    I don't know anyone IRL that cloth diapers.

    @MsMamaBear: haha yeah me too! I really love it. And actually my husband does too! When we travel we use disposables and he always gets a disgusted look on his face lol when we get home the first thing he does is put cloth back on DS. It's sooo funny. He is so cute about it. I don't know any other guy that would get so excited about diapering.

    @Rubies: yep! I've had that reaction, too.. I live in the city, we send out our laundry and I work full time. I'm sorry, I'm not going to sit around with a steaming pile of poop diapers for a week, nor am I going to wash it out in the sink or tub. When I've had to do that with blowouts on DS's clothes, it's absolutely disgusting and I have to bleach the sink or tub twice afterwards, so no thanks. I do think CDing is awesome, but I'm just not in the right place to do it.

    The only person that I know IRL who uses cloth diapers is also on hellobee! We don't have too many friends with kids yet though. I know one friend who really wanted to CD, but there was no diaper service in her area and they didn't live in a place where washing diapers was feasible.

    I'm the only one that cloth diapers. None of my friends have even seen a cloth diaper in person. When I showed my SIL my bum genius stash she was so surprised.

    @Coco Bee: Glad it's not just me! My sister thinks I'm weird, but if I put a disposable on her(Ihaven't washed) she turns her nose up.LOL

    My parents tried to talk me into it, so I invited them to come over and do laundry. I do use cloth diapers from time to time at home, but I just can't make it work all the time and keep up with it.

    Honestly I really don't care how anyone but myself and my husband feels about our choices to diaper, feed, and raise our son. I'm just too darn tired keeping up with our son, the house, and my job.

    I had a friend start to freak out on me last week because I put down a blanket on the floor in front of our seats at the ballgame and let my son roll around on it. I told her to save it, and we changed topics.
