hrrmm, prolly about 2-300 for 2 kids. (i'm not counting my dd's stuff 18 years ago! one rikki, an aristocrat- yes, from the back pages of mothering- & a diaper service.) lots of used, lots of pfs, a couple of wahm things on ebay that weren't worth the ten bucks i spent (didn't hold up), a couple things that were cute but didn't live up to the hype that had me standing in line, a LOT on fbs through all the changes in size and materials (my workhorses.)
it's things like the phrase 'diaper art'. it's cute, it's crafty, it's fluffy, but i don't put 'art' on my kids' bums. i think the non-hyena people are just astounded at the consumerism...
i haven't hung out a lot lately (i can't afford the hyena mentality; i have enough 'stash' and don't need more), but i saw people acting like drug addicts and it did get freaky. complaining about hiding the amount they spend from their spouses and stuff. when the dysfunctionalism got rampant is when i really stopped hangin'. (now don't get pissy; if you don't spend more than you can afford i haven't mentioned you, & if you do my comment stands & you know it. that IS dysfunctional!)
i think rainbow makes a point; one person was singled out as the person who will talk to her about plain, cheap dipes. i just wish the level of support for people who wish to cd but are not interested in it as a hobby (and yes, getting 'fluffy mail' was a fun pick-me-up, it's not like i don't understand the feelings involved) was higher. 4 years ago the place had a different feel, is all. the 'mothering message boards' of green use & environmental concerns is now the 'mdc' of $90 fuzbombs whose advertising pays for the website costs. (not meaning to particularly single out the fuz people, i do long for the tartan, lol.) yeah, i think it is a bit of a sellout. i do think it is weird when non-APing people come here just for the diaper forum cause it 'moves'.
i'm glad you want to cd your next, pie. (:P you will prolly be the worst hyena of all, lol. just don't get involved with these ladies, they're a bad influence <g>. think unbleached chinese prefolds and white fuzzibunz, it's all you need. don't EVEN go to the sites they link. you don't want to see them, you mustn't look!)
