Supernanny Jo Frost has sparked a social media furore by questioning if some parents are 'lazy' and 'enabling'. The parenting expert and TV personality took to Twitter to list a number of problems, including toddlers still using dummies, teachers potty training children and parents still wiping their 7-year-old's bottom. She asked other parents what they thought, and her message attracted a huge number of replies. Many supported her logic and agreed it's unacceptable, while others said it's unfair to criticise parents.

And if I were here I’d find it really irritating." A third person said: "Hideous. And I always feel sorry for the baby wearing them. It's probably irritating but they can't say to get it off!" While another was also concerned it would be uncomfortable for the child. They said: "I … [Read more...] about Mum sparks angry debate by asking ‘are headbands on babies chavvy?’ after her husband brands the accessory ‘trashy’
