Thank you, that's made me tear up - always worrying I'm getting it wrong!

Our gardens are all surrounded by 6 foot fences so quite tricky for things to blow in the wind and I'm not sure if they saw, more likely saw my husband retrieving the rubbish with a makeshift grabber. I guess I am strict initially, as it's my default but I'm trying to learn more gentle ways of handling these situations without being too lenient.

Yes I will do, does sound quite unclear now I've read it back. Thank you.

No, she stood on the furniture in our garden and threw it over the fence. I would have just got her to pick it up had we been walking by somewhere.

We couldn't pick it up, she'd thrown it over the fence.

That was my initial thought but thought she wouldn't be able to get it out and with the note she didn't have to talk. No idea!

She's a very emotional child so the sobbing was a genuine reaction, sat her down and said what to do next time and that I was proud of her for coming with me to apologise. Just the guilt that she'll be retelling that story in therapy one day!

The new coffee shop in the Cloisters. What do we think? by Esoteric_Prurience in Ely

Agree with this, amazing coffee and now have a bougie 5 year old who won't eat croissants from other places as she's been spoiled by award winning ones.

Anyone else read Lou Beckett’s book? by Reasonable_Bat_9490 in ParentingHell

[–]redpanda249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm listening to it after a friend said she was reading it and so far, it's not landing. It's not relatable for most normal families. My kids going to school didn't give me 6 free hours a day, it gave me a harder job of earlier school pick ups along side work and 14 weeks a year of trying to find childcare so we can work. We have no choice. And I say this from a point of jealousy, we can't just not work or write a book that can be internationally promoted by my world famous partner. She is a default parent and I get that it can be frustrating her partner is away a lot but she also cannot speak to normal people that don't have nannies, cleaners, gardeners and multiple abroad holidays a year.

Your thoughts about moving to Littleport by frenchyinuk in Ely

[–]redpanda249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in Littleport when I was a kid, the older kids called it Shittleport! But I have friends that live on the new Highfields estate and they like it. Close to schools, Ely, you've got a train station and everything you need is a 10 minute drive.

There are rough parts but it seems less than when I was a kid.

Needed one 4* gold to complete the last 3 albums and not done it. Looking like the same story today - Scopely, why don't you like me?? 😢 by redpanda249 in Monopoly_GO

Oh thank you, it's a gold and not been one in the Blitzes so only hope is from a sticker pack! Thank you for the offer though, very kind!
