One of the many money hungry things that are a need right now in our house are diapers. We have three, beautiful, little love bugs still in them. One is acceptable because he is only 2 months. The other two on the other hand.... One is almost two so we have begun to get her used to the toilet. The other is 3 and a half. Yes, I said 3 1/2. Who said girls are easier never met my daughter Alainna. She refuses to pee in the toilet. Don't get me wrong, she sits on the potty just fine. Every 15 minutes as a matter of fact. But to pee is whole nother thing. She will sit there and hold it until I put her panties back on then she lets loose. This has been going on for almost a year now. I have taken breaks from the potty training during the year. I will work with her for 3 to 4 weeks then take a month off, this is for my sanity. Now I have resorted to taking away her favorite toy; her doll, her baby, her love. This is only day one, but so far so BAD. She is not going to give in. The doll is not as loved as I thought. Her first love is her diaper. Her $48 a month diaper. Ugggg.
When our children decide to take the road of freedom from sitting in waste we put the money used for diapers into an account for them. This money goes towards activities they will eventually want to do, extra luxury clothes or camps that they will attend when they are older. This is a great way to pay for the extras they want without breaking the bank of the parents.
Everyone has something they need to give up or something that is costing them money that they don't need; smoking, drinking, food binges, too many purses or shoes or even just diapers are some examples. Where could you better use the money?? Vacation, a new car, a down payment on a house. How great would it be to do these things with cash instead of on credit.
Keep checking back to find out if the baby gets to go home or if Alainna really does love her diapers more.
