For resident parents with contact orders, how do you figure out Xmas contact?
I know each situation is different, but I wondered if you could share how you come to a decision on how much contact to offer over Christmas and of what days? I thought 12-1pm on Xmas day for the boys to go to their fathers so that they get to spend the day with both parents. But then I have no idea how many nights to…
Starting new job - how much of an effort do you make to know those around you?
I only have 1 person I work with and get on with them quite well. The rest around me are other teams and we may occassionally chitchat but I do find it quite difficult to get to know them as I don't work directly with them.

preteen internet sex education/puberty/relationships resources?
Hi, my DS is 10, I've always tried to be very open with him about the physical and emotional aspects of growing up, relationships and sex etc, and will answer any questions he has in an age appropriate way. This week he asked me to change the settings on a game on his PC for him, and while I was doing it, one of his tabs…
Bit of dilemma - not sure what to do
Firstly, I don't need medical advice. This is to do with timing. My eldest is 15 and has recently been diagnosed with keratoconus which is an eye disease. Unfortunately, it is progessing and if let he will end up blind in that eye and need a corneal transplant. There is a new procedure which he can have done which is about…
