He's also suggested, out of the kindness of his heart, that all mobile phones should be surrendered to him before bedtime so that he doesn't wake anyone up on his sweep of the house to check everything is showing the correct time.

willowwispy have you got 11 men to go in the dressing gowns?
Speaking of men- got a friend request on FB from a man who hurt me very much a few years ago. It's very strange. We've not spoken since 2011. I quickly looked at his profile and he seems to have a new girlfriend who is quite young. He had many girlfriends during the four years he messed me about.
Maybe he's trying to show off? We've never been FB friends so I'm perplexed! Men, eh? Ignoring the request obv as he's a massive male chicken

DS is moving schools this year, he's 12 in June. His old school had an after school/nursery that ran until 6pm. The new school appears to have after school clubs like football but no formal homework club to keep an eye on him.
He tells me he is too old to go to the childminders any more, I don't have any friends or family who could take him after school, and I don't want him roaming the streets all evening or sat home alone.
I'm currently self employed and work my own hours so it's not a problem, but I had it in my head that I'd go back to having a proper job when he started big school. Only problem is that if I do then there's three hours between him finishing school and me getting home.
Does anyone have any suggestions of age appropriate supervised childcare for a 12 yr old? Or am I better off waiting a few years before going back to work proper?
This is a very difficult decision.
With my three I always picked them up from school as this was the best one on one time we had, chatting on the way home in the car without the distractions of TV etc. Some times we went to a caf! for a drink on the way home which was also a good place for chats
We were very luck y in having a high school which had a range of after school activities run by the school so quite often I was bringing 1 home and leaving the other behind to collect at 4.30 or 5. Also our school had the library open after school until 4 or 4.30“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
