Doesn't ANYONE know what to do unless some 'guru' or other wags a finger in their face and mispronounces words??

I was quite annoyed when I saw it.

Completely agree, unfortunately people will buy it! Even those who are competent, I imagine!!

I think Mumsnet should produce a magazine with a regular round up of all our tips of wisdom

olive oil, why don't you buy one one and read it and then let us know what you think.

Have skimmed it and its a lot better than the other ones on the market!

Why would you get annoyed? Its just a magazine. Well done to all the parents that know how to bring up children, I envy you.

I, however, haven't got a clue, and don't see the harm in anything that might help people become better parents, and ultimately help children grow up confident, mature, happy individuals.

i no longer look at magazine racks, it just makes me sad.

pudding77 · 05/09/2006 22:12

I can see your point pablopatito, I've also used parenting magazines because they are helpful but my problem is with the whole Supernanny thing anyway - I just don't like the programme & don't see why they needed a magazine (apart from to make money of course!)

pablopatito · 06/09/2006 09:03

I've watched Supernanny a couple of times and it seemed ok? The paradox I find with these types of programs (and there seems to be loads of them), is that if I spend all day with a screaming, naughty, rowdy child, once I've finally got him to bed and have time to myself with a big glass of wine, the very last thing I'd ever want to do is turn on the telly and watch a program about screaming, naughty, rowdy children. Do some people find it escapism or something?

I'd have the same problem with a magazine. In the precious time when I'm able to sit down and read a magazine, I want to read about football or music or something - not children!
