lol DP was scared by the thought of cloth at first and I think he passed some of that scaredness onto his mother... DP and his mum first thought I was using old style cloth!

Now that they have seen that MCNs and cloth is a lot more progressive then when he and I were in nappies the soon to be grandparents are coming around!

PMSL - they didn't even know about snappies!
my mum was sooooo like this - "if i have the baby for a day, it will be in sposies" - ummm, looks like you won't be looking after the baby then mum! should have seen her face!! i just told her she wasn't expected to wash the nappies (but knowing her, she will!), all she was expected to do was ONLY use the creams i provide, and to change the baby's bum. now i've been told when i go back to work there is NO WAY IN HELL her grandaughter is going into DayCare - between Granma days, Daddy days and my SIL, there will be no need for her to use Day Care - and the reason?? Cos Day Care make it harder to use MCN's! I've even converted my dad - picked up fluffy mail on the way to their house one day (Iish fly's) and showed dad the nappies - he realised they were really just "reusable sposies - but cute!" so he's all for it - i think when i converted him, mum realised that they weren't as evil as she'd first thought

having said that - i WILL have flats in my stash to use at home, and will possibly have half a dozen stashed at mum's house just in case. i have no issue using flats with snappis at home for convenience (mum used to do FDC back when it was really about incorporating kids into the family, so i've been changing nappies since i was 8, and looking after kidlets when mum couldn't - at their houses, not ours! - since i was 12) - flats aren't that scary. i also figure they'll be nice and quick to wash and dry at home if we have a run of icky weather. the purddy mcn's will be used when we go out (don't have a lot of little little ones) and flats at home for a while... mum and dad live half way between home and the shops, so having a small stash there will mean, if we have a bad day, i'll have a stash to use when i need them in an emergency!
