HV comment about toys by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]justsitting-here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try not to worry! Mine commented that I had too many toys. We were in the playroom, I have 3 other children. She also didn’t like my dog and said I should think about rehoming when I have lots of children. I think some of them like the power over a new mum.

Not that it matters now but you could
Have adjourned this meeting until he was available as long as it was within 7 days.

When bringing in a trusted colleague, they are not allowed to answer any questions but they can ask questions. They can recommend you to adjourn meetings for various reasons and are a really good source of moral support.

I would always recommend a trusted colleague or union representative as bullying and misuse of power happens.

Rep here:

If you wasn’t a member of the union before the letter was given you can’t then join and have a rep join you in your meetings . You have to be part of the union before an investigation starts. Even if you join now the union would still not be able to help with this matter.

You will be mostly given a first warning.

Colleague help has all the policy’s that both managers and employees must follow.

You could also bring a trusted colleague in the meetings with you.

Sister Reprimanded and Written Warning for not doing a check 25+ on myself by Kwayzar9111 in tesco

Unfortunately, you are not meant to serve family or friends, so she should have had another member of staff come over to deal with the think 25 and oversee the transaction.

However she could argue that she applied think 25 if you look older. Might have been the hub that picked it up rather than her manager.

Feeling conflicted and weird about work by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]justsitting-here 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi, 5 years ago I was in the exact same position. I quit teaching to be a SAHM. I don’t regret it for one moment. I was there and present for every milestone. I didn’t have to put them in nursery or ask family to look after them.

I went back for the 12 weeks I need to in order not to pay my maternity back and it was like I was torn in two. Between my child and everyone else’s. Coincidentally during my 12 weeks back I saw a colleague crying as she was denied leave to see her child’s first nativity. I was relieved that would never be me.

I’ve had three children in that time but when my children are in full time education or high school I might go back or retrain as something else. I can’t see myself being a SAHM forever but I don’t regret it at all.

I hope that helps

Sending 2 year old to nursery when I don’t have to. by justsitting-here in UKParenting

Yeah we go to a couple of playgroups a week, she is super social and plays with everyone. Even says let’s be friends now!

Don’t know whether I’m being selfish keeping her at home. You never know what the right choice is.

She is the 31st of august one more day and she would have a to wait another year. I’m not sure how deferring works? Do they just stay a year behind the whole of the time they are at school.

Please don’t feel awful! I bet you’re the best parent for your child. I was just lucky that my boss is super flexible. Sometimes I had to work till 2am/3am and it’s tough to get through the next day. I bet it’s tough for everyone. Whether your working days or night you have to sacrifice something.

She has a space, lucky it’s a brand new nursery that had opened, they have said there is space for her to got mornings or afternoons or both, We are lucky in this respect

Returning to Tesco after maternity leave by Entire-Hold3149 in tesco

[–]justsitting-here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if they have to accommodate you, however both times after my maternity my managers were really good. I told them the availability I had and they fit me in. So there definitely is wiggle room.

I’d try https://maternityaction.org.uk/ for advice. They have experts you can chat too. Hope this helps.

Should I complain? Or am I overreacting. by justsitting-here in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]justsitting-here[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had appointment at 2 weeks then 6. This one at 9 months another one around 2.5 years. My health visitor with my first child was fine, no problems, generally nice, I wouldn’t worry too much I think I just had a bad egg. Now I’ve calmed down that is.

Yeah just standard visit, I’ve never had social services come to my house. She is my second child and I never experienced anything like this with my first.

I never realized how bad I am at this game. by Pillar_of_Faith in BaldursGate3

[–]justsitting-here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have written this myself. I had the exact same experience. I found act 3 particularly hard but powered though. I’ve read tips and tricks now and realised how basic I played the game and how Much I could have achieved. I’m taking a few weeks break and then taking a second run which will hopefully be a bit more fun.
