[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 245409, member: 1991"] When you're using disposable nappies you can get away with changing them less often, if they're just wet. I know that sounds barbaric, but the manufacturers go to a great deal of trouble to make their product hold more, with less problem to the skin (and less leakage). I did find I changed cloth nappies when only a little bit damp, but the same amount of fluid in a disposable nappy would pass unnoticed. Using cloth - I'd change ten a day. Using disposables - sometimes only four, sometimes (as they got older especially) even less. Breast-fed newborns need a lot more changes. The fake nails - some people have to have fake nails, they have to have their make-up on. We're talking about someone who wants to identify herself with Angelina Jolie. If you're accustomed to having fake nails, then you find ways to manage nature so second-nature, it's like breathing. It's true they're not very practical, but if you're used to them... It does possibly indicate a way of thinking that could be seen as self-obsessed, but in some cultures it's perfectly understandable. One of the mothers at difficult child 3's drama class is a "yummy mummy", always wearing meticulous make-up, perfect manicure, lots of bling, fashionable clothes. Underneath it all, she's a great mother. Her son is also well-groomed and well-dressed. But they can afford it. Also remember, the media attention is probably her reason for going out and spending money on her appearance. I remember a couple of times when I've been scheduled to be on TV for various reasons (a couple of game shows, plus I've been interviewed a few times) I had people ask me if I was going to get my hair done first. What - for an interview? But that is how some people think. And in this woman's case, she wants to make a good impression on the TV, so she can raise some sponsorships to pay the bills. Which also worries me about this case as well as the 13 year old father case - the people cashing in on the story, forgetting the human victims in the situation. As for the doctor who does these over-the-top multiple implantations - I hope they throw the book at him. It's unethical, immoral, callous and dangerous, all to boost his own "successful pregnancy" statistics. I bet he's not being honest about his mortality stats! Marg [/QUOTE]
