My husband doesn’t get BO. He hasn’t passed this “gift” on to our kids. They stink if they’ve not showered, just like me.
That was the main post and two of the same posters ridiculous repliesI looked for that thread and can't find it?
Admittedly I was super geeky at school and it wouldn't be unusual for me to revise that much for my GCSE's- but not so many months beforehand! More like April/May time if the exams were in June which I assume they still are?
I might make my teen son read this thread!That was the main post and two of the same posters ridiculous replies
Have these posters making their kids do 4 hours of revision a night after a full school day and commute and 5 hours each weekend day never heard of Jennifer PanThat was the main post and two of the same posters ridiculous replies
My tip would probably be not to become a nurse or midwife get a job in IT or somethingThis reply from a thread where a student midwife asks how to become a high earner, and states that her idea of a good income is £80k:
The worse bit is that it's under the guise of women supporting women.I laughed more than I should have at this but you’ve got to question the mentality of someone who takes pleasure in cutting people down so brutally. Mn must be the most bitter, twisted, batshit corner of the internet.
Yep - think they need to look up the definition of “bright” because that’s definitely not it.Their kids must be thick as tit if they need all that revision time. Me and my friends only revised during study leave and did alright, got As and Bs. Some of those friends even went to the coveted Oxbridge and RG unis. One of them actually is an investment banker and his life is bleeping sad, we've lost touch but last I heard he just worked all the time with no time for anything else, I wouldn't want that for my child.
I love that they’ve started this thread thinking that this is a flex when they’ll probably get piled on by the uber competitive sugarphobic types.I am reading the thread about Husky puppies now.

I only drink rainwater out of puddles and that's a treat.

“Fizzy juice twice a month?! Is it your mission to rot the teeth out of your head and induce a diabetic coma, op? You might as well just shovel spoonfuls of sugar down your throat!”
There are people on there that talk about increasing the studying for A Levels and all I can think is how they expect them to do school hours, plus 22 odd hours studying a week and working to contribute to the family pot as they are nearly adults and need to learn to budget to then be kicked out of home at 18Is this actually a pisstake? I did my GCSEs in 2009, apart from normal homework did no revision until pretty much the week/day before and managed to get 5A*s 4As and a C. Lots of my friends also did similar. One girl said she did 2 hours a day 2 months before and I remember thinking that was crazy, given we had homework. Revising 5 hours a weekend day in November? WTF? You haven’t even learnt all the content until April! Even in uni, which was actually hard, I revised 7 days a week 9-5pm for the month before but not before that - there’s no point.
On another topic, I think “working hard” is overrated. “Working efficiently” or “doing what you need to get to where you want but not any more” is more my style.
It's very non specific isn't it? AIBU and MN in general are very odd about certain thingsShe'll also get ripped to pieces for calling a fizzy drink juice.
I was just going to ask how many posts until someone asks what fizzy juice is! ‘Do you get a carton of orange juice and put sparking water in it?! Confused!’She'll also get ripped to pieces for calling a fizzy drink juice.
The pretend confusion on there pisses me off no endI was just going to ask how many posts until someone asks what fizzy juice is! ‘Do you get a carton of orange juice and put sparking water in it?! Confused!’
Fizzy juice, op?? *tilts head*. Oh you mean pop! We refer to it as toxic waste in our house *tinkly laugh*She'll also get ripped to pieces for calling a fizzy drink juice.
