[blparent] Cloth Diapers Anyone? (white flag)

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi.  Hopefully nobody's going to get upset over all of this.  Everyone does 
things differently, and as I said before, everybody has different 
priorities.

I think Bernadetta found it disgusting that some people just dumped soiled 
diapers into a pail without rinsing them and then threw the whole mess in 
the washing machine.  That seems rather gross to me, but that doesn't mean I 
think anybody who does cloth diapering is disgusting or unsanitary or 
judgmental.  It just means that I was shocked to hear that parents didn't 
rinse out the diapers first before washing them in their machines.

As to the newer dishwashers, I plan on doing some research.  I won't buy one 
till mine dies, but I'd love to have one that deals with food waste so well.

Peace sign,
Jo Elizabeth

Yes Bernadetta, I do get your point. You think I am a disgusting person who
puts clothing on my baby that is unsanitary. I think you willing expose your
baby to toxic chemicals through his precious delicate skin as well as
contributing to the collection of his bodily waste and those chemicals into
land fills where they can contaminate his drinking water. The difference is
that I think we all do what we can with what we have and try not to be
judgmental of people who make different choices. Have you done any actual
research on cloth diapering to know if it is sanitary? I have. My kids have
been out of diapers for years and I am not going to go and find that
research again now, but just because someone does it differently, it does
not mean it is wrong for goodness sake.

You might want to do a little dishwasher research too. Many of the new ones
are actually designed to deal with that food waste. This is not true of the
old cheap one in my house, but I have dreams. My sister has put plates she
used to make nachos on with melted cheese stuck to them into her dishwasher
and had them come out clean. No residue in the bottom of the dishwasher, on
the other dishes, or in any of the filters. She just scrapes plates off into
the trash and then puts them straight into the dishwasher to let it do the
work. It is one of my little dreams. :)

Jo,
I think that's just a guy thing--the thing about the dish washer. My
boyfriend admitted to not rinsing or scraping plates before he put them
in the dish washer when he lived alone; I thought that was absolutely
rediculous. It's not an issue for us for now because we dont' have a
dish washer in our apartment, but  I'm lucky enough that he's pretty
compliant  when it comes to cleaning my way. He'll do what I ask if I
emphasize it enough times.
I find it hard to believe as well that people would do that with dirty
diapers. How can someone claim to have a clean baby when they put those
on their kid? That's not even sanitary in my oppinion.
Yet, you know something; If a bunch of blind people did that, we'd be
scrutinized by everyone from family to social services and it would be
blamed on our ineffectiveness to parent while blind. When a group of
sighted people do that though, they're just left to their own
disgusting devices. lol.
Sorry, I'm rambling, but you all get my point.

Bernadetta
