Eek this really puts of off getting an au-pair! I've seen some of the outfits they were and it seems to be a common threat... but they are young. Glad speaking to her seemed to resolve it, I think honestly and approaching this stuff in a kind way (especially if it's the first instance) is usually th...
Difficult because if your hubbie has a strong preference I'm not sure I would want to know... HOWEVER if he has a strong preference it might be better for him to find out now so that if it's a girl he has time to accept it before the baby comes.

Difficult because your feelings are valid but you should squash them and put the 7 year olds feeling first (as we do for our own kids all of the time) x
I had two babies at Georges and the delivery staff were amazing but the aftercare was AWFUL awful. One of the nurses literally ripped the cannula out of my hand because we disagreed about whether I needed it.

As they are so young I agree I think there might be different expectations, but if they were in their 30s it wouldn't be a big deal. Difficult to say but if you trust your d...
Does your nursery not allocate the funded hours? Mine deducts it from the monthly invoice (averaged out over the year). I personally think a nursery is a more one-to-one setting but it depends a lot on the two selections (nursery vs pre-school). Check the funded hours I don't know many nurseries who...
I had 2x kids at George's in 2018 and 2021 and the labour care was good, in some cases outstanding. Most of the midwives I had were exceptional. The aftercare for both was awful. They actually took my baby out of my room without my knowledge at one stage and I almost died of shock when I turned arou...
