Better than rip both mom and dad's sleep for no real reason. Mom is getting up anyway as a necessary part of the process. Dad is adding no value.
She's a doctor, not a god, no matter what she wants you to think.
Our son slept with us for a couple of days, then he slept in his own room.
rip mom's sleep
Worst part of trash day is emptying the diaper genie and there’s a bunch of air in the sleeve so to get enough slack to tie the knot you have to let out that little poof of fermented diaper. You try to hold your breath till it has surely dissipated but it never has by the time you inhale.
But then you get that chain of diapers you can knock against your wife to bug her so maybe it’s not all bad.
My wife is the worst. She literally just throws the dirty diapers in the vicinity of the diaper genie because she doesn't want the smell to get out when she puts a fresh one in. So I do it. Every time. And I also have to be the one to empty the thing, because I'm the trash guy in our house.
If she, by chance, puts a diaper in the diaper genie, she somehow gets it to sit right up top without falling in the bag below, so that I get that nice surprise the next time I try to deposit one. Or she just lets it get ridiculously full so that nothing goes down and it stinks 100% of the time.
Of course, I also like to leave dishes in the sink, so we're both assholes.
The environment be damned...we use these for diapers/wipes and then put them into the diaper genie. Really don't have to deal with odor with double layer of bags.

We cloth diapered both my daughters until they were about 18 months old. There was no diaper service in our town at the time so we laundered everything at home and line dried them outside to minimize chemical build up. It worked really well and was not as gross as you'd expect. We did a lot of laundry, but the smells never built up.

We tried a diaper service with my son. Made it about a month. He HATES being wet, and the cloth diapers did not help that at all. Switched to disposables and it’s been the right choice for us.
In theory that distaste for the wet feeling encourages earlier/younger potty training. I have no data to back that up though. We stopped at 18 months because my older daughter started day care and they wouldn’t do the cloth diapers for us (not that I blame them) and for my younger daughter, 2 years later, my ex-wife moved out at about 18 months and I couldn’t handle all the laundry on my own.
Potty training will be what it will be. The months between now and then will be much more tolerable without him screaming bloody murder every half hour.
We’re putting the 3 year old in a bed for the first time tonight. Wish us luck.
so you're either still awake or it went ok
She stayed in bed the whole night - I'm shocked, really.
I'm sure she will be easily swayed by the #anecdotes of my e-friends!
