In Thinking The MN 10th Bash Could Have Been More Charitable?

Highlander · 06/03/2010 20:26

apologies if I've missed something, but....

it's the boring old MNers themselves who have highlighted all the almost-taboo aspects of parenting

2nd trimester miscarriages
special needs
breast feeding and all its proiblems
the Nestle issue

etc etc etc

So why the flash sleb-fawning party? I kind of feel MNHQ forgot the real reason why MN is so successfull. Were the guests hand-picked so that they wouldn't embarrass Carrie and Justine by bringing up the issues we MNers care about with the PM and his wife?

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to have the guest bring along a bag of their favourite biscuits and donate the money they would have spent on catering to a charity chosen by us?

I dont believe its about being a sociopath...people are all different...and build relationships in different ways..

SoMuchToBits · 06/03/2010 23:35

I'm also tempted by the wine- whereabouts do you live Custy????

Spoof · 06/03/2010 23:37

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying SM IS a sociopath, just that the picture painted.
