    Aw now I am really

    I did end up getting the shawl from another stall. She who shall not be named just really erks me. Some of 'those' methods were used on my generations growing up and I understand that for my parents that was the norm but I can see things in my life that may be a result of some of those techniques and I would hate for the children of today to be exposed to it. I mean humans have realised smoking when pregnant isn't the best, that lead paint is hazardous but her books are still sold... it astounds me.

    If I'm right about who 'she' is (I'm not always on the ball with these things ), then I will admit I have started taking Brontide and Lulu's lead as rebel-shoppers - I go into the book shop, find *those* books, have a quick look and accidentally place them back in a completely different section. *whistles*

    Sarah, hun, never doubt yourself. I always look at people who offer unwanted advice (if they are in front of me) as though they have taken leave of their senses to even suggest it. Thankfully, since all of my friends and family know I'm a long-term bfing hippie, they generally believe all of my parenting philosophies are just as wacky and don't even bother offering in the first place.

    I'd politely remind any would-be advisor that you are a moderator on a parenting forum, and that means you have actually come across a few parenting techniques in the five or so odd years since you joined.
