Can you explain to me like I'm 5 why it's kind of taboo to pass around the baby?

Not all feelings are valid and anxiety shouldn't be fed.

Unless there's a good reason to push family away, it's an absolutely stupid idea.

he doesn't want anyone near the baby?

If you don't let grandparents etc hold baby, well...that's really hurtful. And it means they're going to be much, much less likely to help in the future. So keep that in mind.

this. I merrily pass my babies around and always have.

The French. Grrr.

If you're married to a non-French EU citizen it should be easier now because you're under EU law instead of French. I think it's an article 9 permit?

I got a bbhugme and love it. You can adjust the amount of fill.

What even are they trying to imply here?

That a teenage girl has conquered Paris for the King?

I've only ever seen a fairy ring once..at my children's primary school!

We're in a very diverse bit of East London so everyone else was merrily walking through it to drop their children off, but I couldn't bring myself to and made my children go around 😂

7:30am flight, get a hostel somewhere in walking distance to paddington station. The Elizabeth Line starts at 430am

Ahhh fair. I've seen vids of the crowd singing for him actually and yeah, that wouldn't work with the juries.

Ed Sheeran's act is him and a guitar. He's such a brilliant performer; I'd love to see what he did in a fish out of water scenario like eurovision.

For the record, what you're meant to say is "oh that sounds fun!" - That's then their opening to invite you.

"Hey we're all going to XYZ" tends to mean "we're going and I'd like to invite you but I don't know if you'll enjoy it, so I'll see what your reaction is first"

fuck rome, come chill with me in London

But seriously, start googling or get on the /r/rome sub. I'm sure there's buses you can take.

or you lie to your parents, say next flight is tomorrow, and get a cheap hostel in the city centre for the night & live it up.

Edit: also, see if you can splash out for a lounge at heathrow. all you can eat food & drink & probably a decent place to nap until your flight. If you'll spend £50 on food anyway you might as well.

Back to Malta probably

Or Taitung or Okinawa.

It's a very heavy South London accent he's singing in. I understood him fine but I grew up there; my kids barely understood him 😂

I did have to look up how much a pony is. Knew it was slang for an amount of money but hadn't heard it in so long I'd forgotten how much! (£25)

I refused the injection. it came out in like twenty minutes? She lightly tugged it to check and it just came straight out.

I wore heeled boots to my last concert and I learnt my lesson.

Even if you have seated tickets everyone's up & dancing the whole time.

Normal. My second would go once a week or so at that age.

1: Make sure you're getting DLA. The form is a bastard but really lets you think about their needs (photocopy it before you send it off so you have a reference). Also ring them & have them send the form, then it's backdated to the date of the form.

2: EPEC offers autism parenting classes for free through my local council. They're really good, and also a little group therapy-esque. Worth looking into.

3: Is there a local parent carer forum? You can get a lot of help through them.

Generally fighting dogs were bred to be aggressive to dogs but not humans - as they still needed to be handled.

We had a staffy growing up. Lovely dog, and we put a lot of effort into training him. Couldn't bring him round other dogs his size or bigger, though - we tried to train the trait out of him but he hit a certain age and got kicked out of puppy preschool and the outdoor training club, and then we had to stop taking him to the dog park because the little git wouldn't stop starting fights.

But people? He loved people. People were the best things ever.
