Should I be shot at dawn or hung in public??

[wobblyknicks]

My dd eats homemade food but its not always made from organic ingredients and I used to feed her jars. She wears disposable nappies and was bottle-fed from about 6 weeks. She watches telly, eats biscuits and has been introduced to the joys of chocolate.

Lock me up now!!!

There's no pleasing some people, WK. Harrumph!

ct - i hope its a certfied clean river, and hasn't EVER had even one drop of fertilizer, sewage, dead fish etc etc in it!!!

Coppertop, you have to click on the mooncup link, if only to guffaw at the fact that someone felt moved to write an ode to theirs!

I know - they involve camomile tea I believe. It goes into the "why the hell would anyone think thats a good idea" box for me.

I hope the chamomile tea is homemade too, alicat, and not the sort which comes in bleached teabags ...

OMG wwb - have just read the ode and have to say - am am SO glad to be a Philistine rather than someone who'd get lyrical about their choice of sanitary product!!!!

Altogether now:

Oh lovely Lilet
I bet
You don't rush
To be flush
-Ed away

poetic I aint

If the ode was written by an MN'er do I have to wear thumbscrews while being hung??

alicats - that was brill!!!!

PMSL Alicat! (into my nice bleached Tena of course)

Due to the revelations produced now, we will all be ritually stoned before any other punishment is given - ok??

the whole mooncup thing is making me feel slightly sick!!

An ode to my sanitary towel

I love the way you lay across my knickers,
So soft, so gentle, so dry.
How did I live my life before you?
Why ever did I try?

ds has eaten a grape in the supermarket - does that mean I am going to be shot too?

ct - got to love you, even if that has earned you 50 extra lashes!!!

joanneg - no you get put in a sack and beaten for that heinous crime!!!

I think public flogging would be a nice touch. Almost missed a rather important "l" there and that would have been a whole different topic of conversation.

Well if I'm going to be whipped anyway I might as well confess to letting ds2 roam around the house until he falls asleep at 11pm.

Ditto for most of this - aren't we awful! but our babes all seem none the worse. I think we all start out with such worthy intentions then the reality of it all hits home and sometimes 'anything for a quiet life' kicks in!!!!
My dd was bottle fed and still has her evening and morning milk in a bottle at 2.9. Can use a cup perfectly well for water/juice. We have only recently persuaded her that she really doesn't need her dummy anymore, which she has accepted quite readily fortuantely.
I did use Cottom Bottoms nappies until she was 8 months, then I went back to work p/t and she went to nursery and it just got too messy etc.
I used to make her food and tried to use organic (it's relatively easy when they are still on mushy stuff) and she refused to eat savory stuff from a jar anyway! She now eats fish fingers, Billy Bear ham, chicken nuggets and chips with the best of them but I do try to combine this with homemade stuff and she does love her fruit and veg & dairy.
She also watches TV and Kipper and Winnie the Pooh on DVD (she also loves Nimo and Ice Age!!)
Thinking of getting the 'Bad Mothers Handbook' by Kate Long - anyone read it?

Ok, have to go now (to change dd's Pampers and go shopping for non-organic veg) so to put a final nail in my coffin, I will make a Jerry-Springer-esque observation;

Isn't it 'odd' that this heathen thread has been full of light-hearted banter and fun while the threads from the people supposedly doing everything right have been full of bitching, slanging and 'negative vibes'?

Makes you wonder............

Stuff the environment - I'll stick to lilets thanks! What's the point of living in the 21st century?!

I'll be next to you wk because I:

Bottle feed
Use disposables
Use dummies
Feed my kids smiley faces and fish fingers (WITH ketchup )
Let them eat chocolate buttons (AND smarties )
Let them cry to sleep sometimes
Let them drink fruitshoots (only on special occasions though )
Let them have the TV on while they are eating breakfast

BUT, mine aren't in daycare - do I get a reprive?!?!?

But would witch-burning be good for the environment? Surely it makes far more ecological sense to bury you alive WK and at least let you be re-used as fertiliser/compost?

wk - totally agree! Now go before you are outcast!

Nikkichick - that books sounds good!!
