I did start laughing out loud at the latest BA ad at the cinema recently - all men pilots- and all white- it was ok with the historic scenes- but when they panned to the current day and it was still all white male pilots and young beautiful air stewardesses I felt a bit embarrassed as they were serious. ::o
If it was 3 oclock aren't most children at schhol then? I know the CHarter finishes early but I wish for once the Police would come down hard on this sort of thing either at local schools or truants elsewhere. It is all too common.Schools could help a lot more than they do if someone coordinated it.Basically you have to give your kids a ?10 phone for school etc and let them keep a better one at home for all that messaging.
Can anyone recommend somewhere with a good lunchtime atmosphere on a Saturday for 4 adults to have a civilised leisurely meal on the South Bank? I wondered about places like the oxo tower/ royal festival hall but it has mixed reviews. Any good steers welcome as I am responsible for booking this?? ( shame Chez Bruce will be too far away....)
Some parents' pain threshold for screaming toddlers is much higher than mine.If mine played up I just used to pick them up , leave my shopping and take them outside/ home/ to the play park and then come back later. I wish some parents would do the same and not tough it out.
i think it is a case of treat others as you are treated. if you get a big bonus, and as your nanny enables you to do so ,then share it. but if you dont get a bonus then no- maybe an extra amount at christmas.
easy go to tesco and ask the nice man- I went to Elmers End and he was SO lovely he let me play with all the phones- including his Galaxy-if you are there you will have to make a decision . done.
If you are a 13 year old boy, its best to be playing a ball in a park than trying some "stuff" someones older brother has.I don't excuse them but they have to have space of their own.
I hear what you are saying about nursery etc but you might consider a nanny share with older children that are at school. Families with nannies and children at school welcome parttime baby nanny shares- your baby gets individual attention while older children are at school and the benefit of their company before and after school. Good nannies know where all the activity groups are and will socialise your baby. Just an idea.
