Never in a million years thought I would be in it: I'm not a prolific poster and my kids are quite young, so I'm not often dispensing advice on here, more often asking for it. But of course thought it would be fun if I was. But NO.
Of all the things that I'm quoted on, it's making my dh sound like a bad parent in a parenting book!
I somewhat criticised his parenting style on here 3 years ago, never dreaming it would appear in a book. (Yes, yes I know it's a public site, mumsnet owns the rights to our ramblings...).
So, for the record, DH is a wonderful parent and the best dad in the world. He is a fully hands-on Dad, has tons and tons more patience than me, plays with them way more than me and hardly ever shouts at them, unlike me.
We had some disagreements in the early days, when we were just starting to have to lay down some rules with dd1, and I think he just hadn't thought about how we should approach it, but in fact as he says, it is me that shouts at them more, even though in some ways he's a more traditional disciplinarian. We have 2 dds now, and things have changed so much since I wrote that post. He is 100% the best father I know.
There. Now put that in your next book please!
