Yeah when I read all the guff about the eco village I did think “hmm wouldn’t be that if travellers moved down the road from you, you wouldn’t be praising their alternative lifestyle, you’d be huffing about your house value”I’ve just done a quick google and from what I’ve gathered, living in an eco village is in the same vein as living an Amish lifestyle...self sufficient, living off the land, rejecting mass production of stuff etc, and focusing on the environment and sustainable living. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, I only looked up one definition, I might have the wrong end of the stick!
But my point is - this doesn’t fit with Pea’s way of living at all? She’s never shown any interest in growing her own produce (that I can remember), she’s usually glued to her phone, and she’s constantly buying products that are bad for the environment - all that frozen, pre-chopped, plastic wrapped veg, and I’m still haunted by that giant roll of paper she got a while ago so she could stick it under ray’s high chair and bin it after meals so she didn’t have to clean the floor (must have been ages ago, don’t know why that stuck with me!)
The only way she’s slightly environmentally friendly is through being vegetarian, but that’s not exactly the reason she eats like that.
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with buying pre-chopped, plastic wrapped food, for what it’s worth. I’ve got a whole load of sliced onions in my freezer. I just think she’s going on about wanting to live this amazing eco lifestyle where she can basically have dean quit his job and be at home 24/7, but she’s not actually made any changes in her life to head in that direction?
I don’t know, I might be going off on a tangent here. I just get the impression that she has this idea in her head of how she sees herself, and it’s actually vastly different to how she actually is, both as a parent and a human being in general.

Also, her vision of an eco village ain’t very feminist is it. Women just there to look after the kids and grow the food...where are the men? What parenting would they be doing??
How does she expect to afford that when they're planning to jack in their jobs and move to an eco village?If it’s the school I think it is, then it’s an independent school. It is run by parents and local people, and a lot cheaper than most independent schools. If they only go part time once school age, then your child is still technically home educated according to the local authority, and you pay for them to go there for 2 or 3 days a week which is sort of treated as an extra curricular type club (even though they are delivering academics when they are there). I have friends with children who attend.
Let’s not forget that the families who homeschool tons of kids are ALWAYS Christian fundies who don’t want their kids to be tainted by the outside worldSomeone's said it might be hard to home school with a baby around (IS SHE PREGNANT OR NOT?) and she's all PEOPLE HOMESCHOOL WITH 10 KIDS.
Using the money she gets from exposing those hot dog nips?How does she expect to afford that when they're planning to jack in their jobs and move to an eco village?
I’m sure the majority of 3 year olds are entitled to some type of provision. I think all of them are entitled to 15 hours.Would she even get help from the government for nursery? Because when they turn 3 if both parents are in full time work they get 30 hours free? She doesn’t work full time so would have to pay? How the hell do they afford everything on Deans wage? Also if Allsaints make it another 5 years on the highstreet I’d be very surprised!
I know its been mentioned before the that floor thoughFilth! Crumbs and crap everywhere.
Sounds to me like it’s a school set up by crunchy parents for crunchy parentsThe school sounds like a mish mash to be honest, does it even follow the national curriculum? How is there any consistency of children and coming and going flitting between home schooling all the time? Just baffles me. Also, what happens if a child throws a chair and injures another child (extreme I know but stay with me here..) is there no punishment or separation? Do they all sit round the campfire and sing cum by ya exploring the feelings behind the chair throw?
She'd get 15 hours, every 3 year old gets that regardless. You have to have two working parents for 30 hours so may be entitled as she works as a TA. They both need to work minimum 16 hours per week each.Would she even get help from the government for nursery? Because when they turn 3 if both parents are in full time work they get 30 hours free? She doesn’t work full time so would have to pay? How the hell do they afford everything on Deans wage? Also if Allsaints make it another 5 years on the highstreet I’d be very surprised!
