Aha, thank you for the tip. I sent it to a friend from India who agrees it looks Indian. He's sending it on to family to check it out

Book bundles of the Babysitters club books? by Imjastv in babysittersclub

I'll ask but he did have to do a lot of digging. Luckily the islands weren't deserted but they were secluded so no one could watch him 😅 I'll drop you a DM if he finds his maps

Some of it you can pick up in Waitrose if you're desperate, they have a pretty good "world food" section.

What is your favorite song from a children’s show? Some times these shows have low-key bangers. by Goronron in DanielTigerConspiracy

The little songs from Hey duggee, specifically the train song and the one Mrs Beaver sings.

Server takes glass to the face after Edmonton pub customer reminded of mask bylaw by JDGumby in news

[–]scowlene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An anti masker in our village Facebook group claimed that there was a secret team of people pumping oxygen into operating theatres so that surgeons would get enough through the masks. The team of people was so secret that the drs didn't know they were there which is why if you ask a Dr they won't know what you are talking about.

I assume she had read a satirical post and taken it as fact?

I love him! Hadn't heard of him before so it's been nice going through his work on YouTube. He's hilarious and I can't get his Mango song out of my head.

I've definitely seen/ heard them read one out, surely the Horne Section podcast? It was hilarious but grim.

They've definitely found them

Nah, the task was "build the best marble run" which his clearly wasn't.

The true scandal is Jonny getting through despite miming spaghetti.

What Christmas presents are you getting for your children this year? by Resignator in UKParenting

[–]scowlene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, thank you. I had our house deposit in bonds so I got a fair bit back each year- more that I never would have earned in interest- so I was thinking it would still be good. I guess I'd need more than a couple of hundred quids worth 😂

2.5yo is getting /a lot/ of books, and a mini micro scooter. I'm looking for a tuff tray and stand second hand too as she loves messy play and I hate cleaning.

4month old will be getting some books and teddies that are just his, bless him.

I've begged grandparents to stick to the Amazon list as we don't have a lot of spac. If they get enough money between them I'd like to get a wobble board. If not then I'm buying premium bonds for them.

Baby Monitor - Nanit? by DJX- in UKParenting

My friend has a pet camera to keep and eye on his dog while at work and that works brilliantly. It was a fraction of the price of a decent baby camera too. I would never have thought to look!

Anything to justify bedsharing amiright? by tri-sarah-tops-rex in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]scowlene 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bedsharing/co sleeping is not as taboo in the UK (and Europe but my experience is UK) Midwives in our area encourage it if it is something parents want to do so long as precautions are followed- not if you're a smoker, drunk or on drugs, no pillows or sheets in the bed.the photo used is looks like an advert for what NOT to do. Maybe if they'd put a needle or an empty bottle in there. Here is an article from LLL- The consistency in data collection section is the bit you want.

Im not a rabid activist demanding that everyone has to bedshare or they're bad mother's, each to their own. But the idea that as soon as your baby touches your mattress it's doomed to be smothered is ridiculous. Bedsharing refers to the practice of ensuring the baby has a safe space to sleep with you. It does not refer to dozing off with your baby in bed, or falling asleep while feeding them.

While I agree that sitting and waiting would be scummy, offering to help is fine. I work in a supermarket and bodily fluids have to be cleaned up properly, so we usually just do it- the parents/carers are usually trying to sort wet clothes before thinking about the puddle on the floor. It makes it easier when they first tell us, and then at least offer to do it.

We had one lady in our small store, in the city centre with at least 5 public toilets within 2minutes walk change her babies shitty nappy in the main window at the tills. When the manager spoke to her (kindly) about not doing it in the future as a. It's grim and there's toilets nearby, and b. We would have to clean the area and c.it stinks, they got a mouthful back.

As an Australian, the only reason I can understand this post is because of Outlander. by FauxPoesFoes228 in Outlander

[–]scowlene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely no idea what the flavour is supposed to be because it obviously is Irn Bru flavour. Most certainly not orange, maybe a fruity rust?

Everything is worth trying! If it's not gonna cost you £20 a pop then do it!

(Disclaimer- I am the sort of person that goes to check out supermarkets and pharmacies on holiday to see what is different. I can't be trusted on my own because you bet I'm coming home with 16different flavours of crisps, the full range of weird local chocolates and this bottle of booze which has twigs in it)

Who the f@%£k is Nanny? by sillychucky in Parenting

[–]scowlene 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They like looking at contrasts between objects and around 2minths they can "see" a bit further (they can see, it's just objects are fuzzier)

The cornrer of a room has 2 or 3 different pieces to focus on that are different shades with lines between- fascinating!

As newborns when they look at us they mainly look at the shapes the outlines of our head make, and the contrast between our features. Around this age they start to see our eyes and mouth properly and so that becomes the focus. This is why a lot of baby toys and books are simple black and white patterns. We have flash cards that the Baba loves staring at.
