"giving up" on cloth diapers

I have used cloth diapers on my daughter for her first 18 months of life. I used disposables at night and when we left the house, but during the day at home she would be in cloth. I have tried to use them on both my 18 month old and my newborn since he was born. It has been hard.  I liked doing the right thing fo rthe environment. I already have so much laundry. The diapers were having to be washed every day. Then the fuzzibunz I had raved about to anyone that would listen started to repel the pee. My husband and I were getting peed on every day. Apparently the soap I used to wash the diapers in (Kirkland free and clear) was leaving something on the diapers.

So like a lot of things in my life, I give up. The past 5 days have been all disposables and I am a little less stressed. I hate to say I "give up." Because I feel like I have given up on everything. High School. Jobs. But if it makes life a little easier and I am a little less stressed out, it is totally worth it.
