PP sorry to hear about the stress that MCN's cause! Is it only MCN's that cause tension? I only ask because sometimes my husband is just generally annoyed, and he picks something to take his frustration out on, when it really isn't the cause of his frustration. e.g. how much time our fish tanks take. It's not really the tanks he is annoyed by, but just his general lack of spare time in general. I hope you don't sell the MCN's only to find that he is really frustrated about something else.
Going half disposie half MCN sounds like a nice compromise, and something we are thinking of doing as well.
I think it can. I think DH laughs at me when I talk about the nappies, but I think it is a little different because it was actually him that was adament about me using cloth in the first place. Environmental nut. lol
I think though that is a pretty bit of fluff worth the problems with your hubby?? And whilst it (obviously) not going to be the whole and most important problem in your relationship atm, the gesture of getting rid of them for his sake may just be the whole and most important sacrifice you make for the sake of your relationship. It may just make him aware that you are serious about things and allow you both to actually address the main issue without it being masked. iykwim. Im sorry you and hubby arent getting on hunny and I hope you dont have to give up on MCN forever completely!!
Ohh interesting. I really only want a few so I can figure out what brand will work for us . No pressure, but when you are ready to part with them just shoot me a pm!
When I'm not in a good place healthwise or mentally, there is more falling apart around me than just having to fold nappies kwim. But it's easy to say "if I didn't have to fold these nappies then I'd be able to do the dishes/iron/clean the bathroom" etc.
Today I've washed, pegged & folded 1 load of towels, 1 load of boys clothes, 1 load of DH & mine, Ruby's bedding & folded nappies washed yesterday.
Yesterday I only did a load of nappies because I couldn't be bothered doing anything else. I don't blame having to do washing all day today on nappies, rather my slack mood yesterday. The work I have from nappies is stuff all compared with everything else I need to do to keep my house going.
Maybe the nappies are a "whipping boy" because it's a chore that you choose to have because there is another option. Perhaps you need a break. I've had a few (been clothing it full time for over 2 years now) but after a few days and they are nicely folded and stored I tend to think it's not so bad afterall.
I can tell you that I don't miss that dreaded feeling of realizing there is only one nappy in the packet and having to go out at 9pm to buy some
Just don't do anything rash like sell off everything till you're totally sure!
I go through phases of liking them...and then hating them. Sposies are so much easier and i dont have to do a thing with them.
I hate the washing and folding bit of cloth. But on the upside they save me alot of money and with soon to be 3 in cloth....every penny saved is not hurting my bank balance as much.
I dont use them at night anymore....i hate the smell and wet feeling when my girls wake up....and i dont like how bulky they are under thieir little butts to sleep on.
I use sposies for: Night, FDC, shops, going out. Cloth is at home only.
