So I have wanted to do cloth diapers for a variety of reasons 1) price over all is cheaper 2)better for the environment but cloth diapers without a dryer and during a week of rain is not really a good combination. I have 2 dozen diapers and generally Misora goes through about a dozen a day. For the past 2 days we have brought the laundry to the laundromat to dry them but the laundromat, while being within walking distance its not a walking distance in which you want to drag a bunch of laundry along.
So today, my mom walked down to Youme Town and bought some disposable diapers. That ought to help a bit with the laundry situation so that at least we will have some diapers. I will have to go back to the cloth diapers back when I am in Tokyo (the 24th!!!!!) and I have access again to my dryer.
I am a bit annoyed that the weather was so nice last week when I was stuck in the hospital all day long for so long and now that I have a bit more freedom, the weather just plain sucks.
My MIL has been annoying both my mother and me. First we had to deal with the fact that the ILs were never visiting with the baby and now that we get back they still don`t do much with the baby and then MIL seems to be annoyed that she doesn`t do much with the baby (even though I constantly ask her when she is around if she wants to hold the baby). Yesterday my mother was taking a picture of the baby in the crib and MIL goes into the room and takes out the cloth diapers that she had bought. I went to go find her and asked her why she took them and she says “You don`t need them” I was like “huh? of course I will use them” it had only been half a day that I had even been using the diapers (which I bought myself) of course I haven`t used all the diapers.
Eventually MIL returned the diapers to the basket but she then spent the next couple of hours slamming doors. I even asked her if there was a problem and she was like no. I had to get T to call and asked what the problem was and you know what his answer was “They`re shy.” WTF? T basically told me to shove the baby in their faces so that they would interact with her. Huh? I nicely ask if they want to hold her and they say no but if I shove her in their face that is suppose to make things better? I told T that if she continued to do this I no longer want to stay. Mom is already threatening to just head back home herself before the trip is suppose to end. If she leaves I am definitely leaving and I am not likely to ever come back ever again.
Mom and I have decided that MIL just likes to have things her way and have them done only when she wants it done. Without even asking me, my day of departure has already been decided and tickets bought. Looks like I get to spend at least 4 extra days with her at my house. Sure will be rather annoying. Of course everything will be done to how I like it.
In other news, Misora has decided that she does not want to sleep alone, she will only go to sleep when she being held. Mom thinks a lot of it is the gas that is caused by the cabbage and onions I am eating at practically every meal (we dont really have much of a choice on meals around here).
Well, so that things end on a postitive note, who can resist a cute baby with ladybugs on her feet.
