Seafour, for her utter made up ridiculous tales of woe and health crises. It was amazing, like a terrible Danielle Steel medical novel.

You do know all nurseries are different? Some are shit like the ones you worked in (I've never worked in a nursery where the children don't learn or have fun)

Plus if you are a qualified and experienced nursery practitioner you would know children learn through play and continue to do so up until year 1. Even reception is largely play based.

And sending your child to nursery doesnt mean you dont bond with them

Or is this a post where you are writing a pretend post that would appear on Mumsnet where it's just a way to continually slag off the early years provisions and attempt to make parents who use them feel guilty?!

Genuine faves: GoldenOmber, jourdain11 (might have got the number wrong), HesterShaw1 and a poster called something like Orangeblossom67 who I think has either left or namechanged because I haven't seen her username in ages. All of them were really nice to me at various points when I was struggling at the start of the pandemic and I've never forgotten it. If any of you on this thread are one of them then thanks

Entertaining fave: I secretly kinda love Xenia, in a guilty sort of way

I've realised that people referring to their children as 'little one' makes me irrationally angry.
Same here. Although I'll see and raise you with LG (little girl) or the fucking worst of all. LM (little man). Ugh.

On a par with people calling babies sexy.

I’m actually crying laughing that a very determined lunatic is attempting a smear campaign against M&S via various mumsnet threads and MNHQ are scrambling around deleting and banning them every time.

It reminds me of the guy who kept phoning in some day time tv show one morning about ‘that bitch Sharon Maidstone’

god, is she still going? She’s a fucking moron who thinks she’s some kind of truth machine and plays it for getting “cool” points.
Unpopular opinion: I couldn't stand her until recently but think she's got less bad over the last year or two, is that just me? It helps that she seems to post much less on the Relationships board (not hard considering it used to be practically a full time job for her).

Anyone remember when she got temp banned and everyone changed their names to similar things in protest? So fucking embarrassing, I think even she told them to knock it off because she was mortified.

I think the m&s poster is Aldi CEO, working with Colin the caterpillar to bring down M&S.

Well her husband married her best friend... and they all live together. Apparently.
That thread she’s dying and no one is bothered, even the sock puppets don’t pop up anymore I got banned over questioning that stupid made up nonsense. More holes than Swiss cheese

ohhhh that's a good call, I hadn't made the connection but it is a rambling saga with a whole cast of characters, I think you're right

I have a suspicion that she might have a husband, one who’s ill at the wrong time. But who knows?

That’s just reminded me that a while back there was a poster with a relentless grudge against maxi cosi who started repeated threads about how they had endangered her baby’s life (which they in fact hadn’t).
Wonder if this is the same obsessive loon, or just a similar type?

Oh she’s definitely around in other guises, but sadly hasn’t come up with anything gripping for a long time
She recently made another attempt at a multi-thread illness saga but not many people bought into it. By the end it was mainly propped up by sock-puppeting. There was some rubbish about being scammed by a fake job offer too, just to try to branch out.

I can’t post an Mn link, but this Reddit link discussing her latest incarnation might work

From the Reddit link
'She writes sooooooooo much fluff I can’t work out if she’s declared what she’s dying from. I am worried she’ll die from using all the words in the English dictionary soon though.'



She also was at deaths door with covid, under various guises, single mother with teen boy and so on.
She was singing and updating her fan club throughout...got called out on it needless to say.

It was actually a very funny thread because some posters were calling her out while pretending to be sympathetic. It got deleted so I had to actually do something useful that day instead of laughing my head off. Damn it.

Early years practitioner here. Thank you Yes children learn through play, so of course we encourage play, play and play
