Re: secret behind the picture perfect marriage?

I'm afraid I stopped reading at the 'more expensive parties mean it isn't going to be full of chavs or unattractive people'. Is your real name Katy Hopkins by any chance?

Re: 4yr old boy wants to wear a dress at Halloween

This might help your husband (not sure!) I was reading Raising Boys by Steve Biddulph the other day and it says that men who cross dress tend to have been raised with a very strong male influence that did not allow them to explore their more emotional/feminine sides when children! I agree with other...

Re: Money for "me time"?

I'm at home most of the week too and I'm slightly bamboozled how you have the time for gym/hair/nails/clothes shopping/lunches out!! It's tricky. Looking at it from the other side, let's say my husband is out of cash, I give him £20 to go to the supermarket. He then comes back not having spent it as...

Re: Help - 8 year old party girl ideas

One cheap and easy craft activity is to make tutus for Barbies. You just need to make little rings of elastic (only requires a couple of stitches from you in advance) and then cut up loads of strips of coloured netting (you can get rolls on Ebay). Then you the party guests can knot the netting round...

Re: Looking for playpen

Hi. I have a BabyDan playpen which I would be very happy to sell you for £40. I did a lot of playpen research and it's a really good one - I think the roomiest you can get and better still you can unfold it and screw it into the wall to make a safe corner in a room. We did this in my kids' bedroom s...

Re: Freaking out

I would be completely freaking out too but I think the most likely thing is that the noise you heard was the saw cover falling and you assumed it was the lock. But if you're worried get the locks changed and have a bolt fitted so you know no-one can get in when you're at home. Banham are great - the...

Re: Watching TV at school...

My kids (reception and year 2) also seem to watch TV at rainy playtimes and end of the day. Plus I think after school club sometimes. I can't' say I'm thrilled about it - we only watched 'Watch' at school! From these posts, it does seem to be the norm though.

Re: Funfair Injury

Yowsers, that's horrid. I do always make sure my kids wear trousers on those slides but I'd be the first to admit I'm quite paranoid about that sort of thing. I think the slide people should tell you that if you've got bare skin you may get burns. As an aside, when I was at school my friend broke he...

Re: Wd you let yr 2-3 yo go on a coach with a lap-only seatb

I'd take my child off the trip if that's any help. I know the chances of anything bad happening are tiny but given that you're informed enough to know there's a risk, I don't think it's worth taking it. Or if you really want your child to go, call in and say you all overslept, running massively late...

Re: Car sickness advice for 4 year old

I give my daughter popcorn to nibble on. If you make it yourself is super cheap and if they are under strict instructions to eat it one kernel at a time it lasts a long time. Also listening to a story in the car seems to take her mind off it. My brother used to be terribly carsick and my Dad (whose ...

Re: complaining neighbour

Poor you, that sounds horrible. We had a very difficult neighbour so I can definitely empathise. You are absolutely in the right - your grandson should be able to play ball in the garden without him complaining, particularly since it isn't happening every day. Don't worry about your neighbour, he so...

Re: When is it inappropriate to use a potty?

We are potty training too and I had to whip the travel potty out on the bus the other day. It was pretty mortifying but surely better than wee all over the bus. When they're just starting out I really don't see what other options you have other than wearing a nappy when out which quite frankly I thi...

Re: Homeopathy doesn't work!

Oooh, I'm loving this debate. A few years ago the BBC did a fascinating series of 3 programmes on 'alternative' medicine. One was on homeopathy and I can't actually remember much about it other than the fact it didn't work. One was about healers and they got an actor to work with a healer and copy w...

Re: Flat head syndrome. Help- any recommendations?

My daughter always slept with her head on one side and her head was pretty asymmetric when she was a few months old - very flat on one side at the back and a bit bulgy at the front on one side as a result. I worried about it loads but once she learnt to roll over she started sleeping on her tummy an...
