Yes the kids are bored with no social interaction prison life sucksYes my daughters in Y1. Breaks my heart when shes watching all her pals go to school. She sits at the window and shes like that so and so. Oh here comes ..... then its followed up by her asking when she can go back.
I've started giving her her breakfast in her bedroom so she cant see them.
Yes part time help when your working either.
I know it's to keep them safe but it's IMO it's not good for their mental health.
I took mine to see my best friend and her child today (basically my daughters forced best friendYes the kids are bored with no social interaction prison life sucks
). She didnt stop laughing for 2 hours and started crying we we had to come home to give her baby sister some dinner.
) and though he was quite overweight, it was a big shock as I think he was only late 30s/early 40s. He had a little girl too - very sad.Jet2 have now cancelled all flights until the 14th July. Not sure if that's on FCO advice, lack of hotel co-operation or just being cautious. I think other airlines will now follow suit
This is what I don't understand, whilst employers are understanding how long is that going to continue? Also with the furlough scheme ending October I suppose that means they expect people to be back full time by then. Surely not possible with only part time schooling?
They've said the classrooms can't accommodate full classes with SD they're too small..
I do worry about that. My daughter is due to start school and I’m not sure how it will work if she’s only part time. I’ll only be able to work if I can find childcare... hopefully my childminder will be running back up properly by then otherwise I won’t be able to work at all as I’ve got my toddler son too
You live near me don't you on south coast? I know exactly who you are talking about. It is a very small world....I knew him well. I am still devastated. I think it was corona virus. I last saw him the week before xmas and all of us were ill.The more I am thinking about the idea this was around before we think the more it would make sense to me.
I've just remembered earlier this year a man who lived in the town I grew up in died of what seemed to be freak pneumonia just after Christmas.
He was a big local personality (used to dj at the local dive club
Looking back things like that now seem like they easily could have been coronavirus.
Sorry to hear that - also sorry for mentioning it here - it's definitely a small world, wouldn't have had thought someone might know him (due to the town we mean if we do mean the same person you'll know it is not exactly a big town!). I didn't know him well, (only spoke to him a few times at the local slimming world group back when I used to go) but he was of course very well known and I know many many people from town were shocked by it.
My child minders been back since 1st of June. Shes got no were near the amount of kids she normally has. I'm guessing some people are still working from home or furloughed.I do worry about that. My daughter is due to start school and I’m not sure how it will work if she’s only part time. I’ll only be able to work if I can find childcare... hopefully my childminder will be running back up properly by then otherwise I won’t be able to work at all as I’ve got my toddler son too
Feel so stressed atm when I think about the future x
No it's fine, I mentioned him in the thread earlier because as soon as the corona virus hit the news I said straight away "that is what he died of".
Shes working but she said she’s been told the guidance is atm that she can only have children from one household and she’s already got some children from another household whose mum is a frontline worker...
Our government are having a meeting on Thursday and we'll know shortly what way the childcare is going to work . Our small businesses are opening on Friday people need childcare to go to work.I do worry about that. My daughter is due to start school and I’m not sure how it will work if she’s only part time. I’ll only be able to work if I can find childcare... hopefully my childminder will be running back up properly by then otherwise I won’t be able to work at all as I’ve got my toddler son too

That was the initial guidance, before the 1st of June I believe. Our childminder reopened on the 1st June along with when schools were allowed to reopen. I guess childminders are allowed to do what they feel is safest for them. My youngest returns to childminder next week, but she’s got 3 others in alreadyShes working but she said she’s been told the guidance is atm that she can only have children from one household and she’s already got some children from another household whose mum is a frontline worker...
Not sure if that’s the guidance everywhere. But if it stays that way when I have to go back to work, I won’t be able to go back. I’ve got nobody to have them but I’ll also have no money
Mmm maybe it changed. I know she said the guidance was kind of a relief for her as she was hesitant anyway to have other kids given that their parents are frontline.
If not and they want me to return to work idk what I’ll do
