MSE Parents Club Part 10

I had a really really good link that talked about BMI's bullcrappiness with good photos, but now I can't find it...it basically showed a bunch of normal-looking women that "apparently" have a BMI of obese/overweight and demonstrated how archaic & inaccurate it is. BMI was created in the 1840s, you guys, and it's incredible the medical profession still use it today!!

SS, I am :eek: :eek: at your neighbor, but in a small, tiny way it's good to see that German police are quite thorough with allegations of abuse (I hope you see what I mean - in a third-person sort of way, not YOU obviously)

Meeting ILs was fine...I always talk it up to be much worse in my head - I just have zero patience these days...

eta: AHA, FOUND IT: Why BMI is ridiculous

Ohh!!! Do they actually work well? I would like to get one for the boys (DS1 is very into astronomy).

And don't be upset, you must be very interesting for him to want to spend a lot of time trying to annoy you.

He loves it

And he's just angry that we complained about his illegally mounted stereo.

I'd pay for DS2 to get in, warn him that he's not to chase DS1 and his mates, and tell him that a special dessert is in the balance and if you hear of his chasing the bigger kids he won't get any.

just spoke to a lovely lady who does childminding.
i di mention bout her a week or so ago as she's newly registered, but she has been in childcare for 12 years and used to manage a nursery as well (last 6 years). she can be flex although her prices are fab. 3 days is cheaper than 2 days nursery. and this would mean that DH doesnt have to have a set day off work if need be.

need to get back to her as she is on mat leave till july but she's had loads of enquiries and is prob going to start from May which would suit us!!
so definitely need to get my hours sorted at work on Tues. am going to visit this lady with DH in next week as well. she sounded fab on the phone and has a little baby boy and a 7 year old girl. she is only advertising for 4 places and said that she can be flexible with her work as her DH works shifts and is mostly out till 9pm.

fingers crossed this might be the one!!

She sounds lovely

Just be aware that she is only allowed to look after 3 children under 5 at any one time. And IIRC she can only have 1 baby under 12 months at any one time....these numbers include her own children...which doesn't fit your situation :undecided

Is she working with an assistant?

There are lots of positives to working with an assistant but if the assistant is off ill then she will have to turn some children away (or get an alternative assistant in).






Edit - Tara - YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!

No more crappy hospital!!!

no mention of not being able to have Kian. is there somewhere i can check this out?? direct gov says no more than 3 under 5. she sounded so nice on the phone and would be ideal for us. no assistant.
