just incase anyone liked this last series :)

What a weedy man " I want her to be happy all the time"

Well done him

Yes he did it.
Let's see how they do on their own

I wonder if KM techniques will change after having a baby. I'm. Maternity nurse and also do behaviour consultancy for up to age five. I definitely have more understanding and have changed quite a few methods that I use since I started trying for a baby. Now after five failed or cancelled fertility treatments and after a sixth that worked I'm 26 weeks pregnant. I follow more gentle methods they may take longer but results are the same. Also I'm more inclined to say if a behaviour is actually ok and positive methods to guide child. No way would I be able to have upset parents and child for half an hour.

Congrats mrs ww - so pleased for you

I didn't change because the children I have known who have been the most in charge in their homes have been the most miserable.
I think when behaviours are nipped in the bud and boundaries are firm those are the children with the most freedom and better self image.
I would feel heartbreak for my child if her were THAT child in a way that I just don't because of the odd paddy or whine going un answered.

A lot of it stems from a very much wanted child and they don't want her to cry and not have fun and tso get everything they want etx

I know of a few families like this. Older couple. Lots of failed ivf and so overjoyed it's worked that they never say no

I did exactly what they did when ds was 3, if you think Flossie was upset you should've heard ds it lasted 2 nights I think, or 3 and after that he turned into the world's best sleeper EVER. Wish I'd done it sooner. I hadn't had a full night's sleep in 3 years

I did give ds a night light though!

Well that seemed straightforward.... Next weeks looks interesting.
Disney ex

Agree a night light would have been nice

It did seem very dark as she put her hands out to find the bed.

Thanks blondes, it's been a hard journey and still not over yet. Makes me sad to think of the stories I've heard where couples are successful.

As for continuing my consultancy work it's a more gentle approach one I hope the TV shows cover one day. I'm tired of the media which think time outs are the only way.

I was a much better nanny than I ever was a mum I even had a waiting list ffs. My own kid ran rings round me he was very, very energetic and wilful , made Flossie look a lightweight plus I had PND too, while different ball game with your own

Still dithering whether to try 3rd lot of private ivf. Don't really have another £6K+ spare at the moment :( but time is passing

But glad finally worked for you x

Bloody hell, is it that much?!

I would like to know what the advice would be for days when you are in a rush and don't have time to let her 'sit and wait.' I did agree that it worked well, but there are going to be days when mum needs to get somewhere quickly, so how would the nanny deal with a child whining and not wanting to walk then?

Sit and wait will be just an exercise in getting mum back in charge and Flossie doing as she's told, it won't be something that continues.

I watched the first one. Yet to see second. I thought she was so so right in many things and thought processes and so emotionally disengaged in others.

It was clear the little lad had sensory issues around clothes. I would have thought suggesting something more comfortable than jeans would have been better than forcing a child months and months off from starting school to wear a uniform. He needed to tolerate the clothes he needs to wear first. And her comment something along the lines of "he'll get dressed, you just see I'm right "

Yet her attitude towards mum needing to be more positive, closing the family divide and her zero tolerance to hitting seemed spot on. Although remorse my arse!

I really liked dad in this. Mum was lovely but dad response and attitude to his kids as refreshing to see.

Blondes it's a tough choice isn't it. Basically all my income has gone towards treatment the past two years if this cycle had failed next step was donor embryos abroad. Drugs on my last treatment alone was £2000. I'm too scared to add up the total cost:-(

As for KM and I'm sure it's partly editing but I wish she would give some positive feedback to the parents not just all negative.

It wasn't clear the boy had sensory issues at all

She does give positive feedback, she says she really admired them and was positively gushing about the Dad when he was in the garden with Flossie.

And she said how nice bed time routine was, just it was in the wrong bed

I don't find it very credible that she achieves anything long-lasting within three days, other than those occasions where she's telling the parents the fucking obvious in terms of saying No occasionally. And even then I'm not convinced that a parent who can't work out the fucking obvious for themselves will stick to it once she and the TV cameras have gone away.

I think Katherine is a strange character. She seems to have a smug look on her face and hangs around the house drinking tea or coffee in her smart clothes. I wasn't too keen on Jo Frost as she was a one trick pony but at least she rolled her sleeves up and got down on the floor to play with the kids and related to them well. K just seems emotionally distanced from the kids. Jo Frost put up rules that kids could understand and devised ways of positive reinforcement which were successful.

Is she pregnant? It's just someone said they wonder if she'd change when she had her baby.

MrsWW congratulations.....must have been very tough being a maternity nurse and seeing all those babies born, when you were longing for your own. So pleased you will soon have your own LO. And blonde so sorry too - tough times.

I didn't think Flossie was that bad at all apart from sleeping in the parent's bed. Mind the fact that the father was talking about being anxious about changing his parenting, said it all really. I'm sure there must be kids with far worse behaviour than that little girl.

Oh your post made me smile Elementary and I absolutely agree with you and your views were so beautifully expressed. I always warm to people who say fuck!

Yes dame Anywhere £5/6k depending on how many drugs you need and older you get the higher dose of drugs. Think last ivf was £175 a day on drugs x 12+days plus £3500 for the basic package of retrieval and implantation - plus any extras. It sure ain't cheap :(

Abroad is cheaper. Gawd knows why

Ditto mrs ww. Hence why I do so much night nannying with newborns

Course it is obvious partners need to say no and stick to firm
Consistent boundaries - but many cant as don't like hearing /seeing their child cry

And most times it isn't a cry. It's a winge which then goes to screaming as used to parents giving in

Thanks Nina - tho flossie was a nightmare. Couldn't listen to instruction. I would have been picking up that buggy .......

Yes definitely worse children then that BUT also many much better
