It annoys me when they say "this was filmed before the coronavirus outbreak" yeah I didn't think you're out there filming four in a bed during the pandemic

Just how people can affort mat leave at all is a mystery to me. Both my sisters had to rush back when the babies were 12 weeks old as they couldn't afford to be off. Both worked a week before their due dates, one of them 3 days before the due date so she could have more time with her baby.
If i was pregnant then I would be the same as my firm pay 8 weeks full and 8 weeks half and then SMP. I would try and save my holidays so I get 12 weeks paid full but the half pay and then SMP would sink me.
Save up? Yeah great but when you can't afford to save up then its hard.
6, 9, 10 months....a year off.....how do you do it?
Some people get full pay for 6 months and then reduces to half after that. A few friends have had maternity pay like that but mine is SMP. I earn a good wage but I would still need to budget for a while even before I even fall pregnant. I think I get 6 full weeks and then SMP.
Depends where you work I guess. Public sector maternity leave is pretty good. My work is 6 months at full pay, then it reduces but you still get paid
It does bug me that myself and friends have not had a baby/babies due to the financial pressures meanwhile those who don’t work get paid more to have a child. It Financially incentivises having children for those not working.
I’m pregnant for the first time in my late 30s now, having always worked and I’m entitled to far less than someone in their late teens that’s never worked, ‘job seeking’ or in education.
I always think this too and sometimes think I'd better off not working, but let's not go there lol
Also, congratulations
Yes, agree, there’s a wholllllllleeee can of worms there. I keep that much shorter than I’d have liked!
And thank you x
At least you guys have maternity leave. I live in the states and I got to take off for 6 weeks after having a baby via c-section. Unpaid! They were so gracious and paid my medical insurance while I was out but only for up to 6 weeks. I hated having to put my baby in daycare. And I worked until the day before my water broke. When it comes to maternity leave the US are seriously a third world country!
Controversial. But cats. If I let my dog tit in my neighbours gardens I’d get fined a fortune. But these pompous asshats get to walk everywhere and poop in my flowerbeds
Reminds of of an incident from a long time back. When I was a student. I was living in a decent bedsit, the others were all working and we all got on really well.
Anyway a council official comes round asking who is who, like an idiot I tell him.
Soon Peter one of the residents a biker asks me if I said anything, I thought tit he is going to be pissed but I say sorry mate I told him.
He just laughs and says he knows he heard me, and was just checking if I could be trusted.
Anyway he says if I ever need anything just let him know and he will help.
It pays to be honest.
Clickbait online news headlines, always from regional newspapers.
This came up in my Google recommendations. A controversial new shopping aisle you say, what could that possibly be? I knew it was going to be a vegan aisle before I even clicked. Turns out it isn't even a full aisle, just a small dedicated section. And there is nothing controversial about it.
My local Morrisons has a dedicated "Free From" section for that range of products including vegan/dairy free/gluten free etc. It's not uncommon and certainly isn't controversial.
I know they rely on click for ad views, but I'd be more willing to read regional news websites if they weren't so spammy with endless ads making pages unreadable and crappy clickbait.

What annoys me more is when it could educate people by putting it in the headline rather than using a clickbait headline. "The important info you cant miss to defend against corona virus", "How avoiding this scam could save you thousands".
Just say 'Masks need to be XYZ to be effective", "New HMRC phone scam rife, never give your details over the phone". Tell people the info, help and educate them, not everyone will click and these snippets could really benefit people. They could add "click here for our best buys" or "click to spot the signs it's a scam" and still get their traffic.
-Snobbery
-People who get on their high horse about baby led weaning
-People who sit next to you on public transport when there are rows free
-People who body shame, even just to mates. I have friends like this and I often wonder why we are friends...
-People who belittle people
People who say "do you know what I mean?" after they've explained something simple, and then they explain it again just in case you didn't understand the first time!

I'm glad someone else has mentioned this. Unfortunately there are rather a lot of those kind of neighbours where I live. They are the sort of people, who ignore you for 11 months of the year, then come Decemner they are filled with "Christmas spirit" and are friendly. Hypocrites, the lot of them.......oh, and neighbours who were only interested in being friendly and making an effort when there was a lockdown because it was the in thing to do at the time and have now gone back to ignoring you as they did for the 2 years prior to lockdown. Think that’s it for now, be back soon
Having to shell out my hard earned cash on Fines! Motoring offences, councils are trying to screw as many people as possible.
Cats bury poo . Cats have the right to roam where they please. They have more freedoms than us
Celebs who wear those dresses that are slit down the middle so you basically see their half their boobs. I absolutely cringe when I see pics like this, it’s just horrible, no matter how good their boobs are! So attention seeking it makes me feel a bit ill.
Also just attention seekers. In everyday life. Totally self absorbed people who constantly talk about themselves and never ask about you or anyone else. I’m sure lots of friendships groups have this person in their circle. They dominate the conversation and just need to be the centre of things. I really hate that. I often wonder what happened in their childhood that makes them crave attention so badly.

People that assume everyone has a smartphone and/or have a computer.
This is annoyance about any age but mainly anyone over the age of 16- using snapchat filtered pictures as their profile pictures on social media 
Just seen a 50 year old woman who has 2 kids in their 20’s with a bunny face and pouting pic as her profile picture. Seeing this more and more and its so cringey
