This isn’t about me, I’m thinking of how to do all of that in a small apartment with possibly several young kids, not even a welfare mom.
I’m the eldest of five, for us older kids cloth diapers were good, but the younger two who came after a gap were on disposable ones. Very busy mom, one bathroom, no way to tote everything. Disposable diapers were a blessing and she had in house washer and dryer.
I didn’t mean to sound critical — just reminiscing.
We raised four at a time when my/our income after taxes and union dues was $55 per week. I don’t have much sympathy for the young mother who works so she can pay for her toddlers to be herded into daycare where they do not do diapers or fix economical meals.
