But that would require her having social interaction. With other parents. So it's not going to happenShe'll drop a hundred dollars on a hidious sweater but doesn't want to "spend a fortune" on toys? "Well the baby has these dusty blinds to play with and I'm covered in overpriced crochet nipples. Everyone is happy."
She is the queen of weird takes. Instead of just saying "I loved unconventional play things as a kid, they are good for imagination." Which is relatable and insightful. She has to phrase it like some twisted purity mantra. "PEOPLE and THINGS (exploring.connecting) are ALL they need." She says she hates black and white thinking but everything that comes out of her mouth is black and white.
Also, Miss environmentally friendly hasn't heard of a community swap? My neices and nephews just inherited their toys. Usually parents are pretty good about lending/giving/selling baby stuff once it's outgrown. Especially infant stuff.
On another note: Thomas still hasn't done his swim 10 days after the deadline. Water temperature is at over 11°C at the moment in Skerries, according to the internet. Not comfortable but absolutely doable.
Melanie also hasn't made her monthly donation so far and it has been over a month now. Any bets on if/when the swim or donation from Melanie will happen?
