But at the moment it looks like I'll be having a childminder as I am veering towards the more personal approach ie Joshua getting attention!!
I'd certainly choose a (good) childminder over a nursery....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Hmm, yes I am obviously very old-fashioned, and quite taken aback. I guess this is the price that working mothers pay these days, but somehow my mother worked without sending us all off to nursery at that age. She didn't do it all herself either, as we had live-in mother's helps, but we were at least being cared for in our home surroundings and by the same people all the time.
My son didn't go to a childcare nursery at all, he did go to a Kindergarten for 3 mornings a week, 3 hours each day, though, before he started school.
We have a full-time nanny, which is a great childcare option - we've had the same nanny since my son was a baby, and he loves her dearly. He's part of her family as well as ours.
But it's not a cheap option....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
This is where I try to work out where you live haha. I live in Hyde Park at the moment (what fun) but my boyfriend lives in Harrogate and I used to live there too. To be fair if you were living in Harrogate your house would have doubled in price.They are - we live on one salary in a mortgaged property, my OH works for the minimum wage (if we can do it anyone can):D
Our house cost £169,000 so not really really cheap, although I accept we are outside of the south east. Between Leeds/Harrogate.
I think it's about expectation, we choose for me to be a SAHM that's more important to me than living in a bigger house, having two cars, having foreign holidays.
We are happy with UK caravan holidays, home cooked food, second hand clothes, hand me downs where possible. If we can't afford it we don't buy it.
I basically don't want CS, I don't feel the need. I get upset at the idea that the father doesn't want his son but thats how he feels. And obviously I am happy with my boyfriend which probably changes how I feel, maybe if I wasn't I might be thinking about wanting CS!Money money money.

I am also not sure whether to message them now or when the baby is born? Because if he hadn't told them it might be a shock but if he has and they are just being rude then....
I personally would not stand on ceremony. It could be that he hasn't told them, or they don't know how to approach you about this - this probably isn't a situation that was covered in classes at their finishing school. The very worst that can happen is that they make it clear that they don't want to know, in which case F*** 'em!No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Hmmm I guess, at least then I know they do actually know and I wasn't being fobbed off. If they don't want anything to do with their grandchild then oh well!Money money money.

Could make them a card using a scan photo ?
Would be a stone heart that ignored that.Inside this body lays one of a skinny woman
but I can usually shut her up with chocolate!
When I thank a post in a thread I've not posted in,
it means that I agree with that post and have nothing further to add.

Well I got the house I wanted, but when I went to sign the contract on Friday I noticed the agent had put down different terms to what we had agreed on the phone, with my baby due any day now there was no time to renegotiate I just want to move and be as settled as I can be before the baby comes. I now know I definitely need a c-section which gives a six week recovery period and I didn't want to stay where I am with the current agents evicting me through the courts while I am recovering from major abdominal surgery and looking after a newborn baby.
I move on Monday and the operation is on Thursday unless I go into labour naturally before hand in which case it will be performed earlier but doesn't look like I will thankfully.
I had agreed with the agent on a two year contract, but when I signed the contract she has put down a 1 year AST saying they may extend for a second year and there shall be an increase of at least 3% but not more than 8%, which would take the monthly rent back up to what it was before we negotiated it in the first place as it was too high for me. So I doubt I will be living there for longer than a year, I feel rather cheated as it was NOT at all what we agreed weeks ago, but right now I am not in a position to argue about it. At least now we have a nice home for the next year and the baby will be a year old before we have to face moving again.0 -
What absolute !!!!!!! I really, really hope that market-rents drop like a stone where you are in the next 12 months and then you can negoitate the rent down, not up.0
