The Guardian Toddlers Mumsnet piece

[Hassled]

is here. Some fantastic quotes

yay! I was just hunting to see if anyone had linked to this yet

well done Justine

Great article.

Sorry to rain on the Justine's parade, but I am inclined to agree with Willduff in the comment section.
Great quotes though, especially by MorningPaper. Chocolate Buttons were always great for getting my child to behave himself in his toddler days.

The comments seem to have missed the humour angle of the article in the main!

"My daughter will only let the cat brush her teeth" palermo

I am now weeping.

I wonder where I may purchase this tome?

cat brushing teeth is HILARIOUS

I don't know whether to phone DP and tell him I've got a quote in the Guardian

But I'll have to tell him it's MN related and he'll rain on my parade... AND I'll have to reveal my nickname [Not On Your Nelly emoticon]

A typical comment from the Guardian boards:

I find it amazing that you are bragging about your toddler and insulting your fellow passenger in print, and presumably in person too. You might exercise a drop of humility and wonder if he had a point, rather than
assuming that he didn't have children. It certainly sounds like he did have
a point. Your child sounds vile, and so do you.

Oooh - makes MN look positively unvipery .

They'd be right at home on an AIBU thread!

lol Justine

yes makes you realise how LOVELY we are

don't tell them where the AIBU boards are

Can you imagine how well received Mrs pointythings would have been had she dared voice such smugness on here? There would have been smoke coming out of the PC!

Wouldn't suprise me if the comment really was from one of us on MN. This person has experience

What a load of old drivel they've spouted

God there really are some peole who are so far up their own arses it really is scary- was it me reading many of those comments which a masculine (disapproving) voice in my head ?

-with- not which

To be honest I'm still reeling from the revelation that Justine gives her toddler Orangina. That just feels wrong, somehow. An upmarket Fruitshoot, surely ?

[Shock] Orangina is just OJ with bubbles - not a shred of Aspartame in sight. (Plus he's my fourth).

oh wow! An outing in print for my new name

Though I'm not sure bubble mixture would have helped you on the plane Justine...>

Or worse, he might have tipped it over Horrid Man's head

and at

''This article especially and a good part of the posts made are complete guff and encourages irresponsible parenting.''

lollol, they got us bang to rights, eh?

ROFL at the cat brushing teeth.

And sniggering just a little at Justine's new MN name. Has something happened?

ORANGE JUICE WITH BUBBLES ON A FLIGHT?????

hope THAT stayed down!

"John Twohill" can apparently spot if someone is from North London just by looking at them. Now there's a talent I wish I had.

christ on a bike. those guardian readers are smug bastards aren't they?
i guess they're nannies clamp down on bad behavior as soon as it starts

my HV had 4 children. When I took my youngest for his jabs and thrust a handful of chocolate buttons down his craw as he opened his mouth to yell, I looked nervously at my HV and apologised.

She sighed and said: ''Molly, my youngest dd's first words were ''choc choc''

they're their
