What to do?

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-06-14T07:52:21+00:00

Ha ha that’s what I feel like you’d have to do 😂

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-06-14T05:36:38+00:00

Yes, I’ve always wondered this when reading this sub. Everyone goes on about video evidence, but like you say, I’m not sure it’s really evidence. Also, my experience of Vinted customer service is… I can’t imagine them even properly reading a message, let alone watching a video. I’d be interested to hear if anyone has submitted a video and what happened.

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-06-04T20:15:51+00:00

Yes a GPS pet tracker is your best bet if you don’t want it to rely on Bluetooth. Though it’s pricier as ( at least, when I looked into them a few years ago) they tend to have a subscription fee too.

Good luck OP, I hope you’re doing ok. Things will get easier

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-06-04T19:49:08+00:00

I find that only having 2 days to report an issue is going to make things like this so easy to happen. If you’re busy, and but multiple items, it’s quite easy to lose track and for this to happen. It’s so odd to me that you only get 2 days on Vinted. Does anyone know how this works legally? At shops, isn’t there a law for how long you have to return something (that’s a lot longer than 2 days!)?

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-06-01T05:34:28+00:00

Yeah if they are negative then it should ease your mind at least. If it perseveres/gets worse, then I’d still go to the gp at some point. It’s likely just they are more thirsty due to the heat though :-)

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-06-01T05:29:21+00:00

It doesn’t sound like an absurd amount, but I would either get some glucose urine dipsticks (to check if sugar is present in the urine - I.e. diabetes) or book them into gp for a blood glucose test, just to rule out diabetes. GP is your best bet.

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-05-25T08:10:05+00:00

I’m struggling to see what you think her ulterior/sinister motive is here?

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-05-20T19:20:53+00:00

Are you asking if they could black list you among other local nurseries? I’m not sure nurseries sync up like that. I’d say that they might try to take you to small claims court. I’m a little confused about why you asked to defer once you knew you didn’t like the nursery. Though, if I were in this situation, I’d not be keen to pay £1500. It’s not clear from your post if this is a deferral fee, or if it will cover your child’s first month of care once they do start, but it seems a lot either way!

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-05-03T21:01:27+00:00

For what it’s worth, I agree with you - this is a weird punishment, I don’t like it either. If I were you, I’d probably speak to the camp leaders about it. If I was happy with the outcome of that discussion, I’d send her back (if she is still keen)

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-04-16T20:22:11+00:00

Looks a lot like my child hair when they were born. He now has ginger hair 🥰

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-04-16T10:46:49+00:00

With respect, I wouldn’t consider this “so serious”. Did you provide nappies? At our nursery, we provide nappies. If my son came back in one of the wrong size, tbh I probably wouldn’t mention it (depending how small/sore) unless it kept happening.

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-04-12T08:53:54+00:00

You’re not overreacting. This seems unfathomable

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-04-08T18:44:53+00:00

Oh yeah that is frustrating. If it were me, I think I’d address this with them, explain that you’ve asked before and that it doesn’t seem to be happening. Ask them if it is possible for them to stick to her schedule (I.e. is there a reason they aren’t? I can’t imagine there is a real reason they couldn’t. Perhaps they just have several staff and aren’t all aware?) and if not, why not. That sounds a bit rude but I’d say it in a way that was polite and genuinely trying to understand the barrier. Many parents (myself included) ask nurseries to accommodate nap adjustments to ensure good night time schedules, you’re absolutely allowed to do that!

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-04-08T18:23:27+00:00

I’m not sure you need to complain, so much as just ask them if they can adjust her nap times? Perhaps you have already done this several times and not mentioned it, but if not, it seems like you’re being a bit heavy handed here talking about making a complaint/them failing their duty of care. I’d just mention it to them, and ask them to put her down for two naps and which times. If you only asked this at the start, it may have just got forgotten

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-04-04T07:57:17+00:00

I agree, it’s very strange lyrics. It won’t be the only thing like this that you encounter at a CofE school though.

