"Parenting is not black and white, you don’t NEED the material shit or thousands of pounds to make it work. Save your money for when your sproglet reaches 17 months old and discovers how to throw a tantrum, you can invest in an alcohol habit to get you through it. Ahem."
Amen.
I think we're birds of a feather, apart from the pets (I'm not in to caging animals, zoos make me so sad).
