We know Sandra doesnt care for technicalities. Technically speaking Colm was in a relationship and had a family when they met but that didnt stop her.Wonder which sister in law is the babysitter? Technically she only has one (whoever is married to her bro) - the rest are acquaintances she knows through her baby’s da

They’ll think the child is being dropped to school by its grandmother. By the time Chaz is going to secondary school Randy will be heading for 55 ish. Yikes!
She’s wide of the mark again with her stance on private maternity care. What she fails to mention is that ‘it’s about choice’ for people who have the money to afford it. No shade to anyone at all for choosing private maternity care (I’d be considered high risk myself so would probably do it!) but she’s so out of touch it’s mind blowing. On her soapbox about women should be given the choice….what she really means is women with money should have the choice. I don’t see her championing access to enhanced maternity care for those with a higher medical need. She really has no idea how the real world works.
I’d say the brothers wife because she said they had 4 kids. I’d say the SIL is delighted to mind Sandra’sWonder which sister in law is the babysitter? Technically she only has one (whoever is married to her bro) - the rest are acquaintances she knows through her baby’s da
She is just a witch. All about choice. My hole. Wanted the best scans , a consultant at each appointment and high risk of complaints during C section.
What if a woman in the same position simply couldn't afford to go private? So wrong , just because you can afford it you and your pregnancy are looked after better

We could argue this about a lot of things though. Having more money means you can afford more stuff. That’s just how the world works unfortunately
But she is an older mother. That’s a fact. I think the medical term used term ‘geriatric pregnancy’. It is what it is.
Yeah but sating she'll be 'heading for 55, yikes!' when Chazza is in secondary is maybe true to say about a few women on this thread, and lots of women we know. Her age isn't the issue here in my opinion.
Yes loads of women are in that situation. Each to their own but wouldn’t be my bag.
Having more stuff cause you have money is one thing , nice cars , houses luxuries etc. Maternity care shouldn't be 'better' just because you can afford it. Every woman should have the best of care , let them pay extra for private room etc if they want.We could argue this about a lot of things though. Having more money means you can afford more stuff.

I mean I don’t disagree with you, in principle every woman should have the best of care. But all healthcare is better if you can afford it, not just maternity. And even most hospitals admit that patients who pay for private care help fund public care for everyone else.
There should be no 2 tier health system imo, just because Mary can afford it and Joan who is a public patient is treated differently. It's disgusting and should be abolished. The bullshit some go on with with their consultants while the peasants make do with the junior doctor, the whole thing around private/public health care makes my blood boil. A life is a life!!
It's a school for wannabes who cannot afford School Mhuire. Of course, regular parents send their kids there because it's local, but I know several who wouldnt have a pot to piss in so Mount Mercy it is.
I also personally know some pupils there, and it's hit and miss the same as most schools. Some are excelling in their leaving cert, some are off the wall and no intention of even studying for same.
The snobbery towards ITs and plc courses make for some very stressed and unhappy kids.
Top schools in the country only rate those who go to places like UCC and not ITs like MTU. I can assure you that when industry like Pfizer look for engineers, they don't want UCC graduates!! Academic doesn't mean hard working a lot of the time.
I would think Sandy would try for Colaiste Colm also, obviously, the Gael side of it.
I’ll be 53 when my eldest starts secondary, most of my friends kids will have left school. Its actually not a bother. In fact I’ve met a great group of mums ego bring a whole new perspective to my life!

Randy’s unjustified snobbery is such a bad trait for a politician.

Are the McWilliam’s Sails duffel bags and peach Benetton scarves still a thing?!

Yes to the bags no to the scarves! My one has to make do with her Jansport one!I didn’t realise there was still such a snootiness around secondary schools in Cark
I always wanted a Jansport bag when I was a teenager. Couldn’t afford it though.
I had those old army canvas ones! With buckles! Must say the Jansport ones are very durable and you can throw them on the wash!
Sorry now but I had to google the McWilliams Sails duffel bagsI didn’t realise there was still such a snootiness around secondary schools in Cark
Surely this isn’t a thing. Would have thought they young wans were walking in to school with their iPads and putting everything on the cloud
