(I suspect I am being irrational, but here goes...)

Have deliberately not joined a PN thread for exactly this competitive parental comparing. However, when they pop in Active convos, I inwardly grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

JUL 08 - Gosh now they're sitting up!!

JUN 08 - Choking down the solids

NOV 07 - Reading Tolstoy already

You know what I'm saying, like?

Not telling :P

Am rather enjoying the name though ...

Mind your blood pressure, you're looking a bit tense there

It's MN tradition for the AN and PN threads to have cheesy titles.

SirJimmySeville · 28/07/2008 15:33

No objection to cheese, it's the say-what!!!!!!!!! G&T milestoney ones. Anyway, as someone said, it's awfully hot and as someone else said, maybe I should go hide the topic, contemplate my unreasonableness in a dark quiet room and turn my frown upside down. It's for the best.

Can I just stick my head in the door to point out that contrary to what was posted at 15.01 - the April 07 babies are fascinating

CantSleepWontSleep · 28/07/2008 16:20

Just hide the topic if you don't like them FFS. I have it hidden despite being on one, as that one is always in my threads I'm on.

cheesesarnie - there's still an active PN thread for 2.5 yr olds, though why anyone would join us at this point I can't imagine.

yabu and a meanie. I have never opened one of these threads. and tbh thsy are much less annoying than the ones with c* in the title.

Turniphead, my April 07 baby is certainly not boring! Why single us out, what did we do?!

As for the OP, yes very unreasonable, just block them out if they bother you. I am part of a PN group because I like the company and chat with the other ladies. It is not a competitive place IME, quite simply people sharing similar experiences.

Can someone please give us a rule about what we can use? Minty sperm is out. Anything to do with baby development. Anything boring, so Thread number 6 is out.
Which leaves...what exactly?
