Gill and Peter are retired and their daughter (to our knowledge) is single and child free. There is nothing to stop either of them them moving into Ioan's house should he need to be away (and close enough for his sister to access her work) so to keep the girls settled in their own home, school and routine. That's rather different to being 'dumped' on relatives which, to me at least, would involve the girls moving to the relatives' house and thus disruption.

Alice’s father and stepmother could also be involved in childcare and get the chance to build a relationship with their granddaughters. They are also of an age to be retired but still active.

I think that Emily account was set up by someone who wants to curry favour with Alice. Flys back to the nest with a tidbit between its beak. For Alice to toss it a dead mouse or a banana (or whatever a FM eats). Good Flying Monkey.

There is so much wrong with this .... like, why should a young child know about "a lot of sad moments" in her mother's past. And how many truly sad moments did Alice have? Her mother died. When she was 30. I was a lot younger when my father died and 31 when my mom died. You deal. What else has been "so sad".... the whole thing sounds like a poor poor pitiful me approach to life that she's palmed off on her kids.

Absolutely, Violet was always my favourite anyway, so we can be Violets together I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (M.E.) and fibro too, so the exercise part is ruled out, but I still want to give it a try some day and never give up hope. Slow and steady wins the race, and I think you'll find a LOT of people are in our situation, gaining weight through lockdown, so we're in good company!

There is a saying that you left lockdown in one of three ways - a hunk, a chunk or a drunk. (Worked out/didn’t work out and ate a lot/drunk a lot of alcohol). I nailed 2/3 of those.

welp

she once claimed that her best friend died when she was 15. Oh, and of course the (step-)sister that she barely knew. and some friends to suicide

She and her main minions (Deb especially) have pointed out several times since the break up that Ioan hasnt lost anyone unlike Alice so he is less important (that's not actually what they said but they made it sound like this, as if it's somehow an excuse, a competition)

I tried this but the ends of the scaffolding poles kept poking the spouse in the eye

I'm not too sure how it works with other countries but when my brother was born abroad my father also had to register his birth at the nearest British consulate within a certain time and get a British birth certificate in addition to his Iranian registration and birth certificate. I have both sets of paperwork for him. The British certificate simply states that the person registering the birth was the father with no mention of the other parent's agreement (though they were married so I'm unsure WRT unmarried parents). In contrast, my mother was in Scotland for my birth while my father remained abroad (long before the days of paternity leave) and my certificate states that the person registering was the mother. Of course, again, they were married and, like other Scottish certificates, mine bears the date and place of the parents' marriage.

Incidentally, when I was tracked down by someone dealing with my uncle's very small estate, they had no knowledge of my brother nor of one of my cousins as both were born abroad. I presume that there are books of consulate birth, marriage and death registrations somewhere in the London record office.
