I appear to have angered Twitter's vegetarians by asking if it's bad form to bring emergency bacon..

[Classic Jorge]

...to a meal at one of their houses.

It's quite amusing how intolerant vegetarians are of carnivores. I don't like mung beans, or any other pulse for that matter, but refusing to cook it would be a bit rude, no?

cloth nappies.

I actually don't think it's an entirely bad idea, but to avoid any risk of being mistaken for the kind of moral narcissist who makes those decisions under the disingenuous pretense of 'ethical living', I think I will stick to disposals.

[Classic Jorge]

Of course, now she's guilted you and your good lady about this you can add it to the pile of things you feel like you *should* do lest you be a bad parent.

Dont worry, this pile gets rather high but it's easier to ignore than a bin full of smelly disposable nappies. Get used to being told you are a bad, or at least sub-optimal parent, you'll be told off for giving them calpol or colic medicine too, and for tending to them when they cry.

about mens' reluctance to join their partner in the birthing pool being heavily correlated with the requirement to bring with you a sieve.

The humourless cow proceeded to give me the Larry David eyes and said sternly, "But, you would join her in the pool if she asked you to, wouldn't you. WOULD'NT you...."

[Pokster]

I proceded to stick my fingers up the dolls nose and drag it round the tub... she wasn't happy when i said this would stop me scolding my hands :uptightcow:

Nobody in their right mind uses cloth nappies. Plus, you can get these nappy bins that seal the thing in a scented bag for you these days, I'm told - clearly the answer.

[Pokster]

just double bag a nappy bag and stick it in the dustbin (or chuck it over next doors wall if you don't get on)

The finest shawarma ever. And huge - I only managed half of it.

[Curly]

Just remember not to stick the pin into the baby's belly.Now *that* is a quality scream

[Monty91]

head turned :rolleyes:

It does seem the cloth ones would be a significant money saver - especially if you have more than one baby. It's just the idea of a bucket full of ****ty water permanently in your house and rinsing the **** out before you stick the nappies in the machine that puts me off.

[Red N White Army]

They're not even remotely better for the environment.

[Berni]

as far as I'm concerned, thank God. Don't miss it one bit - babies are tedious in the extreme. Children don't begin to get interesting until they're about 5 or 6 imo. And even then in small doses.

Use as a one-off if you ever run out of nappies.Pulled me out of a hole a few times

[Berni]

want to do is wash ****ty nappies. Just isn't going to happen.

You really have no idea what's coming, do you? :hehe:

[Berni]

container for you to clutch on your journey home.

[Monty91]

and that my partner's hate for me will grow by the day, so this is what I am expecting :shrug:

[Red N White Army]

Just so you don't have to wash quite so many/cart it around or up and downstairs and stuff.

See you in about 18 months once you have a slither of a life back :thumbup:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Chateau Ksara, so by the time the food arrived I was shouty and chucking red wine everywhere.

The bloke who had to change the tablecloth was kind but a tiny bit pointed as he removed the glass from my hand...

[Curly]

is ready to fúck the baby agin the wall imo.
You'll have to take the wee ******* out for at least 4 or 5 hours

[Curly]

Talking about shawarma when the thread is about ****ty nappies?

Things like 2 sets of changing gear upstairs and downstairs, whilst seemingly obvious, were missed 1st time round and made life much easier once the simple fact dawned on us!
