Don't throw Diaper Bags - Reuse it

Posted by Shrikant Sharma on October 31st, 2018

Last night, my daughter, Claudia, extracted an old diaper bag from the kitchen rubbish can where I’d discarded it. She’s a champion of reuse – she recently cut a toilet paper roll in half of and gave it to me as an “appropriate good fortune attraction.” She hoped to reclaim the bag for creative functions. Stained and battered through a decade’s harsh labour, the bag becomes no longer suit for crafting or maybe the charity bin. Claudia returned it to the trash; even she could see that’s in which it belonged.

The Diaper Bag long ago ceased to hold diapers, besides. Claudia is six years old and her sister, Fern, is nine. After the diaper generation, it remained in the carrier for spare undies (which you most straightforward need when you overlook them) and other necessaries. And snacks, regularly snacks! If I’ve found out one element as a full-time discern, it’s to have snacks available each time small youngsters are involved. But these days, we not often need extra equipment on our excursions. Usually, my daughters and I leave the house empty-handed.

If the girls require a water bottle or a spare jacket, they manage it themselves. And diaper bags suffer heavy duty. My modest bag contained more meals spills and vomit-soaked clothes than I can matter. A more youthful Fern appreciated to use it for a playground model of “Olympic hammer throw.” My leaky thermos flooded it with espresso twice, and once I ran over it with my vehicle.

So I must have chucked it a long time in the past, but the sentiment was given the better of me. You see, my spouse picked it out for me. She selected one of these olive-green, smallish satchels that at-domestic dads decide on. Presumably, we gravitate closer to a diaper bag that’s subtle enough to pass for a high-powered man purse, as though the spoiled milk aroma wouldn’t right away deliver it away. Nostalgia is a specific symptom of age. I felt real pangs some weeks in the past while a mom introduced her infant to the playground wherein my kids had been biking.
