- Okay, O' Superior Goddess of NetWisdom, I'll give it a try:
-
- I think it's great that other parents have a fetish about diaper
- changing, but not all parents choose to do that. Nobody changes
- the diapers around here. However we do clean the cage about
- once a week and hose down the baby's butt twice a day. Also
- we work long hours posting to the Nut-Noise Net and spend a lot
- of time flame-baiting and throwing. I spent a whole hour lining
- the cage with chicken wire so that the urine and feces would
- drop down and not stick on the baby's butt. Besides, he does
- have a cozy blanket in the corner so that if he chooses not
- to soil it, he'll have a comfortable place to sleep. We
- also do the laundry, grocery shopping and dump our kid off
- at my mother-in-law's every single day where he gets a full
- bath and lots of pampering. I definitely feel that we make
- a lot of effort to do this as it means driving over potholes
- and stepping across bloodstains to get there. Two, I prefer
- to clean the chicken wire. I even made a removable tray lined
- with newspaper to catch all the droppings. So, even though it
- may be nice to change diapers, there are other ways to work it.
