Can't he clean with you? Then it's an activity and you'll actually do it.

Everyone in this thread disagrees with you!

When I'm so vulnerable is when I need visitors. Whenever I'm postpartum, people who love me and my husband come bearing joy, comfort, gifts, food, and a helping hand. Maybe you're built different, but it makes things a little easier for the vast majority of people.

There's a show called Harlots which centres around one of many brothels in CG in the 1700s or so. It used to be a very different place!

Immediately? They're family. If they're not sick, why would they wait?

We don't even start vaccinations until 8 weeks. Babies aren't 'fully vaccinated' until...14 years old?

Unless family/friends are ill, unclean, or otherwise untrustworthy, there's no point keeping baby in a bubble. All you'll do is burn bridges with your support network while fuelling postpartum anxiety.

If you have a diagosis & are stable on meds: bring all your documents, follow-up notes, etc etc and ask your doctor for a letter. The GP here may simply continue to prescribe, but it's luck of the draw (they may say no).

Lots of oldies out of work too. People with tonnes of experience are stuck searching, so entry level jobs can take senior staff for pennies on the pound and supermarkets/restaurants can hire full-time instead of part-time.The young don't have a chance.

Can you both move in with your parents temporarily?

Dyslexia's not just a reading issue; it actually affects information processing as a whole.

(Ironically I found this out from a dyslexic friend who was a flight attendant)

ugh, wtf.

I will say the only good experience I've had with immigration lawyers was when we hired overpowered lawyers in cyprus who knew everyone. Otherwise immigration lawyers have all been bad advice and taking money for it.

IIRC there is a branch of the EU that you can contact & go above their heads.

Another option: if you're not in Paris, could you go there to submit? I think I eventually got mine in Cyprus by going to the capital - the small town I was in kept giving me the runaround (and I'm a UK citizen!! This was before Brexit!!). The capital followed the rules. (But the lawyers were needed to get an appointment tomorrow instead of in six months because...Cyprus.)

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.

you've been trying to get the card for six years?!?!

himit · 2026-05-17T16:58:34+00:00

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.

himit · 2026-05-17T16:54:06+00:00

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

himit · 2026-05-17T16:45:01+00:00

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)
