Ridding the world of ignorance one idiot at a time!

Yesterday (Wednesday) I took Isaiah to have lunch with Daddy then we went and hung out at the mall til he got off....we were originally going to check out the Lego store but it was lame...so we walked around and found a fantastic indoor playground! Isaiah had so much fun and I was having a blast too until it was  time to find a bathroom to change a diaper...As many of you may already know we made the switch to cloth diapers about 3 or so months ago. Well lately I've been brave enough to go out clothing and decided yesterday we would go all cloth all day no matter what! So here we are in the bathroom cleaning up a poopie and some ignorant lady chimes in "thats disgusting!" I ignored her and continued cleaning Isaiah up and as I placed the dirty diaper in the wet bag she said "I can't believe your just going to put that in there how disgusting!" at first I was just going to ignore her and keep my mouth shut because she was just ignorant and didn't know what she was talking about, but she kept going on and on. Finally I had enough! I asked her was so soooo disgusting about changing my son's diaper? " you're going to carry a poopie diapers around with you! you should use these(a disposable) and just throw it away thats what you're suppose to do with it... you're going to smell...your house must stink!"   I then got on my soap box (tried super hard to remember all the things Jennifer had told me about disposables)... actually no you're not SUPPOSE TO THROW POOP IN THE TRASH!!! it belongs in the toilet so that it can be treated properly so it doesn't contaminate our drinking water! Are you aware of how long it takes a diaper to break down in a landfill? It is guessed it will take around 200-500 years for a diaper to decompose but you and I will never know because we will be dead and gone before even 1of them is gone! No I do not smell nor does my house! I have this bag (shoved it in her face to prove I don't stink) it keeps the moisture and smell in and I have a cotton ball with lavender oil on it in-case some smell may seep out! And at home I have a container with a lid and  a liner with oil and baking soda and i was every other day! By this time I think she was baffled and didn't know what to say.... I then admitted to her that I hadn't always used cloth diapers and that I still on occasion used a disposable because cloth diapering is hard even on good days *sings, its not easy being green*. Its a decision that I and Michael made for our family and its not always right for everyone but please keep your mouth shut if you don't know what you're talking about. I asked her to cure her ignorance (or stupidity depends on how you look at it) and google cloth diapering so that next time when she sees a mother changing her child's CLOTH DIAPER she will be well informed and could maybe say thank you to her for not contribution to the 18+ billion disposables thrown away every year! I've added a link so that you too can inform yourself about cloth! *steps off soap box* http://www.realdiaperassociation.org/diaperfacts.php
