Describe the first Christmas on which you rememberyour brother receiving diapers. Include details such as the kinds of diapers they were, when he first wore them, who saw him wearing them, who diapered him, etc.:

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
sarah		matthew pare	17	i was real young and remember askikng my mom when my brother was going to wear big boy underwear
Erin	14	Jeff	12	I think he was 7. He was really late to daytime potty-train (like 5 or6) and still wet the bed virtually every night when he was 7. Mom was getting really tired of him wetting the bed so she decided to put him back in diapers at night. I don't know why she decided to buy him diapers as a present but it was funny that she did. They were Huggies and the look on his face when he opened them up was priceless. He first wore them later that night ( only after mom made him wear them) and my little sister and I saw him wearing them. I remember the next morning when he wouldn't come out to open up the rest of his gifts because he had soaked his diaper and didn't want anyone to see that his diaper was wet.

Describe the most notable subsequent Christmases on which you remember your brother receiving diapers:

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
Erin	14	Jeff	12	They're all the same; he gets a box of Huggies every year. The best Christmases are when we have the extended family over and the entire family gets to see him open up his box of baby diapers.

How did your brother react to you receiving diapers as a Christmas gift for the first time? How did he react on subsequent Christmases when he received diapers?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
sarah		matthew pare	17	he gets embrassed
Erin	14	Jeff	12	The first time he got diapers, he was shocked I think. Now, you can tell he hates the fact that he gets diapers as a gift every year but it's his own fault - if he could use the toilet like every one else his age, he wouldn't get baby diapers as a Christmas gift.

How did your other brothers react to your brother receiving diapers as a Christmas gift for the first time? How did they react on subsequent Christmases when your brother received diapers?

How did you and your other sisters react to your brother receiving diapers as a Christmas gift for the first time? How did they react on subsequent Christmases when your brother received diapers?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
Erin	14	Jeff	12	We thought it was hilarious the first time and every time thereafter. I love to tease him and call him nicknames like "baby" or "diaperboy". I make sure to record every single Christmas Eve and christmas morning so I can watch the little baby in his diapers for years to come.

What did you think the diapers were going to be before your brother opened the package? How large/heavy was the wrapped package?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
Erin	14	Jeff	12	I had no idea.

What makes diapers received for Christmas different or special from diapers your brother gets at other times?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
Erin	14	Jeff	12	Just watching the little brat get a box of diapers designed for 2 year olds, not 12 year olds like he is.

How did getting diapers for Christmas affect your brother's feelings about Christmas altogether?

Sister Name	Age	Brother Name	Age	Answer
sarah		matthew pare	17	he dont want other family members there when he opens his presents
Erin	14	Jeff	12	I don't know but I do know that he hates to open up his gifts in front of others because he knows one of them is going to be a box of Huggies that will eventually be going around his waist.
