Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[anjelikaferrett]

Morning all. Elvis The Movie was brilliant. Not what I expected, it's told from Col. Parkers perspectiv The lad who plays Elvis is fantastic. Well worth a visit to the cinema even if you're not an Elvis fan.

We have been dealing with a ginger crisis this week. Daughter went to a carnival in one of the local villages with her friend and her two kids last Saturday. Was out for two hours and got absolutely fried in the sun. We've had every potion, lotion, cream and anything else you can think of on her shoulders and back since then. Not so much the burn but the itch. Anyway E45 Itch relief seems to have cracked it. She's usually really careful but because it has been so windy recently, you haven't really noticed the sunshine.

How many more times are we going to hear, I wasn't aware, I didn't realise, I didn't know only to find out that he was aware and he did know but let's move on. Honestly I think this is the worst PM we have ever had...and I lived through Thatcher. There is no way she would have behaved like him. Surely he has to go soon.

Not up to much today. Have a good day folks x

Always wanted an Asian girl to tell she will love me long time! … oh wait…

So my kid turns 12 today… I feel I’m hitting the tricky years.. @Gwladysover I do have a little idea how you feel. My now 12 year old isn’t so much bullied as just ignored and left out. Feels very lonely at school. It sucks just wanting your kid to be happy .. the most basic wish we could have for our children.

I'm so sorry for your troubles and worries Gwladys , genuinely hope things get better soon.

Thank you.

Yes it hurts so much. Don’t care about academic success I just want their happiness. Hope BornBlue76 junior has a very Happy Birthday ?

I was kind of expecting it, I already thought I had borderline personality disorder from doing some research into my behaviour and that is what emotionally unstable personality disorder is just a different name. Didn't expect 2 though lol

I will be going onto anti-psychotic meds and will have to undergo talk therapy but there's no cure unfortunately it'll be ongoing. I haven't looked into financials or anything yet, I'll look into it.

It is a weight off my mind having a diagnosis at last though, only been trying to get help for 18 years like. Could've saved me and a lot of people a lot of aggro if I'd got help when I first asked, instead of just being told I had depression.

Well done on finally getting them to listen to you T. From personal experience, having a Doctor believe you that something is wrong is such a relief. You know yourself when something isn’t right whether it be physical or mental.

If there is any sports team at all I recommend you bring them along to try. Sport is a great leveller and bonds are quickly formed.

Or if it isn’t sport, what are they into?

Have been reading up on the subject and social exclusion is a form of bullying so it may be worth having a word with school. I’m assuming you haven’t already so sorry if I’m being presumptuous.

Morning all, cloudy start and breezy again today, never known so much windy weather in the summer. Just waiting to collect H. from the bus stop, wondering how yesterday went. Apparently there was an “incident” on Tuesday so the school was going to have another meeting with the perpetrators and are confident this will do the trick. They have more faith than me but just call me an old cynic. Not much planned for today but whatever you are or aren’t doing hope it’s a good one.?

Hi thanks for the concern hey… he’s moving school end of the year for middle school and hopefully this is an opportunity to reset and start to try make connections with a bunch of new kids.
We have moved country 3 times in his life so far and for him this doesn’t help having to break into established circles when you’re socially awkward.
Sports wise he’s not into team sports. Which doesn’t help when that’s what all the kids do every break.

Anyway.. we just try make sure the home is somewhere he feels loved and appreciated..

Yep my wife lives and breathes her kids… so she is constantly monitoring how their day went, talking to the teaches, etc..

If it helps ,when I was growing up and met kids who had lived in many places they always impressed with their wider knowledge ,this will be very useful later in life especially if it means they have learned another language to boot .
