Should we still be getting someone? My wife has said a few times she doesn't know why they've stopped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had three visits. Twice in the early months and another at six months where she was in, weighed him, asked if everything was alright and left within ten minutes. Said she would be back when he's around one. No idea what the norm is but she said they are really short staffed so guess that's affecting things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 We get ours in for a good half an hour each time, goes through his red book in detail and keeps us up to date with meetings or classes that might be happening he needs to know about or might be handy. Guess we've got one of the good ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said though, they are more or less useless. In fact I think ours said "if you have any concerns just message me" My missus was then a bit worried about weird breathing noises the wean was making, so she messaged to ask and she basically said "don't message me contact the main office" That and any time she comes round, she puts any rubbish in a hazardous waste bag and then just leaves it at my front door? I'm always like, why did you do that, if you're not taking it, i'll just put it in the fucking bin outside. She's a bit of a dick tbh. In short, I wouldn't worry about it. ETA: Just realised your location is England, maybe different down there. Edited February 9, 2023 by thistledo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 My youngest was cooking in home economics today and brought it home for me. "I made pasta. It has mince in it. It isn't raw because it went brown. And it has a stock cube and tomato toothpaste stuff in it." A natural saleswoman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 At just prior to four months the wee one has started rolling onto his front, this was very exciting as he'd been close for a couple of weeks. However, despite him sometimes being capable of rolling back over, he seems to prefer being on his front until he gets very tired, before then proceeding to shout v loudly for us to turn him on his back. He will however roll back on his front within seconds, and starting the process again. Like a big turtle. He's class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I don’t know much about modern pop music but I am glad that Billie Eilish has made dressing like a mental bag lady acceptable as it means I don’t have to get involved in the getting dressed for school process, which would be the source of much conflict 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Has anyone had problems with sort of cyber bullying? My son has been getting shit from folk online, accusing him of stuff that he hasn’t done. Threatening him etc, I don’t know where they live, otherwise i would just be straight to the doors and talking to the parents. They seem to be little keyboard warriors, but as far as we know saying nothing at school. Using snapchat to say stuff, then it all disappears because of how the app works. He doesn’t want us to go to the one parent that we do know, because he fears the repercussions. It’s just fucking shite. Feels like there is no resolution. It seems to be girls as well. Which makes it harder to deal with. The school won’t deal with it because “it’s not a school issue” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools seem to shite their pants from dealing with bullying and always have done. Nothing changes eh? The people doing this to your son are fucking cowards. Fortunately malicious communications are a criminal offence. This includes cyberbullying. Contrary to what many people think, nothing posted online "disappears" and no one is ever anonymous online. Material posted on things like Snapchat can be accessed by the police if need be, even after it has apparently "disappeared". If the school don't want to get involved then that's shocking, but it might be worth speaking to the police about this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the school seems to be a bit of a lawless wasteland in general. We have offered to move him schools, but he’s said no. Don’t want to get to a stage where the police are involved, that’s why we wanted to speak the parents. Had problems with my older son in the first few years at school and we managed to resolve it by speaking to parents. Poor boy is just really annoyed with it all. My initial over the top, old school reaction is to want to message them myself, but that won’t do anyone any good. I’m just exasperated and feel even a little guilty breaking up the stream of braw pictures on here to vent, but i needed somewhere to do it. What happened to being 13 and your only goal in life was to try and get yerself a girlfriend/boyfriend. Never understood teenagers when i was one, still don’t 27 years later. When you have teenagers, then see the last few photos on this thread, you sometimes forget they were that cute and adorable once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
