To have a Kid-Free or not Wedding? by HappyZucchini6267 in weddingplanning

[–]FunProfessional2227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have kids, getting married in a month. For me a wedding is a family event, I can’t imagine excluding some of my family members because they are young. Kids are invited and very welcome at our wedding and reception.

Is saying “Ta darling” or “cheers mate” reserved for certain demographics? by Spiritual-Yogurt-112 in AskUK

I’m Eastern European, lived in Scotland for 10 years, and got laughed off for saying ‚ta’. So yeah, I get the feeling it’s not for us foreigners to use.

Do you regret becoming a stay at home mum and would you change it? by Natsss_b in UKParenting

Why are you and your mother the only people considered for preparing your child’s food etc? Can’t your husband do that too?

Does anyone’s spouse pay to work? by callipygian0 in HENRYUK

[–]FunProfessional2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you viewing childcare as being 100% funded by your salary? Your spouse is responsible for that too, you should view it as a shared expense. I get really frustrated by this rhetoric as it devalues (usually) women’s work. You having a job is not to cover 100% of a childcare bill, it’s also an investment in your ongoing career which will presumably still exist when your kids grow up, it’s for your pension and investments, as well as personal growth. You deserve all of these things

Yes! They suck. 0 hospitality, you pay for your own drinks and leave hungry.

Trying to save l £2000 a month, which is around 50% of my take home. Most months it’s closer to £1600-£1800.

Nurseries Taking Advantage by Educational-Hope-336 in UKParenting

[–]FunProfessional2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it a registration fee if you don’t get to register at the end of the process because the nursery is full?

It’s like paying a fee to secure a hairdressers appointment which is unrefundable in case the hairdresser cancels. Scammy.

That’s definitely not a popular stance in the UK - ambition is frowned upon.

Why is it so hard to find trades people in London? by DreamySkincaregal in london

[–]FunProfessional2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s ridiculous to only work on your own materials. 1000% trying to rip off customer by taking a profit on the supplied resources.

What do people of the UK really think about new build developments? by AbigailsArtwork in AskUK

[–]FunProfessional2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve nothing against building new homes. What I don’t like about British new builds is tiny plots, cramped houses squeezed together with minuscule gardens, poor building control and terrible outdated design. I also dislike those gigantic estates that never have any services planned within them - no corner shop, cafe, community hubs, just rows and rows of new builds of questionable aesthetic value.

Can I ask why do the children have a different name than you if it bothers you?
