>Since we’re moving in T-12 days and counting, I’ve decided it’s probably best to wash all the diapers and pack them away until we’re in our new apartment in DC.
This probably sounds like a perfectly logical and sound decision to many of you, but I feel like I’m cheating on cloth diapers! I feel like I made a decision and here I am giving up because it’s not the most convenient option.
It’s not like we don’t have enough diapers for me to wash them all before we start our 26 +/- hour drive and have enough. And it’s not like I’m working or even packing up the house (thank you, company relocation money), but I do have other laundry to catch up on and some organizing/decluttering to accomplish in the next week.
Some of you may totally understand what I’m saying and be thinking the same thing: “you lazy butt”. Meanwhile some of you maybe thinking I’ve lost my mind to be worrying about this, but here I am, feeling a little tormented. On one hand I think I’m being smart by taking things off my plate so I don’t loose my mind… I already can’t sleep at night. But on the other hand, I made a decision and we invested in some pretty expensive pocket AIO diapers and I’m making excuses for myself not to use them AND I feel like I’m just being silly because really, there are so many women out there doing so much more than I do on a daily basis.
Have any of you ever felt like this? Or am I just being crazy?
>Totally understand what you are feeling. I agonized over not using our cloth diapers on this three week mega trip, but in the end, my sanity was more important than figuring out how to transport and wash those diapers every few days. You do as much as you can, and that's all you can do! Good luck with the move! 🙂
>You are doing the right thing! When we absolutely can't use cloth diapers, I use Flip's with a cover. They are biodegradable and fairly cheap. Baby Cotton Bottoms sells them – and they come in a package like diapers. So easy.
I know, I feel guilty about stuff like that too but like sassyshell said, sometimes your sanity is more important than a few weeks of diapering. <3
