Just have to share...

I was invited to a shower over the weekend for a distant family friend. I was running to Target the day of and had remembered that there was something about bringing a pack of diapers for 'diaper raffle'. Not that I had any interest in being entered in a diaper raffle, but I figured I would pick up a small pack of diapers. I opted for Huggies because that was our preferred brand and I appreciated having different brands to try after our shower (where there was no diaper raffle, but some guests brought diapers).

I got to the party then walked in only to see a huge stack of Pampers. I double checked the invitation and they actually specified "PAMPERS ONLY" on the invite. I asked a close friend who was hosting the shower why she asked for only Pampers (family history of an allergy or something maybe?) and her reply was "She only wanted the most expensive diapers, not the cheap brands".

Oh dear.

Oh good lord!  I though we'd prefer pampers, too, but was so glad several of my friends purchased diapers from different brands for me, because once we were past the itty bitty sizes, huggies worked a lot better for us, and are nice and cheap at Costco!

Haha, this thought secretly crossed my mind as well :-) Well, maybe not allergic, but I certainly hope they leak like crazy.

Wow. Although, I am pretty sure the Pampers aren't the most expensive, she should do her homework Wink

That's crazy!  IMO, any diaper that you do not have to buy yourself is a good diaper!

Yes, he's mine. Yes, he's aware I'm a horrible mother. Yes, I plan on teaching him to act just like me.
No, CPS hasn't come to rescue him yet.
Yes, I'll make sure to let him know how sorry you feel for him.

So when I received the invites to the shower my MIL is hosting for me the one I declined bc i am NOT a first time mom and invites went out anyhow.. and she definitely included a diaper raffle after I said I didn't want one....AND definitely included that I only wanted pampers...because some random comment I made months ago about how I happened to only use Pampers before...

Maybe your friend just has a shitty host, and you were just misinformed. I am hoping people don't side eye me bc my host is an idiot.

Haha.  If she wanted expensive, she should have asked for some type of organic, biodegradable, hypoallergenic diaper.

This is EXACTLY what I thought, after the fact of course (you know, in the car, while I was shaking my head at the shenanigans I had just witnessed).

I personally prefer pampers, but I thought that pampers and huggies cost the same. I would have actually gone for the cheaper one. LOL. Maybe the host is a fool and it is not the MTB making that obnoxious statement.

Haha I can't stand Pampers. I was so glad when I got through the ones I got from my baby shower.

Wow some people. The diaper raffle is still new to me only been to few showers that requested this. This makes me grateful that I am cloth diapering. I would be shaking my head after this experience to. The fact that one of the guests told you it was because it was the most expensive to me would mean the majority of people are thinking the same thing. Sorry MTB I would think the same.

I could see Pampers for the line down the center, but only the best = most expensive?

 Although I do hear the cheap brands leak more often.
