So all you can really say was that the oldest kid who wasn't toilet trained was 15. We aren't told if there was more than one nappy wearer of that age

So this could have been a single kid per school per year in 9% of the sampled schools?

so... 1,600 5-7 year olds still in nappies, out of around 2 million 5-7 year-olds in England

that's hardly an epidemic!

Cos mothers are supposed to devote their every waking hour to serving the needs of their offspring. Dads are ok to do their own thing tho, kids only need mums as slaves.


And before you say your comment was gender neutral, not many guys I know do spa pamper days.

Your interpretation not mine, but you're right to the extent that men do narcissism differently.

Ditto mothers.


So, RPC are you saying that parents doing pamper/spa/me time type stuff are narcissistic?


Do you think that parents should put their kids at the centre of their universe and devote all their energy to them?


Just interested because I'd rather top myself than feel obliged to become that kind of parent or I'd want to kill the bratty, self-absorbed kids that kind of parenting produces.

Happy to oblige.


On the shouting/fist-waving, how is that different from any other thread?

    • Ok thanks, I will ask the GP. Sorry, I know I post on here a lot/too much, but I'm not going into my medical issues on here. If I could find the information I need online, I obviously wouldn't need to see a dietician! Thanks for trying to help, though x
    • We had two air con units fitted with the heat pump mounted on the back wall.  one indoor unit in the loft and one in the kitchen/diner.  would not have been able to sleep in this heat in the loft without it - absolutely love it.  We have solar+batteries so with the amount of sun we having then its covering the cost of the aircon.  we used Progas Heating Services Ltd, 176 Sydenham road, London, SE26 5JZ Tel: 020 8 676 0101 [email protected] they were brilliant.  quick and straightforward to deal with.  highly recommend.  cost was ballpark £5k all in.  was quite a bit of chasing pipework into the walls and running pipes from the heat pump to the 2 units.  
    • Probably a daft question but does Chacarero not sell chacareros?
    • Sue , yes the NHS do employ dieticians.i used to see a lovely one ,Orla, at St Thomas's.
