to be upset by this?

[ThisHasMadeMeSad]

Regular but have namechanged for this.

A friend has put on facebook that her DD who isn't quite 2yrs hasn't been sleeping recently and keeps getting up so she has resorted locking her in her bedroom. She also mentions that she has used medised on her too (I think on a separate occasion)

She has commented that her DD has been distressed by this but that she needs a break.

She is a good mum but has got (I feel) some really outdated ideas of what is appropriate usually nothing that bothers me particularly as we all have different ways of parenting our kids and I'm sure she doesn't agree with my more attachment style parenting but this has really worried me.

I know some MN'ers will say that I should mind my own business and even if I did say something she would take it badly I'm sure but I just feel so sad for the poor mite

WWYD?

parakeet you put it so much better than me!

Parakeet -It does sound as tho it is a temporary measure but personally still not comfortable with the idea.

Off to bed now

Thanks for all your responses

If you see her and it comes up in convo or if appropriate on FB you could say/put something like: sorry about the lack of sleep, remember it can feel like torture, went the stairgate route on their bedroom door for dc... just so you've mentioned another option without being preachy. Think that's all you can do really.
