Oooh Eeer! Sad to have missed that one.

Have very mixed feelings about Mumsnet. Once had a really upsetting time when posting for advice about a rescue dog we had to 'return' because he kept going bonkers and started snapping at everyone. Was made to feel like a dreadful human being (several posters were on the dog's side - Erm Mum's-Net? or Dog's-Net?!)

But I have learned not to post much re: CM issues, as there is always at least one parent on there with an axe to grind.

Very interesting seeing it from two different perspectives though - parent and CM.

I tend to steer clear these days - but did take part when Truss was one there a couple of months ago.

news came through about mrs thatcher so debate didnt really get going in my opinion

i never reply on mumsnet but am often saddened to see so much negativity towards childminders
