We still quote "NOONE CARES THAT ITS NOVEMBER" to my daughter after her meltdown at 12 at our suggestion that a crop top and no coat probably wasn't the best choice for bonfire night 😂

... clearly not consenting. I have no doubt with the shame that comes with teen pregnancy, that had it been possible, I would have been forced into a back-street abortion. My daughter wouldn't be here, and I likely would have faced the same consequences that we saw pre 1967. This isn't pro-life.

I've started using mail merge for feedback sheets, like why did I never think to use this function before! Years of handwriting or colour coding feedback 🤦🏻‍♀️

Same here! Babies first day at nursery too 💔 Could do with another 3 weeks, or months 😂

Well not so much with the baby, he doesn't care. But my 14 year old has experienced both lifestyles, my 7 year old can only remember one and you can tell.

This is quite interesting to see from the child's perspective. Husband and I have very middle class jobs, but grew up in poverty. We are both tight when it comes to certain things (me more so!). There's 7 years between each of my kids and you can already see the difference in experience/approach too

I completely agree with it in principle (I did my dissertation on it 10 years ago because I heavily agree with the concept!), I just have reservations about how simplistic it would really be if implemented at the current rate suggested, because top ups would go beyond greater or complex needs

My big concern is often when political parties put this forward it's often at a lower level than somebody would need to live. Great for those who are able to work, but not for those who can't at those levels. If you add an extra benefit for those, then you lose the benefits of the simple system

At 17 I was pregnant and homeless. The major reason I am where I am now is because I had solid GCSEs to fall back on. They gave me access to further education and the confidence that I could do something about my situation!!

Lol never mind it literally says search 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

How do you search for feeds? I'm only following the ones it's suggested to me so far 🤔
