Re: Staff member refusing to return to the office

Thank you for this response. You’ve touched on all the right issues. I was too shocked at the post to address anything other than the bullying.

Re: Staff member refusing to return to the office

How incredibly unprofessional you are to post about this woman’s confidential working arrangements on social media. It’s inappropriate and offensive. You have an HR team. I wonder what they would say about you posting this on social media, along with dismissive emojis implying this woman has lied ab...

Re: What does prep offer in terms of study skills?

I remember the Headmistress at my daughter’s prep school telling the parents at one of the introductory sessions that if money is going to be tight, save it for high school. It’s not just the fees at prep school, it’s the extras - clubs, donations, events and activities. Uniform is also expensive an...

Re: Organising assets from previous relationships ahead of marriage

There is nothing wrong with approaching finances and property in an unromantic and pragmatic way. You have been divorced once before and (sorry to say) the statistics tell us that the chances of divorce the second time around are even higher, especially when there are children involved. I would see ...

Re: Stepping in as class rep to sort a party 'situation' is this my role?

I am shocked this is being asked too. It’s absolutely not a job for a class rep to ask host parents to invite uninvited children to their child’s birthday. If your child is not invited to something, they need to accept that and move on. You cannot ask someone to invite you or complain when they don’...

Re: How do I deal with daughter's very badly behaved friend

None of this little girl’s behaviour is normal or acceptable. Whatever issues she has are not your problem, you need to protect your child and your family. I’m horrified that she has tried to blackmail you. Never allow her in your home again, and keep your daughter away from her. I’d contact the sch...

Re: Thomas’ parents - STOP PARKING on YELLOW LINES

The school run isn’t a short journey for everyone. It’s the only reason I need a car.

Re: Thomas’ parents - STOP PARKING on YELLOW LINES

Some parents do this on Fulham Road outside Kensington Prep too. It’s infuriating for everyone, including parents like me who take the time and effort to park legally. The school often sends notices to parents asking them not to do it too. Some people are just selfish.

Re: How do I broach the subject of being owed money with a close friend.

I think the best way is to directly ask for it. Send a message (WhatsApp or text) asking “hi X! Hope you are well! Please would you transfer £x today, being your half of the bill for the villa. Thanks so much! Xx” I find it rude they haven’t paid you back immediately, but now you’re in the position ...

Re: Husband has taken the kids away without consent after an argument

I really sympathise. What a bully. This is abuse and you don’t have to accept it. I’d recommend my divorce lawyer, Polly Barklem. She was excellent. Email address is: polly@thea.ltd.uk Good luck and don’t let your husband set the frame for this - he doesn’t get to call the shots, especially where yo...

Re: Gwendolen House and Noddys nursery - reviews

This reply may be a little late. We accepted a place at Noddy's a couple of weeks before getting an offer at GH. We were disappointed as GH was our first preference. We are now at Noddy's and have been unhappy with a few things. First of all an email was circulated to parents a couple of weeks ago i...
