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

QOQ did if even cross your mind to check on the baby when you got back or were you just too busy trying to prove a point?

Oh, don't be so deliberately stupid. Of course she will have checked her baby.

why "of course"?

sorry i didn't realise you were there looking over her shoulder as she walked to school, said her good byes to DS1, chatted with mums, walked home and then typed away (all within 2 mins)

forgive me for my stupidity

ooops forgot the "checked on baby" before sitting down to type

tbh she had no reason to check on the baby. she had a monitor with her.

yo9u don't check on your kids every 2 mins while they're asleep do you?

I can forgive your stupidity. Sarcasm doesn't suit you, though.

QOQ is not a bad mother - making assumptions like the one you have made is insulting and ridiculous.

ffs do you all want me to weep for this to stop

I just can't believe that there are over 900 posts on a thread where people havde questioned - judged, even - each others parenting skills, changed their names, slung insults - AND NO-ONE HAS QUOTED THE MN PHILOSOPHY. MN is really going downhill. I'm off to some morally superior site.
Flounce.

ahem, blu, i think you will find i linked to it earlier. Not that it seems to have made any difference

Blu, hate you to be disappointed...

A word about our philosophy
The idea of mumsnet is that by pooling knowledge and experience, parents make the job of parenting easier. Please bear in mind that issues to do with raising children can be very sensitive and that everyone has the right to make their own choices when it comes to bringing up their kids. This is a discussion forum and we ask you to respect other people's right to their opinions, even if you disagree with them. Our policy is to keep intervention to a minimum and let the conversation flow. Having said that we will remove postings that are obscene, racist, or contain personal attacks.

Whilst we allow unlimited nickname changes to preserve anonymity we don?t allow name changing for malicious or inflammatory purposes. Members who change nickname for these purposes may be asked to leave.

Please bear in mind that we all know how difficult this parenting business can be, and if there's one thing all of us could do with, it's some moral support.

Oh Fio, how can you want it to stop? Don't you know it has to reach 100 posts?

(Nearly there!)

Sorry, missed a 0! I meant a thousand, of course!

If we get this to 1000 posts QoQ do you promise to stop ??

It is getting a tad boring

lol - no I didn't check on him - the door was still shut, I could hear his snoring through the door, and generaly I let him sleep 'in peace' when he goes down for his nap.

No i don't check my sleeping baby/children every 2 mins but I don't leave them sleeping in a locked house by themselves (just because i am too selfish to have a slighty grumpy baby) either.

I have a child at school and another at nursery. This means that i am doing drop off or pick up in the middle of my 14 month olds' sleep. I wake him up everytime if i am leaving the house because you don't take risks with your childrens safety.

so basically, QOQ put her baby down to sleep. she had a monitor so knew he wasn't crying... and yet she is supposed to check on him? why?

in case he hurt himself silently while she was out of the hosue?

a child could do that while you're IN the house...

makes no sense

for all you people who thought I am a newbie on nannyjob.co.uk just posting that thread on there to casue trouble.

Firstly I am not a newbie....I have been a nannyjobber for a while, just using another name 'Annabelle_Manchester'.

Secondly I did not post the thread to cause trouble, I posted it to highlight what a mother was doing, and the fact that I found it rather shocking and so wanted to share it with my fellow nannyjobbers.

Parent leaves sleeping baby for 2 minutes, 31 seconds.

It was hardly worth all the fuss, was it.

MRS Gordon Ramsay - I'm not the one bumping - it's all these other trouble makers

PS Mumsnetter is one of the following (I think)

haven't had time to 'narrow it down' yet as been putting the boys to bed - where I've leave them until 8.30 in the morning without checking on them

WigWamBam
Enid
Aloha
St. George

and 'possibly' one or two others -

Just caught up with this thread again. So when are all those people who have been throwing insults around throwing a leaving party then? And can I come?

41 to go. I'll leave you to it

VERY WELL SAID RE THE ABOVE, SHINYPEOPLE! IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO WAKE A CHILD UP RATHER THAN COMPROMISE THEIR SAFETY?

Can you explain to me again how QoQ compromised her baby's safety Lancashire Lass?

How old is the baby QoQ?
