Under the sea or clouds and rainbows???

[MummyMiddleton]

Or baby boy is due on November 10th. We have a room for him but we don't want to buy and furniture or decor until we know what theme we are choosing. We are stuck between under the sea and clouds and rainbows. Both are equally cute.
We would paint the walls dark turquoise/aqua for under the sea and pale blue for clouds and rainbows. My mum has an art degree and will be painting the decor on top of the base colour (sea creatures and plants or clouds connected by rainbows).

If you had to choose, what would you go for?

I dont want to talk to you but I am going to.
Agreed, newborns can eat all night long. But I never ate during the night as a 3 year old and I grew just fine. A child doesnt need food at 1 in the morning. Im beginning to think you lot are batshit now

Working in a nursery, especially as a student, gives very little idea of the actual realisties of parenting.

Children dont go to nursery at night time...

Not to mention that it's normal for children to behave differently with their parents than with nursery workers and teachers. Often they've had to follow rules they don't understand at school all day and so act out where they feel safest - at home. It shows they trust you to be there to help them get through it. The OP would ignore it to punish the child.

My point exactly....

I never got toast in the middle of the night. What kind of planet are you on where kids can just have toast and whatever at stupid o clock? No boundaries, no routine, just a mess quite frankly

OP. - hopefully in years to come you will look back and laugh at your comments as someone who hasn't a clue about the practicalities of surviving having DC's. Numerous posters who have had children and learnt the hard way that you can't predict how babies, toddlers, children and teenagers will behave. They are all different as they are all individuals. They don't perform to the rules set out in a book.

Clouds!

Definitely.

No one is suggesting a regular midnight feast.

But they may be times, maybe they've slept through dinner, or been unwell, or didn't eat their lunch, when your child is hungry late at night.

If you woke up hungry in the middle of the night, what would you do?

Having blanket rules for things like this is madness, it really is.

Its not punishing, its disciplining. Discipline is safe, fair and age appropreate. Punishment is cruel, adult and often violent (I dont believe in smacking kids or using any sort of physical discipline. Its abuse)

Eating to a timetable is a big reason for the obesity epidemic. If i don't want to eat breakfast till 4pm I don't. If I'm hungry at midnight I eat.

As I said before, being unwell or having missed a previous meal is a completely different kettle of fish to just being a bit peckish and bored. If Daniel had missed lunch or dinner, or was poorly then obviously we would let him eat. We are not evil.

Your way of thinking may work, but it is so alien to me it kind of freaks me out. Not nessasarily because it is wrong, but because I have never come across it before.

Pleased to see MNHQ have deleted the death wishes!

Wow, how did a thread about nursery decor get to this?!?! HRTFT but woweeee!!

Not sure anyone cares anymore but I'd go 'under the sea'

I reported them. I know this thread is a bit very fucking mental but the dead in a ditch thing was a bit too far

I apologize, it was out of order and mean. But she asked me to get rid of my precious baby. It was an instinctive reaction im pretty sure most parents would have.

How would you react if someone litterally brought you to tears by asking you to put your baby up for adoption. That shit hurts, it really fucking hurts.

No, I wouldn't wish someone dead in a ditch tbh based on a flippant remark on an Internet forum from a stranger

Im beginning to think you lot are batshit now

Yeah, it's all of us. You're completely normal.

Well just back away from your keyboard. Hide the thread and just go.

Stop posting your nonsense and just leave it. You know your winding people up

She asked me to give my baby away, like he means nothing to me

Titty

I said that because no one I know parents their kids as panderingly as you do. You litterally have no boundaries for your kids, you just let them walk all over you!

Are you 12?
ITS AN INTERNET FORUM, you post nonsense you get things like that in return

For your own wellbeing and our sanity leave the keyboard and leave the thread of you're getting upset. It's ok for you to swear at people and kick off but you don't like it back
