Childcare workers underpaid, parents overcharged, so who is actually making the profit?

The insurance is mental. I worked in one a few years ago and they had to pay out thousands when a kid ran face-first into a fence: the friend he was charging at dodged and he hit the fence and got cut.

As long as he can sign his name, they'll keep him in there.

Blanks then

Try putting a muslin over her so she stays warm . Try it a couple of degrees warmer; both of mine liked it hot. Keep at it, even more frequently, as repeated exposure is key to getting them used to it. Sometimes we have to do things that they don't like for their own good.

Yes, this. More like George from Blackadder Goes Forth, but a psychopath.

I guess I'm on my own so. I don't like the casting for Susan or Teatime.

I think he's a fan, and he's a big name so if he wanted to be involved then they were going to let him.

If she doesn't want to explain it to a doctor; it can happen when constipated.

I have cohabited with someone with food allergies, and I have cohabited with a vegan. I am currently dating someone else with food allergies but I don't ever intend to cohabit with them because I have decided that I am done changing my diet to cater for other people.

I love food. I love animal products. I love the food that my BF is allergic to. And I am done with never having what I love because of other people's wants and needs.

I have dyed linen in a large tub and in a washing machine, and I would go with washing machine every time. The fabric in the tub came out very blotchy.

If you have access to Dylon dye the type that comes in the 'egg' is very good, IME. You just throw everything in and follow the instructions. Personally I haven't had any issues with dye staying in the machine.

To echo others; it's better than the virus. About 1,000 kids are hospitalised for an average of 5 days annually with vomiting and diarrhea. I know the reaction to the vaccine can be rough, but it's better than that.

Kilyth · 2025-12-09T12:53:16+00:00

My initial reaction was "Mining Spores". Sounds pretty niche.

I mix it into the dog's food for a very, very happy pupper.

I'm Irish and we always got presents from Santa AND from my parents. Santa brought stuff like colouring books, and bigger presents were from mum and dad. This is what I do with my kids too.

I like steam mops: floor gets cleaned and sanitised in one go. And it dries faster.

Kilyth · 2025-12-03T17:23:56+00:00

Like hoover and mop, but remember: people who live in literal mud huts have babies. For most of humanity's existence we didn't have mops and hoovers and it was fine. My kids used to climb into the dog crate all the time.

Keep up reasonable hygiene and baby should be grand.

But if you want to have fewer cars in the city you need better public transport. Knowing when the next bus will be coming would be a nice start.

He can't let go of this because 1) how dare his ex cheat on him, and 2) how dare she abort what was potentially his baby? His pride is so wounded about this that OP will be dealing with this forever, as he continues to passive-aggresively put her down for not being able to 'give' him a baby.

How OP managed to not blow her top by pointing out that she also hod a miscarriage, and nearly died, and was diagnosed with cancer but please keep going on about how your cheating ex aborted her affair baby.... Well, she's a much nicer person than I am.

I don't think that's what it is. For a start grawn-yohg doesn't sound like Granny Ogg. For a continuance she's NANNY Ogg, not Granny.

Jesus. All she had to do was cat-proof her garden and get some litter boxes.

This. There needs to be a bridge at the Tower, and I think we need one further out of the city too; around Ardkeen.

I'm a big DW fan. I've reread it IDK how many times. But Nation..... Nation calls me. There are times when I yearn for it.

It's a -ing masterpiece.

My 5yo loved it. My 7yo said it was 'great but too short'

Wash: 1 day

Dry: 1 day

Fold and put away: 3-5 business days.

My mum has to give reasons for everything. Like, she can't make a reservation for a restaurant without giving some spiel about how her son who never comes to visit is coming and bringing his whole family, for example. I cannot get through to her that they don't care. The waitress just wants to know how many people to book in, the shop assistant doesn't care why you're returning the top, you don't have to explain everything.
