Plain white baby clothes

Ok so call me Boring if you like but i love the color white Confused i think its easy to wash no worrying about colors running or decals fading or coming off etc etc BUT i was wondering if there is any one else out there like me who thinks the same it seems if i dress my my child in all white babygro's for the first 12 months or until walking age then i might seem a tad weird lol also i think babies should'nt be dressed in bright colours and weird outfits anyway its kinda like turning them into an accessory when i see babies in bright clothes and those annoying cloth shoes (which are so pointless) i just think well why dont you just put a couple of handles on your baby and tote them around like a handbag may aswell lol am i the only one who thinks this way babies just look so cute and scrummy by themselves they dont need anything else to make them cute IMO......discuss Brew Cake Thanks

I barely got time to eat or go to the loo in the first few weeks, let alone clean the house! My standards have never been particularly high anyway, but figured kids need a bit of dirt anyway :)

Your spot on there seff think it's all about priorities tbh, (sort out the screaming child or wash the skirting boards? Mmmmmm) it does get easier as they get older tho especially when you throw pocket money and chores into the equasion ;) My DC have been a godsend during this pregnancy, DS (who wants to do catering at college) has been cooking up lobby and dumplings and DD has helped with pedicures etc - I can't even see my feet anymore never mind reach them (I'm 37 weeks and have SPD) what a pair of little stars they are

OP, not sure if you were joking, but midwives know quite a lot more than GPs about childbirth. Do you know what the G in GP stands for? 'General', as in, not specialist. I'm sure your GP is great but midwives are specialists - trained and experienced from delivering babies every day, in a way that even the best GP just won't be.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. In between steam cleanings, you might like to while away the hours here

You're welcome.

biwi simply amazing

So mumsnet didn't like my post, either because I said the f word OR because I mentioned another forum with similar wording to this one

Anyway, the rest of my post was defending midwifery staff. Much more skilled and qualified than gps in child birth. And as someone who has started midwifery training, works part time and runs a family home and is pregnant I take great offense to the ops delusional attitude.
I hope she has been referred to a mental health team as she needs some help.

I actually feel sorry for her now :-(

As someone who had an amazing birth in an MLU last week and had superb care by midwives all through her pregnancy, I can honestly say that OP is talking out of her @rse and is an immature and silly little girl who is going to learn a few harsh lessons once she gives birth and realises kids can't be steamcleaned and kept germ-free at all times.

From one of your posts on another thread:

"Hi everyone im 20"

So - are you telling us porky pies, OP? Or are you here just to cause mischief?

You certainly don't appear to be here to learn from any of us here who are, actual, you know, parents

What did you say?! I read your post but can't remember what you said - certainly don't remember it being delete-worthy!

Well I won't repeat but the gist was that I read this thread before it got mad and thought it was a bit odd and now it's really mad Grin it was definitely not delete worthy, but I see that there have been a lot of deletions so maybe it was just culled in a group culling!

I think they were probably troll culling. It's a very odd thread!

Oops, I meant troll calling culling.

They appear to be culling sensible comments but leaving OP's ridiculous ones up.

I was the same- although I would say 12 months is quite old to have them still in baby gros all the time! we started putting dd in proper clothes when she was about 8 months I think.
Mustard poo stains stay on whites forever though.

Seff · 01/03/2014 20:53

I was dressing DD at 2 weeks old (under pressure from my mum, because otherwise "people will think you don't care) but I CBA doing so this time - baby gros until at least 3 months, probably closer to 6.

(Probably not white ones though!)

Either she's on the windup, in which case feeding it won't do anything constructive, or she genuinely has serious issues, in which case I don't think personal attacks (if that's what the deletions were for; in fairness I've not read most so that could be way off-beam) will be either kind or helpful.

OP I am hoping this is just a rather daft recreational diversion, not a genuine problem for you. But if it is the latter, I do think a chat with your GP might be called for. You don't, honestly, sound very well.

I used the T word and got deleted.
What I meant was,
This thread must be a wind up

perfectstorm · 01/03/2014 22:51

Oh, they're t-word deletions? Sorry, didn't realise (and my own will doubtless disappear, in that case). I've just seen threads before where someone may or may not be a bit unwell, and people have basically laughed at them, and it always makes me wince a bit in case it's genuine and the poster is really quite troubled.
