Sorry Bizzy, my sanity check is a flat white and the Herald in a child friendly cafe so that DS is amused enough between his fluffy and the play equipment for me to manage most of the front section.

I think 'whats hot' is different for different people and at different times - as someone who has just moved back to Auckland from Vietnam with two toddlers, any ideas of where I can get them out of the house without driving others crazy is great... especially as when we left Auckland for Vietnam we had no kids and so my old 'haunts' are no longer appropriate!]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2011 08:47:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40098&PID=1373313&title=really-thats-whats-hot#1373313 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40098&PID=1373299&title=really-thats-whats-hot#1373299 Author: Bizzy

Hot Topic i guess implies something different to me. Maybe its the name i have problems with, cafes and baby smiles and stuff like that are after all things that have been talked about on here and other boards since well parenting boards began i suppose.

Is complaining about the hot topic a little like complaining about a TV show and needing to be reminded that you can change the channel or turn the TV off? I also consider myself an 'intelligent' woman but I come on this site largely on the premise that it is about pregnancy, babies, children and all things related to that - if I desire riveting debate about the separation of Sudan or the downgrading of America's credit rating there are plenty of other avenues for that...]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:26:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40098&PID=1373163&title=really-thats-whats-hot#1373163 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40098&PID=1372885&title=really-thats-whats-hot#1372885 Author: peachy

Hi Bizzy :)
Sometimes Hot Topics can be light and some can be topical...
The intention of the first one was to share some ncie warm fuzzies...
I don't know about you but I'm tired of depressing news in the media all the time, and I figured that what makes you smile is a nice topic to make other people share their happiness.
The Cafe one was inspired by conversation in the office here about where to take the kids - so it was a Hot topic in the office here at least :)
They don't have to be hard line Hot topics - they can become a drag sometimes, that's not to say they don't have their place and we'd LOVE to hear some topics that you'd like to have as HOT topics :) we'd be more than happy to work with them :)

Equally we'd love some hot topics that help us all to feel encouraged and inspired :)
Thanks!

@nathansmummy, a friend from coffee group reckoned that Windsor cafe had a policy which meant you couldnt bring in your own food for your kiddies. Have you ever found this?
I have heard that the Library Cafe is the same- though Ive been there, it was when I was still only BFding. ]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 08:28:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40098&PID=1372693&title=really-thats-whats-hot#1372693 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40098&PID=1372663&title=really-thats-whats-hot#1372663 Author: nathansmummy

Kiddy friendly cafes - definitely should be more of them! But even if I venture over to Windsor Cafe I have to grab my coffee in a takeaway cup and run around after him - and it's a big area! Used to take him to cafes when he's a baby but now he's a toddler I only go when he's not around!!! I guess we're all interested in different things. That's the beauty of being able to start your own thread!

If you don't like it don't comment on it... It's up to the people who run the site what questions they ask. What's important to some might not be to others, doesn't make you any less or more intelligent....

Lol I've never cared what cafes were kiddy friendly,probably because 9 years ago when I had my first you just took your baby to whatever cafe you were going to,yes,its good that they have more kid friendly ones now,but I cant say Im on the look out for them,I never read the threads that don't interest me.

What a good idea to introduce a Hot Topic but come on, is your fave cafe really a HOT topic?

Surely the price of milk and the commerce commission being unable to come to a decision on wether an inquiry should be made is a hot topic!? Or even the RWC and how it is going to affect you?

I am an intelligent woman as are most of us on here (barring the few men we get occasionaly lol!) and cafes and baby smiles arent hot topics and they arent all my life is about and all i am capable of thinking about.]]> Thu, 04 Aug 2011 13:07:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40098&PID=1371394&title=really-thats-whats-hot#1371394
