Yeah people do put signs up. In the countryside usually lots of conservative ones outside farmers fields and in towns people will put labour or lib dem ones in their windows.

Lots of people where I live (london) have signs in their windows (didn't see any for reform thankfully)
Yes some people do.
Maybe its just me, but does anybody else find it weird that her parents usually tag along on short holidays etc? I have a wonderful relationship with my parents and we are really close but couldn't imagine them always tagging along. I am the same age as Zach and Saff and all my friends that already have children and do weekend-getaways rarely do that. Usually they give the children to the grandparents and let them stay there.
It is another freebie at a Pig , probs a family stay to promote (Haven't they been to a Pig before Gifted ?) Wonder if the parents are on the freebie too.
Yes but still, I do believe that makes it even weirder...
I wonder what Zack thinks of it? My in laws are fine but I wouldn’t want them along for almost every holiday. Maybe it’s because they help out with Margot
this. My boyfriend has a good relationship with my parents but we both made it quite clear that both of us don’t want each others parents always around.
Don't you find it comes across Zach is an under the Saff thumb, doormat?
There's been a BBC under cover investigation into the million pound baby sleep business! People setting up as sleep Consultants , cashing in on desperate parent. Advising on very bad, dangerous practices, some life threatening to the babies & going against NHS Guidelines
Remember Saff used one. Margot had to cry it out. There were a few comments and Saff's mother waded in defended saying she'd used one for baby Saff, nothing happened to her. Maybe it did. Saff is a very needy woman. Needed a serious bf young, needed to be married young, needed a baby young, needs her parents ALOT..definitely not an independent young woman. Could this stem from harsh baby sleep routines? Babies need close contact for reassurance and comfort not pushing away. I absolutely get it, I'm a mother..a mother of not geat sleeping babies and toddlers. We all need a break at times. My children settled with me or their Daddy.

Sleep training is weird to me (but I need to say I don't have children so..) but I follow a fi nish mum on instagram who lives in the US and did it and now says she heavily regrets it as her son (6/7 years old) has nightmares about being in trouble/crying out and noone coming to help. And she blames sleep training for this. Pretty terrifying
I don't have any kids so am wholly unqualified to have an opinion on sleep training. My instincts say it's cruel for a baby under 8 months or so but I know a friend of mine employed the method when her baby was around 10 months as she felt she was going insane with the lack of sleep.
I have multiple children ranging in different ages who are all great sleepers now. I done nothing different with any of them routine wise - we had a better routine when they were younger rather than now probably because now they get out of bed to tell me they have an itchy eyeball 
. However even with the same routine ( with some Lee way if we were going out or whatever) my youngest child wouldn’t bleeping sleep for love nor money to the point I had been up for 48 hours at one point and had to call Gran in to take them overnight so the rest of the house could sleep. I did end up doing cry it out with them because it was literally tearing my house apart - my point is I think if it’s a last resort for your household to get sleep to function it can be done - in a safe way. Not leaving kids screaming upset for hours on end but a firm right it’s bedtime now good night love you etc and walking away. I think until you’ve had a child that doesn’t EVER sleep it’s really hard to see yourself doing it because I certainly held the mindset of absolutely never would I.
also to add - said child now sleeps 13.5 hours a night so if anyone’s in the thick of it right now it does get better
Did she do really young ?

The cry it out method is horrible and babies don’t usually cry for nothing. It is hard having a baby with no sleep but it’s not a secret either and i think parents should put less pressure on the baby sleeping through the night and alter their routine instead. The obsession that a baby should sleep through the night and on their own in another room was/is a result of a patriarchal society.
I had bad sleepers. It took it toll on me mentally. The worst offender is now a teen and would sleep 15 hours a day at times!I have multiple children ranging in different ages who are all great sleepers now.

(now there is research on everything, apparently teens do need a lot if sleep - stand sto reason, really)Dont agree with cry it out. Definitely not for young babies, Margot was quite young, under 1yo. A friend of mine did it on her older baby /young toddler, it was in such a state and burst blood vessels in eye.
What they want is their parents. The smell, closeness, security..babies are in their mothers womb 9 months, curled up tight. Not advocating co sleeping from birth,definitely not.
I'm pretty sure Margot was about 5 months so very young but I might be wrong. I think there are some small and extreme circumstances where you have to do it for the sake of sanity but it would take me a lot longer than 5 months to get to that point... especially if I had loads of help like she does and it was my only baby.
My baby is 1 and a terrible sleeper and I still can't imagine doing cry it out.

Oh right I didn’t realise she was as young - my apologies my demon was 11.5 months
I don’t really care how she gets her daughter to sleep, what’s annoying though is that she portrayed everything as perfect and Margot as an angel who slept so well at the time, and only revealed that they were having problems (debatable if a five month old requiring settling to sleep is a “problem” but I digress) once she had solved said problems and could again declare her life to be perfect.
Around 5 months teeth are coming in, that disturbs sleep
It isn't the norm for babies to sleep all night! Their bodies are immature. The wind and god knows what cause them issues, then teething.
I really think it is madness expecting a baby to ssleepall night.
Then the toddler and younger child years my daughter experienced night terrors - coincidended with growth/hormonal surges. Then night itching in the privates. I was at the GP and pharmacy regularly for a few years! Then start school the nits and thread worms which cause agro at night!
