YOU calling MY baby 'chavvy?'

I think not!
You might have read in my previous post that Baby E is currently wearing Ear Buddies.  The tape is not a pretty sight especially once it has become worn. 
I therefore decided to buy some headbands to help cover the tape and splint..I must add I was super inspired by Aspiring Kennedy's super cute little lady who has been rocking to headgear lots.
SOO my little lady has a few of her own to wear

Everyone comments how wonderful they are and how cute they make her look.  
I therefore, wanted to buy some more so did a Google search and accidentally stumbled upon a long thread on Mumsnet that was super BITCHY.

'NOMOREBOOZE' started the thread with.....'it really annoys me when i see cute little babies wearing chav elastic hairbands, why oh why do people put them on there babies when they have no hair, it looks stupid!!!!!!!!! argggggggggggggggg.x'

The entire thread had something like 339 other comments (most negative). It took everything in me not to 'stoop' to their level and post pics of my baby girl asking if they thought she looked 'chavvy'.  It also took almost everything not to comment on how 'CHAV TASTIC' someone called NOMOREBOOZE was.
What defines 'chavvy' anyways?
After my initial annoyance simmered down I started to think how crazy it is that SO many woman...mothers presumably...had THAT kind of time to write and then respond to a thread about headbands...339 comments? 
REALLY GET A LIFE PEOPLE? Are they THAT bad?

BUT maybe I need to get a life for taking the time to read these bloody threads..

OK rant done..almost
I think that Baby E looks cute and if a group of mums 'snigger' that she looks chavvy when they see her then so be it..

  1. I am surprised at the thread on mumsnet. I think they look lovely! Chavvy is a horrid word anyway but they certainly don't look at all like that to me.

  2. I wouldn't worry about the forums on there, they are notorious for controversy and these people obviously have nothing better to do - poor them! She looks gorgeous x

  3. Much as I love the Mumsnet Bloggers network, I can't bear their chatrooms / forums and give them a wide birth because they seem to be a place where people who manage to lead quite normal and non bitchy lives throw all caution to the wind, vent their spleen and spew their bile!

    Cute photos btw #MBPW

  4. Oh she looks so sweet! I think your selection are adorable (quite fancy a couple myself). Chat rooms are notorious for bringing out the worst in people so I would totally ignore. Who cares what a bunch of strangers think anyway!

  5. I don't think they look chavvy. If I am honest I wouldn't put my baby in a headband but thats not because they are 'chavvy', they just aren't something I would put them in. Lots of my friends put their little girls in them and I think they look gorgeous. Your daughter looks beautiful in hers xx
