My white, Crocs and Boden wearing, home educated daughter (who was delivered by elective CS so as to avoid pushing and include tummy tuck) was brought up on Formula milk laced with fruit shoots and Greggs' sausage rolls, after starting on puree at 14 weeks, which did her no harm. She certainly filled her disposable nappies!

She is so Gifted and Talented that my highly presentable size 8 nanny has to park her 4x4 in the disabled bay, and when she walks my dog next to the children's play area of the local and inferior state school (I'm no racist but it is full of immigrants), she is so busy listening to dd's insightful and well-informed explanation of exactly what happened to Madeleine McCann that she has no time to scoop the poop, thus necessitating the use of organic hemp dog nappies.

We feel that a light smack with the Daily Mail is the best (and kindest) way to limit the questions, or , if she has a modelling assignment coming up, it's easier to send her straight to bed - of course she cries, but will settle herself after a few hours. She can always watch the TV in her bedroom or play computer games if she can't sleep.

My question is: As the nanny at our country house is about to be deported back to Ruritania, should I send DD to boarding school now, or wait until she is seven? And should I allow her to walk there by herself?

Any advice - from longterm MN regulars only - welcomed. No arguments on my thread, you can leave if you don't like it. My views may be controversial but I'm still right.

Of course, if one sends one's pfb to school, there are so many things to consider.

Will she need a red rug?
Are there any tablecloths?
Will they serve Nice Ham?

you allow your DD to play near a school full of immigrants . I am outraged by your irresponsible parenting attitude. Send her to boarding School now and report yourself to SS immediately. FFS the class of people you get on here...

I'm going to get shot down in flames for this but:- i've never actually seen a greggs sausage roll !! Also, once i can source them, what is the RDA for a two year old, i don't want her to be missing out nutritionally.

Bouncingturtle · 13/09/2007 15:24

I'd sack your nanny - size 8??? Obviously she's been eating all the pies...
You should definitely sending to boarding school now, and don't forget to stick her on the pill before she goes
