One of the local leading members of the Green Party was low income and became pregnant.
They had a small home with laundry and a clothesline.
As a gift, I offered to make a full set of custom cloth diapers and covers for the full requirements until toilet training.
(This would be weeks of work for me to complete the sewing and cutting and a real stretch on my low income)
I was told not to bother because they were not going to use cloth diapers.
It would have cost them pennies and very little effort, as both parents were part-time employed.
I felt very angry and I never spoke to them again.

"diaper costs have a huge impact on the cost of having a baby. The cost of diapers depend on whether you choose cloth diapers or disposable diapers to diaper your baby. The average cost of disposable diapers for one baby from birth to potty training is about $2400. For a family of 2 children the cost of disposable diapers will be about $4889.40. The average cost of cloth diapers is about $347.00 and can be used on multiple babies. The cost of laundering cloth diapers for 3 years is about $219.00"

In the 80s it was common to see parents stop walking and wait for their tiny sprog to catch up. I don't remember the last time I saw that. I admit I would find it annoying, but that is one of the many reasons I am CF. People who choose to have kids should accept they will be inconvenienced.

So why don't these broke-ass Moos use cloth diapers if the disposable ones are so expensive? I know they might be more expensive than the throwaway diapers, but they're also reusable. The issue is every single Moo thinks she's just so bizzy that she doesn't have time to wash cloth shitrags, even if it would mean saving a fucking fortune on diapers.
Or better yet, why don't they think for longer than a fraction of a second about how much a loaf is going to cost their asses? I know that's asking a lot, but it's just crazy enough to work!
Give them a pack of cloth diapers and show them how to wash them because a lot of these women probably wouldn't have the sense to breathe on their own if it wasn't an involuntary action. If they can't make fucking time to wash a rag for their own kids, then they don't have time to be parents, period. And the things these women do in order to make diapers last longer can't be good for their kids' health either. Some of these women will let their kids sit in their own filth for 12+ hours. Is it really cheaper when you have to take your kid to a doctor for a UTI or some other problem on a monthly basis because you're pinching pennies on diapers?
Get cloth nappies and get some elbow length rubber gloves. Flush contents of diaper in toilet, wash off in toilet, then wash normally in washing machine with bleach or whatever. I was basically doing this with wash cloths when my cat started having projectile liquid diarrhea on the floor multiple times a day and it's not hard at all. Gross, yes, but not difficult. Yes it's more effort than tossing the whole mess away and forgetting about it, but it's also going to save a bundle on disposable diapers.

Parent brings own potty seat on board, sets it in aisle midflight to have child use (in front of everyone)—when discovered by crew was advised she couldn't do this and would need to utilize the unoccupied lavatory...and her reply..."I don’t give a s**t!" the post stated.

Others simply wondered how the woman was able to get the potty onto the plane.
