[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 734657, member: 1550"] When i think about it, disposable diapers were sort of expensive if they were name brands and even more now. Ususlly I hust bought off brands that were not expensive. I never lived in a neighborhood that was not at least middle class. Some people who lived there we're upper middle, some middle middle and some working class. And this is the sort of place where I live now. It is also rural in certain areas, but mostly not. Mostly houses and some small apartment complexes. It is very diverse. When I worked as a bus aide at Head Start (you had to be lower income to send your kids there) I had to sub as an aide in classrooms too. Sometimes I was in the infant to two year old or two year old room and we changed diapers often there. We had a time to change them all but if a kid pooped we changed tje diaper right away. Every child there wore disposables. We also kept extra disposables. For us in this part of Wisconsin, which is not rich, disposables are cultural, I guess. Moms use disposables just as they did when Bart was born...in the place where I lived. I never lived anywhere where cloth was used. And I had my oldest in 1977. It was like that in my world way back then. Most of Head Start was single moms and somehow disposables were in the budget. That was all we saw. [/QUOTE]
