i reported somone parking in a mother and child spot at DKH sainsburys as i had my daughter with me i didnt want to get involved in a verbal confrontation. the car park staff at sainburys didnt seem to care

thanks ruth loved your blog, i dont feel like sucha bad mummy now! I put her in the other room this evening as i was scared she might hurt herself while i was cooking then i feel bad because im being cruel?

if the vehicles are taxed and insured im not sure there is alot you can do?

I am starting to wonder what happened to my cute little girl recently. I felt really in control and confident as a parent and in the past couple of weeks its like someone flicked a switch. If I run upstairs to grab my coat or something she will stand at the bottom of the stairs crying and screaming. cooking dinner in the evening is now proving impossible as she clings to me and screams. she wont eat a proper meal and if i try to help her she gets so angry. I ended up loosing my cool this evening, which I know is bad and then I started to cry, then I feel guilty as I dont want to appear weak infront of her etc etc. People talk about the terrible two's but I never realised tantrums could start this early on (she is my first child). has anyone got any practical advice on dealing with this? I feel terrible telling her off and wonder if she too young?

ive just ordered the ergo sport for our 14 months old. were going to to north wales in the summer so hopefully we can still put her in it at 18 months?

I did not want my daughter to have this vaccination and refused it, i still kept recieving appointment letters for her and had to keep ringing them to tell them I did not want her to have it. She has had all her other routine jabs though. I think there have been previous threads on this topic before, if you search?

I agree with "dollydaydream". yes that poor family have been utterly ripped off and the quality of work was totally unexcusable, but why pay all that money upfront? if I had a builder in who wanted that sort of money so quickly alarm bells would certainly start ringing!?

sillywoman: pleased to see we were not the only ones who noticed this. bit of shame really as the harvest festival service was lovely

we started attending st barnabas (dulwich village) which has a sunday school attached to it. despite trying to chat with others and become involved we didn't find it particuarly friendly (perhaps a bit clicky?). st johns seems like a pleasent church though (goose green) i dont know if they have a sunday school attached though?

i thought dominic littlewood was brilliant in this.

just watched this programme it actually made me feel quite emotional. How can that man sleep at night!!

It interesting to see how schools swing in round abouts. I have heard that Heber is over subscribed and is a good school? Obviously the subject of schools in east dulwich is something people feel very passionate about from reading other posts

do you think 14 months is too young to start introducing a potty? Im not being really strict with her but I give her opportunities to use it (we did do a number 2 the other night!).

this thread was "titled" east dulwich schools? so I do think (within reason) people should be allowed to express their opinions good and bad of local schools.

looks to me as if statistics and quotes from reports are being used a propaganda

I wondered if someone working at the school had started the thread!

someone started a strange thread a few days ago asking about problems at goodrich school. turns out the person who had started it only ever made that one post on this forum?

can anyone recommened a fun potty training story book that I could read to my daughter? want to make potty training relaxed and fun for her and she loves books......

Know someone who had a baby quite along time ago (8 years) and had a very good experience at Lewisham.

It may have been an idea to have rung the nursery to check that they had recieved your letter. Although I know Hindsight is a great thing. have you thought about looking for another nursery? annoying, but if the head is going to act so unprofessionally I would consider another option.

great idea for the royal wedding

hear hear havana

nope not for it to be closed down just "sorted out". However, this service is not "free", I think it is funded from the public purse?

yes to a waitrose or marks and spencer great

probably time it got sorted out. last time i went in there i found it dirty
