YOU CAN CLOTH DIAPER WHILE TRAVELING

It is totally possible to use cloth diapers when you and your baby are on the road and this video shows you how one mom does this. 

LITTLE BABY, BIG POOP, WONDERFUL MAMA

The reasons I love this video:

- the mother isn't afraid to acknowledge what her little one has done;
- she is playful about it, using the word "poopeys";
- she's looking at things from the baby's perspective by asking if the baby feels better;
- she goes to change the baby right away, practicing good hygene and not making the baby sit in it's own waste;
- she doesn't get annoyed or make the baby feel ashamed

ADULT CLOTH DIAPER RESOURCES

First, out of British Columbia, it's
Babykins,
 so-called because they used to sell cloth baby diapers.

Next, out of Oakville and serving across Canada, it's
Healthwick,
 which has reusable and other kinds of products.

Serving the United States, it's
Parent Giving,
 which has reusable and other products, as well as many other items for the aged.

Then, there is the aptly named Adult Cloth Diaper.com.

CHANGING ALL THOSE DIAPERS WOULD BE A PRIVILEGE

Though I do not agree with most of what feminism says or the LGBT agenda, this post points to something important. Men have a desire to care for children, including changing diapers, just as women do. The degree of feeling surrounding it as compared to a woman is debatable, but it is in men nonetheless.

Growing up, the predominate feeling was that all men or boys who wanted to babysit, go into ECE or otherwise care for children were pedophiles. This article shows that, though we have largely gotten past this thinking, it still persists to a great extent in our society.

Fortunately, there was one notable woman who was an exception to this thinking whom I had in my life as a child. I had one babysitter who had a son who was a little stubborn to toilet train and a baby daughter who came along during the time when her mother was sitting my sister and me. She would tell me about her son's toilet training struggles when I asked about them and she let me help with changing her daughter, throwing away the old diaper and getting a new one.

Thank you, woman whose name I of course won't mention here. Helping make your daughter dry and comfortable again was a true privilege.

WHEN ROLES ARE REVERSED

A couple articles about that time in your life when you become the parent to your parents.

First, a woman recounts visiting, and changing, her mother.

Second, a woman truly makes a sacrifice to ensure her mom has the best brand of pull on adult diaper for her needs.

PARENTS, THAT LEAKY DIAPER WILL BE SOMETHING YOU'LL LAUGH ABOUT IN THE FUTURE

This is so heartening. It's moments like this you remember most as a parent; not the things you think you'll remember
