but I am sure underneath they are normal diapers with chemicals.

People bought us tons of stuff I don't want for my shower -- plastics, polyesters, fisher price cr*p. Some I can return and some I can't. I also got a lot of hand me down junk from friends and family. I don't need to use it, but the pressure is there to use this "cute, adorable" toxic baby stuff! My husband wants to use it all too and does not believe my concern about toxins. [/quote]

1. Based on the way you are writing about "chemicals" and "toxins," you CLEARLY have no idea of how the science of this stuff actually works. You, like the rest of these moms who think they are performing some sort of miracle work for their child by purchasing everything "organic," are having knee-jerk reactions to bad, incomplete scientific data. Do you really think that in the United States, the land of the most extensive baby-product regulations in the world, companies are surreptitiously filling your home with products that are going to give your child cancer?

2. Not to be crass, but you are coming across like such an ungrateful bitch. HOW DARE those friends and family BUY you Fisher Price products!!!! Obviously they are trying to poison your child and cause him or her to develop some freakish malformation or rare disease.

3. The fact that your child is going to be in daycare full time and you are still going on this crusade to eradicate TOXINS TOXINS CHEMICALS CHEMICALS OMG OMG OMG from your home makes you that much more ludicrous.

4. Your husband is a saint, and you should thank your lucky stars that he is willing to put up with your neurotic bullshit. I can tell just by your few posts too that you probably get all high-and-mighty and self-righteous with him about this subject too, since you are clearly the parent who is more concerned about your child's health and well-being and just doesn't give a shit because he's okay with using Satan's, I mean Fisher Price, products.

5. I'm only being this harsh because you have done nothing with this thread but attract the other neurotic moms who are just enabling you and letting you justify your paranoia. Your feelings about this are irrational, idiotic, and outlandish. You are not a better mom because you are doing this. You are just pissing off your husband, because I'm sure he gets an earful about this all the time. And you are pissing off your unborn baby, because he can already tell that you are going to make his life miserable with your unfounded neuroses that you will undoubtedly impose upon him. I guess it won't matter though, since you and the other organic moms and their toxin-free children are going to be the only ones left after the rest of us and our children perish from our exposure.
