I told him, if he wants to wear trousers about a inch too short that's fine, he dont care though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 We’re slowly adding solids to our 5 month old’s diet. He’s had carrot and pumpkin which he hated. A mix of carrot and apple was a little better but so far the best was @lapal_fan’s favourite food, mashed potatoes mixed with breast milk. He actually ate some of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Davkaus Posted February 13 Popular Post Share Posted February 13 For about 2 months (hospital admissions excepted) one of me or the other half have had to take time out from work to feed our kid at nursery each day because their only member of staff trained to use her feed pump is on long term leave and they're had such little urgency over the last year in getting someone else trained, there's now nobody to do it. Yesterday we started throwing around terms like "reasonable accommodations" and "equality act" to try and get them to get a move on. This morning they reported us to social services with 2 pages of "concerns" dating back to August that they've sat on for 6 months, but suddenly feel are a safeguarding issue. The words removed just find us enough of a pain they want us to leave. I'm absolutely livid. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted February 13 Popular Post Share Posted February 13 In fairness to social services, I'm bloody impressed, within half a day they've called both of us, asked a lot of questions, reviewed the evidence of medical documentation we've got, confirmed there's no case to answer, and have given the nursery manager a bollocking for not only frivolous complaints but also not bothering to refer us months ago when they started writing this stuff down . "lots of bruises to her forehead" - she has cerebral palsy and a wooden specialist highchair that physio have provided and agreed it's the lesser evil to have the odd boing to the head than never work on her head control/abdomen muscles "She has been brought in covered in vomit" - she's literally just been hospitalised due to severe reflux requiring a surgical fix, and you know she vomited several times a day. Yes, she sometimes vomits in the car. "She has nappy rash frequently" - and has short bowel syndrome and liquid stools, this is why she comes in covered in barrier cream and we provide some in the bag. I don't object in principal - they have a duty to safeguard, and if it'd happened months ago I'd have said fair enough, but they've seen this stuff, done nothing about it, and then the day after we complain they refer us? Nothing else has triggered this, they've not even seen her in 3 weeks while she's been an inpatient. Vindictive bastards. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Genuinely sorry to hear you (and more importantly, your daughter) are going through this. As long as she is happy (as she can be, given her struggles in and out of hospitals), that's the main thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Bit late to the pile on but none of the response buttons seemed appropriate Dav and just wanted to add another that's utterly shameful behaviour from the nursery to the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rodders0223 Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 "That top doesn't go with those trousers' My bad, I didn't think it mattered at the best of times, yet alone at 14 months old. I forgot we were going to a royal get together, and not a 1 year birthday party at soft play. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
