people at your baby group are barking mad

the average 2 year old will eat approximately 11 tablespoons of food a day and only one meal in every 48 hour period .. and that's averaged across a week

please tell them to f' off .. they are blatantly insane that is an awful lot of food for a 6 month old who will still be getting most of nutrition from her milk

[angie0201]

thank you both why does it all have to be a contest with some people just feel like crying at the mo

angie - dont get upset by these stupid people. giraffski and twig are right - ignore them (i know its hard) but just look at your baby and know you know best

if you dont like the baby group then stay away - you need others round you who are supportive - are there other baby groups nearby?

[angie0201]

yeah i think so, why cant some people be supportive instead of competitive like mums net

[nailpolish]

angie, they are probably lacking confidence and need to boss other people about to make themselves feel better. i bet if you were a fly on the wall in their house it would not be all roses.

i went to a toddlers group just like the one you describe and i ended up leaving.

try and find another group, maybe your hv would know of some

[angie0201]

yeah i will do thanks seem to hear the same from a lot of people about groups like this

[nailpolish]

angie is there anyone there that you do get on with, and who is like-minded?

if so, and you want to meet up for some company during the day, why not ask them round for a morning or afternoon?

[angie0201]

yeah there are a few, thanks for the advice will def look into some more groups, am going to watch big bruv now to cheer me up!! sad i know!

[nailpolish]

yeah me too, good luck