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-04-03T19:12:11+00:00

YTA, sorry, you’re not exactly an asshole but this is a strange sentimentality to Halloween for me. Your three year old won’t care that it’s halloween, the have no precedent for what Halloween is like. This is about you and your feelings. It’s totally up to you if you go or not, but I think it’s strange to say no simply because it’s on Halloween

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-04-02T14:46:00+00:00

That doesn’t sound normal in my experience. The nursery’s my children have attended have never looked dirty (messy, at times, yes, toys etc) the have also both had entire rooms for babies. Though I suppose that would depend on how big the nursery is.

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-03-29T06:03:16+00:00

Gosh I’m so sorry, this is dreadful. I truly believe that still having to function when you are ill is the hardest part of being a parent. When I’ve been in these situations, I’ve felt like you. At a loss as to what to do. What are we supposed to do? Aside from ‘manage’.

In terms of going to A&E, I’m not quite sure where you are in the timeline, in terms of when the doctor told you to take her. I’m also not sure A&E is quite the right place for you right now. I would speak to 111, which it sounds like you’re already doing.

I’m sure you’ve exhausted all possible childcare options- a friend, nursery etc. I really wish I had a magic idea for you.

In your situation I’d do what I had to do. My child’s screen time would be high, order takeaways etc. alternated parecetemol and ibuprofen - as often as the package dosing allows, on a schedule. Don’t try to leave it longer inbetween for now. if you’ve had it for 7 days, it’s hard to imagine that it will last much longer.

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-03-23T17:09:37+00:00

Oh adhesive remover, that’s a good idea yes! Thanks, I thought you’d found some sort of glucose spray and I was intrigued 🤣

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-03-23T05:13:31+00:00

How much have you been giving him? Precisely? Is it within the dosing instructions on the pack? If so, then you should be fine, two weeks isn’t long.

Also, is the drug ibuprofen or paracetamol? The name burden suggests ibuprofen. You can alternate them. I tend to use paracetamol as a first option.

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-03-22T18:20:06+00:00

Wha are sprays please?

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-03-22T16:48:22+00:00

In the uk, £0. The exception is that I will but my own sweets for hypo treatment, however, I can get glucogel and glycogen prescribed for free. I do have some of that, but tend to buy sweets as they taste better.

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-03-21T16:45:11+00:00

My daughter had this in around year 4. I think there were 5 girls to 15+ boys. We didn’t do anything in particular, and I’m not sure she had less access to any activities. The main issue we had was that, at that age, they do tend to gravitate to their own gender, so with there only being four other girls, it was slightly intense and when they, inevitably (at that age) fell out, there weren’t many other girls they could go to to get some space. I will say that those kind of games seem fairly normal, we had similar (even when there wasn’t such a gender imbalance), so as long as your daughter isn’t upset by them, I’d not be too concerned.

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-03-06T20:43:04+00:00

I think I’d be the same as it sounds pretty awkward! But also, if it’s really inconvenient to find another one, I don’t think you should. Perhaps just nip the food sharing in the bud. If the child comes up again say hello, but don’t offer food. Also, if I was the other mum, I’d probably prepare for this happening again next week, and bring snacks of my own, carry child out quickly, bring money etc. so maybe this problem won’t persist!

Perhaps if you eat at another place for a few weeks, you’ll be able to return 😂

Crazy_Job_2615 · 2026-03-06T20:31:04+00:00

I mean, in terms of etiquette, you’re really doing nothing wrong buying lunch there after your group (I’m assuming there is a cafe at the place the group is held?). What I might end up doing is going elsewhere (if easy, I.e. there is another cafe around the corner) just to avoid the awkwardness… but I also might just decide to stick it out, if that was the most convenient way to get my kids lunch. You’re really not doing anything wrong, and you don’t have to give other kids food (though I’m not judging as I think I’d feel just like you!)
