My kids are now at or approaching 30. By the time they came along, basically everyone was using disposable diapers. Not me! When I had teenagers come to babysit they had no clue how to make up the diapers so on those occasions I’d have Pampers on hand. I recently saw a diaper service truck .. thought those had gone out of business a long time ago.

I had 5 dozen cloth diapers for 4 kids in 5 years. I daren’t think about how many diapers that I’ve washed and folded. I actually shed a tear when the last diaper went into the rag bag. I think that happened when the youngest was about 6. Those multi-washed diapers made wonderful rags for polishing shoes, polishing furniture, and other household tasks.

One thing that I’ve noticed with my grandchildren is that they don’t become toilet trained as easily as my own kids did. I blame the disposable diapers that the GKs wear. They feel dry to them, even when they are wet, so it’s harder to catch them “in the act”. But, the advantage is that I think that diaper rash is almost a thing of the past.
