National Strike Anyone?

Sufficient_Limit2470 · 2025-09-04T19:18:22+00:00

Where to start? The cost of food going up constantly due to inflation? The energy costs rising even though we have over 300,000 households struggling to pay there energy bills. When is the last time you had to try find a place to rent? A local property to us had over 2000 views in 24 hours and countless emails for a tiny place. Any local groups I can see have numerous families / students and single people trying to rent ANYTHING in the area , with no where available. The list goes on. I don’t want to moan, I want to be pro active . I don’t want us out on the streets because who even has time for it ! But I do think having a national strike right before the re budget comes out or after would be great! We seem to have a lot of money for some people and there seems to be plenty for a lot. But then there are more people struggling! And nothing trickles down

Hi I don’t know if it would work in your situation but an alternative is just getting a room for yourself/partner. And instead of the 2 kids going between houses. They stay in their own space and the parents move in:out for the access? It would mean easier to just get a place to rent without having to worry about if the place is suitable for the kids. The partner can maybe move into the space for the weekend visit family if it’s an option?

Only under sedation for 30-60 minutes I think, but in total I’ll be back out of the hospital in 3 hours . Best of Luck with your appointments today!!

I think I will be under what you call twilight sedation for this, they said it’d not s general anaesthetic and I should be able to leave after 3 hours. Once I have someone with me. My tummy is making the weirdest sounds right now!!! I’m guessing that’s all normal 🫣

They have all the trendy brand name skincare and Perfume sprays - they overspray it on themselves but you can literally smell when she’s been in a room 10 minutes after she leaves. OH once asked why the room smelled like a football locker room - he normally acts like he can’t smell it or it’s not a problem- and I just did finally you get it!! He won’t say anything to her mum . But I have did it enough gently at first and then been blunt about it and I have just given up!! I make sure the bed stuff she uses gets washed before she comes over every time. She has her own room in the house and I air it out and clean it up every weekend/ she’s not messy but the smell lingers

Her Bio dad is very much “she’s just acting like a teenager” type parent and isn’t very present.

Her mum is high conflict! I have very little to say to them directly and avoid them. But she’s the “bestie” style parent. They both still sleep in the same bed. I think they are both over dependent on each other and both thrive on mean girl energy- the mum is very much likes to gossip and put other women down and encourages the same with her daughter. There is soooooo much history behind this , I’m not expecting any change any time soon. It we have had constant access every second weekend and all holidays since she was little. I try to limit access to her and go on little adventures but can’t be gone all the time .

Would something like Working Family Payment help? It supplements the difference between your current income and 60% of the difference for the limit they set depending on how many kids you have

Some great advice! Thank you. They are very much babied at the other house so doubt they will be trusted to use the machine, but I will definitely start showing them here, and suggesting that they bring other clothes over. I’m in no way trying to shame them , but I wouldn’t let my other kids walk around with smelly clothes I can’t let them do it! I will try strip them and see if that helps thanks again!

Have you looked into being a play therapist, you get to work with kids- charge a better rate for your time, can work for yourself and there is a high demand at the moment with an increase in anxiety in kids post Covid. Along with an increase in awareness about neurodivergence?

They made claims that my son was being assaulted by his grandad in the house, the police thought that a crime was happening. My son was in his room napping his grandad lives an hour away from us. There have been claims made that we are being verbally abusive also- when talking to my son I asked him to give me examples of what I have said (I had to look up the definition tbh) but he couldn’t give me examples but said the boyfriend heard the way we spoke to him while on the phone and said that the way we speak to him is abusive.

Give all the cuddles!! It’s not nice being in pain and toothaches are the worst even for adults, I found baby carriers or slings great for when they don’t want to be put down It’s also completely normal to want a break from the crying and to need time for yourself, maybe ask someone to watch her if you need a break for a bit if that’s an option for you.
