At first, I have to say that the worst nightmare of my hubby I "try" to instructed him "on the many chores that I deemed required to make our house presentable to visitors.". I happens almost 1 time at week and every time he said me that it's not necessary, but, sure, it's necessary!!! :P
About the re-usable nappies I can say that when my daughter was born (abou 30 years ago ^_^) my mom said me: "You're so lucky!!!! Now ther are the faboulous nappies that you can use and put away, without clean them!". When my mom was a young mom and I was a little one she had to clean all my nappies (argh!!!) and she remember that "activity" as one of the worst activity in her life :D
