Who is Vaunda? Name keeps creeping into active convo's today and I haven't the chance to read up on them!

[ssd]

Please fill me in!!

Sorry chloe, wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular.... I just expressed my disgust at the way Vaunda has been treated for the way she raises her son on the other thread. I hadn't read this thread until now and I'm disappointed to see people still having a go. Nothing to do with you starting the thread though. I just find some peoples comments a bit harsh to put it mildly!

Oh right sorry, have to admit I did have my say on the thread but thought I was getting a slating for my last post . I think the get-at-vaunda thing must def have come to an end by now though

Also have to say that I have just re-read this thread and must admit I am quite ashamed at me referring to Vaunda as 'moronic' I agree, VERY uncalled for, please accept my apologies. That's not to say I take back my second post and REALLY don't want to start all this up again but am quite about my behaviour.

Well, read a lot of the thread and have to say that I think Vaunda is just practising her form of attachment parenting. Her choice. Her ds will more than likely not be an axe-murderer when he grows up.
While some posters did seem to be genuinely concerned for her boy, with others there was just a touch of the
monster!

lol Chipmonkey! Well said.

My comments were not aimed at Vaunda by the way - merely the whole thread!!! (Which I read out of some kind of voyeurism) Parenting is, imo, the hardest job I have ever had to do, and though I personally spend the majority of my time and efforts (when I'm not mnetting ) in trying to be a good parent, the fact that my kids are nowhere near perfect, illustrates to me how blooming hard and frustrating it is to get it 'right'! So I will not be casting any stones. Sometimes I read stuff which makes me feel 'superior' and sometimes I read stuff which makes me wish I could go back 8 years and start all over again. But that's what i love about mumsnet. We all do whatever we need to do to make our and our families' lives the best we can. Er, sorry if I sound like an insufferable prig Best wishes to all mums x

Don't think so chipmonkey

Toothache,
I went to see him last night and i also spoke to the nurse looking after him. He is now having radiotherapy only twice weekly.... I like to assume this is a good sign. He had bloods taken yesterday and is waiting for the resuts.
Maybe yesterday was a good day for him, I had been told he was unable to recognise anyone or hold a co-herent conversation..... well he knew who i was and spoke to me co-herently for just under an hour. I was so relieved. Thankyou for asking toothache xxx

Chloe, no need to apologise. I have been called a lot worse than a moron previously and face to face as well lol.
