Oh, hey, I have another idea-why don’t you grow the Hell up and consider what might be best for the BABY, instead of dressing him up in your juvenile escapist costumery?
My husband decided to start playing a fuckton of WoW right after our first was born. I would have gladly paid $20 for our infant to literally poop on that particular hobby. (Do what you like, but don’t ever tell a woman who just had your baby that you can’t help with said baby cause “This isn’t a good time…” and that time is being spent in game. She will seriously considering smashing your shiny new laptop into tiny, tiny bits.)
He will now suggest he start playing just to get me…
Poor kid will probably be more grateful to have the naked bathtub pictures shown to his first girlfriend than the one-size diaper that he wore his entire infancy.
#11 One Size Pocket Diaper. Not really scary, I promise. It has snaps n stuff that grow so that it can be used on little tiny baby and on a much larger baby later.
Hi, I’m Marcy, and I use cloth diapers on my babies. *bathes in the warm glow of your derision*
Blech. I mean as per the Team Edward onesy the baby doesn’t give a fig about your favourite pop culture phenomenon. I love Sherlock Holmes, but I don’t give me-oriented baby gifts. Although I would love a baby monocle and pipe set, I would never Holmes-up a baby.
why does it seem like the icky people breed so much? more non-ickies have some offspring please, to even it out. Marcy? You seem smart. You have some more, k? thanks.
(no derision for Marcy’s cloth diapers here, unless they have logos of nerdy suck on them)
That’s hilarious. I mean, my husband and I actually met on the World of Warcraft (we have both quit), but we’ve never even though about having something like that made.
You know, it’s nice to see a family trying to make sure every member is participating in a particular activity or hobby. But when the only contribution one family member can make is brown and stinky and produced in large quantities with little to no warning on its costume for said activity, you might consider trying to find something else you can all do together. Like peek-a-boo. Or taking a walk. (Heaven forbid WOWers get some — gasp! — fresh air!)
Awe come on; everybody knows that World of Warcraft diapers are only available in adult sizes. They’re for the serious gamer who can’t afford to leave a raid.
I effing love that a) I actually played WoW until I realized WoW + toddler = momFAIL
b) Their deadline is my Dirty Thirty birthday
and c) I am seriously considering switching to cloth to move along the potty training process along faster.
It’s like this request was made for me!!
(p.s. I would never brand my child with WoW. It pains me that the only choice we have is Ernie, Mickey, Elmo, or Big Bird as it is).
Being an off-and-on WoW player, this made me laugh. Diapers, really? My toddler would probably love to wear a WoW shirt or something (as long as it had a dragon or some cool beast on it), but.. I would have never put him in a diaper with the World of Warcraft logo (certainly not Alliance! ;P).
Though, maybe these people should contact Blizzard.. they might go for it.
Hmm. I got stuck with a plain white nappy as a little one. Clearly I was fashionably and pop culturally neglected by my Atari playing parents. I feel deprived
As a former gamer (I now am 36 ,have two kids, and a life), I understand the satisfaction of completing missions, saving the princess, getting the NFL MVP, and saving the world from global terrorists just like any other video gamer.
But then there is the line we call reality and life. Let the poor baby be a baby and focus more on the real babies needs.
Besides…
When are they gonna be able to play WOW when they have to get up every two hours to feed the baby?
A pocket diaper is a diaper that has a waterproof outer layer and a pocket (no, really) thar can be stuffed with inserts. This way, you don’t need a cover so you can let your spawn run around freely with your geekiness stamped on its ass. Great for picture-taking.
Yes, I cloth diaper, and this is just the tip of the crazy in that world.
Hey! My daughter and her husband are big superhero fans(they named their son Kal-El)and they use cloth diapers so I made some with superhero fabric… Oh my. I’ve said too much.
No, really, they work well, save money, save trash and it’s really not a big deal. I doubt the child will need therapy. For the curious, the diapers look like this:
And Jackie, $20 is the going rate for fitteds, pockets, AIO’s, etc. Believe me, if I could sew, I’d be fleecing the semi-crunchy hipster moms of America.
Come to think of it… I’ve been saving some bucks to buy Regresty fabric to make some of my tote bags…maybe I need to add Regretsy diaper covers to the inventory…
When your choices are brown/blue dinos and trucks or pink hearts and flowers, it *is* tempting to just go with your own interests when outfitting the infants. After all, like everyone said, they don’t notice, and we’re the ones who are looking at them all the time. Maybe I’ll commission some training pants illustrating everything I gave up when I became a mom–anybody want to design me some fabric picturing a great big chunk of my brain, stylish home furnishings, and nights out on the town?
Mickey, Is your son-in-law named Jar-El? I divorced someone that threatened to name a (possible future and thankfully never conceived) son “Attila Genghis Alexander” And then my new husband and I went and picked Ari-El for my daughter from the baby name book, because it’s Hebrew for “Lion of God” and also a Shakespeare character, completely forgetting about the frickin’ Little Mermaid.
well, I suppose playing WoW is better than what the parents of my step-grandchild do for “entertainment,” which is go out on the weekends and get shitfaced drunk.
It strikes me as strange that they only want ONE of these diapers. I mean… parents out there, how long does any one diaper stay on the kid? One specialty diaper therefore becomes a “special occasion” diaper, which is ridiculous enough in itself without stamping baby with WOW. Has anyone told these people that the diaper needs to be washed, not pooper-scooped? It’s like buying a single cloth menstrual pad.
If my parents were to request a diaper cover (as I, and my 9 siblings were all cloth diapered, bless my parents heart), it would be for the game Pong.
I would thoroughly enjoy seeing an old picture of me in nothing but a Pong diaper cover.
I was pre-video games of any kind (gawd am I old). Mine would probably had a martini and a cigarette. Seriously, there’s a pic of my mom in a club drinking and smoking when she was pregnant with me.
Guess that explains a lot.
#62 LOVE IT!! MamaMouse (#60): I think the idea is awesome but really, if you’re gonna spend $20 on your baby, maybe go for something that benefits your baby a bit more than the “hit MMORPG at the turn of the millenium” As someone else pointed out, even showing people pics of that later would be embarassing…
Then there is the whole idea WoW generates: that basically it’s impossible to do well in that game and NOT be neglecting your kid.
Seriously, Marcy? Coolness! My current favorites are “Atomic Elephant” and the creamsicle…whatsis. But since I haven’t actually purchased anything yet—what do you like? We can talk about it here:
I actually bought a WoW diaper for our son, I paid about $20 with shipping. I got it as a gag so our son could crawl around in it when my husband’s friends were over, they all play and thought it was cool.
Even a plain cloth diaper can cost that much, but when you consider how many uses you get out of it, it’s actually very reasonable.
Seriously, what’s the harm in it? I also bought some diapers with cute prints just because I like them. Is that any more wrong???

March 11, 2010 at 8:19 pm
of course her son is at university.
March 11, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Usually gamers take offense when people shit on WOW.
This poor kid’s got a lifetime of humiliating costuming to look forward to.
March 11, 2010 at 8:22 pm
This is just to make sure he doesn’t have sex when he’s a teenager.
Or ever.

March 11, 2010 at 8:23 pm

March 11, 2010 at 8:29 pm
yeah seriously i’m amazed that they can pull themselves away to wash cloth diapers…
March 11, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Can someone tell me what the hell an “OS pocket” might be? I have ideas in my brain and, frankly, they worry me.
March 11, 2010 at 8:34 pm
I smell a family alchemy affair potential here, warcrap whatever menstrual pads for mama and a big black poopy diaper for papa.

am i the only one who thinks this is awesome? then again, my daughter had a starwars cloth diaper
