Re: Should I speak to parent or school about bullying?

This can be a very emotive topic. I had this issue at school and went to the head teacher. Unbeknownst to me my husband spoke to one of the parents. It all kicked off and I got sent to Coventry. It was like being back at school in the playground although it never actually happened to me at school! ...

Re: Everyone's Invited

Both of my kids went to private schools and this is an on-going problem. I also know that kids don’t tell their parents everything. I personally feel that the schools should make it safer to report these instances, and punishment should be harsher to act as a deterrent. This is also happening at Un...

Re: Neighbour has cleaner? Is this allowed?

Definitely no. Having a cleaner is not deemed essential. If you aren’t allowed other family members then a cleaner is a big no no. The longer people don’t take this seriously, the longer we will have to continue like this.

Re: Husband thinks I'm an idiot

Honey, I am so sorry you are going through this. It is awful and a horrid place to be.  I have been there and I totally understand. I was a stay at home mum and so had no independent income. I did stay with my husband for quite a while and all I can tell you is that it is not a fun place to be. Plu...

Re:

Considering there are doctors and nurses working with very seriously ill people without any protective gear at the moment I think you and your child will be fine. If NHS staff are not wearing protective gear working with very seriously ill people, are you talking about coronavirus patients? All NHS...

Re: SPEEDING PETITION - CAN YOU HELP US BY SIGNING? TIA!

There are a lot of very fast drivers around. I see it on Bollingbroke Grove. It may be frustrating having to drive at 20 miles an hour, but it is to save lives. Saying you are complaining just because you don't want people driving in your road shows they really don't get what you are saying.  Perha...

Re: How big is the academic gap between Honeywell and Newton Prep?

Having had kids at both Honeywell and private schools I can say there is definitely a difference. Honeywell is a great school but if you want your child to go to a private secondary school, then private schools are more likely to prepare them. Honeywell parents may start tutoring their kids from ye...

Re: dreading xmas because of my mean sister in law

I have had a similar situation with my MIL and unfortunately when I mentioned it to my hubby, he either said he didn’t notice anything or I was being over sensitive.  I love Happy Sunshine’s suggestions of how to respond, I will definitely use these next time.  I think the fact that if any family m...

Re: New partner is overly strict with his son

I think the fact that you are writing this, suggests it is a red flag for you.  I always try to heed my red flags, as I haven't so much in the past, and in hindsight wish I had.  To view an 8-year-old as an embarrassment would seriously worry me, as boys are even younger for their age than girls are...

Re: Separated and going on holiday?

I am really sorry that you are going through this. I am also, although have no holidays booked. Sadly my ex has decided not to be friendly and does not want to do any family socials together, whilst I was still fine to be amicable (even though he is the one who caused the divorce). So to be honest, ...
