Bloody he'll what have they done?? Cbeebies here, no news

Where have these Lego ads sprung from!!??!?!

Cos of this thread.

haha - OMG - what did they say

come awwwwn you can't tell me I was on the news and not tell me which bit they quoted (I said a lot on that thread )

Was so oooooh, I can't remember! It was in the chatty bit with 'experts' about 9.45ish this morning with Susannah.

Will try and locate it.

hehe - have seen the other thread and heard which bit they quoted - I am still chortling now

just read the thread. what did they quote.

Yes, I recognised your posting names then thought 'oops, maybe i Do spend too much time on the internet'

Oh I agree. Its absolutley shocking the way some Mums behave.

Fathers would never spend too much time on the internet, on the XBox, or at work, or playing golf, or down the pub, or at football matches....

What a bizarre article, why would someone take the time to right something like that. Yes I go on the internet and ignore my children to a certain extent but I also do the housework and ignore them. I do play with them lots periodically throughout the day, but they need to learn to play on their own and mummy needs some down time. What a load of rubbish!!

oh, xposted, you found your bit?

yes someone said on the other thread it was the bit where I found other ways to ignore my children even when I didn't have TV, internet or phone

wish I'd heard it LOL.

You were quoted in a nice red box with your posting name at the bottom

I heard about this. What did they quote me as?

I can cuddle 3yo DNephew and play on cbeebies games with him at the same time SO THERE!!!

I feel guilty about my online addiction. I play with DD throughtout the day, but not enough

They put 4 or 5 quotes together, one after the other with posting names, and then discussed it with their 'experts' - but it was very quick.

I think they somewhat missed the tongue in cheek bit!

It's a little bit funny to think of BeenBeeta (an Irish man/dad) being discussed on the BBC news as a representitive of British neglectful mums!

I'd die if my screen name was quoted in a paper or on the bbc news. They don't ask for persmission for that do they?! I'd feel like somebody had been looking in my window while I was picking my nose.

Thanks, Kangaroo!

Gosh, if I had known they would quote I would have explained a bit more what I meant. Oh well!

Valium, yeah, I know what you mean!

I am also not in the UK, so they didn't pick very good people.

LOL - and of course I'm constantly neglecting my children and never spend any time talking to them or doing things with them EVER

They are wild, feral children .
