Re: SW11 car fines from a local cyclist's camera

As a non-cyclist I’m taking this post in the spirit it’s intended - there are a lot of huge vehicles which must be very intimidating when they’re headed straight for you. However, I have to agree with the above posts - some cyclists do not help their cause by frequently going through red lights. As ...

Re: I don't want to feed my son meat but my husband is insisting.

No comment about which diet is better but if you don’t want to cook meat why don’t you buy pre cooked chicken - so easy to put with some rice or pasta and the whole chicken breasts often taste better than when it’s just come out of the oven.

Re: Husband and mother commenting my 2 year old is too fat

God as if mums don’t have enough to feel guilty about 🙄 Good advice above - check her weight percentile if it makes you feel better but from what you’ve said you are doing nothing wrong. If you’re worried about the milk start adding in some semi skimmed - if you do this gradually she won’t notice. B...

Re: Mother won't see my child.

Agree with the above post. Possibly a slight generalisation but old people are so stubborn and certain traits they’ve always had get worse as they get older. Your mother doesn’t sound like she’s going to budge on this from anything you do. Also it sounds like she has some power here that she’s reluc...

Re: Mother very unsupportive over my separation making me doubt what I am doing

How funny that someone above assumed you wanted more sex and I read it as he wanted it but you’d had enough (more common, no?)…

Re: Mother very unsupportive over my separation making me doubt what I am doing

She is probably just worried about you and trying to “persuade” you to stay together, in a not particularly healthy way… I think you’re very brave and it sounds like you’ve thought this through from all angles. Surely your husband has to at least support your daughter? And doesn’t he need to give yo...

Re: GPS tracker or child app for secondary school

As said above Apple tags are brilliant and you can personalise them with emojis and stuff. They are really precise - helped me track my keys to a coat pocket a few weeks ago…

Re: daughter not invited to party

I would let it go - at least it’s not kids in her close friendship group being mean. And if you force the issue it probably won’t make you feel better if she is invited.
Great idea in the post above to spoil her - maybe ask one of her better friends to come to tea.

Re: friend's husband smacking a child should I intervene?

RosesareRed - apologies if this has been asked, didn't see it above - was it just the once or a few times - your original post isn’t clear.

Re: Friend gone mad at me over new man

Would you be cancelling plans with her to go to Devon? If not, then she has to accept it - not easy as I bet she’s scared but that’s life unfortunately. Try and get something in the diary with her though.

Re: How do I stop my mum over sharing details about my life?

I feel for you - I was raised by just my mum and it makes the relationship very different from one with two parents. I feel so protective towards her and I’ve always found it SO hard to say anything negative - luckily there hasn’t been much. I would sit her down (if you are able to see her at the mo...

Re: Breast Augmentation

Taking your kids out of private tutoring to fund it… how will you feel if your kids don’t get to go to the schools you/they would like them to? I don’t think this is a decision you can make without your husband - new boobs or (possibly) kids future? (I’m still trying to work out if this post is seri...

Re: Teen behaviour. Help.

How old is she? I’ve heard that 14-15 is a tricky age for girls but after that they start coming back to you. Not sure if it’ll let me post this link but it’s a lovely piece describing how teenagers think - made me well up… https://grownandflown.com/letter-from-teen-to-parents/?fbclid=IwAR2NpwRVCn10...
