Re: Friend's husband is a sexual harrasser

Sorry, just read your update.
Who knows what he does to her then if she’s complicit .
Maybe she’s scared to confront him and in denial ?

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...

Re: Asked to keep children in hotel room for duration of weeding

What the hell?? They are not dogs ! She’s clearly psycho and will look back on this when she’s a mum and feel ashamed. Unless she owns the hotel, and can’t control what is done outside her own wedding in the function rooms. I’m surprised you are even up for a wedding with a tiny baby and is the brid...

Re: Witnessed mugging - how much force is reasonable?

in general the police don't want vigilante action unless it's life and death. Let's for arguments sake say you wrestled the boy for the jacket and he stabbed you. Then the trade off is, a replaceable jacket/contects and a stab wound. Sadly, it's best to not get involved physically. Having said that,...

Re: how to manage other half giving up his job for mine

Proceed with caution. I think you need to be very careful making any drastic decisions especially as you are pregnant and already plan to return very quickly. Please don’t take this as judgment, but from experience, you have no idea how you will feel as a new mum. So it’s can be a bit naive to assum...

It checked their website and it’s on there is more specific detail . Then I looked at the sacks and it does say “rinse food residues from containers”.

Re: Can I approach my ex MIL for son's non payment of school fees

You have a legal agreement, act quickly to protect your children and their school places. 1) get legal advice asap, not sure how enforceable your agreement is in practical terms and within the time until the schools will get fed up 2) immediately tell the school to contact your ex for the fees. Let ...

Re: Bashed my ex and now my son won't have anything to do with him

I don’t see how this is a problem for you to fix . The relationship between your son and his father is for your ex to fix. You might have shared the information of what was happening, you didn’t cause the situation where he didn’t support you and your son. Whilst parents, whether together or not, sh...

Re: The new £3.9m Food waste collections - a massive cost to the taxpayer, this is how to return your bins to the counci

I think they should have focussed on improving the existing recycling first ideally or alongside. Reason being, people don’t sort the recycling and bin everything in the orange bags and wrong items. What people don’t realise is that you are supposed to clean out the tins etc before recycling. ( I do...

Re: Au pair walking around virtually naked

I would definitely give her the benefit of the doubt! She is young, immature and naive. This is most probably the first time away from home and you could kind of take it as a compliment she's feeling at home. She's being naive in the sense that she is placing herself as a child at home as not as an ...

Re: Retired MIL doesn't help and overstays her welcome.

Assuming she’s well and able I would say something like “now you are here it’s great we will get some help with the children”. To make the penny drop that you’d like her support and not just added load. Sometime people underestimate the drain of having to host a person even if family. Or right out a...

Re: Are Miele machines worth the extra??

Yes !! LOVE my Miele appliances, I’ve got everything from Miele. They not only last, but when something does break they can always be efficiently be fixed by Miele engineers. We’ve only had to fix the washing machine and that was almost 10 years after buying it and we had extended warranty. The oven...
