Teenagers are such a selfish bunch. Good on your daughter for not being a self centred sheep though! Sure she has the chest infection, but still could have easily taken a “I’m so jealous to miss out” line rather than standing up for what’s right. “Boring” so often a synonym for doing the right thing that no one wants to hear - im sure they all know at the back of their mind but none want to go against the grain.That takes bravery, especially among school friends, I’m sure your proud of her.My daughter (16) and I are currently self isolating as she has a chest infection, and while she is sad that she is missing the last day tomorrow at school with her friends, even she is astounded that they have all decided to meet tomorrow night for a 'leavers sesh' which all Y11s have every year when they leave, basically they all meet on the school running track and get buckled. She has told them she can't go and they are being silly by doing it so they have all turned on her calling her boring. She has asthma as well as a chest infection so she is going nowhere, but I can't believe her 'friends' are being so irresponsible!
Cue a call to the school tomorrow .....
It’s not an old video. I know heryes it is she has lung disease from smoking
On mumsnet they have a homeschooling section- maybe they would be able to help better.Anybody know any good homeschooling sites that will help me. I’m trying to sort out work for my child who is in year 10, there’s some work set online from the school but it’s not going to last long. I’m trying to do all I can to help by setting up a timetable and desperately trying to keep a routine but I’m out of my depth at the moment
please remove yourself and your helpful, intelligent advice from my mentions,A Twitter post suggested that you put all snacks for the entire day in a little box, and that's IT! All they get. (Aside from meals) Little ones will learn to self regulate and decide for themselves if they really need a snack at that point, or if they are eating from boredom. Just a thought
mumsnet, Be careful, you’ll end up breastfeeding your 12 year old....JOKE, ITS A JOKE.On mumsnet they have a homeschooling section- maybe they would be able to help better.
@cushtybert the Irish site are giving free access when you set up an account for the corona months. Not sure about the U.K. site.Anybody know any good homeschooling sites that will help me.

One concern I have is capacity to even hold funerals if a large number of people die at the same time. There are only 4 crematoriums covering the whole of Berkshire and when my dad died nearly 5 years ago (in spring, not even during the busier winter period) we had to wait 5 weeks for a slot for his funeral. It was awful and made a distressing time even worse.Not sure about the US but in the UK some mortuaries are being extended/temporary or mobile mortuaries in place.
Funeral services may be conducted and shared via Skype for families.
Mass funeral services may be conducted.
It is being advised that memorial services to be conducted at a later date post cremation/burial.
someone that I went to school with posted today about panic buying a hot tub....while I’m stressing my little head off knowing my husband won’t have any work booked in (does home improvements) and that I’ll probably have to end my maternity leave early when we planned that I’d take 2 years off to work full time in a care home for dementia for a company that doesn’t care about me. Real shit when people don’t even think or care about what others around them are dealing withMy friend has really infuriated me today. She has just been signed off work on early maternity, as her job is to high risk. She will get full pay for the next 2 months before maternity officially starts. She then started moaning that she will now have to have her kids everyday & wants a break before baby arrives. While the rest of the group of friends are worried sick of how we are going to pay our bills & feed our children because we have no alternative childcare from tomorrow & unable to go into work for the foreseeable & not able to work from home. Sorry for the rant, times like this either brings out the best or worst in people.
Ah thanks, she is a good little egg, plus she would have to ask me to give her a lift there as we live about 4 miles away from the school, and knows I would refuseTeenagers are such a selfish bunch.

I think they will stay open.Guys - its time for a stupid question. With all sorts of places, closing will petrol stations be open? My commute to school takes a tank of petrol a week!
It's day 4 of lock down for us.Those are still up and running. Just the non essentials like coffee shops, gyms,shopping centers, restaurants that are shut.Guys - its time for a stupid question. With all sorts of places, closing will petrol stations be open? My commute to school takes a tank of petrol a week!
they will stay open, if it’s something that’s generally needed, it will always be available.Guys - its time for a stupid question. With all sorts of places, closing will petrol stations be open? My commute to school takes a tank of petrol a week!
remember all those tossers who were so excited for 2020, the ones who banged on about it being their year2020 cancelled.
I thought we would hear more today. So I'm really not sureNot sure if been discussed, but do we think there will be a lockdown?
Panic buying a hot tub? Oh my days I have heard it all. Speechless (and maybe a teeny bit envious?).someone that I went to school with posted today about panic buying a hot tub....while I’m stressing my little head off knowing my husband won’t have any work booked in (does home improvements) and that I’ll probably have to end my maternity leave early when we planned that I’d take 2 years off to work full time in a care home for dementia for a company that doesn’t care about me.

My sons Pre-school is a community charity one, so I don’t know how that plays into effect.is this area dependent? My boys nursery key workers aren’t in the slightest bit bothered by it, but we are norfolk and cases are so so low.
I would if I were you. Simply because you are contagious and could compromise someone? However if you are not in the position to do so, wear a mask or avoid people as much as possible. Although if you are snottery, I'm pretty sure that's not going to be difficultShould you self isolate of you have a cold?
