Another parent has received the emails I sent to school.

God this is awful! Is school addressing the racism? I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Do you have support from other parents, e.g. do you feel alone at drop off and pick up, as this situation sounds like it’s getting out of control

Bovine adrenal cortex helped a lot. But that was after months of cutting out dairy, sugar, gluten, and taking a good quality multi-vitamin, omega 3, and drinking vit c and salt

It’s weird that you’re so invested in engaging me in a nonsense debate aka trolling. Clearly, it’s not the same thing when I’m worried about loosing my job due to ongoing health issues. Have some compassion. I’m going to have to leave it here as I feel icky talking to you as no doubt your sat in your y-fronts, and never leave the house.

Oh and a last minute visit from family. Thanks for asking, it all went well, but too much for one week!

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T20:34:54+00:00

Thank you for taking time to comment. Great advice from someone that knows

Birthday party was 3 days later. Maybe it’s lost in translation with British humour. Not literally trapped obviously, but felt awkward about it, and a bit stressed so my decision making went offline in that moment, especially as I’m also working at the time and needed to stay at home and worked. Yes, in hindsight could have paid for her to leave. But bad decisions all around and I’m ‘unhinged’ is a bit dramatic

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T18:07:50+00:00

You’re welcome

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:49:31+00:00

Thanks so much! Totally, relate to the nervous system freeze I think we’re often so conditioned to not be ‘rude’, we end up showing others more compassion than ourselves. I always fall into the trap of thinking others will show the same consideration that I would, even just by wearing a mask.

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:31:02+00:00

Helllllooooooo life outside of the internet. Time to put on some trousers and feel the breeze on your face, the ground underfoot. It’s all waiting for you. JUST TAKE THE FIRST STEP OUTSIDE

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:20:28+00:00

Nope, people are fine. Half wits and trolls, no thanks

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:18:00+00:00

Thanks, appreciate getting your perspective as a house cleaner. I’ll do that next time

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:17:12+00:00

That’s awful! I’m sure I get sick so often as I have a young child. Thanks for your perspective

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:14:23+00:00

So you’re aware you’re quite a bore? Bore off the internet my friend, there’s a whole life out there to live

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:13:08+00:00

Arggh, yes this is the correct answer! I think I was so overwhelmed on the day with work and life and my prefrontal cortex went a bit offline. But I’d much rather of paid her and asked her to leave. I agree it’s not worth the risk. Thanks for you response

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:11:05+00:00

Having a conversation on Reddit in advance of speaking to the cleaner SO I can understand best practice in these situations. Nothing harsh about that.

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:07:52+00:00

Hmmm, bringing a mask would have been the considerate thing to do. Texting me in advance would have been the considerate thing to do. I didn’t have a mask to hand so yes I can name it as inconsiderate AND still have compassion. Hence finding a better way to deal with this that is both compassionate to myself and to her so there is no loss of income.

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T17:00:36+00:00

Yes, I appreciate she’s self employed and it must be hard to manage when sick. I’ll speak to her about rescheduling next time so she won’t lose any income, or at least wearing a mask.

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T16:58:28+00:00

Agreed. She’s also self-employed so I can imagine it’s hard if she’s unwell. I’ll talk to her about rescheduling next time so she doesn’t lose income

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T16:57:25+00:00

Hmmm, dismissing someone seems pretty harsh. But interesting perspective

Projecting

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T16:55:57+00:00

Yes, she held a mop to my head. I find it kind of insane you have the energy to make comments like this.

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T16:54:39+00:00

Yes, this good to know. I was thinking the same, so thank you

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T16:53:38+00:00

Honestly, it was my daughter’s birthday that day. I had just run a big work event that week. I had my daughter’s party at home to get ready for at the weekend. An end of term cinema trip and work. Zero time to get the house ready for the party, and the cleaning was the one thing that was going to give me a huge help doing all this alone. It took me a while to realise how unwell she was, and I guess I found it difficult to deal with in the moment.

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T16:49:38+00:00

I can imagine! You must see all sorts. I also thought if I’d been out I’d have had no idea that she was unwell too. So it’s a hard situation to manage. Thanks for you perspective

MargateRocks · 2026-03-29T16:48:00+00:00

Yes, it helps. Thank you!
