Comments on: I suspect my mother-in-law owns stock in a diaper company http://mothergoosemouse.com/2008/09/21/i-suspect-my-mother-in-law-owns-stock-in-a-diaper-company/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

Disposable diapers are just so much easier to me. But even better than simple disposable diapers? OVERNIGHT DIAPERS!

They are my heros because I will not be dipping my hands in the toilet any time soon. The hubby gets to do any fishing required in that little pond. Hehe. I love Pampers.

Unfortunately, it is those kinds of comments that get my goat everytime, and I end up stewing about it for hours on end. I even ended up writing a book about it it save my sanity! It's called, The Daughter-in-Law Rules: 101 Surefire Ways to Manage (and Make Friends with) Your Mother-in-Law! I'm a pampers mommy all the way. And I do the same as you - wait until there's a real reason to change - they are getting more and more expensive!!!
