@madradish 7 weeks tomorrow since having 2 lots of spinal surgery in the space of a week. Went private after hearing nothing through the public system for 1.5 years. Private surgeon said the public system would take 5-6 years to get around to seeing me.
@isadwatson I have gone back to taking a book with me. It’s not uncommon for me to be reading at my son’s swimming lessons, or while I’m waiting for the GP or physio.
@madradish@Nancyjayneem This does work. C is generally screen free on Sundays 9-3, and it hasn’t backfired for us. But his behaviour and attitude are shocking when given unlimited access. A phrase that is starting to be used by us again in “asked and answered”.
@madradish Is it just the on-site things they don’t like? Other kids? Have they been on excursion days? Coop is a regular at vacation care, BSC & ASC - most days he likes and some days he doesn’t but he knows it’s needed and understands.
@madradish Front door open if you have a security screen (and the weather can accommodate) and a Ring doorbell! Hubby was across the road when a delivery came, guy hit the bell, and hubby was able to let the guy know he’d be there in a minute.
