    I wish all these comments came with an accurate photograph of how the poster looks right now.

    What do you think of people who let their kids run wild in public?

    Also - if 'singing loudly in a supermarket whilst contained in a trolley' is your idea of a child running wild - never procreate

    What do you think of people who let their kids run wild in public?

    I have a toddler who sings loudly in supermarkets. She doesn't have a disability, she isn't in need of discipline - she's just a kid. Sometimes they're loud. In fact I'm sure that developmentally the concept of 'being quiet vs being loud' is a pre-school age thing. If this kid was in a trolley...

    Parents - How old were you when your first child was born?

    I was 26 and my husband was 27. We're Southerners now, but Midlanders by birth! We agreed that we'd want me to look after any children (rather than handing them off to childcare) so it had to be at a time when we could afford to have just one income for 4+yrs. We'd been married for 4.5yrs and...

    New Kitchen and Bathroom time- any recommendations?

    We had wren units with ikea wooden tops - the builder said they were both great to work with and from our point of view they were a good price, look great and very functional!

    Cupboard door child locks

    We have an almost 2yo who loves going in the cupboards and fridge and freezer. I've moved all fragile and dangerous stuff to top shelves tand cupboards hat she can't reach and just let her go in and out of the other ones. It soon looses its novelty!

    Breastfeeding in restaurants

    Jono8 and Dasyad - I assume you like having a shroud over your head while you eat? My daughter wouldn't feed if covered - she would just try and touch/lift the fabric, and fuss about it. If you're saying it's ok to cover the baby, would it also be acceptable to cover the head of those easily...

    Breastfeeding in restaurants

    Will a baby survive if waiting 10/15minutes or an hour to feed? Yes, probably. Will it thrive? Will it be happy? Contented? Tolerable company in Claridges? That's more doubtful.

    Breastfeeding in restaurants

    [TW Fox] breastfeeding on demand (also known as cue feeding or demand feeding) is an evidence based but baby led feeding 'schedule' with proven benefits. So in my case it certainly is an imperative to feed as soon as the baby asks for it

    Breastfeeding in restaurants

    I'm currently breastfeeding my 20 month old daughter (and will continue to do so until she weans) so yeah, I support public breastfeeding. The law protects mothers who are legally allowed to breastfeed anywhere they are legally allowed to be. I have fed my daughter in 5* hotel restaurants, a...

    Can I afford a mortgage?

    I don't think LOAMs advice takes into account the new terms (as per this summers changes) we're looking to borrow 22% of the value of the property we're buying and are still being fully scrutinised!

    Wren Kitchens - How much discount?

    IIRC we got 60% off units (bought appliances and work tops elsewhere for a better price) We had great service from them and loved the kitchen. A friend (who spent far more than we did, far bigger kitchen) ummed and ahhed over her decision for ages, having a few designs done - they sent her...

    Warner Goodman Conveyancing

    Yep, sold our house with them (and bought it with them 5yrs previously) this May-July. No issues, everyone we dealt with was very pleasant, other than that they send letters out first class (rather than recorded or special) and therefore can take a few days to arrive - which could have caused...

    Decent in-ear headphones

    My husband raves about his Shure SE846 with custom ACS in-ear moulds - they certainly answer one part of your brief if not the other :D

    Spec me a turntable

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this seemed more appropriate that starting a new one! Who those of you with the Rega RP1 - can you recommend me an online retailer for it? There doesn't seem to be much choice and I want to make sure I buy from someone reputable! The other option - a...
