Anyone in Dorset / The New Forest? (south coast.)

[Mimi]

I have yet to find any normal people here!
I moved to Christchurch a year ago ( from germany.) ,
& I have not yet met anyone I would like to be friends with.
People here seem to constantly yell at their children, hit them,
push them or just ignore them.
(or take them to the playground & tell them not to play in the sand.)
I also seem to be the only mama in the area who wears her baby in a sling
& believes in Gentle Discipline.
Anyone out there?

[Mimi]

Oh wow! I actually honestly thought I was the only one in this whole huge area!
I am so sad right now that I don't drive!
How are you doing?

[Mimi]
