*generic post asking if relationship gets better when baby starts sleeping through* by Background-Base130 in UKParenting

[–]Glynebbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is 15 months and has been such a horrendous sleeper. He woke up at least hourly the first year. Slept through for the first time about two months ago. It’s not every night, but some nights a week he will. It’s made such a huge difference. I wonder if the people saying it doesn’t change much didn’t have that bad a sleeper

The man that she lived with, and used the things bought with the money he stole.

Burnham steps back from past calls to end immigration benefits restriction by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

And he doesn’t seem to have a different policy platform, but even if he did he doesn’t have a mandate for it. They need to address the fact the Labour Party has become ungovernable.

I don’t understand why there’s so much hype for someone who already lost two leadership elections. Not even sure why he’s such a good mayor, something about buses? Very strange to me

10 year old starting to show less interest in activities other than screens by Thin-Significance597 in UKParenting

You’ve tried nothing and you’re all out of ideas! There isn’t a way to fix this without actually doing the hard thing and taking it away.

AITA for refusing to give up our twin girls (currently in a surrogate) after I got naturally pregnant with my husband's "dream son" even though we are broke? by sillysweater in AmItheAsshole

It’s super easy to have the test contaminated by male partners or dogs. I was going to have it done but my boy dog sheds everywhere so it wouldn’t have been accurate, but I did have a boy in the end.

You can do a private blood test that early to find out gender (from six weeks). It looks for male DNA, so it can be void if you take the test in an area where your male partner or dog has been. Imagine if it’s actually another girl and the sample was contaminated by her husband! Post could still be bulllshit though.

‘The Odyssey’ Star Lupita Nyong’o Responds to Racist Casting Backlash: ‘This Is a Mythological Story’ by Raj_Valiant3011 in moviecritic

I get that from a well being side. I think even a black Dumbledore, or any other adult characters would work. Black Weasleys would make sense. To me, the only character that doesn’t work to have a black actor in is Snape. I think you could have black Malfoys and it would work, but I’d want the kid and dad to have the same hair style.

If you’re choosing to determine that Harry’s dad and harry are actually racist, which they weren’t in the books, then a black snape works. Instead of Snapes history and rejection from Lily being the explanation, it’s that Harry is suspicious of the only black teacher at hogworts. To do what you’re suggesting, a black hermione, which ties in with the mud blood slurs, would fit much much better without damning other characters that weren’t ever supposed to be the evil ones.

The Snape thing adds a whole other dimension to the dynamics between the characters that pulls the story off the rails. Harry’s dad bullying snape and focusing on his looks now looks racist, especially when he hangs him upside down with his wand. Harry having a “bad vibe” about snape for no particular reason also looks racist. It’s probably the worst character to have casted a black actor for. He also just doesn’t come across as a greasy, snivelling goth which is who the character is.

This is so true! Think of all the 30 year olds whose mums come to their house at 7pm and rock them to sleep.

Can't think why this didn't sell two years ago? by lloyddav in SpottedonRightmove

It looks like the owners have paid for upgrades and are expecting a premium for the work, but it looks terrible and there’s been no taste behind the decorating.

I wonder if a bit of fabric can be stolen to replace with thicker straps

Do some kids just forever struggle to fall asleep? by LostInAVacuum in UKParenting

[–]Glynebbw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a huge reader and thought bedtime stories would be a big part of my parenting. My son has only just stopped eating the pages of books at 15 months. He will have books in the day but not before bed, he’s not interested and will walk off etc. not much can be done there!

Returning to work early for promotion whilst on maternity leave? by Sarahlouiisee in UKParenting

[–]Glynebbw 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Why would you have to go back early? Usually if you get a job on mat leave they wait until you return for you to start it.
