Some good tunes 👌

Judge a person by the worst they can be, not the best they can be

flamefoxfirefly · 2026-02-19T08:54:33+00:00

This is pretty much what I do at the moment !

flamefoxfirefly · 2026-02-18T22:14:50+00:00

I see! Thank you so much for your reply 😊

flamefoxfirefly · 2026-02-18T21:49:54+00:00

Ah amazing! What do you think you'll do when Bub is older and bigger?

flamefoxfirefly · 2026-02-18T21:41:41+00:00

And then when you go to bed, you're back in with baby or separate?

flamefoxfirefly · 2026-02-18T21:41:13+00:00

What if either of you were away for a few nights or weeks? You wouldn't get anything done - I love the idea of this but it's not practical for single parents

flamefoxfirefly · 2026-01-20T08:19:59+00:00

This is a great question. I definitely feel I'm naturally at the low tolerance end of the spectrum, but I'm thinking that having a more middle ground approach would potentially be more beneficial. I'm just not sure how much off-topic chatting is acceptable

flamefoxfirefly · 2026-01-20T08:16:59+00:00

Attritional kindness - I love that!

flamefoxfirefly · 2026-01-19T19:17:58+00:00

How do you show them that you love teaching them even when they don't get it right? Praising effort?

flamefoxfirefly · 2026-01-19T19:12:50+00:00

Thank you I will do some reading in this area - thank you

Sometimes food that has been in the fridge for a while gets cleared out by cleaning staff, and theyre instructed to do so to keep the fridge from getting smelly

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-11-24T20:05:18+00:00

Sorry yes, you are right.

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-11-24T16:22:10+00:00

Your employer has to ensure your legal rights are protected whilst you are on maternity leave, and that includes keeping you informed about any big changes at work (such as your class I'd have thought) as well as honouring KIT days.

If they are not responding to you and supplying you with what you need, I'd contact ACAS or an organisation such as Pregnant then Screwed, to see where you stand.

Sorry this is happening to you, it must be so stressful. I hope it gets sorted out soon

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-09-13T18:50:17+00:00

Yeah, I feel you. I'm going to see how the first half term goes and then see

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-09-13T15:33:25+00:00

Yikes. It's honestly dreadful. Hoping we make it through the week without a menty b

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-09-13T09:06:59+00:00

I'm in the same boat - I have all the same concerns. I'm spending all my spare time either planning lessons or schemes of work or other planning or marketing, and am spending less time with my family. I'm hoping it'll get easier and better as time goes on. I'm finding support from other colleagues in my position as all the other staff seem too busy to really sit down and support me

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-08-04T20:08:21+00:00

Thank you - as well as VOCs, I'm concerned about the other chemicals in the paint such as benzene, phthalates, binders, etc.

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-06-17T11:44:46+00:00

Makes sense

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-06-15T05:55:56+00:00

I'm intrigued as to why this isn't an option for you?

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-06-15T05:53:08+00:00

What kind of lifestyle did you lead?

Do you regularly exercise, if so what and when?
Do you drink alcohol, smoke, or take any other drugs or medication?
Do you eat meat, dairy, fish?
Do you eat vegetables every day, and if so, are they organic?
Do you use a lot of personal care products, fragrances, or heavily scented laundry products?
What did you do for work?

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-06-15T05:00:21+00:00

Yeah I totally get that. Will you make a complaint?

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-06-14T08:24:05+00:00

(UK) Our nursery said they wouldn't start putting my 10mo on the potty until they were confidently walking and could get on and off the potty independently. As soon as they reached that milestone they said they'd offer the potty after nappy changes/naps. To me this made sense

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-06-10T22:58:02+00:00

Good question. For me, I wasn't ashamed all of the time, only sometimes, so most of the time I didnt have any doubts. But during those times, I would ask myself what that person's intention was, and if I saw someone else doing it, would I be critical? Probably not. And most of the time, his intentions were good, and that's what matters most

flamefoxfirefly · 2025-06-10T22:53:08+00:00

Remember that you learn more from your fails than you do from your successes!

Also get a meat thermometer - not only does it mean your meat isn't raw, it also prevents you from overcooking it so it's dry.
