@BadCustSvc101 @PerpetualWinger Enjoy your superior parenting!

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@BadCustSvc101 @PerpetualWinger I have no idea what you're talking about but you sound very lacking in empathy. And if you think I'm a minimiser of any sort you couldn't be more wrong.

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@BadCustSvc101 @PerpetualWinger I thought you were suggesting that parents can't talk about finding it difficult, or their kids finding it difficult & that if they do, their parenting skills are shit? I was suggesting it's not that simple.

@BadCustSvc101 @PerpetualWinger I'm not 'blaming' lockdowns for anything.

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@GillOshaughness Took me three goes. Many years on & I've still never lost a single demerit point, got a fine or had an at fault accident.

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@BadCustSvc101 @PerpetualWinger I agree that the 'lockdowns damaged children' narrative is overdone, but your judgement of parents feels dismissive. I can tell you I still haven't recovered from months of sole parenting, self employment & home educating is isolation from all supports.

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@annaspargoryan I felt exactly the same when it happened to me years ago.

@dgurdasani1 Thanks for sharing yr perspective Deepti. Totally agree about access to the outdoors. Great to hear you've found a school that's on board - school practices are so inconsistent.

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@dgurdasani1 How are you finding Australia by comparison? As a local it seems pretty bad to me but perhaps I don't have sufficient understanding of the situation in the UK.

@dom_ma @sidherian @SatPaper We knew this but for some reason it's still shocking to see it in black & white

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@Rob_18152 @nick_coatsworth Have you read the critiques of the Cochrane review for a balanced perspective?

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@nick_coatsworth You're sounding deranged now. 'Fighting a battle'? Give me a break.

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@laurelleoz @psvbluemts I'm attempting to find out

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@annaspargoryan mmm...I never got to the bottom of depending on what. probably his bong.

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@abc730 excellent report from @latingle tonight

[fine&mental @rivkhali5]

@JasonClareMP 'Lingering after effects of covid'? Our kids are still being exposed to unmitigated spread of infections every day at school. I was definitely not relieved to be sending my child back. #CovidIsntOver #CleanAir

@gurambae @noplaceforsheep Or maybe they do, but resent that they too have given up luxury and live frugally & still can't get ahead.
