[Free Thinker]

This weekend we went to stay w/ DH's cousins, who are expecting in April. I brought along some Bumkin AIOs, wonderoos, HH, and some FB. When it was time to change DD, I mentioned that we use CDs. The husband says "we are too, it's better for the baby, and it's cheaper. My Grandpa drives the local diaper delivery service truck!" <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/jaw.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="dropjaw"> (I was in disbelief) "all of my aunts, ect. have loved using cloth."<br><br>
I showed them DDs stash, and he said "don't you have any regular flat diapers, that you have to fold and pin?" I explained the snappi, and promised to bring my CPFs to Thanksgiving to let them see it all first hand. Of course, they thought my beautiful pocket dipes were adorable, and so easy to use! Just wait till I give them some links to adorable covers!!! (any suggestions?)<br><br>
I am in SHOCK!!! Someone else actually wants to do cloth diapers!!! I know DH's mom thinks it's a bit odd, his grandparents do too. I guess if the other cousins do it, they will probably think it's the new "in" thing for new parents to do :LOL

that's great! my SIL has severe fragrance and chemical sensitivities so i (of course) think she should use cloth, but i don't know if she's willing. i wish i wasn't the only person she knew who uses cloth diapers, because sometimes i get the feeling she thinks i'm a bit odd. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngbiggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="orange big grin">

My family thought it was normal b/c they cd me when I was a babe. My dad said he saw a diaper truck that said "Do you want to wear paper underwear?" and he was sold that that sounds really uncomfortable and it was all cloth.
