Hi Mums,

I am looking for a playmate for our 16 months old Isabella. We practice gentle parenting, so ideally would like to meet with families with similar parenting style.

We live in Tooting bec in a house with a huge garden and very close to the common.

Isabella is at the stage where she is interested in interacting with other babies and likes to immitate other babies action. I think a playmate that can meet up twice a week will be quite beneficial for both babies

please reply to the message if you are interested to meet up.

I remember this thread.
I actually reported some of her racist remarks.

Weirdo

She wants to find a playmate where the babies can visit each other unannounced and without going through the mothers diaries. hmm

I'm not surprised she is getting the cold shoulder, who wants a friend like that?

I've just read it and I accept that they have different opinions to me. I am shock at her and feel sorry for Isabella.

I HAVE to look at the link although I don't want to.

If you look at her posting on the other site, she eventually seems to have a few issues with her own child-rearing philosophy and and hires an au-pair to help her, in spite of her extremely rude comments on this thread about childcare professionals. So hopefully she's a little less offensive now as far as that goes. One would hope so, anyway.

What I find interesting is that even most of those on that site thought she was OTT in her MN posting...

Who remembers this thread? Looks like the OP was not a troll. I've just been hunting for something else and stumbled across this

A fascinating insight into how some people parent. I don't think I'll be posting on there I'd be laughed off the board grin

I hope for her DCs sake that a play mate was found.

I suppose the OP never found a suitable playmate.

'I think a lot of mums here are angry and depressed, you are happy to channel your frustration onto someone other than your baby. Good for you!'
Erm does this mean we should channel our 'frustration' on to our babies? Is that what you do? Good for you!

Whoever suggested the Steiner school was spot on - go and mix with the rest of the smug loons - you'll soon be desperate for the 'aggressive, stressed out' environs of the playgroups once you get a taste of someone else's superiority complex.
