I got a call from my SIL, I watch her youngest son 3 days a week (for free) for 4 hours, he is a good kid, no trouble, the only thing I hate is the diapers, she uses cheapo DD's and they STINK to high heaven. When he is dropped off in the AM (by my BIL who is beyond idiot-lazy-jerk) and is usually in a full to almost over flowing diaper, he is barely dressed (sometimes not, hardly ever a coat, and it is like 50 here) no shoes, no socks (he is almost 2 and walks well) and hasn't had breakfast (it is 10:30 am when he brings him) anyway so I change his diaper as soon as I get him (because it is SO gross). Well she called to tell me to PLEASE not change him so often anymore, I have been using all the diapers in the diaper bag while he is here (3-4 usually he is here 4 hours) well he poops at least once, but she tells me to please not change him unless he poops.
Okay as I am holding back the
uke and getting
I tell her, well I just can't do that, I will change him as soon as he wets, and frankly if she doesn't like it well she can pay a day care to take marginal (not changing him when he wets) care of him. Since she doesn't pay me, I feed him two meals and a snack, and I never say no to babysitting (even if I have plans, I take him and my two that aren't in school with me). So she wasn't about to pay daycare $3 an hour to watch him. So she starts in about how expensive diapers are and how they just CAN'T waste them and how they need to conserve every one they can, and I am hearing
. So I tell her- "You know I use cloth diapers and I could just put him in cloth while he is here, that way I won't be using ANY of your diapers" I about fell out of the chair when she said "That would be GREAT!" then adds "I won't have to wash them will I?" LOL she was freaked out before because I send all the dirty diapers home with her, I am not having those nasty things in my house, so this is good for her, the only one going home will be the one he comes in. LOL
So YAY! I am happy about this! I was thinking I might even buy some diapers JUST for him, although he will fit fine in Joe's stash, in that they are about the same size (even though a year apart).
And about the post that asked what you tell friends that change sposies at your house, you get out a ziplock and say "here is this so it doesn't stink up your diaperbag on the way home!" with a BIG smile!
