Re: 'borrowed' uncles and aunties..

My mum had the foresight years ago when we were kids not to force us to use the uncle / auntie epithet with anyone, blood relative or not. She thought that when we were all adults it would feel daft to have to call other adults uncle or auntie, so why do it as children (and I think she didn't much f...

Re: Childcare Vouchers

my husband never got round to cancelling his, so we managing to collect quite a stockpile of them. However we are slowly working our way through them by paying for after school clubs and breakfast club. I have a feeling that if you don't use them at all there is nothing you can do, and in fact one t...

Re: Mums advice needed

First of all, you're not over-reacting. Life's too short to spend your waking hours with an idiot. But - you've only been there a couple of days. Maybe you should give it a little more time to settle down? He and the rest of the team are only just getting used to you, and you are only just getting b...

Re: Pocket money- what is the going rate?

I'm interested in this one too! Mine are 6 1/2 and almost 5. Haven't started on pocket money yet, but the principle of owning their own money has been introduced as my eldest has lost a few teeth and received £1 for each from the tooth fairy. As a result I have started to wonder if I should have sta...

Re: Which three days to work?

Is it easier/harder to arrange a nanny on certain days? On that particular point, one thing to bear in mind is that there are an awful lot of part-time working mums who have Fridays off, so whilst momormum is right that you should think about coinciding days off with friends (and Friday might there...

Re: Fracking?

er - Tbrooks, what's that got to do with the thread? We don't mind you advertising your business, and in fact NVN is a great place to find services such as yours, but spamming your ad on the end of an unrelated thread is just the sort of thing that will irritate people and make them go elsewhere on ...

Re: Children's photographer?

One more recommendation for you - http://jonnymp.com/family-photography/ Jonny did a family shoot for us in Richmond park in the summer and the pictures are just gorgeous. We got over 120 superb shots on a CD at the end of it, and are now agonising over which ones to frame as they are all so good! h...

Do you want to share our FANTASTIC nanny?!

We are incredibly lucky to have our nanny, our children adore her, and I trust her implicitly. However this September my youngest goes to school, and we will have to reduce our termtime childcare hours. Our nanny needs to stay employed full-time, so we are hoping to find a family to share her with -...

Re: How many kids do you invite and how many turn up?

Just had my daughter's 4th birthday party, and because she currently goes to the nursery at her older brother's school, she has a pool of 42 classmates... Since she has not yet formed firm friendships and plays with any or all of them on different days of the week, it was impossible to cut the list ...
