Just given birth to my third female! So I have 3 girls under 5. Does anyone have any recommendations for good reads around the subject of raising girls. I'm especially interested in confidence (as my main observations in the workplace with regard to difference in gender are about this). But any books in this area are of interest (if there any that's d give me a laugh too that's be much appreciated!!)


Thanks

It was interesting to note that on the subject of the gender difference that was found as regards pocket money this week, I caught some kind of expert saying that the reason that boys get more is that they will negotiate whereas girls will just take what is given to them...this of course spreads into the workplace where women do not argue their corner...a psychologist friend said that women will be labelled a negative 'pushy' and men will be praised as 'assertive' in the same circumstances....

Good luck finding something

    • Hi Merry Christmas no joy with that Paul Hackett email thanks 
    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
