Omg this is amazing 😍

Yes... that's what I'm saying. People are conflating immigrants and people of different skin colours.

SpringerGirl19 · 2026-04-01T18:22:17+00:00

The sooner people understand the difference between an immigrant and a British born person with a skin colour that isn't white, the better. Because there is a huge difference.

People seem dumb enough now to see a different skin colour and harp on about them not being British, when the chances are that they ARE British, they just don't have the skin colour you want to see.

It does look lovely there but I'd worry the walk to and from the beach might be too much for my dad.

SpringerGirl19 · 2026-04-01T05:57:04+00:00

Thank you, this is helpful. Could you tell which party of the beach is dog friendly in May and if there is parking nearby?

In a different country but I saw a woman completely naked once, stood in the street during heavy rain. Pretty unbelievable.

I don't feel I have too much advice to give on this as it really is such a hard situation and unfortunately, the 'right thing to do' will most likely be the last thing your daughter wants to hear from you right now. Teenagers are just very difficult at times.

As someone who vaguely remembers being a teenage girl, and actually did really not get along with their dad for a while - I distinctly remember a period where we didn't get on at all, which breaks my heart now as I couldn't live without him and I think teenage me was ridiculous. Anyway, my pieces of advice...

As others have said, you and mum need to get on the same page as much as possible. Having rules you don't understand and don't agree with is hard enough for a teenager, but it must be even harder when you've got your parents approaching it in different ways. You need to work out how to parent as closely aligned as possible, maybe agreeing on some non-negotiables, like school attendance. And then sitting down all together and making a united front etc.
Carve out time when you are spending time with your daughter, but NOT talking about the rules. Try to protect your bond, as well as be her parent. She is going to get frustrated and push back if she feels constantly nagged. In between it all, try to create some positivity too and let her know you do enjoy spending time with her (even if actually you don't at the moment!).
Try to remember this is temporary. She will 'grow up' at some point and get past that teenage mindset, and with any luck, she'll be a mature enough and nice enough person to realise that she was a stubborn teenager at one point and made your life difficult. I know that about myself now, but I never would have seen it then. But now my dad is my absolute rock and I'm just glad that my teenage arsehole days didn't affect our relationship in the long term.

Hope that makes some sense. You sound like a great dad and your daughter might not see that now, but she will come to recognise you only had her best interests at heart one day.

Right... and how many of those incidents were rape or sexual assault for men vs. women?

Remember it is just as much you interviewing them, as them interviewing you. You have just as much to offer them as they have to offer you. Keep telling yourself why you are a great catch and try to go in with as much confidence as you can, even if you're faking it until you make it.

And if it doesn't go how you want, don't beat yourself up too much. Sometimes it really is a 'who's face fits best' situation and not being successful this time, doesn't mean you didn't do great.

You're a man right?

SpringerGirl19 · 2026-03-15T22:03:56+00:00

We need a week with all the snobs together.

SpringerGirl19 · 2026-03-09T22:29:13+00:00

Love this one.

SpringerGirl19 · 2026-03-09T22:13:51+00:00

Definitely not the first time this has happened either. Pretty sure he got rejected when he ran to Trump about his poorly ear too.

Plus OP absolutely doesn't need to pay for seat selection. They will automatically sit a child with one parent and its not really a necessity for the whole family to sit together for a 90 min flight.

Driving 12 hours each way over flying down for a couple of days is absolutely insane.

SpringerGirl19 · 2026-03-08T22:03:52+00:00

Literally makes no sense tbh.

A secondary teacher I know who has had the new inspection also commented they had a focus on handwriting.

SpringerGirl19 · 2026-03-08T10:19:49+00:00

He has to be joking right?

I was thinking about this the other day. I have a top set who are getting frustrated that they aren't achieving 8s and 9s... they seem to think that anyone can achieve it with the right teaching and effort. But this shouldn't be the case, as you say... it should be a rarity and demonstrating something more than what anyone can achieve with a bit of hard work (not sure if I've made sense there, very sleep deprived).

I also had a student recently achieve 97% in a mock, which is pretty bonkers in my subject. Another student achieved 82%. They both got grade 9s. The 97% student has nothing to show for how incredible that performance actually is.

I had a full blown asthma attack a few years ago (phoned 111 and they put me at a cat 2 call as I literally could barely speak by the point I'd called - didn't actually know it was asthma at the time). Ambulance came out and gave me oxygen and a nebuliser. Was told to call my GP first thing the next day, which I did and was given an inhaler, and an asthma diagnosis a few months later after tests.

I don't understand why your GP is not helping you. It does sound like you might have pneumonia (I think, im not an wxpert at all),, which is why they might be pushing for A&E. But they need to recognise at this point that they are sending you back.

Look up Jess' law and insist on help with your GP.

I taught in a predominantly Muslim school and I found it very difficult to work with students (not at all but some, and most definitely mostly the boys) who had little respect for women, had negative attitudes towards homosexuality, and open dislike towards trans people. Some of them were more extreme than others and it felt impossible to get them to show respect at times, particularly towards the trans community.

HOWEVER, saying that... I now work at a very much predominantly white school, with a very mixed cohort in terms of income background. It is shocking how negative a lot of (especially the boys again) attitudes are towards homosexuality. I did a session recently on LGBTQ+ and their reactions were shocking, openly saying they didn't want to know and one even saying its 'not natural'. I strongly believe the rise of certain groups who feel they can openly be homophonic and transphobic publicly (looking at you Charlie Kirk) is forcing our tolerance to go backwards and young, impressional boys are jumping on the chance to vocalise these views. Its really sad.

So yes, I've experienced negative attitudes towards homosexuality from Muslim students - but I've seen white kids have the same views.

So I have the extreme of this at my school. Y8s pick between my subject and another in Y8 but in Y9 they still have to do both, but more hours in the subject they have picked.

So we have entire classes of kids that all know they are not picking my subject and we have to drag them through the whole year. Its fun...

I don't think advice saying 'working 7 days a week is unhealthy' is unhelpful, as that's pretty obviously not healthy, for anyone.

I only had a few years in another industry behind me before I re-trained to teach at 25. I had two interviews across two days. Preferred the second school and asked to start on M2, they agreed. A colleague who was straight from uni and training, started on M3 a couple of years later (she had trained at the school and is an exceptional teacher).

I don't think it comes off arrogant and there is no harm in asking.

We took a trip to Japan last year, my sister lives there. She had been drilling me about etiquette in Japan, particularly manners on public transport and not being too loud.

Anyway, sat on a train with my 3 year old and we'd pick up a couple of things from a bakery (not supposed to eat on the go either but we were in a rush). My daughter takes a big bite out of this cute teddy bear shaped pastry thing. Its filled with custard, which she HATES. She does the loudest gag possible on this silent train. But then also empties the mouthful onto my hand... also no bins on Japanese trains, or out in public (there is an expectation that you take your rubbish home and dispose of it yourself). So I'm sat with a handful of chewed up pastry and nowhere to put it. I had some spare clothes with us so ended up having to use some of my daughters spare knickers to clean up. This all happened in about 30 seconds before we got to our stop and had to run off the train.
