Cloth Diapering

I must admit... I am addicted to cloth diapering. I wish the thought would have crossed my mind with my first two! Every time I change my daughters diaper, I feel so good about it! The mere thought of the amount of damage me diapering my boys has caused this incredible Earth terrifies me, and leaves me guilt ridden. I do my best to not let it get me down too far. I am Cloth Diapering now. Its not like I have turned away from the idea and continued down the same path... Knowing that it takes 500 years for a single diaper to dispose is so sad. When I first mentioned going cloth to my hubby he wasn't thrilled, but he wasn't terrified either. He isn't one for much of caring of such things, but definitely doesn't care to put any extra effort in if it isn't absolutely necessary. The other day, however, he said, "I don't understand how our daycare provider prefers Fuzzi Bunz. I love the g Diapers. I could have cared less when we started this journey, but now I wouldn't have it any other way." I about fell over. First of all, he declared a love for cloth! This man finds my concern for our Earth silly and my efforts to preserve it pointless. (I sold him on cloth by focusing on the benefits to our wallets rather than our environment, but he loves something I love and we are one of those opposites attract couples so this is rare!). I am pretty sure our love was rekindled the second he muttered these words. I don't think he understands how much of an impact that had on our relationship. I'm sure he just "knows" that he is so irresistible and thus I am swooning over him. ;) I suppose I have a few points from what I have said here. As far as going Cloth, I am thrilled I did. I love my g Diapers for certain reasons and my Fuzzi Bunz for others, and I am pretty happy with the few Bum Genius and Happy Heinies we have as well! :) I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to try more brands, but again I am a student, mother of 3 and we just cant afford it. It is quite addicting though! I just wish I had the knowledge I do now when I started... Could've saved me quite a bit! My second point is to show how major of an impact such simple things can have, for either good or bad. The little things really do count, including attempting to like the things your significant other likes in order to simply share something... That is such an amazing thing to have as a foundation for an honest, sincere, loving commitment.
