I don’t watch the crown because I don’t have Netflix but I love everything to do with the Royals!
as for your daughter..is it possible to talk to the school or her teachers or get to the bottom of it? Sorry to hear she might be being bullied

I haven’t watched the crown but I think I need to!
I hope your daughter is okay, definitely try to find out what’s going on. Sometimes kids find it easier to write things down rather than say it aloud, could be worth a try xx

I agree with the writing things down! Could be easier than talking about it. Hope she's okay
And no I've not watched the Crown
all I manage are the soaps & the jungle these days

Me too! I dont think Olivia Colman looks good as the Queen though?? Could be wrong like ive said not watched itI’m fascinated by how well they’ve cast the actress as diana!
Diana is the best casting I’ve seen for ages
My poor little girl
I’m going to ask to speak to her teacher tomorrow and see what I can do
It’s so hard with covid and the rules her teacher is just so hard and dismissive

Sending some light and hope your way. Please hold on for your family. You probably know this but they would be devastated without you. These awful circumstances that we are all in are terrible and cruel for many but it is temporary. I hate the phrase “new normal” because it implies this way of life is permanent and in some way normal which it is neither. Keep talking, we want to know how you are.
What has she said to you? I’m sure if you ask to talk to the teacher they should be understanding, can you do face to face meetings? We can only do phone calls at the mo
Sorry to hear your feeling so low atm. I was in quite a bad place last year and found a great resource on Instagram of all places! the holistic psychologist also wim Hoff breathing techniques are amazing at calming the negative thoughts and the whole bodies nervous system. Sending all my love and best wishes
At the moment it’s drop off in the playground so it’s hard to get her teacher for a chat
Last year her teacher was amazing she’s now deputy head and she knew that daddy went away for a long time she helped her through it when he was away!
This new teacher however knows nothing about our situation and now with my daughter saying people are mean to her because she doesn’t “have a daddy” it’s very upsetting
Tonight she told me that one girl laughed at her because her daddy didn’t pick her up and she was trying to make new friends
That is so sad, I hope you manage to get it sortedAt the moment it’s drop off in the playground so it’s hard to get her teacher for a chat

kids can be cruelThat’s horrible! What the hell is being said at home for these kids to say something like that?? Is it worth going to the now deputy head and explaining what’s being said to your daughter? She may be able to have an assembly or something about single parent situations so all the children understand? Makes you wonder if the girl who said it is having trouble at home/her dad isn’t around and she’s hurting, but of course that’s no excuse to say that to someone else! Is your partner in the forces hun?At the moment it’s drop off in the playground so it’s hard to get her teacher for a chat

That's sad. Tell her to ignore them. Are these her class mates from last year? Doesn't she have the same ones every year as they move up years together? I know how hard it it to speak to a teacher at drop off or pick up time so maybe ring or email in the school and request a call from the teacher or head teacher for you are your daughter. She can explain what going on and her teacher will helpAt the moment it’s drop off in the playground so it’s hard to get her teacher for a chat

I’m just dropping on to this thread to send you love and positivity - you CAN get through this.
I’m so sorry for what your daughter is going through on top of this. Perhaps you could make a ‘worry monster’ for her. Each night she can write her worries down and the monster will gobble them up. You can buy them online or just use an old teddy. May help to give you an insight into what’s going on each day so you can relay to the teacher and helps her to get her worries off her chest - fingers crossed you and her get the support you both need.
Take care xx

So I’ve debated emailing the ex teacher now deputy head! The child who’s been saying mean things the parents are now getting divorced so I gave the benefit of the doubt and just put it down to that at first! But now it’s becoming Personal and I can see the torment to my daughter
he’s not in the forces, he works for an oil company in the Middle East but the government control the company at the moment for covid and he’s stuck in a rut with them
Yes of course! It’s an important life lesson that even if you feel like tit, you don’t bring other people down! ‘Treat people how you would like to be treated’! I know they’re only children so don’t always understand the power of words but I was bullied at school and never got over some of the cruel things said to me, so I sympathise
I don’t have kids but my partner works away every week which I know isnt quite the same as your situation at we see eachother at weekends, although at the moment he’s away for a three week stretch, so I understand how lonely you must feel
It’s taken 2 years of living alone in his house and I’m still not totally used to it!
I don’t know if this is any help but could you get a dog? Do you like dogs.. 
have time for one? They are great companions , especially at night time when your kids are asleep Something extra to look forward to in the day? As they are always pleased to see us and gives you a reason to get out the house etc. I never feel alone when I’m with my dog

But with my husband away and me working 10/12 hour shifts I’m worried
although I know my mother in law would rather look after a dog than my girls
