I laugh a hearty laugh when they show the child falling asleep simply by having his/her hand rubbed.

Oblomov too much time on mn can result in a tendancy to get things out of proportion and get unnecessarily upset. FFS being a mum is hard enough without the opinions of strangers pissing you off too. I can't think of a better way of calming yourself down than taking a break. But that is just my opinion

I agree Carmenere that things get out of hand.
But what I mean, is that people say some terrible things to eachother - I mean really bad.
Switching off the computer won't help that.

Eemm just noticed cod started this and then just leabves it to sizzle as usual.Good god cod get a life..

Deb she started the yesterday and I suspect she is having a life which is why she hasn't come back

lol

what was that about clique

I agree with fishy for once.When your little darlings have had enough of your boobs and organic pick and mix and they become teenagers they will be eating kfc and haribo behind your back and will be full of all kinds of chemicals.Get a life is right

To quote my good friend Hunker, Feck off Debby. You, my dear are stirring.

Um, I'm sure this has been said, but surely anybody who doesn't care about talking about weaning, can just not read the weaning threads?

Exactly wallace. Different strokes etc.

I am past weaning but still take a little look. Mainly because I was crap at it, intimidated by Annabel Carmel's recipe book I used a lot of jars. Still wish I hadn't but hey ho, wish I had been on mumsnet then and been able to get advice and support from people like Aitch and hunker.

tiktok - yes irritated is the right word. I don't feel guilty because I never feel guilty but really the tone of that other thread is unnecessary and this one is a useful deflation of it I think.

I have to agree with whoever posted on here to ask why so many threads degenerate like this. Why are so many people so adamant about whatever parenting preference they have and end up pontificating about it? And I speak as someone who did bf and who will do some blw but I just don't get the whole culture where it's ok to say "weaning early is abusive" as someone said on that other post. I mean really, what nonsense.

The sanctimonious tone is, yes, irritating. And pointless since the advice changes pretty frequently (just three years ago the advice was to wean at four months) so it's also ill-advised to be so doctrinaire now. There's plenty more scope for new studies changing the advice again.

This is not aimed at you, of course. Just explaining why those threads p*ss people off.

Debsy, Clique doesn't come into it. I have had disagreements with Cod, yet when I think she is right, I will agree with her. I haven't had any disagrements with Hunker from what I can remember but that was harsh !

If Cod had come in with ....
"Oh, fuck off.

Hunker, it must be great never to care about anything and just mock other people all the time.

Just fuck off."
..... she would've got jumped on as per usual.

People didn't like what Hunker was posting about so they said their piece, Cod thinks it's all bollocks so she said her piece - simple as really.

FWIW, I will be weaning DD2 v.soon and she is the same age as your DS Debsy

Lol Mellowma - have written another shitty letter to NatWest this morning thanks to your thread

aaahhhh. tiktok. ever the voice of reason and calm even on weaning.

a halo for St Tiktok, please?

(i never had issues with weaning. DD had to common sense to refuse everything till 8 months when she considered yoghurt. anabel carmel's weaning plan in the back of her book was a fantastic piece of fiction for her.)

I am not all that reasonable in many other parts of my life kiskidee, but don't be too nice or I'll be accused of being in a clique

Margoand - I don't see the sanctimonious pontificating myself, but for those who do, feeling irritated is much better than boo-hooing about people 'making' them feel guilty! No one can 'make' you feel guilty if you don't think you have deliberately done something wrong. And if you do think you have done something wrong, but it wasn't deliberate, then of course you can't feel guilty!

Guilt comes from inside ourselves, and if people truly feel guilty because of something they have seen on a talkboard, unrelated to what they feel is blameworthy, then, well....perhaps the internet is not for them

gosh what an annoying thread....

I have no idea for any of them and now I want to know

I'm sitting here thinking dd2 11 weeks? 16 weeks?

as for ds heaven knows..all i do know is he has always hated food

I shall have to look a tphotos

tbh i have been out lal day and have deprogrammed myself from mumsnet fro

8 hours?

i did say zokeeper was being harsh ont eh other thread
and set up serveral diverionary threads based on 80s lyrics

Sorry, Cod. I love you too, you, you...fish, you.

OH this is a very pretty thread. Does it come in a size 16? It doesnt fit quite right in this size.

P.S. I think some of the posts on here are a bit nasty. In My Very Boring Opinion.

Sorry I went off (with my life) . I did actually feel guilty : as a first time mum I came across a lot of conflicting advice and felt trapped between them all. It's horrible to feel that whatever you're doing is wrong.

However, I've clearly stumbled into some other discussion...I don't really feel irritated in any way so I'll probabably pop off again. Sorry if people got annoyed by previous post

Wallace - great minds think alike.

I'm not a lone parent, so I don't read those threads.
The style threads are BORING so I don't read them.
I'm not a man so I don't go in the Dad's room.
Need I go on? Simple - yes?!

DS was weaned when he reached over to my plate opne day and pinched some cucumber.

he liked it and so i gave him some more.
have no idea how old he was, about 4-5 months i guess.

DD was the same, when she seemed ready she got some finger foods to chew on.

every parenting book tells you that all babies are different and yet they are also telling you set guidlines to follow for all babies....am i the only one who thinks that makes no sense? when your baby is ready it is ready.

and why people get so het up over what other parents do is beyond me.
