[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 729848, member: 16024"] I wasn’t particularly experienced with babycare. I had a baby sister and helped out some, but I was often busy with school and activities. I babysat a few times as a teen, but mostly kids that were out of diapers. My first job “real” job was a paper route, and I mowed lawns and worked on the farm. I much preferred this to babysitting. My mom wasn’t very interested in teaching me domestic skills, as her favorite phrase was “I’m not raising my girls to be housewives”. She was very against cloth diapers and breastfeeding. My first were twins, and I read books about that. No Spock. My third was born 22 months after the twins. I finally figured out what was causing that and put a stop to it.... I really enjoyed my last one the most. My older kids were teens and I just had the one baby. I nursed her till she was four. I still enjoy her so much. It’s bittersweet, knowing that she is my last. I remember, when my oldest three were in diapers, one brand had pink ones for girls and blue ones for boys. They didn’t have that anymore when my youngest was born. When my son was an infant, the changing table was in the bathroom, right across from the toilet. I heard my then-husband call me to come quick. When I got there he had the baby on the changing table, diaper off to be changed. My son had started to pee and it pointed up and over, straight into the bowl. Not a drop outside the toilet. Cutest thing I ever saw! (For some reason, he hates it when I tell this story).... [/QUOTE]
