Re: do your children send thank you cards for presents?

They don't send physical cards, but they either call the person or send a recorded WhatsApp voice note.

I think it's important for them to acknowledge the kindness of others, so that they aren't entitled kids with poor manners.

Re: What age to go to Chessington from Clapham unacompanied

I think 12 is a bit too young to travel to a theme park on their own without adult supervision. It’s not only navigating the travelling from Clapham and back. but visiting a theme park like Chessington during its most busiest season which has thousands? of visitors at this time. Can you suggest havi...

Re: Friend copying my house design room by room.

Hi, I feel for you! Your feelings are valid. It’s not flattering. One or two things copied here and there you could maybe see as flattering but a carbon copy of your house, child’s rooms, style etc is very annoying. Your choices are a reflection of you, your creativity, style and the time and effort...

Re: Harris Academy Wimbledon: Your views

I like HaWD(Harris Wimbledon) it is a good school. It is academically challenging and you can see they want to find what your child is interested in and/or enjoys and give them the opportunity to excel. I think that the diversity of the staff and the student population adds to the school. They are o...

Re: Husband obsessed with son doing Oxbridge

Hello Peachy, Managing the emotions of both your son and husband is very delicate situation for you.

Re: Daughter's best friend and family quite religious and she is asking why we don't pray

Hi Cinders, You maybe overthinking this a bit. As you are comfortable with the family and their household that your child is sleeping over at your home and their daughter at yours. Surely, this is something that you should be comfortable discussing with the family, if it even warrants a discussion. ...

Re: Bad experience with Simon Yeo from Ninjakids

I am really shocked and concerned about the businesses approach to this situation and their response on NVN. In my opinion, it does not appear as though the OP is being vindictive or spiteful in the least. They have outlined the situation and their experience to this online community to highlight th...
