    Chapter 1: How to survive the nursery run in a deprived area.

    I think our area counts as deprived.

    I can do a guide for surviving the posh nursery when you aint posh.

    1, do not expect anyone to have any manors, holding open a door is not theri job and if you do it, you must be staff.

    2, children must be quiet and perfectly dressed at all times, any sign of individuality is frowned upon.

    3, hat, scarf, gloves, shoes and coat must always match and be of a dark colour. Girls may have a spritzy bit of glitter but no bright colours.

    4, children are expected to play only when appropriate and only if it is educational to do so. Colouring is a good activity, but only in pencil. Crayons, felt tips and pens are frowned upon for the messy potential.

    5, children must attend singing, swimming, gymnastics, modern dance (slutty as possible for girls) and a music class each week. Mothers must always join in and demonstrate how they sang a certain note and impressed the tutor when in the waiting area, waiting, of course, till the waiting area is full.

    6, if a child is seen displaying inappropriate behaviour (playing outside of structured play activities) the parents must be notified immediately by text, email, phone call and sky writer as well as as many people reminding them as possible.

    7, one must never acknowledge ones husband standing with his hands down another childs Mother at any time.

    8, of course we are privileged enough to use the car park thats clearly states 'no parking except staff and visitors'. Blindness to yellow lines of any sort or shape should also be cultivated.

    9, a strict dress code applies to all Mothers at all times. High heels, white carpri slacks, tight twin set, brown artificial tan, dyed hair, a jaunty hat, belt or bag and full make up. Any non adherence to this dress code will result in immediate shunning.

    tia, you make me laugh!

    chopsticks - I've just thought of something re: sleep. At that age LO liked to have a nap every 2 hours, pretty much on the button. Then she lengthened out her sleeps to just two a day, morning and after lunch.

    However, as your LO sleeps well at night, I wouldn't worry too much about her daytime sleep as this will fluctuate and change lots over the next few months. Be very grateful for your evenings and night time sleep - AF and I are very jealous!

    elle - I prescribe (no this isn't medical advice people!) Some proper carb loaded dinners. Please eat a huge bowl of maccaroni cheese for tea (as I did last night). My size 8's are nearly 10's so I know it works ;)
