I disgree with welliemum and aitch.
I am going over old ground here, the points I am about to make have been made throughout the thread, but I feel I have to comment , to answer welliemums and aitch latest posts.
Welliemum says "It's pointless to value being laid-back above being strict" - but every single thread on mn, dicuss's and looks at these issues - so I don't think thats a valid point- we are here to discuss all our differences, different ways of doing things.
Besides, we all know that, as has been said, food threads are generally very contentious. And one poster said she'd never even seens a "I don't care" type food thread before - so lets atleast accept that this is not the norm, just people voicing a view, that is generally gagged and pushed under the carpet.
There are zillions of food threads, dicussing the best that can be achieved. And for once in a lifetime, there is an alternative thread, to say, who cares, we do this....
And what an uproar if has caused.
And I don't see it as "laid- back-parenting competitiveness" , as wellie described it.
"i'm shocked that this has neve occurred to the 'lazyarse' crew that it's equally unpleasant to crow about being so chilled out " - said aitch.
When I said I never realised - what I meant was, that I never realised that Greenys insecurities were the reason. I couldn't have been expected to know, until she told us in her post.
Everyones now saying sorry.
Sorry for what ?
I'm not sorry.
I don't anything to apologise for.
