[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 733946, member: 1550"] The smell alone would have made me choose disposables. Nothing to keep or launder. So why expose myself to it? My mom did not wash diapers in the sink or tub. Nor do I recall a pail. I don't know if there were washers and dryers back then but she had one at the house, I think, after we moved from Chicago to our house. I don't remember a laundry line in back either. My grandma had one at her apartment. Diapers, or anything associated with them, apparently did not interest me. I can barely remember my siblings in diapers. I didn't change them or have much interest in them...I was never that little girl who wanted to be a mother to my siblings. And I tried hard not to be around my mother as she wasn't very nice to me so I didn't copy her. Except for calling my grandparents Mom and Pa! Also I had no nieces and nephews to babysit and did not do that in the neighborhood. So the first baby I changed was Bart and eagerly with disposables, which were easy, clean, and kept him relatively dry. No fuss, no mess, no big deal. Everyone I knew used them...maybe it was where I lived. As for now, I do NOTHING the way I was raised. I tried very hard to be different from my mother and did not sadly in any way admire my mother or want to copy her way of doing anything. And I didn't. She was a pathetic mother, at least in my mind.
