I actually thought 'fronted adverbials' was a joke when I saw people referring to it but they actually exist!

Yes I have to google things like frontal adverbials when my children get them in homework!
And the awful outdated sundress she is always on about. I honestly don't think she can throw anything away. I bet their their recycling bin is never used!
I'm a secondary English teacher and my Year 7s are always on about fronted adverbials! I really don't know why they teach it at primary as I made it to teaching secondary without ever having a clue what they were hahaha
Came here to ask if salt waters are hideous all adults, or is it just the Babs effect? Similar to how she tainted converse
It’s the case of a woman who hasn’t grown up who wants to prove that’s she’s cool and trendy when she’s age from it.
She doesn’t have the look to pull of frumpy clothes and make them cool. Some women, hate to say it but usually young slim women. Can wear saltwater or crocs and floral midi dresses with big cardi and look cool and edgy but a 40odd size 18 mum who just isn’t cool can’t pull it off.
I’m not saying that to be mean. I’m a 44 yr old size 16 myself. About the same height as Emma I’d say at 5’6/7 but know that when I wear things like that that I look like a frumpy mum. Despite that when I was a teen I wore floral dresses with dm’s and cardis and did look cool.
My daughter is 18, 5’7 and very slim with legs up to her armpits. She wears little floral dresses, chunky cardi’s and converse or dm’s and looks great, I wear them and look like a dumpy, frumpy bag lady!It’s the case of a woman who hasn’t grown up who wants to prove that’s she’s cool and trendy when she’s age from it.

Yep. Just because I looked fab at 17 in it doesn’t mean the same outfit will suit me/look good at 44. Not that I could fit into any of it now. Far too fat with my mum tum. 
If it helps, we don’t have a clue as primary teachers either!
We teach adverbs as words ending in -ly, then we have to teach adverbs of manner, time, place etc, then also fronted adverbials. But fronted adverbials can also be prepositional phrases or conjunctions or similes.. basically it’s a catch-all term for lots of thing that the DfE seemingly thought we needed! 
She’s drinking alcohol near enough every day at the minute
So she's decided the kids will have Fridays off from school work? She makes me laugh that as an ex Teacher and 'Head of Department' she can't even get her kids to do their school work but it sounds more like they're willing it's her that isn't. She'd rather sunbathe and drink alcohol.
She always mentions that her kids can't share so she gives them each the same thing. TEACH THEM TO SHARE FFS. My kid is 2 and crap at sharing but I'm forever telling her to share and trying to drum it into her that she should share toys and she's slowly starting to get it. I would not let my kid aged 7 or 9 refuse to share. It's one of the first life skills you should teach FFS because they're in nursery aged 2 or 3.
Ooh I can tell you what’s wrong with your kids babs. They’re lacking routine. You are an ex teacher so you should know exactly how important routine is to kids. Stop dicking around on tiktok, in fact, put your phone down between the hours of say 9 and 2, focus on BOTH of your children, in fact Erin is at an age where you could ask her to write a story or poem about a subject and left for half an hour while you focus on your son who needs extra help due to his age. Stop desperately trying to be ‘cool’ by twinning with your favourite child while the other one looks on bemused. Maybe that’s why he wants to watch igglepigge, because it reminds him of a time when he felt safe and loved. Just a thought.
I don't usually comment on the Brummy thread but as an ex secondary teacher myself I just don't get where she's coming from in regards to her home schooling. I have a 9 yr old who requires alot of cajoling, patience and praise as he struggles with his confidence. What I've been trying to do is just little bits. No timetable, just catching him at a good moment, getting through what I can and then moving onto something else. My point is, my boy constantly compares himself to his classmates, even now, so comparisons with siblings are just a no go. Everyone is different, has different skills, likes, dis1likes etc and having a million crayons, matching outfits and timetables is going to change that.
It must be even worse for Ethan when his mother constantly praises her girl, I imagine they’re missing being at school but even more so spending some time away from their mother!
Yes, Brummy definitely can’t claim that she hardly drinks anymore. I hope she doesn’t go back to pretending she is drunk after her one porn star martini during her and Stephens weekly pub trip while Erin and Ethan are at a club as she will have a better tolerance now!
I think the truth is she used to binge drink and get tit faced which she doesn’t do anymore. I think most people in their 30’s stop this as the hangovers get worse in your 30s, that is my experience anyway

Because 'the boy' wants to watch 'In the Night Garden' before bed she's labeled it as he's 'regressed'. She's such a mean woman and a horrible mother to him. No, he's not regressed. She still sleeps with a teddy for goodness sake!
