Looking at the Mailonline today I found this related to an article I was reading
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3 70266/A-plague-smug-Stay-At-Home-Mums.html

I found this highly insulting and although it was written in '05 before I was a mother I would still have found it insulting then, devaluing what my own Mother had done for me.
Just wondered what other people thought? Although, as Lowri says

'Still, at least we are functioning intellectually.

Too many full-time mothers allow their brains to go as soft as overcooked spaghetti. They are intellectually stunted by a steady sink into a totally child-centred life.'

The mental effort of writing this has drained me now....

What should a babys heartbeat be?

slipper socks

You can't. It's a done deal, lol, resistance is futile! I've just seen about 4 things on there that I desperately need, but curiously don't actually need at all. heh

Ditto.

And if I don't need them, then i know someone who does need them.... and it's nearly Christmas.....
Mr Nat will kill me.

Red, you are a bad influence. Tut tut.
Encouraging other people to spend more than they should does not somehow make you any less guilty.
