Help with mortgage application and changing jobs

MortgageMamma

I agree, the education system is too intense for kids at the moment too. I have a girl doing a degree, one doing gcses who is top of every subject, and a son with aspergers syndrome in Y7. I also have a five year old who gets homework every night. I cannot cope at present as a parent with the demands the schools are making of my time. My child with aspergers was physically ill with stress during the latest round of personal revision plans (2 hours a night per child x 3 weeks) and he broke down completely in test week just gone. Two of my friends have just quit teaching for this and other reasons. There is no doubt the education system is a mess - somethings got to change before there are no quality teachers left. My husband runs the IT for a local high school, its just the same there, nobody is happy anymore (even him). Anyway no job is worth that level of stress, life is too short.

If you can, try to get a copy of "the mindful way through depression" by Mark Williams,John Teadsal, Zindel Segal and Jon Kabat-Zin. Its an exceptional book/CD combination - I was meds free and a positive confident person again just 12 months after starting it. If you can't find a copy I will lend you mine. Inbox me if you would like it, I am happy to post it to you.

Kind regards

That's so kind of you, thank you so much! I have just been on Amazon and ordered a copy. Hopefully this will be helpful.

I'm sorry you have so much going on in your life at the moment, I don't doubt the schools but as much pressure on the kids as they do the teachers. I hope your son starts to feel a little better soon.

Thanks, once again for your help and advice. X
