So I tried potty training DS2 with books, timer, treats, giving him lots of kool-aid & when he feels the sensation he'd go...nothing worked. Until two weeks ago I said: Diapers are yucky gross. You are a big boy and had him throw them out. And he was trained just like that. Every kid is SO different!!

I really find worn out, haggard, negative, BTDT mom's to be annoying. I hate the "Oh you just wait" garbage about sleep, or toddlers, or gross diapers. I hate the point of view that motherhood is only enjoyable as an idea, and once you become one life turns to suck. You know, perhaps YOU are doing it wrong if it sucks so much! Stop raining on the parade of newly pregnant/new moms. Let them have some joy! Not all BTDT mom's think its sucks. (from a SAHM three times over and still loves being a mom!)

The TSA is EVIL, and does not keep us safe. Very few of their abuses get in the news. My handicapped adult daughter spent $800.00 on polymer arm crutches b/c she flies 5-6 round trips a month for work, and TSA told her that She could use the metal detector with them, and avoid the invasive pat-downs she despises. TSA at Omaha still insists on a pat-down! Obviously small, blonde, professional women with spinal cord injuries are terrorists just like crying 4yos, and grandmas in diapers. How do we stop this madness?!?

Here is one confession I would never tell anyone in real life. I have 2 sons and 2 nephews and have changed countless other male diapers in my life. My confession, one of my sons has a HUGE penis (more than twice the size of most boys). It makes dh and I laugh (though we never say anything). He hates underwear because his penis falls out of the pocket. We have never mentioned it in the presence of either son (who are both under 6 years old). But it is hilarious (and slightly disturbing) how gigantic it is. Hopefully things equal out as he grows. - éè

Tonight DD will sleep without diapers for the first time. She's almost 2.5 and has been day trained for nearly 6 months. I bought cloth diapers that will feel wet to use for the first few nights and called 'em 'night underwear', and those blankets you put on top of the sheets. Wish me luck! I hope this isn't crazy, but you never know till you try, right? I day trained her early and said the same thing and was really glad I did, so let's give this a whirl. It's only laundry, right?

Feeling a little sad tonight thinking about my 12 year old son. He has severe autism. It's getting so hard to care for him. I know the reality is that he will have to live in a residential facility soon. I just get so heartbroken thinking of him living away from me but he is getting to big for me to handle anymore. Plus my husband refuses to help change diapers or care for him. I wld never wish this kind of choice on anyone. It's a pain that I can't even explain. No one ever plans this when you h

Out of diapers! I feel sad because my baby is growing up but I'm excited to not have to deal with buying them anymore.

Done buying diapers...at least until DH or I needs them.

Did you really just walk by and pound your fist on my garbage can? You know I put poopy diapers in that, right? Hoodlums.

I'm now using cloth diapers. I have cloth napkins, a diva cup, cloth pads, energy efficient lights, energy efficient appliances, I unplug stuff when I'm not using it, I keep my thermostat low in winter higher in summer, I rarely drive, I don't use a dryer, I use vinagar to clean, I recycle everything, I buy less, I eat less junk food, I eat locally, I turn off the lights when I leave a room, I eat less meat, I don't turn the lights on during the day. Somehow I just can't use cloth toilet paper. I will buy recycled toilet paper, but not cloth. I just can't and I cloth diaper. doesn't make sense
