I would rather stuff pockets than try to fasten a prefold or flat. There. I said it. I feel like the black sheep now.

I'd rather do neither.

Meaning AIO?  Or meaning you'd prefer no diapers?  Because we've been at this potty training thing for a few months now, and I really prefer diapers.

I don't like pocket diapers. It's like the halfway point between a prefold in a cover and a true AIO, and I just don't get it. It isn't convenient. It's a PITA to stuff them, they usually end up super bulky, and you still have to toss the whole thing in the wash (as opposed to reusing a cover). If you need extra absorbency, why not just add a doubler to an AIO?

The first time I went shopping with E when she wasn't wearing a diaper my blood pressure might have spiked just a little.

If I had to guess I probably asked E 20 times if she had to use the potty during our 60 minute shopping trip.

So last night I took V's diaper off in our bedroom. His potty chair is in our master bath, and we've been encouraging him to sit on it while we go. When I took his diaper of, I asked him if he wanted to sit on it sans diaper. He did, but he was crying and whining about it. ..I didn't force him or anything, but whatever. That was the first time he even say on it naked. I told DH,and all he could say wad that I have to be careful taking his diaper off on the carpet, and he's just going to pee on it. I'm pretty sure potty training is going to mean pee everywhere. 

[rrrrrachel]

It's not the stuffing pockets that gets me. It's the unstuffing.

[mimsy]

I dislike pockets for the fact that I can't reuse them..

If current booster seat laws had been in place when I was a kid, I would have been in a booster seat for my first date. That would've made it slightly more awkward and embarassing than it was in real life.

UO- I hate camo print that's not there for functionality. Hunting gear or a military uniform, fine. But on baby and toddler clothes? Hate it. Unless your 6 month old is going hunting or on a military mission, I just don't understand.
I also hate baby and toddler shirts that have words on them that are either about or supposed to be from the kid. "Daddy's little princess," "Too cute," "Party in my crib at 2 AM." Or "Hide your daughters" in size 3-6 months. That one pissed me off.

I have camo ballet flats.  I wear them so people can't see me sneaking up on them. 

E has a camo BB cover.  I showed her that it matched my shoes, and she clinked them together and said "cheers!"

Omg Raegan loves to cheers things, too!

i ordered urine/feces-free children when i got my kids.  you really should have looked in to that before you had P and E

more confessions:
i wait until summer to potty train my kids. and by potty-train, i mean let them run around our yard in underwear and/or naked until they figure out what's going on. usually only takes 2 days.

I vaguely know who they are but I have no idea which brother is which.

I actually had a trivia crack question asking who played thor and they were both options. I can't remember if I got it right at the time, but I think Chris is Thor and Liam is the guy in hunger games, right?

Oh! Hunger Games! I was trying to remember what I knew him from. Yes, I think you're right. Both very handsome men.

I've only met 1 of your 4, but I can tell you right now, you ought to ask for your money back.

You could use the refund to buy more diapers.

I haven't started with the diapering yet (baby is still on the inside) but I've wondered this. I bought a 4.0 because it was Jules (on black friday) and that was the only option left, and it came with sassy. And I got 3 hand-me-down pockets. But other than that, I feel like an AIO, AI2, cover with choice of filler, are so much easier and convenient. Why are pockets everywhere? THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.

Also, why are there so many super cute (and often spendy) fitteds when you have to cover them up? Do people let their LOs run around without covers at home because they're cute?

[sarenu]

Pockets are customizable. You can stuff them with inserts, prefolds, flats, etc. All-in-ones aren't.

Covers still need an insert set in, a prefold or flat that is either folded or pinned. Which many daycares won't do.

[rugger]

scaggsed Some fitted diapers are hardy enough to be cover free while LO runs around. I wouldn't let my 2 yr old do it because she pees buckets, but a not so heavy pee-er would be fine.

I totally did this with DS1 and plan/hope to do it again with DS2! And I live in town, but it's a very small (200 people) town.

[chickypoo2468]

I think buying an entire stash of diapers before you even are planning when you will start TTC is weird.

[unaveragejane]

I forgot that the double edge of having a truly unpopular opinion is that people don't agree with you. Haha!

[rrrrrachel]

You're not the first person I've heard say they do it that way, sak!

I don't mind potty training at home but the first few months made leaving the house miserable.

[chickypoo2468]

And toddlers on public toilets... So not fun.

Why must they touch everything???

[rrrrrachel]

Mine won't go on a public toilet most of the time. She has a noise aversion to everything about public restrooms. Good thing she's a camel.

[sasq09]

Liam

[sasq09]

Chris

[sasq09]

Which is more popular?

[mimsy]

Chris, because he is Thor. And he pissed off his agent because he decided to marry his long time gf- who was not a celeb.

He also baby wears.

[mimsy]

[unaveragejane]

Oh! We just watched Red Dawn the other day (the new one with Chris), and now every time is see a new "for the good of the community post" on TB, I think of Korea.

[CurlieWhirlie]

Oh yeeeah! I had forgotten that about Chris Hemsworth. Photos of him babywearing are super cute. I didn't know that his agent was mad when he married a non-celeb, that seems really, really stupid. I still prefer Liam for looks, though.
