to not understand why so many people are 'proud' of babies rolling over, crawling, walking etc?

[HiggsBoson]

Unimportant bollocks I know, but humor me :)

I have a 3yo DD. Lately I'm noticing more and more people on facebook and in general conversation going on about how very proud they are that "DS rolled over" or "DD crawled"

As for toileting

I've always felt that pride is an ugly thing and hand on heart I have never been proud of DD Crawling, walking or taking a shit. I mean, these are human bodily functions and surely no reflection on your offspring's intelligence or your capability as a parent? So what's to be proud of?

Sure - when DD is a little older and does something for someone else of her own volition as an act of kindness, then yes, I might be proud of that. If she helps people and achieves happiness for herself and others then I might also be proud of her for that. But rolling? Nah.

Am I being a twat?

Harsh?

Um...I take it you've read the responses then

"I do not fit in with the ipad owning, Boden wearing norm of MN"

Oh ok. Can I take back my "I don't think you are a twat" comment?

"Doesn't matter whether every baby rolls/crawls/walks etc. its still a special moment when YOUR baby does it because you watch them grow every day and that is a part of their journey.."

This as well.

Haha :D

My newly ripped arsehole is feeling somewhat sore here.

Well no actually, normal and average are two completely different entities altogether. Normal is completely subjective whilst average is a statistical term which is definitive.

Well done Op spot on with 3socks she is indeed a lovely person every child is different whether they be NT or SN, the things my son does that makes me proud would probably get laughed at by most people but hey ho I don't care anymore. In answer to your question yes you are a twat a prize one at that.

Lovely :)

I did warn you to stop digging op.

my dd cannot use a Ipad
do I win??

I do see a lot of posts on here about Boden in style and beauty, 'I'm on 50k and I'm skint' threads and 'which private school should I send DD to' posts in here every day - you can't deny it :)

Aaaaaanyway - that's not relevant - I was just responding to a post accusing me of being a snob. 'tain't so ;)

So because you've seen some threads on a huge forum by people who are wearing Boden using Ipads you've decided that all users on here wear Boden/use Ipads (even though you are on here and do neither)??

Ignoring the "how do I make £20 last the week? " "I can't afford my heating", threads yes?

It seems your Internet usage is mainly driven by your massive judgy pants.

You shouldn't wear Boden, nor should you call your child Jayden. And please be non emotive at all times. You are permitted a small smile if a DC wins the Nobel.

There does seem to be a very high number of MC types on here.

Now...you can deny that as much as you like, but....

Like I said - not relevant - I was just defending myself against a silly post accusing me of being a snob.

Softly you are being a little silly and OTT

Let's not cling so desperately to ONE post ffs.

Yeah - I said Jayden, so what? I didn't use it in the context of talking about 'chavs' or class.

Im proud to be my DD's mother, im a lone parent, had PND, lost temporary custody, thought hard to get her back, she has special needs, and now shes actually starting to catch up with her peers, im darn proud of her, and will continue be, nothing wrong in pride.

And if you hate FB so much, deactivate account and forget about it, simples.

"And if you hate FB so much, deactivate account and forget about it, simples."

That too.

And if it's face to face, tell them you don't give a fuck about their pride in their children. Then you'll never have to hear about it again (mostly as they'll probably never talk to you again)

eh :)

Bit of an over reaction to my OP I fancy
