wow, Martin, take it easy...
I think you need a sit down and a nice cup of (loose leaf) tea after that...
Is this forum turning into cheap therapy for some people?

Sorry, been looking at baby websites and i gotta add....
102. Pointless baby educating things/methods - NO my baby does not need sign language, mother´s intuition will suffice. NO my baby does not need squeaky shoes to encourage her to walk, humankind has managed that sort of thing for about hmmmm a long time. BABY ENSTEIN....don´t even get me started on those fascists.
Rant over.....
