Did anyone see STs stories in claridges? Glen must have been soooo jealous. No free hotel stays and fancy for you anymore! Haha

Check out his stories if you can bare to listen to his plight of having no childcare options and having to put the twins into a nursery.

Wow my heart bleeds for him. 🙄

I guess this is something else they didn't factor when moving to Kent and buying a £700,000 pile of draughty bricks. They probably thought Glen would be a full time Insta influencer, Jeweller. Author and M&S model, and he would still be getting Ads left, right and centre so she wouldn't have to work as a Midwife anymore.

Confused - you get up to four weeks of parental leave a year, plus sick leave? Hasn’t he been in his role over a decade and he couldn’t have taken a day off…?

Also what nursery would take school age children, for a day?! Sounds … undesirable

Yeah, not surprised the twins were telling him they were nervous. How unsettling for them, as school aged children, to be left for a day at a nursery they'd never been to before.

Yet of course the post is about how it makes HIM feel.

Is he looking for gifted childcare?

There’s an October half term every year, why was it a shock they needed childcare?

Wouldn’t you just book holiday club for 5 year olds? Rather than a random nursery? That’s what I did. And most people probably do. Also, given he clearly does duck all work, why does he need it?

Also surely post pandemic work places would be a bit sympathetic and if you’re a good employee/employer allow you to wfh with the kids? As in if you managed it during the height of rona they’d accept one rogue day (if you had zero leave left/no other options)?

Given his employer seemingly doesn’t notice he spends 90% all of his working day twatting about on Instagram I doubt they’d notice two children taking up his time/being a distraction at times.

Mr Beds was able to wfh while looking after Baby Beds as I had to take Little Beds to hospital the other week (he’s ok and while not nice nothing scary - though kicking myself I didn’t document it all to get #sponads opportunities!). Though seriously who the hell documents their child for social media when ill - they need their heads looking at.

I find it odd a nursery would accept children ad hoc - though are the twins still nursery age (as in some nurseries will take children where a parent/s have decided to delay their school start to the next academic year)? Still seems a bit random.

Maybe he could use the £800 from that scheme he didn't realise he way paying into over the start of the pandemic.

It’s really bizarre? Agency side is horrible in fairness & a really toxic work work work culture that just values volume of output over anything else (quality, staff well being and retention lol), but it’s not as if he’s a top dog or has a specialist skill set ? It’s so odd, like if he’s worried about asking his managers for time off after being furloughed for a millennia could he not just pull a sicky?! Sounds like another undesirable situation 😳

There is just absolutely no chance in hell I’d leave my daughter at some rando nursery that’s so hard up it’s accepting any old kid of any old age for any old period of time, no bleeping thank you !

Had never heard of these schemes pre baby but since found out you’re not eligible if one parent earns over £100k p/a, so really surprised Glen allowed him to go on about that as she was so proud of her ~management consultant~ husband who is just a relatively junior manager in a dying industry ?

Yeah but he’s not actually doing it. I think he just over hears other people’s conversations/ concerns and recycles them with a lot of over hyped word vomit hoping something will stick.

Tbh the Oct hols kept up on me this year 🙈 and we have a bloody fortnight 😭

However, due to lockdown at the beginning g of the year, I have an abundance of holidays left to take (as do a lot of people). So managed to wangle a few days off as did my husband.

To be fair I don't believe half the tit that comes out of his mouth.

What a crock of shite. He’s working from home right? Really don’t see how he couldn’t do that for a day with the twins home and one of the older girls keeping an eye on them unless they’re (as I suspect) complete nightmares. I worked from home today, had 7 virtual meetings- and my 5yo was here, playing in her room and watching a couple of films. Was it riveting for her? Probably not but probably topped being shoved into a weird nursery she’d never been to before.

They have a huge children's living room/playroom.
I am pretty sure he could work and keep an eye on them, keeping the door open. They're not little toddlers anymore.
Plenty of people have managed it with much younger children through the pandemic.

I honestly do not think he does a full day's work anyway.

The reason he didn’t pull a sickie was because that doesn’t provide him with any content.
