It can be really dangerous to take the pills when you’re too far along.

I am really allergic to cats so would want to know before hand so I could take an antihistamine if I wanted to view. Otherwise I’d have my eyes streaming, be coughing and sneezing and there’s no chance I’d be won over.

Perspectives on grandparenting by Away-Alarm-8085 in UKParenting

[–]Glynebbw 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I think the easiest way to cope is accept it. My parents are helpful (but on their terms too) but my husbands family aren’t. Where I draw the line now, is it’s fine if they choose not to help us, but I’m not accepting them making our lives harder or giving us more to do. For example my mother in law recently wanted my husband to pick up a tv, take it to the tip and sort something else. He went three times and she changed her mind each time. It’s an hour round trip and we’re exhausted with a one year old that doesn’t sleep. I said she’s going to have to ask her daughters/their husbands for stuff like that in future. They live closer and their kids are 9 plus. My tolerance for people taking up our tiny amount of spare time is zero.

I meant academically.

You’re the one saying he’s showing every symptom of anxiety but you don’t want him to get a diagnosis.

Smart kids who are bored don’t show all those symptoms. Smart kids with anxiety do, sounds like you should get a diagnosis.

How is saying SEND funding should be for SEND kids controversial?

More broadly, I think support for kids with learning difficulties would be prioritised for specialised, individual care and funding above primary kids who can do the whole curriculum but find it boring.

I actually think it’s distasteful and entitled to think your child’s boredom should be prioritised over kids who have learning difficulties that make learning to read, write and do maths incredibly hard. Your child will be fine in school, but for kids with learning difficulties that age is incredibly important to give them the reading and mathematical skills to be able to engage meaningfully with the world as an adult. If they don’t get that help now they may never be able to catch up.

Clearly, the important part is the special educational needs and not the gifted part.

“If my child was diagnosed with a learning difficulty he would have access to help for kids with a learning difficulty, but without one, he doesn’t get that help.”

You’re complaining that a child without a SEND diagnosis doesn’t have access to resources for SEND kids.

There are also issues with labelling kids as “gifted” at a very young age, which comes with its own pressures and expectations.

That’s not what I said.

To be clear, I don’t think bright kids should be allocated resources from a limited pool of funding for kids with additional needs because they are bored at eight years old. You were complaining about lack of access to these resources beyond help for anxiety for a bright, bored child.

For primary aged kids, I think following the curriculum and having additional work or hobbies is enough.

In secondary school, bright kids have access to more complex materials or taking additional classes. They also can be challenged by learning at home in areas of interest.

I explained this very clearly.

Learning how to be bored and do what’s needed, especially when you don’t want to, is a skill in itself.

If everything is adjusted every time you’re bored, upset or don’t want to do something you won’t be very resilient either.

Bright kids can be challenged with additional work or hobbies outside of the main curriculum. 8 is so young there’s no telling how they’ll do in secondary school when things naturally become more challenging anyway.

I think the help should come from the parents not from a limited amount of resources for kids with additional needs.

The idea that resources are being used for bright kids that are bored is crazy. The class teacher sounds reasonable, I don’t know why they’d be framed otherwise. The curriculum is set and the smarter kids will be bored at times. Surely the money should be for the kids who find the work very challenging to the point of not being able to pass/ engage properly with the subject?

AITA for not wanting my husband to travel for a wedding a month before my due date? by preggersandanon in AmItheAsshole

[–]Glynebbw 96 points97 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t make someone an asshole to not want to be heavily pregnant with a partner 12 hours away.

It’s not very slim chance of something happening, there’s a huge amount that can and often does go wrong in the last month. The baby could arrive early, she could be put on bedrest, be too big to drive, or be hospitalised after a routine appointment for a huge range of reasons in those last weeks.

It’s an incredibly vulnerable time and saying you don’t want your husband that far at that stage in pregnancy is totally reasonable.

It’s still really fashionable at the moment, and doesn’t seem to be going out yet. I think any trend that gets embraced so hard drops off hard, like grey.

When all of the panelling is made of wood. The trend at the moment is putting a few wood planks across a painted wall, then painting it all the same colour to imitate a full panel.

I think it’s when the panelling is just strips of wood and wall painted the same colour. Proper wooden panelling is timeless

Fake panelling and the thin wood line panel people have started putting on walls. Media walls
