Re: Wandsworth food compost system - no liner bags provided - ridiculous

I will carry on, I was just surprised because I assumed it would be the same logic as recycling a bags being provided. I’m sure the council could have found a way to supply them. My new set has been ordered online, thanks for tip to look in the supermarket. All new to me, is never really spotted the...

Wandsworth food compost system - no liner bags provided - ridiculous

I dutyfully started using the food compost bins, but to my surprise when the first roll ran out I found out Wandsworth won’t supply them . So they introduce a new scheme, which was not exactly welcomed with enthusiasm , then don’t supply liners as they do with general recycling . WHY?? Makes no sens...

Re: TV screens in bedrooms for gaming?

I think it’s a very bad idea. It’s a guarantee for more gaming, so unless you want to encourage more gaming and have more battles with him regarding gaming you are putting yourself in a situation which will make it harder and harder for you to police. Screen in bedrooms are bad full stop, will likel...

Re: Orthodontics

Whatever you do don’t do 6 month smile or whatever it’s called . All they do is “initial alignment” braces do the same only the rest of the time is making sure the bite is correct and final placement is what takes time. You don’t want to mess with the bite, especially on young kids. I’d go with what...

Re: Two or three year gap between siblings?

A child is a blessing, not a guarantee. What I mean is, aim roughly, but don’t fret about exact timing. I gave a bigger gap because despite being young and healthy at the time , I had a disastrous pregnancy before finally having my second. To answer your question properly, 2 means 2 in nappies simul...

Re: Is a near 30 year age gap too big in a relationship?

I’d say yes , it’s too big .
Him being in his 50s he’s just about holding onto youth being blunt.

When she’s his age , she would be with a very old man !

Re: husband wants a tattoo and I am so embarrassed

I feel for you … embarrassing indeed . Perhaps convince him to put a temporary henna on his skin as a compromise and see if he gets sick of it ? Only the decide for the real thing . Your issue is, the more you protest the more he will want to “be a free spirit” and imagine himself like a young man w...

Re: No actual idea what my husband earns

Finances are a common source of disagreements and emotions because it’s very personal how you feel about them. It’s often a reflection of how you grew up and your early experiences. Personally, I came from a family where my parents shared everything. Just like you break bread as a family, you share ...

Re: Friend's husband is a sexual harrasser

My first thought was ; what do you mean you let’s him do his thing . However, your reaction was quite normal. Many J Saville victims froze and were so shocked they “let it” happen. Well done for now speaking about it . I reckon you’ve got no choice but to tell your friend. If she knows then it’s her...

Re: Told off by MIL for expecting my husband to do his family's presents.

So at no point before on even on the day of the big celebration did you not think to ask your husband what he got ? Or ask where the gift was on the way ? Being married and invited as a couple, you jointly failed to turn to with a present. It’s bad etiquette and your own internal politics of who get...
