It is with great regret that we have to ask members to refrain from any further discussion of Gina Ford, her methods or her books on the site. To find out why click here. We'd be very grateful if members could report any mentions of Gina Ford using the "contact Mumsnet" facility (the little red exclamation mark to the right of each posting). Many thanks. MNHQ. "

Never seen it before.

You can listen online at www.lbc.co.uk - going out now.

A wonder how many parents are getting utterly pissed off with this across the websites and talking about it to their friends? Do 'they' think that's a wise move?!

Listen to LBC at 11am...

I have actually always liked the books, but after reading this, well... I'd think twice about supporting her, whether through advertisement or purchase.

I think she should put free mumsnet ads in all her books to make up for the damage she has caused to the site.

Oh, I'm mad

I've tried not to say too much in this post, but if I have, MNHQ, feel free to delete the post.

hunker you are quicker than me.was just about to come and post about babyworld.

i know we have to be quiet but we can't just sit here and take this or she has completely won. we have to DO something
wish we had a helpless emotion.

well, I am just glad that some people choose to write parenting books instead of becoming politicians..... the mind boggles....

mummydear · 07/08/2006 10:31

Maybe a good story for some female journalists out there rather than writing about SAHM v Working Mum !!

At least MN is not alone if it is spreading to other sites. More heads togther maybe ...

Hunker, I cannot believe this, it looks like they intend to take on every parenting site out there!

I have said before I support MN and never more so than now, however, I think MNHQ are right the bigger issue needs looking into here. If this has spread to other parenting sites, who knows where or who will be next. The laws need to be addressed.

Maybe we can still leave book reveiws on amazon or somewhere, or just flood the internet with the news of what is happening, so that people googling for certain things would come across certain facts.

Fine work book reviews are, if Nobody has been shutting up all the negative comments there may be a huge dark side to what Nobody does.

hunkermunker · 07/08/2006 10:18

It's spreading...

gosh - a real bee in her bonnet. this is like a whining child saying ' muuuuum, she said i smell' only the mother is being paid to listen so instead of telling the child to be quiet and stop whining, she is running around the playground duffing up all the othr kids.

hope that analogy works!!!
