By the end of the year every student is reading, writing and doing maths. Our eldest has been at school since January he can read and write and he can count to 100 and do maths, minus and plus just like every other student in the class. Controversial Device Repels Teenagers24 Apr 2008 02:37 PM They have one of those outside and inside a shop here, we cannot go near it with our children as the sounds hurts their ears so much they cry and our baby screams, it's disgusting. We can't even walk by the shop anymore we have to take a different route. It's disgusting and it should never be allowed. Matching Kitchen and Bathroom24 Apr 2008 08:44 AM Surely it just makes you feel like you should be having a poo in your kitchen and cooking tea in the bathroom? How Much is the Tooth Fairy Laying Out These Days?23 Apr 2008 10:17 AM When I was younger my mum always put the money under our pillow and a leaves on the bed to show the tooth fairy had been, we got 50p. We have only had to be the tooth the fairy once and we did the samething but we left £1 as you cannot even get a little plastic car for that amount of money, you can't even get two small chocolate bars. My mum still has a little box for each child full of little teeth. Friend or Parent to Your Child?19 Apr 2008 04:01 AM I think you have to be both a friend and a parent, if you are just a friend your children are probably going to run amock, if you are just a parent they will probably think you are an evil strict witch. Infidelity: Insult and Injury18 Apr 2008 12:24 PM If my husband had an affair or one night stand which resulted in a child and we were still together, I would never do anything that would be anti to the child, just because they were born into a poor circumstance doesn't give anyone the right to treat them as a lesser. That child may not be part of me, but it's part of him not matter who the mother is or how that child was concieved. If the best thing was for the child to live with us, then he/she would, if it was best that he/she lived with mum then that would happen and they would always be welcome in our home. "But it's Organic!"17 Apr 2008 02:42 AM If you can, go direct to a farm to buy your meat, I do and I find it alot cheaper than a butcher, plus then you can see the conditions the animals are kept in and how they are killed. Eco Smart Home Tips16 Apr 2008 02:32 PM It's not just household energy though. It is also, where do you buy your food from? How are your veg and salad grown? Where did your cleaning products come from? How many chemicals do they contain? Can You Live on One Income? Insurance and Auto15 Apr 2008 02:53 PM We live on one income at the moment, Frank recieves the standard 9months paid maternity leave that everyone gets here in the UK, but instead of spending it we put it into an account for when the child is older so they already have savings. We havn't had to cut down on anything and there has been no financial strain for us. You Can't Have Your Cake and Eat it Too: Thoughts on Refusing Vaccines14 Apr 2008 05:29 AM Not many people here bother with a Flu vaccine unless they are high risk, such as the elderly or those with immune problems. Here you don't have to provide your legal name to go to school so forcing people to bring medical records would make that rule nul I suppose. Here though most people have their vaccinations done at school, in reception the nurses come and give everyone MMR or a booster if they have already had one, then Meningitus jab when they are 8 I believe. Then when you are 14 they come around and test everyone for TB immunity then a week later it is jab time. I don't think they do tetnus and polio in schools anymore though, but if you injure yourself at school you are taken straight to hospital to have it done. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 |
