Family Stratification Chart

"The relationship in each box is what that person's relationship would be to you, where you are "Self." As you can see, you, your siblings, your 1st cousins, 2nd cousins, etc., are all in the same generation. Thus, "once removed" means "one generation removed.""
- April Buchheit
Great chart. Thanks for sharing. I now know that my cousins kids are 1st cousin once removed to me, and 2nd cousins to Spencer.
- Robert Felty
I've always thought that children of my cousins would be nephews / nieces of some kind. Thanks for clarifying.

Paul, the parent of your Nth cousin is the (N-1)th cousin of your parent. Go in the child direction and it doesn't work that way.

Thanks! The surprise to me is that I knew my dad's cousin was my cousin once removed but I didn't know my cousin's children are cousins once removed as well. Sorta makes me wish for the Scandinavian names which are very precise: Mormor is your maternal grandmother. Farmor is your paternal grandmother. I wonder if their cousin words are as precise...

"From the day the founding Fathers risked their liberty and life by signing the Declaration of Independence, there has been those who have wanted to sink this great ship called the United States of America. Well 143 years later the good ship America took a torpedo hit that at the time seemed like just another glancing blow. What many still consider the greatest step forward in equality for the sexes, was more then just a glancing blow however. It was in fact a deadly strike that entered the very heart of the ship and has been smoldering since. The damage caused by the 19th amendment was slow in its destruction, but after almost 100 years we can now see how complete the destruction really was."

"The result of the 19th amendment has been the ascension to power by the same kind of Marxists Ronald Reagen defeated from the Soviet Union.

His entire premise seems to be that men create bad laws to appease women voters. Obviously things started going downhill when they stopped restricting the vote to wealthy landowners. Prior to that men voted for what was in the best interest of the people. Now everybody just votes in their own self-interest.

Cloth vs. Disposable Diapers - http://www.thenewparentsguide.com/diapers...
Paul Buchheit, April Buchheit, Lola Bean (Penguin) and 4 other people liked this
Looking for perspective on this argument from parents who have recent experience with diaper changing.
- Maggie
I say disposable and Rob says cloth, but we will get back to you when we have some experience with an actual baby.
- Clare Dibble
I've heard that you get more leaks with cloth - but babies with cloth diapers are more likely to be potty trained earlier.
- Maggie
I think parents just get sick of dealing with cloth diapers, so they make their kids learn to use a toilet.
- Clare Dibble
Gabe is pushing cloth - his argument is that he doesn't want to have to carry out a trash bag of stinky disposable diapers once a week. My thought on that is: don't we still have to take a bag of diapers out for the diaper service once a week? What's the difference?
- Maggie
Cloth has gotten a lot better in the last 30 years. But commiting to a service is very all or nothing. Is your kid going to be in daycare at all? Because if she is, many do not accept cloth diapers.
- Clare Dibble
Trash has to be carried 50 feet down a steep hill for the garbage man to pick up. I'm assuming that since the diaper man will have to bring fresh diapers, he will deliver them to my front porch, then take the dirty diapers with him -- much like the UPS man.
- Gabe
@Gary - Clare and I prefer the Diaper Champ - it takes regular garbage bags, instead of super expensive inserts, and it features one-handed operation. We'll probably get one for either disposable or cloth. My plan with cloth is to wash them myself though, since we have a nice, super-efficient, steam-cleaning washer (and I'm cheap) http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Tr...
- Robert Felty
If we were to go with cloth - I would rather buy the ones by 'Bum Genius' than use the diaper service ones that are the exact same type my parents used for me. Gone is the need for plastic pants. http://www.amazon.com/bumGeni...
- Maggie
It looks like the advantage of the Diaper Genie is that the bag has special odor-absorbant properties.
- Gabe
I have a Diaper Champ and have used it for a little while with Camilla and never with Thomas. I, too, saw the advantage of the Diaper Champ needing only garbage bags versus the Diaper Genie which requires special Diaper Genie bags, but after a little while, the Diaper Champ got very stinky and required frequent cleaning. What I do now is just toss the diapers in a brown paper bag in the garage and take it out with the trash at the end of the week. As for our Diaper Champ, it's sitting in the garage unused.
- April Buchheit
As for my two cents on cloth vs. disposable. Personally, I'm intimidated by cloth especially in having to deal with fecal matter. I figured with the resources being used up in either hand-washing (using lots of water and detergent) or a diaper service where someone is using fossil fuels to drive a vehicle to pick up dirty diapers and deliver clean ones is comparable to using disposable.
- April Buchheit
I feel less guilty using seemingly Earth-friendly disposables such Seventh Generation.
- April Buchheit
Diaper Genie inserts last for weeks. Odors are contained well.
- Bruce Lewis
April: The disposable diapers have to be delivered to you (possibly by the UPS truck or your minivan) and taken away (by the garbage man). The diaper service picks up and drops off at the same time, so it shouldn't be using more fossil fuels.
- Gabe
Gabe, the garbage man and minivan were coming to our house anyway, so the addition of some diapers is negligible. Disposables are definitely the way to go, especially if you ever plan to leave the house. (do you really want to take dirty diapers home with you?)
- Paul Buchheit
cloth diapers last longer, they are re-usable - even after you don't need them as diapers. you can wash & driy them yourself using enviro-friendly means. they cost less than disposables. they feel better, are less likely to cause rashes when properly changed.
- MikeAmundsen
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol... no need to feel guilty about disposables according to this study...
- Trish Haley
Paul, I think this is a trivial argument. It's not like diaper service truck is going to make a special trip just for you any more than a UPS truck would if you ordered disposables online. And I would expect that any time the baby goes outside the house, she would be in disposable diapers.
- Gabe
Clare read in the book "Rubbish: the archeology of garbage" that, unlike popular belief, diapers make up less than 5% of landfill volume. However, I still like the idea of reusing. If you have multiple kids, it would be possible to reuse the same diapers with all of them. But it really only makes sense if one person is staying home with the kid, and you need some disposables for when out and about.
- Robert Felty
I should point out that my reasons aren't environmental. I just want diapers to automatically show up and dirty ones carted away without me having to do anything. Because I'm lazy like that.
- Gabe
I realize this is an old post, but you might also want to ask over in the parenting room. It's pretty active! http://friendfeed.com/rooms...

We are using gdiapers, which are kind of a hybrid. They have a cloth outer part, an inner plastic liner, and then a disposable paper liner. The paper liner is flushable and compostable. So far I am pretty happy with them. http://gdiapers.com
- Robert Felty
We've used both - First child: cloth for about 1 year except when traveling, followed by disposables. Second child: disposables. With cloth, you certainly become more aware of how often a baby should be changed whereas many disposable parents get lazy. But in the end, disposables let your baby sleep through the night earlier, fit better underneath clothes, are easier for babysitters, are less likely to "blow out" and are a hell of a lot more convenient.
- Chad Lester
I've used gdiapers as well, but there was still the matter of handling the soiled washable lining.
- April Buchheit
April -- great. You will have no problem changing Spencer's diaper when you come to visit then ;)

We do cloth but have a diaper service. I love it. So much better than disposables.
