If u hear one more time that they didnt have these rules when they raised children I will scream xxxx

My mums favourite phrase is a sarcastic "how on earth did you survive as children".

Dh nan is obsessed with the car seat ! " in my day we didn't need all this stuff....All u need is to pop lo in a carrycot on the back seat

Errrrrrrrrr yeah that sounds great

you should say in our day there are more cars, more drunks and more morons on the road...

My niece Sophie sleeps on her front as she screams on her back. She's been like that since birth.

Something at work really upset me today. Our staff members can be so awful to our customers at times, not understanding individual's needs etc. one member of staff make a customer with severe learning difficulties so nervous and upset today that the poor girl shit herself. That's so awful and humiliating. They then told the girl to come back and see me later and I just apologised to her about what happened earlier and and told her not to worry about anything, we wouldn't be stopping her money etc. I felt dreadful for the poor girl. It really shook me up.

That's awful Sarachka. Your job sounds really tough given the spectrum of people you have to work with, from complete hardnosed arseholes to really vulnerable individuals like the girl today. I'm sure you managed to reassure her

 

[Sarachka]

When she came back to see me I didn't call her to my desk as I know that would come over like an interrogation so I went and sat next to her on the sofa and kept putting my hand on her arm etc. I wasn't around when the initial incident happened, a colleague filled me in. It should never have happened.

That's the thing Bethany, so many members of staff assume everyone is a bullshitting liar. This poor girl really has a severe disability, you can see it just from seeing her walk across the room etc. she can't be expected to do exactly the same job search as everyone else. I don't think she can even really read the job page of the newspaper. We need to work WITH these people not against them. It was an awful day for equality and diversity!

My mum is really cool about all that stuff- true she slept us on our tums and true she was told to drink a Guinness a day throughout pregnancy for her iron levels but she does see that advice usually changes for a reason!! Take my sensor mat- obviously she didn't have one for her batch but she really liked Holly having one when she was over. I love my mum.

My mom is also like this. I love it. She's always been really respectful of what we do and don't do with the kids. Maybe now she thinks I've got more experience - she just had me to practice on and by all accounts I was very easy

DH's mom is more of the other variety

The baby from my very first birth - and the reason I got into doula-ing- is going to be at my baby shower His parents have moved back to the city. I'm so excited to see them. I practically delivered him myself because we were in a state hospital along with 12 other birthing women. He's over 4 now!

you know what youre doing in your job, dont come across many like you that actually want to help others, you need a promotion!

 

[mummyApril]

who wants to help me decide what rug to get? il post some pictures?

 

[Sarachka]

Thanks April. Don't get me wrong, Im no pushover. If I know someone isnt doing what they need to be doing and have had ample warnings and it's been explained etc, then I have no issue with sanctioning someone but jeez this wasn't the case here. The woman who did it is infamous on trying to "catch people out" and referring them for sanctions. She is the grade below me, and so can't sanction, she has to refer someone with the authority to do so, me. There is no way I would dream of putting a sanction on this girl. She HAD job searched but she'd not written it out perfectly, put dates in the future etc. well I bet filling that book took her ages and she'd tried her best. It must be my hormones. I still feel so upset for her.
