Respect for the Warriors of the Past
Looking back, my mom survived a parenting era that would break most people. She handled things that today would send parents running.
The best part? My friend Sara—longtime skeptic—decided to try cloth diapers herself.
Two weeks later, she called me in tears:
“WHY DID NO ONE WARN ME ABOUT THE RINSING?! THE RINSING!!”
All I could say was:
“Welcome to the trenches, soldier.”
