To wonder what happened to Gina Ford and Supernanny

[DannydeVitooo]

In the end. You never hear about them any more do you.

its unasseptable

As a lady of a certain age myself, can confirm that sitting on the naughty step for one minute for every year of your life really doesn't leave a lot of time to do anything else... please bring snacks.

Maybe they had their own kids and got a dose of reality

As a woman of a certain age it sounds amazing to me. 38 minutes to sit by myself in silence?! I'm off to hit my sister...

Because we learnt that you can’t ‘sleep train’ babies. You just teach them you aren’t coming

Jo Frost was in the news a few months the ago for making ignorant comments about neurodiversity. No idea where Gina Ford is.

Ideas around emotional wellbeing of children have moved on since then, getting into a battle of wills and making sure your children is the one to snap isn't really an acceptable parenting method nowadays.

I think Jo Frost is still working in TV, she has shows in America and Australia I believe.

What's unacceptable? That you never hear about them? Or their methods?

Isn't Gina Ford the originator of purée days? All my ante natal group did those except me. Bloody waste of time.

Maybe Jo Frost got sick of people taking the piss out of her speech impediment?

I think Gina Ford went quite reclusive after there was a huge backlash against her books.

Gina Ford. She who shall not be spoken about due to taking mumsnet to court.

You've missed the joke. Google unasseptable

Maybe Jo Frost got sick of people taking the piss out of her speech impediment?

It's not a speech impediment, it's a mispronunciation although I agree that it's not funny

Oh I see, you're mocking her lisp. Great.

Jo Frost recently and somewhat bizzarely popped up on a fb video interviewing someone in a true crime doc - very out of place (knowing her from her super nanny days).

If she could pronounce it correctly I'm sure she would

It's not a lisp

It is NOT a lisp. She is just thick as pig shit and doesn't understand words.

I think Gina Ford was fairly far past post-nannying career when she wrote her books so she's probably long retired.

Actually 62 - sorry Gina!

The unasseptible girl is on tiktok actually and she's said that the show really helped her family briefly but they didn't stick to it, although it is embarrassing to watch back and she mostly grew out of a lot of that behaviour.

Gina Ford now runs a consultancy business for parents.
She was really big just before I had my kids, and I took some of her advice which was useful (bedtime routine) snd some which I adapted to suit. Common sense really.

Their ideas and concepts are outdated. New research has shown their methods to be not in the best interests of children.

You would think so, however I am still often advised by certain relatives to leave my baby to cry (day and night) - provided he has been fed and has a clean nappy of course 🙃

Wonder if there's a klaxon going off in Mumsnet towers.
