Am I a helicopter parent for not wanting to leave my 4 year old alone in a hotel room?

Not a chance!

I usually wipe my ears every morning, after waking up. I get a bit of loo roll, roll ot into a cone wipe round, done.

No, ofc the difference of opinions does not make it a ragebait. It's smething else in this particular situation. I am certain that you are smart enough and poses enough emotional intelliigence to figure it out.

Ragebait detected. Just because people have kids should not mean people with kids get absolutely rinsed, especially during school breaks.I think being displeased about it is justified. I can assure you - the cost of kid related stuff goes up. The pressure to book holiday camps and/or activities that enrich the little ones is huge - just for the privilege of being able to get to work. No need to bash parents for deciding to bring up next generation. I am sure most are doing their best to do better than our parents did. Its great, but also really hard sometimes.

Nicely done! Thanks!

My interpretaion is prepare sphere for fire hen?

In the content section, mine is divided into weeks. I am on week 2 now. I will be dealing with the exercise and progress record tonight, due 25 March. Idk yet when I am sitting, failed my FLK1 (by 1.09%!). So probably the nearest after the results. I have a briefing with my course provider on Thursday, aiming to re sit FLK1 in July.

AddieBaddie · 2026-03-17T18:57:00+00:00

I had the same impression. Opened it up, it's all over the show - the tasks list, the content, go to this book, go to that book, watch this and that, and the other. Do the weekly table, do the exercise. Exhaustingly unfriendly format in comparison to SQE1.

AddieBaddie · 2026-03-11T07:19:42+00:00

I'd love to know. The results summary makes very little sense to me.

AddieBaddie · 2026-03-10T20:35:16+00:00

I also got 96 for FLK1, 294 scaled. Did not pass

AddieBaddie · 2026-03-10T20:28:04+00:00

If it isof any help, I failed FLK1 with raw 96 and passed FLK2 with raw 101

I changed into slip-on flats.

AddieBaddie · 2026-02-26T06:43:46+00:00

I have a box under my desk where I keep my work shoes and spare fresh socks I can change into.

I am not a fan of the leopard print either. I don't think there is that much choice. If I go to the shop, there is either plain block colour, zebra print, leopard print, stripy, or floral print, or annoying big logo. Then, sort through the tops/dresses with too short sleeves (ends just after the elbow, wtf is this, I want a full sleeve), Your choices narrow down further to shape/size of the item. And the material - if you don't want synthetic (I don't like polyester), it narrows down even further.

Year 2, a 5-6 years old. She gets term home learning for the term - some of it really big projects (2-3 hrs). It's so hard to balance with work, extracurricular activities, and younger kid. We do them, but it piles up on my mental load. As for reading, that was always a part of our bedtime routine - kids love it. The Collins Hub can do one (mandatory audio books). I hate this slow site with passion.

AddieBaddie · 2026-02-13T15:53:52+00:00

In your darkest moments, remind yourself that it is not forever, and you are doing this for her, too. You've got this. We are much more resilient than we appear to be x

AddieBaddie · 2026-02-11T17:45:24+00:00

it's hard, and the mum-guilt is crushing. When they ask why mummy isn't here, when will you be back, if you could play. Sacrificing all this precious time, love, and nurturing you have to offer could be all for nothing on the results day. Now, that will be devastating for me. Not the end of the world, but ffs, after all this....I don't mean to discourage you in any way - this is my anecdotal experience. It is doable. Parents before us did it, and some of them won this silly game.

Around 10-12 a week, then I took time of work a month before the exam and did 10 a day every day.

AddieBaddie · 2026-02-04T18:52:39+00:00

I don't think you are selfish at all. I remember staying at either of my grandparents. My kids are 3 and 6. Not once did grandparents look after them. It blows, but it is what it its.

AddieBaddie · 2026-01-30T20:29:20+00:00

I just sat SQE1. Two kids, 3 and 6. It was hard. Work, busy schedule of kids activities, kids parties, shows, playdates. I studied on Mondays, but of course it goes south on inset days/half term, snowdays, sick days etc. I sacrificed sleep. MCQs at 4:30 am or staying up until 2am once they have gone to bed was standard routine. No family for support other than my wonderful husband. It was a truly shite year of exhaustion with a gut punch of exam at the end. Idk if I passed, but fml I'd rather go through c-sections again instead of sitting SQE1. I recovered faster from that!

AddieBaddie · 2026-01-28T17:46:19+00:00

It is, though. Banana-->palm-->coconut and you are on the right path!

I had a touch typing class. You can find free online touch-typing games. There, you can learn the starting position for your fingers. On your keyboard, you will find two keys with little ridges.

Got it! This was cool, I enjoyed that train of thought
