to find this slightly offensive?

Yes, it's from the BC article on 'how to meet other mum's'.
I just had a moment when I read this, though:

"I met a lot of my mum friends at a nappacino meeting. This is basically a monthly meeting that takes place in my local café for mums who use cloth nappies. We take our babies, grab a cup of coffee and a cake, and have a good chat. I know loads of towns are picking up on this idea, so it's worth looking out for if you're part of the cloth nappy brigade."

Er, so only 'nice' mummies use cloth nappies, then?

I doubt all they do is talk about cloth nappies.

What I do supect is that a larger majority of people who use cloth nappies are ont he lentil weavery end of the scale so probably overlap lifestyle in other areas too.

I'm not saying all cloth nappy users are hippies ok just a higher proportion I suspect

Aries said it better I'm just a slow typer

It doesn't sound any mor boring then men meeting up to discuss steam trains/stamps/home bewing techniques. It does sound boring to me but that's just my opinion. I'm sure it's a total hoot.

Now I'm imagining a cloth nappy meeting on one side of the coffee shop, with everyone bringing their own cups and eating hemp flapjacks, and a disposable nappy meeting on the other side of the coffee shop, with all the mums drinking soft drinks out of plastic bottles and not recycling them...

LOL at Sudocreme meeting.

Or how about a meeting for mums who use mooncups?

I'll pass on the gin bupcakes, but will join you with North and South if that's OK?

YABU to be offended, but it's not an event I'd be queuing up for. What an odd concept.

I used to attend Nappicinos regularly (can't now as they are held on a day I work now), and we regularly talked about other things than nappies, for example the lentil weaving industry in Mongolia, recipes for making vegan Haggis and bum sex.

I was a wicked Pampers-waving parent. I don't like coffee. The disposable brigade - well we should have met in a seedy pub, where we can talk about fish finger sandwiches, how many cigarettes we get through when breastfeeding - that sort of thing....

Of course I am being flippant. It doesn't really matter if people who have something in common want to meet up. I woudn't feel left out.

Punkatheart - that's exactly what I meant - and yes, slighty offensive was probably not quite the appropriate word, and yes, you're all right - it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things - it just seemed a little snotty - that women who use disposable nappies do all of the above. Although of course, we'd be shoving a bottle in the babies' mouth instead of breastfeeding.
With my 3rd and 4th dc's in nappies, and my fibromyagia already reappearing, there's no way I'd be unrealistic enough to go for cloth, but it doesn't mean I'm not a bit of a lentil weaver. Also apparently rather hormonal at the moment too. And fixated with inane groups.
Maybe I need to meet some other mums people!
