Disposable diapers are the biggest expense. Here's what we did: we knew our babies' BM timing, in which case we'd spring for disposable; otherwise, we'd use cloth and just rinse them out in the sink. Cut diaper costs by 80%.
A heartwarming story. The nursery school we send our kids to require we supply enough disposable diapers to last as long as needs be. The vast majority of parents do not have the time or energy required to time the bowel movements of their kids.

What's the point of angry retribution? What does that do but sooth people's desire for vengeance?
Do you have kids? This freak murdered their own child, the worst crime a human can commit.

I want to know how relatives, friends and healthcare professionals, not to mention the biological fathers, could all be oblivious to the killer's mental state and obvious need for support.
Probably too busy messing about on their iphones, and pretending they have overtime.

If China cuts its military spending, it could save its poor flooded population, but the Communist government will never do that.

Young generations will never know James Brown, Billie Holiday, John Lee Hooker and more. Great blues and funk music legacy destroyed because of rap and hiphop dominating the spotlight. And people are afraid to say so and criticize because of what they will be called if they do.
Makes perfect sense. Everyone totally forgot about Mozart and Tchaikovsky too when Jazz was invented.

The BOJ have no control over inflation. Neither does the FED for that matter. Its all about fuel prices, and guess who dictates those.
For the vast majority there have been zero pay increases let alone sharp ones. The BOJ are living in a dream world if they think the average Japanese family can keep up with the current rate of inflation.
