Okay so I am a working momma, and I get asked ALL the time if I think Cloth Diapers are worth it as a working momma. Well, honestly, I first thought is does my working really matter regarding if it is "worth" it or not?
Well here's a piece that I had written but never got posted....
I switched to cloth diapers when Miss Sassy was about 18 months old (she is now 5). I was not one of those moms who had it all together right before she was born. I did not get our life under control till about the time she turned one. Thus, is when I started looking into cloth diapering. Daddy was not sold on the original idea. So the first purchase I made was for 6 one size Bum Genesis diapers and 1 diaper cover and 6 prefolds. This was the trial run for us. I loved them, Daddy not so much. However, he humored me so we went ahead and purchased more one size Bum Genesis diapers and more covers and prefolds. We now have a large collection. So people ask me why I did the extra expensive bum genesis.... 1) easier to make the transition from disposable to cloth, 2) when you start late like I did and are planning on having more kids, it's turns out to be a great buy.

So Daddy was home with Sassy the other day since they both were not feeling well. If Daddy is home by himself he typically still uses disposables since he doesn't want to be bothered by the hassle of cloth. I just about fell over when I got home from work and noticed that Sassy was in a cloth diaper, interesting I thought. Then I went up to her bathroom and there was the pile of cloth diapers waiting for me to handle. I know some people would not welcome this with the smile that I did. But to me it meant that Daddy has finally come around to my thinking and sees the logic in using the cloth diapers and will now do it with out being reminded or asked.
Okay now fast forward 3 and a half years. Baby #2 Little Miss has come along and we are still using the same cloth diapers on her that I did on Miss Sassy. Daddy is STILL not a fan. He STILL leaves them piled in the bathroom for me to handle if he changes a diaper!! But I'm okay with that. I have added to our statsh some and recently purchased some trainers from a friend of mine to try out. But God honest truth. I TOTALLY believe that cloth diapers have saved us a small fortune!! It only truly adds an extra 2 loads to my laundry a week. I wash on Sundays and Wednesdays. I don't think thats a big deal compared to the price of diapers today!

So Yes, I believe that even as a WORKING MOMMA cloth diapers are TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
