PP, I normally get up in the morning and make myself a cuppa, then i sit down and read the cloth nappy thread. This generally leads to me browsing around for a while and some days I may spend up to a couple of hrs wandering around here. I can tell you that it does interfere with my day. I used to be alot more productive early in the morning than I am now. Adam makes smart alec remarks about me being here, and for now, they are good natured but I could see how that could change.
Do you think that your hubby is resentful of the nappies? or is it the time here combined with the obsession that alot of us seem to be struck down by when the term "fluffy mail" is mentioned.
TBH if adam spent as much time tooling around on a web site as I do, I recon I would get grumpy.
Sorry, it's prob not you want to hear, but it is something I have been mulling over myself.

i think with 2 in cloth - i was every 1.5 days. Then hang out, then fold, then just chat about them (no fluffy mail here in a llooooooooooooong time though).
Today we ran out of cloth as it was a little overcast and i hadnt folded them and i think that sparked him again. I made to joke.. oops need to buy more which didnt go down well.
He hates LS them, hates night nappies and hate pooey ones...
I understand our relationship issues atm are much deeper.. but would selling EVERYTHING make it easier???
PP - it is a lot more work with 2 in cloth - I'll admit that. Just one was easy. If its causing you guys distress though - how about you have a little "holiday" from them. Or just do it part time.
It can take up a lot of time. Although, I still get to spend time with DH because I fold my nappies of a night time - after the kids have gone to bed (but before getting DD up at 10pm for her last feed) and we sit down with a cup of tea (well he has a glass of milk - wuss! haha) and we fold them TOGETHER.
I have thought so many times to myself, geez it would be soooo much easier to do disposables, would have so much more time - but I reckon its time well spent - and I'd probably cut down on my time spent on here before I would give up the MCN's.
In short no. I only have 1 in cloth and there is no more rashes from sposies and he has only had an issue with rashes once (I blame his dad cz he didnt change him often enough when he had him but thats another story).
I did find that when I was with XP he had an issue with cloth so to make it simple I did it all and he did baths instead. Made it easy on me as I genuinely enjoy watching tv and putting DS's nappies together and didnt like bathing DS in the begining. I think its about talking it out and seeing if theres a way to reduce the stress in our household
HTH
Why don't you sell half and just use cloth part time, or here and there? Maybe that would take some pressure off you a bit.
I agree it's not worth fighting over, but sometimes anything will spark a fight won't it!
Do you ENJOY the time it takes to do cloth nappy stuff?
