Did anyone see STs stories in claridges? Glen must have been soooo jealous. No free hotel stays and fancy for you anymore! Haha
I bet he is Em - or something else freeIs he looking for gifted childcare?
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)?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
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 situationAlso 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?

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 ?Maybe he could use the £800 from that scheme he didn't realise he way paying into over the start of the pandemic.
They have a huge children's living room/playroom.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.
