs. cloth but disposibles just seem to be winning every time I turn around... Behind on laundry? Grab a 'sposie. Sitter going out and about? Grab a sposie. Outfit almost outgrown? Use a 'sposie so it fits. DH simply feeling lazy? Grab a sposie (even though there's a pile of prefolds sitting right there!
)
ARGH! I swear, once this pack of disposibles are done I will absolutely refuse to buy any more. I hate what's in them, I hate throwing them out, I hate how they don't breathe, I hate how they feel, I hate paying for them. Why do I even have them??! Oh yeah, they're convenient and other people like them.
