Re: Husband having affair???

Beautiful Bella, I am so sorry you are having to go through this. An awful, uncertain time for you and your little one. Whatever is going on, he is not trying to cover it up too much or being v subtle. When men have affairs, I believe they often become supernice and attentive to assuage their guilt ...

Re: Parents will help with school fees but want to decide on the school

I have experience of this situation. You may think my response is over the top but I have one word for you: Don't. It has been very bad news for us. It has caused terrible conflict, anger and resentment. It has come between my husband and me. It has damaged the children's relationships with their gr...

Re: Advice re going from 2 to 3

Isn't the question here why you want a third child...what it means to you and your partner. Is there a gap in your life that you hope this child will fill? Are there issues you are avoiding by having another child? What are your dreams and ambitions for the future and how will a third child work wit...

Re: Advice needed - feeling vulnerable

PS Just re-read your post and noted that you are having couples counselling. Do tell the counsellor how things are going and that you do not feel the counselling is being effective. In my experience couples counselling is incredibly difficult and it is hard to find a really good therapist. Perhaps y...

Re: Advice needed - feeling vulnerable

I would not normally recommend a self help book but recently read Sue Johnson's Hold Me Tight and it has really helped my marriage. I even managed to sort out a difficult situation with my husband over Christmas which could easily have ended in a major row. The book explains clearly the negative cyc...

Re: Private school with best results / destinations.

You don't mention distance from home. My children are older now but if I had my time again I would definitely chose schools closest to my home. It is so much better for children to have friends nearby and not to spend too long in the car or bus morning and evening. We all want the best of our childr...

Re: Birthday Party table rental

Could you ask his or her nursery school, your church, if it has a Sunday school or playgroup if you could borrow their tables and chairs? I have done this for parties at home and it has worked well, in exchange for a small donation to funds. Hope the party goes well!

Re: Counsellor after affair

I am so sorry you are facing this, GirlAloud. My partner and I are working through a similar crisis at the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships (TCCR) which is based at Warren Street.

Re: Positive discrimination being battled by public schools

My own experience and that of friends suggest to me there are just as many undesirables (ie neglected, wild and unhappy children) at private schools as there are at state schools. One difference appears to be that the privately educated ones have more cash and seem to be able to get themselves and t...

Re: Bedwetting Alarms

I bought one of these alarms over the internet from a charity and it was no use to us. My son hated it and it never seemed to go off when it should. I tried to get him referred to an enuresis nurse but she had left and not been replaced so in the end we were referred to St George's. We had one appoi...

Re: Positive discrimination being battled by public schools

Cameron tells us in his speech to the Tory party conference that he wants every child to have a great education and that his mission is not to defend privilege but to spread it. Surely the best way to do this is to abolish all private schools, channeling the money and commitment of the families who ...

Re: Good Marriage/couples Counsellor??

I would recommend the Tavistock Centre for Couples Counselling. It is at Warren Street and doesn't take long on the tube. We have seen a number of counsellors over the years and the one we are seeing now is far and away the best - most challenging but also most understanding. It is expensive but wor...
