Sorry guys, but this one was not serious. I got such a pasting on the other thread I thought I would run this one. It was discussed hypothetically betwen some friends of ours recently.


I have only two children - both girls, and to be honest it would be both or none as most people suggested, if I wanted to spend my money that way, which I prob wouldn't.


Rosie made me laugh. And yes my wife says I'm sexist too.


Made for a good thread though - lots of responses in a short time.

send the best looking girl, she can then get married to someone with money quick, then pay for a top education for the children of her siblings and then also pay for her siblings to leave work and study, OU or something, in later life. Plus the Parents of her rich husband may be a right fruity pair of swingers then you and your hub could find yourself in some big stately home in years to come dressed as victorian parlour slaves havin a right bubble !


christ its so simple, i wonder why i bother !

Send all three kids to the local state school and, if you have any spare cash, add some additional learning where or if needed...

music, languages, extra help if not doing well in a specific subject, etc...

In 1 out 5 households (within a male and female relationship) the woman is now the main breadwinner and 1 in 5 men are now the primary carer of children within families in the UK.

Mick,


Completely agree with previous posters as being all or nothing. You will create such issues between your children and besides, it's nice to have them all at the same school. Agree with charliecharlie that you can then splurge on extracurricular activities like music, dance, drama, football and also buy that baby grand piano so they can practice and/or build a football pitch in garden for your son.


Hope this isn't a wind-up?! :)


Best,

-C

Often worth reading the thread, C.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
