Went shopping yesteerday.ds1. Jas a blu badge so we parked in a disabled space.went to shops and back to car couple of hours later. We have 4 dcs and the baby 7 mths started screaming and was hungry.by then the car park was packd. I started to feed ds while dh got other dcs in car and an elderly couple drove past and politely asked if we were leaving, dh said sorry not yet then 2 other drivers did the same but the fourth stopped got out and said please could we hurry up, I explained that when I had fed ds we would be going but she was really angry and said a disabled space is not just for sitting in that we should go immediately. I was only another ten mins fding ds it is hard enough going out as all dcs have same condition and ds2 was really screaming I had to feed him as it was a long drive home. Was I being unreasonable?

I would like a little newborn... :)

You are right, Sabrina. Can I have a hot toddy instead?

Actually, afro, the hot toddy might work for you too. Many decades ago, my grandad took a hot-toddy-bran-mash out to his pet donkey in her snow-encrusted stable. The next morning there was a surprise newborn donkey foal waiting to say hello. Grin

I have a car! I expressed for ds (stupid tongue tie) and still have a pump. Ds is 19 months and barely let's me hug him now!

I want a newborn too!

Ooh, and I've just accidentally discovered the Bookmark feature on MN. It's a revelation.

Ok I have time for a couple of posts before collecting DS#1 from school. Nolittle, if you look back you will notice I didn't say anything about your grammar until you corrected someone else. Frankly so long as a post is readable it doesn't bother me, so long as noone is being a pot to a kettle.

You may be the most respected authority in your field, but you can't expect anyone on here to know so based on you saying so. I could say on here that I am the world expert on this (I'm not) but I wouldn't expect anyone to believe me without supporting evidence. Even if you are her academic superior, she didn't ask for a critique or any advice and the advice you gave (if requested) would be more effective if it were less crass.

Belly dancing!! He he, now I may have to try that for a giggle!

Thanks Ariane and i'm glad your mind is now at ease, sock did an excellent job there..all credit.

Ryle, I am a carer for my mum who has.a BB, when we go out shopping next it may just happen Xmas Wink

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 04/12/2012 22:36

Aw baby donkey! There is a baby donkey at the model farm near us! So cute! And most definitely a boy! :o

AndABigBirdInaPearTree · 04/12/2012 22:37

What is a pombear?

Oh good luck Afro, hope you have an easy birth with your LO.

NolittleBuddahsorTigerMomshere · 04/12/2012 22:38

I find your atritudes towards my quallifications, pretty distgusting and disgracefull to be honest. How can I explllain and reference realllly, realllly complex academic JP arguements in this setting if you don't kknow the subject, I have told you to look at the more accessiblle DR publications to help to illustrate the arguements in an accessible way. TBH I thinkk Offered was much more patronising and disrespectfull of me, than I was to her, as I have not belittled her achievements, as she has mine. When I was starting out I took any offers of advice graciously in the spirit of assistance they were made in, shame offered couldn't do the same really. Sad Lastly, as I work alone, how could I show you my papers without 'outing; myself? I shouldn't have to if I don't want to. I discussed the material with you as best as I was able withbout doing so.

There was a Pombear thread bird!

Offred · 04/12/2012 22:39

They are crisps... In the shape of bears...

GlaikitFizzogTheChristmasElf · 04/12/2012 22:39

Ooh is it windy anywhere else?? It's a howling gale here!

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 04/12/2012 22:39

I have a car full of children, but no newborns left. They're all at school now Xmas Sad

And I loved bf, and frequently bf in the car after a shopping trip.

Lalalala [fingers in ears

GlaikitFizzogTheChristmasElf · 04/12/2012 22:40

Actual pombears

AndABigBirdInaPearTree · 04/12/2012 22:40

I don't expect you to out yourself Nolittle. I have things about myself that I have not posted. However, I wouldn't expect people to respect me for things they know nothing about. That is patently silly.
