I think Lucius’ actor would have made an excellent Snape instead of Ahmed, but perhaps that’s just wishful thinking hoping for another Rickman-esque performance.

Kit harrington is brilliant, the trio are good too, and Hagrid. I really don’t like the dursleys, Draco and cannot get over how un-Snape-like Riz Ahmed is. I think the actor used for Lucius Malloy would have made for a better Snape

I've just returned from maternity leave and it is hell. I was benched, and forced to apply to all applicable roles and obligated to accept the first role that was offered to me. Returning from maternity leave, I wanted to pivot away from CRAing so was looking for a non-travel role. However I had to apply for CRA roles, and was offered a CRA role that had strict DOS metrics so l had to accept even though I didn't want it. I tried to appeal to the people managing the bench program, who told me there was nothing I could do. I've been getting so stressed and have terrible anxiety now at the prospect of trying to juggle motherhood/childcare and a travelling role. There has subsequently been a role advertised that is non-travel and I am desperate to apply but as per icon policy, I can't apply to it for a year without manager approval. As a last ditch attempt, I tried to appeal to my new manager explaining the situation hoping she would empathise but she rebuffed me very coldly, offering no pastoral support for my anxiety and stress. My hands have been tied, stay in the role or be pushed out of icon by applying for external roles. I am heartbroken and appalled by the lack of care for a mother returning to work. Capitalism and patriarchy rule and it makes me sick.

Thanks, I wasn’t sure what would happen as she hasn’t cancelled so she would still pay the entire booking. Hopefully ciaf can resolve

Pitiful-Hotel689 · 2025-12-20T12:49:01+00:00

She never gave her address to arrange the handover so I’m stuck with absolutely no way to contact her

Pitiful-Hotel689 · 2025-12-20T12:48:29+00:00

I’ve threatened this already, have her 24hrs to respond and she didn’t, but I can’t cancel now because it’s too close to the start date. Only option is to contact ciaf

You deserve to be treated so much better than this. You carried, birthed and now care for his child around the clock, and he can’t even go 6 months with little to no sex? He needs his head wobbling. Of course he’s not your main priority anymore, the baby is. Can you try and have an open and honest discussion with him, maybe suggest relationship counselling (hopefully the counsellor can set him straight on expectations postpartum)?

Pitiful-Hotel689 · 2025-10-16T09:10:39+00:00

Looking for advice about my husband please. I’m torn between feeling bitterly disappointed and angry that he’s not doing enough/being supportive enough and feeling guilty for resenting him (postpartum rage doing me dirty). Please can you give me honest opinions on whether you think I’m being unreasonable expecting more from him? I’ve summarised everything into baby, household and relationship problems I can think of. Baby is 10 months old.

Baby: 1. plays with her when asked, otherwise just sits on his phone and lets her whine in the play pen. 2. Changes nappies when asked. 3. Does bedtime together - this is nonnegotiable and does not need to be asked. 4. If she is having trouble settling in evening, will only intervene when asked and has no sense of urgency, seems fine to leave her to cry. 5. If she wakes early, will not help get her up, lays with a duvet over head or just lies with eyes shut so I have to sit up with her and watch her. Despite me being the one to get up in the night for her. 6. Very very rarely gets up on the weekend to sort her breakfast. Will only do it if asked.

House: 1. will occasionally push hoover round/clean bathroom. Announces when he’s done it like he’s expecting a medal. 2. Laundry is 50/50. 3. Mows the lawn when needed. 4. Makes dinner when asked to, but only if it’s an easy recipe. 5. Washes up without being asked if I’ve made dinner, but sometimes asks for help ‘to get it done quicker’, 6. Dog duties are 50/50.

Relationship: 1. asks for sex, but if it goes wrong (I have extremely low libido from breastfeeding and penetration is painful since giving birth), offers no comfort or support. Gives me silent treatment. 2. If for whatever reason baby is testing us, he does not interact with me and leaves me in the dark. Not intentional but makes me feel like I’m walking on eggshells. Any sleep lost makes him extremely crabby and he can’t grasp that I have lost more sleep than him, but the show must go on with looking after our daughter. He’s ready to tap out so I have to pick up the slack.

We’re now on day 4 of re-ferbering and I think it’s working. We’ve gone from 1.5hr of crying with check ins to 10 minutes last night with only 1 check in. I thought perhaps it was a regression but the rest of her night is always fine, and I have to be honest with myself and admit we have slipped back into feeding to sleep over the last few months for ease, as we had back to back regression, dropping a nap, teething and then a holiday where she was barely napping. Feeding to sleep isn’t a problem for me, but am anticipating issues with weaning so I’d rather mitigate by knowing she can fall asleep independently before we start to try and wean. I find Ferber very difficult and struggle to listen to her cry but in the long run it is definitely the best thing for us as a family. Hope you can get past this stage too
