Re: How Can anyone vote Tory next week?

I'd like to challenge the notion that the council's services are well run. We don't have street cleaning on the day the bins are collected.  Somehow, the rubbish collection men conspire to burst a significant number of bags on their journey from the bin to the back of the rubbish truck and don't cle...

Re: resenting my step daughter

Well done on noticing it and deciding to do something about the way you feel.  As some posters suggest, don't shy away from getting some counselling on this; it's very beneficial for someone to help you see where your thoughts come from and to gain some perspective. I have a step-mum who is very und...

Re: is Oliver House School closing?

A few children from Oliver House have just started at my children's school.  I understand a number of European multi-children families that went there have left Britain recently (Brexit dividend?) and the school has become non-viable.

Re: Splitting inheritance

I'm trying to write this as dispassionately as possible, but apologies if I'm going beyond advice.  I'm like your step daughter, but my parents divorced when I was very young and both remarried before I was five so my step-parents have been there for all of my retained memory.  Following my mum's se...

Re: when is the best time to tell the children we are splitting up?

As others have said, I'm sorry this is where things have got to for you both. I'm lucky enough to have a twice divorced mother.  I was under 1 when she left my dad and in my early twenties when she and my step-dad decided to separate. My younger (1/2) sisters were mid-teens.  I firmly believe that p...

Re: Recommendation needed: Fertility Clinic in London AND specialist

We went to CRGH at UCLH.  5 rounds 2 kids at 38 and 40y/o. I'd pick the place people are recommending for how they treat you as a patient and I'd look at the success rates for live deliveries for your age, available on the https://www.hfea.gov.uk/ there are differences so worth fully researching.  W...

Re: In-laws voted leave. They've removed my children's freedom of movement and I can't cope with seeing them any longer.

Just Wow. Preamble: remain voter.  Voted labour until JC turned up, now can't. Love DEBATING Brexit with friends and family cos I want to understand why.  Don't agree but I respect their views (else why should they respect mine?!).  Wish we could stay, don't disagree with your points as to why its c...
