The Cloth Diaper Chronicles: An Unbelievable Blast from the Past!

Hey everyone, I just had to share this wild memory because my friends straight-up don’t believe me!

​Apparently, modern parents have it easy. Back in the day, before we had the convenience of disposables (or maybe just a different era of parenting!), laundry was a whole different ballgame.

My mom (and probably many others of her generation) had a ritual that sounds unbelievable today: She used to take the dirty cloth diapers, rinse them in the toilet (yes, the toilet!), give them a good squeeze to wring out the water, and then toss them into the diaper pail until wash day.

​I know, right?! It sounds completely wild, but it was just part of the routine. It’s a true testament to the dedication, resourcefulness, and sheer grit of parents years ago.

​Did your mom or grandma do this? Tell me I’m not making this up!

​ Like & Share if this brings back memories (or just shocks you)!
