So, let me elaborate a little more on why my blog is called Beer and Diapers. The beer part is probably obvious as so many instances that happen throughout a day end with the reassurance that there this is an ice cold beer in the fridge.  The diapers part, that one needs a little more explanation. True, I have kids, and they wear diapers like any other kids, except there is one difference.  My oldest daughter is six and still wears pull ups to bed! The same as my four year old (not as big a deal as my six year old I understand but she was out of daytime diapers before her second birthday. I had high hopes for her).  Most households are completely done with the expense by the time the child is three.  We are clearly skewing that mold.   I read that it cost around $1500 for the first two years just in diapers. 

It isn’t just the money that causes me to drink, it is the smell! When they are old enough to remove them their selves, they will. They will take them off wherever they can and leave them there. I cleaned my room today and found three peed-in diapers under my bed! Gross!!! What does that say about me when I couldn’t even smell it? (I really have to find time to clean more!)

My daughter started Kindergarten last year. In the beginning she was doing great, but about two months into it, she was having accidents every day.  I ended up having to send her to school in pull ups. I took her to the doctors three times thinking that something was wrong with her wiring or something. I have also Googled lots about my little issue. I guess I have to wait it out. They will grow out if it they say. Over sensitive bladders they say. Don’t let them think it is a negative thing they say.  Get a Potty Pager they say. Give them medicine they say. Wake them up in the middle of the night they say. Reduce fluids before bed they say. A chiropractor may help they say………….  I say, hurry up and put your pull up. I have a beer waiting for me! Does anyone else have any solutions to my little expensive issue? Good night everyone! :-)
