going to be a 'bad' mummy later.........

[QueenOfQuotes]

have to take DS1 to his induction afternoon (2nd one - hoping he doesn't throw up like he did last week LOL) at his new school.........thing is DS2 has his sleep at 1pm-3pm - and the induction afternoon starts at 1.30

So I'm going to put DS2 down for his sleep as usual, at 1.30 on the dot grab the monitor, lock the front door and whizz round to the school to drop DS1 off - then whizz back again

CR, have you read the whole thread properly?

DS can also stand for 'darned' son

Julie - didn't I read in the Guardian recently that you were a bad lesbian, too? That having hooted your relationship with a woman far and wide you then said you couldn't see the point in the sex?

Is this something MN could help you with?

My baby is my PS2!

QofQ, if you leave your son in the house unattended while you go to school you are a bad mother in my opinion. You just don't do it. If you read about it in a newspaper you would think 'oh, what a terrible mother'. If you dont believe you are doing wrong by leaving ds, then why did u even start a post in the first place?

troll magnet

PMSL - I was just thinking the same thing - yet ANOTHER 'new' poster (or at least name changer)...........unless of course some people are name changing and posting trying to keep this thread alive

Ah, but how many trolls? With how many names?

If I read 'woman nips out of doors to drop child at house next door while baby has nap shock horror' I wouldn't think 'what a bad mum', actually.

Esepcially as I'd probably be reading it in an article about 'paranoid parenting' centring on this thread, which I personally am becoming overpoweringly urged to write.

God, please do MI.

Monitor, what's a monitor?

And we live in the top half of a big, solid, stone built Victorian house. And I've even gone out into the (large) garden to hang out washing without ds when he was a baby. Or alternatively, we have left him sleeping outside in the shade of the tree when we went back inside. As we live on the first & second floors of the house (with our own entrance) - it would take a minute or to to get up (or down) stairs.

I even (shock horror) once shut the door on ds crying, shut the door on the upper stairwell and went upstairs to the study and shut that door so that I could only hear him crying faintly. I'd tried everything - changed him, held him, breastfed him.... and he was just over tired, so I left him to it.

That was over 4 years ago and he is (and always has been, with only the odd exception ) the sunniest, happiest child you could wish for - and is brilliant sleeper (takes after his mother in that respect )

Hope your ds enjoys his induction day tomorrow QoQ.

its a lurker magnet too (ie me!)

dont have anything to post as i dont like to criticise other mums on their parenting techniques, as i dont think anyone is perfect, even me!

I'm not a troll honey, i'm a mummy , just like you, but i'm a responsible and a good mother, unlike some around here...

maybe harrietsmommie is perfect though...

I'm now MARRIED to the BROTHER of my former amoureuse!! (How COOL is that???!!!)

WHEN did you last read The Guardian, 1997?

Actually, come to think of it, that's probably right, you're all GOOD mums arnt you?

Well I get to play out WHENEVER I LIKE!! Not like you LOSERS!

CIAO!!

if I wasn't a reponsible and good mother (although of course not perfect - as no-one is) then I would't have two little boys like these do they look unhappy and unloved

Now why would anyone do that, QoQ?

Burchill, no-one is interested in what you have to say anymore. Face it, they were only ever interested when you were young and pretty and with me. I gave you your glamour. Without me, you'd just be a silly old bint with a high pitched voice. Oh sorry, you are without me now, aren't you?

Prettybird - thank you - I hope he enjoys it too - he threw up at his first one and had to come home early, and then of course last week I kept him off nursery, with him all excited........only to realise it was the wrong week

QOQ im still lol at you getting the week wrong! i hope he enjoys it too

"Now why would anyone do that, QoQ? "

Do what????

Sorry posts crossed.

Change their name to prolongue the thread!

No i'm not perfect, far from it, but when it comes to my kids, they are never put in uneccessary potential dangers.
