WHY-Wednesday: Why do I cloth diaper? Part 1/3

So here I go...

You knew this day was coming.

You saw it from a mile away.
And you were dreading it.
(Or were you?)

Why do I cloth diaper?


****

Did you know everything we do has a price tag?

I mean, really... think about it--

Cook at home?  Kitchen will get dirty.
Go out to eat?  Will spend more money.

Let the kiddos watch TV?  Hinder them from developing their creative skills.
Don't let the kiddos watch TV?  You go insane as a mother.

Exercise?  You get tired.
Don't exercise?  You don't burn calories.

Clean the house?  Miss out on relaxing.
Don't clean the house?  House stays dirty.  

Buy new clothes?  Spend money.
Don't buy new clothes?  Don't look/feel as nice.

Take a nap?  Miss the chance to do something without kids all over you.
 Don't take a nap?  Remain tired.

Leave your home nice and cool during the summer?  High power bill.
Don't leave your home nice and cool during the summer?  Sweat all summer long.

Save money each month?  Miss out on shopping sprees, going out to eat, etc.
Not save money?  Not build retirement account. 

Use disposable diapers?  Pay $40 a month per child on diapers.
Use cloth diapers?  Dealing with human waste and extra loads of laundry.

When it comes to covering your kiddo's bottom--
what price are you willing to pay?
