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?

There is a difference between swearing at people and being asked to give your baby up.

And how am I posting nonsense? Just because my parenting ideas are different to yours, doesnt mean its nonsense. Its just the way I was brought up.

Ok so I've read a few more posts now. Seems to me like you have lots of ideals in place, like most people do before they have kids. Some of those ideals you will stick to and maybe there's some that you won't. I never wanted a child to sleep in our bed either but it happened out of sheer desperation. She's 2 now and hasn't slept in our bed for a long time but it was a regular occurrence for months. What I'm trying to say is that even if you take the softer option sometimes it doesn't mean that that is the way it will always be. 'Rod for your own back' etc is largely rubbish if you always try to establish your ideal situation again. Having children is an experience that no one can prepare for really, and all kids are different. Take it as it comes OP and don't be too hard on yourself if you end up straying from your ideal parenting standards. Everyone fed, no one dead and all that.

Good luck and hope the nursery looks lovely!

Nope. It's nonsense.

I am sure you are reading a different thread to the rest of us. Nothing titty has said even vaguely suggests "pandering" to any child!

Her approach simply isn't as set in concrete and parent focused as yours!

Thank you x You really cheered me up x

So only your parenting style is right? Eveyone elses ideas and theories are "nonsense". Grow up.

You seem to be missing the point - you haven't had any children and obviously have no experience with them. That is quite normal before your first. However the other posters have DC's and years of experience between them. Do you not think that people posting here know what they are talking about?

No one is claiming to know the perfect way (other than you) but have successful brought up their family so know something about it.

I guess you have a valid point. Nothing we planned to do was ever parent focused. We decided thats what would be the best for Daniel and his development. Thats the only reason why we ever decided any if this, for him.

It just confuses me because I have never seen the things the other posters are saying being used with friends of mines kids and I wanst raised like that. You can see how its lost on me when I have never seen or experienced it, either as a child or with other peoples kids.

ok, so I no longer think she's a troll. she's just not very bright, despite her BTEC, and nothing we say is going to change any of that.

I'm sorry for the baby but hey, as he will never know any sensible parenting, he won't know what he's missing, so it doesn't matter. like a blind person. right OP?

I'm hiding this thread now, the pigheaded stupidity of the OP is depressing me. I won't even bother wishing luck as it's wasted on this person who is more interested in thinking she's right, how she expects to raise a humble child with her attitude ¯(ツ)/¯

I do think your comment about blind people and them not being sad what they don't know is vile. Does the same apply to my deaf partner ?

Yes. I'm a perfect parent.
Because that's exactly what I said? 🙄

Because everyone else on this thread is agreeing with your fabulous ideas.

Good luck baby Daniel, you're going to need it

This is honestly the most batshit thread I've read on here, and that's saying something! OP you are completely and utterly deluded and I really do worry for your child! Having said that, my opinion doesn't count for much as I'm that immature I inwardly chuckle every time someone mentions titty!

You act like we are not going to love him at all! He is going to be cuddled and kissed and played with to his hearts content. But all children need to learn boundaries and right from wrong. The most basic human moral values.

You say im not clever but I have 7 GCSEs all grades A or B and the reason I took a BTEC is because I didnt fancy any of the A level subjects. Dont enjoy maths, english and all that (even though I still passed them with As ans Bs at GCSE)

Don't worry everyone SHES GOT GCSE's so she was right along

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I was just trying to prove that you cant miss something you have never had. I have never been to Africa, so how can I miss Africa?

When you see your friends children, you see a very small piece of their lives. You don't see the day in, day out highs and lows of their life. Parenting is hard, very hard and many, many times you choose the easiest way of doing things because you are tired, in a rush, run out of patience and need to get things done. I swore that I wouldn't use the tv as a babysitter as my parents didn't and I thought that was the best way of doing things. It all changed when it was raining and I had loads to do - I sat my DT's in front of the tv with a bag of crisps. Not perfect but real life and not in any baby book.

Having GCSEs doesnt mean I am right about parenting, but you said I wasnt bright.

Please show me where I said you weren't bright?

GCSE's are a piece of piss, doesn't make you clever having passed them..

Good advice x I know it is probably really tough and I have a lot of shit coming my way.

My only question is, why did you pick TV over giving them toys to play with? Im not saying its wrong, im just curious

The tv keeps them quiet for longer and toys they can throw st each other!
