The Green Parent

It was all about recycling your midwife and making friends with a tree and how to effortlessly squish out the ultimate eco warrior baby dressed in poo catching sacks, saving whales from atomic bombs.

BLUERRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!

Who even reads this shit?

I used to live next door to these types. They buried the placenta and did a 'ceremony' Hmm

Meh.

I got a lot of back issues of "Mothering" magazine (I think that's what it was called) from my friend who owns a book shop. Some of the stuff I thought was really interesting, and some of the articles had me snorting and rolling my eyes. (It was made for the same type of audience you're describing.)

Horses for courses and all. :)

Thread title made me giggle, I love Drop Dead Fred!

It had a woman in it with a big sling that she'd managed to fit two newborns in.

Yeah, that'last!!

It's a magazine for total and utter GIRLS

You come out and admit it octopus! :o

Was it when you were still pregnant? All is forgiven if you were pregnant. I had some big ideas then too.

Oh please give us a link.

INeedAHipHoperation · 06/10/2011 20:06

I can't do links on my phone. Besides, my eyes still hurt.

Ugh! I've got a sling, and use it but stuffing two newborns in it? Piss off!

I get nods from these mums in the street. One of the gang right, with my sling? No, I just really, really, really like escalators!!

Placenta's are two-faced bastards. They don't deserve a ceremony.

YANBU.

Before MN I can't say I ever thought about Alex James. Now I think of him fairly frequently because he seems to be mentioned on lots of threads, and always give him his full MN title - The Cheese Wanker Alex James.

He might as well just add it to his name by deed poll now.

INeedAHipHoperation · 06/10/2011 20:18

You know it's a good Thursday when someone promises you they've never eaten placenta :o

I always imagine these mums smoking hookah pipes and wearing a dozen brightly coloured skirts. I bet they grow their own vegetables and call them 'the fruits of the earth'. What smug dinnertimes they must have!
