I've seen it in WHSmith and Sainsbury.

Ledodgyherring · 17/05/2006 16:42

I think i've seen it in Borders.

Pruni · 17/05/2006 16:43

Borders definitely stock it
But be warned, it is one giant marketing ploy - you see product reviews but it's by no means comprehensive.

Pruni · 17/05/2006 16:44

OOPS!
Wrong one!
Sorry

It's very posh.
I read an article in it once about bringing up girls and it talked a lot about psychology and Freud but still didn't really say anything.

nailpolish · 17/05/2006 16:46

wh smith have it

KateF · 17/05/2006 16:46

Used to borrow it from a friend-had some interesting articles but havn't seen it around locally so perhaps it's a subscription one.

It does look good but everything in it is ridiculously expensive (as is the magazine!) and it is clearly aimed at those who think children are the lastest must have accessory.

Shame as a 'regular' parenting magazine would be good.

Waitrose stock it.

bundle · 17/05/2006 16:47

some of the articles are interesting, but the magazine is also awash with ridiculously-priced designer lables for toddlers to vomit over...

motherinferior · 17/05/2006 16:47

It doesn't pay very well.

bundle · 17/05/2006 16:47

gem, there was a bbc one but it was shelved..Sad

nailpolish · 17/05/2006 16:48

i used to love the BBC Parenting magazine (actually i really like all BBC mags) but i cant seem to find it any more

unicorn · 17/05/2006 16:48

any other good suggestions for mags.....

toddler and kids mag would be ideal without all the pregnancy bit as i've done all that bit!!

it is annoying when youve had your baby and you have to flick past all the pg bits

a baby/toddler mag without the pg bits is all i ask for (like yourself bluemama!)

unicorn · 17/05/2006 16:52

think the market is missing something here?
Maybe time for Mumsnet.. 'The Magazine'??????????

(plentiful supply of writers and readers here!)

mythumbelinas · 17/05/2006 16:52

saw it in sainsburys and a sweet shop

PiccadillyCircus · 17/05/2006 16:52

I liked the BBC Parenting magazine as well :(

Ledodgyherring · 17/05/2006 16:53

Thats a fab idea Unicorn and it could reprint the most interesting threads so no one misses out!

motherinferior · 17/05/2006 16:56

The deputy editor from BBC Parenting now edits a freebie mag called Your Family which is available from the ELC and has contributions from many fine MNers.

I would very much like a parenting mag which was both entertaining and, er, remunerative.

Waitrose have it. It is nice and glossy, a bit upmarket (think Boden and designerwear, Bugaboo and Stokke)occasional good article, Aloha has written for it.
