To feel alone in a sea of Kath Kidson

[PeriodFeatures]

everyones child has a toy called sophie....

I don't want to talk about baby food and really don't care what kind of bloody pram you have got.

How can that 'Yummy Mummy' bag be any compensation for not being able to carry a proper handbag anymore..

'would you like a drink'

'I'd love a coffee..'....
.'yes we have some de-caf,'
(I don't want de-caf I want fucking caffine you cunts)

Also Boden uniform (though I am guilty too)/

My lab ate our Sophie. I was very pleased.

De caf coffee is pointless. As is herbal tea.

ILetHimKeep20Quid your link is not working..i need closure , please re post it!

Yanbu, summed it up perfectly

You are not alone OP. The herd mentality just gets bitchier and competitive about how similar their children are.

Good riddance.

My son seems to like his sophie. Well, he sucks her leg.

I have a pink lining bag. I bought it as it has loads of separate spaces and pockets for different things. And also because it was the nicest looking bag I could find.

I don't really care for baby food talk, I only care what I feed my baby, don't give two hoots what you feed yours.

The only pram make I know is the one I have and I bought it because my SIL had one and it seemed decent. Didn't bother shopping around and doing 'research'.

I don't drink coffee anymore. Green or peppermint tea (health kick). I sometimes dream about coffee though.

Overall - YABU. How dare you have your own opinion!

Oh and Kath Kidson. WTF?! Far too twee for my liking. That and it's bloody hideous.

Ok, I know what everything else is but can someone please explain to me (or better yet, link to!) what a 'yummy mummy' bag is?

Heart broken - google Pink Lining Yummy Mummy changing bag.

I can't link on my phone.

Sophie La Girafe is a classic French toy that has been around 50 years or something like that. You can get them from loads of places, I didn't even realise that CATH KIDSTON sold them. Are you using the term Kath Kidson (sic) to refer to a certain type of mother, or the actual shop?

Because YABU for starting a thread about a company whose name you can't even spell. And daft for giving a shit that some other mothers aren't like you. Sounds so schoolgirl.

I once got asked what kind of pram I had by a woman I went to several ante natal groups and physio classes with (coincidentally, we hadn't met before we were pg). Cue me telling her and her getting a confused face followed by "So not an iCandy then?" she has never spoken to me since.

Fucking hell! Those bags are £80! £80! .

I haven't seen anyone with them though...

Ummmmmmm

We have tried lots of so called teether toys and the best thing was Sophie or my watch strap, but sadly we lost Sophie twice and couldn't afford to replace.

No exciting special bags here, but if I could afford would definalty buy.

No, NO NO Cath Kidson here.

I do not drink coffee and couldn't care less about caffeine or non.

re NCT, the first thing you all have in common is babies so the talk does generally start to be about babies whilst you all get to know each other.

People in the NCT are, well, people, so they usually are able to talk about lots of different things and are probably as bored as you are talking about baby food.

Don't move to Crouch End, you'd be committing mass murder by the end of day one.

I love proper coffee, baby food and pram talk bored me, I forced myself to join in rather than be alone with a PFB.

I have no idea what the Sophie toy, or Yummy Mummy bag are?

Kath Kidson, yes it is so over, having said that having had a look around one of her shops, all the products are good quality.

YANBU Is that changing bag actually meant for grown women?? It looks like something an 8yr old would have for playing with dolls. If I now get adverts for yummy mummy & cath kidston shit appearing down the sides of my web-browsing I will blame this thread.

I understand how you feel OP. But this too shall pass.

I never had a 'changing bag' - I mean it's just a fucking bag isn't it? Do you really need to buy a special bag to carry nappies and greggs sausage rolls nutritious home cooked food.

They do look like dolls' bags, yes. Daft. The idea of changing bags as a fashion accessory was just starting off as my kids were starting to grow out of needig one. I was baffled by the idea - I'd used a free one I'd got when I joined the Boots baby club. It was plain dark navy blue. Didn't feel the need for it to be pretty looking - in fact dragging it around parks, baby changing facilities, stuffing it under the pram pretty much warrants a dark colour. I bet those pale pastel colours start looking well grubby after a while. Plus there is no way DH would have carried a feckin flowery pastel one to the baby change place. In fact, now I come to think of it, why does the baby change bag have to be appealing to women anyway? Surely nappy changing is not a woman's job all the time?

Stand up for your unisex changing bag rights, women of the world! Or you may as well put a flowery pinny on and some lipstick and perfume ready to greet your hard-working husband with his pipe and slippers when he comes home from work!

PMSL. YANU.

Don't even get me started on people using the actual baby as a fashion accessory! [shudder]

Baby Uggs, Baby Converse Allstars blah blah. With numerous pictures on Facebook for their equally shallow friends to admire. The baby hasn't a clue what it's wearing.

Baby converse is cute! I can't agree with lumping that in with Uggs.

[shrugs] S'just brand names, innit? The child cares now what it says. It would be happy if it said "George at Asda" if it's feet were warm enough.
