Always thought M&B mag was an ok read but this month when showcasing ridiculously out of budget family getaways, they say the following:
"If there's one thing guaranteed to kill the mood, it's having a travel cot at the foot of the bed from where you hear the snuffles of your sleeping baby. And while it's tempting to squeeze the cot into the bathroom or even the wardrobe (trust us, we've been there), it's infinitely preferable to stay somewhere with an adjoining room."
Er, hello? WTF? Is it just me who finds this shocking? No one likes to pour themselves a wine more than me once the kids are in bed but I think the key word here is FAMILY getaway.
Surely if you are going to put your baby in a wardrobe (a wardrobe?) then surely they would need better off at the grandparents instead of risking "killing the mood."
Genuinely shocked by this - especially as I usually laugh at how unrealistic the mag is sometimes about being the perfect parent. Plus on the front cover of the same issue, they say: 'Make every second count with your kids.'
Er yeah, maybe start with not sticking them in a wardrobe.
Do like the Style Tracker section though. Amazing coat from Zara featured this month on Marissa Carter from Beauty Brand, Cocoa Brown. Anyone else seen this, or tried her products?
