Nursery fees were mentioned earlier. Funnily enough last week we had a sort of PTA meeting with our nursery, and given they'd just hiked fees almost 10% you can imagine what the main topic of conversation was. So we got answers. And although some of the cost increase is down to food inflation (a nursery will get through a lot of food, it's not like the meals are small. growing toddlers eat almost adult portions) most of it is, if course, staff. And it's incredibly competitive right now. Staff will move for a 10p/hour increase because it makes a difference. Nurseries are fighting over a limited supply. Staffing shortages can cause a huge headache because nurseries can't legally operate if the ratio moves past 8 kids to 1 staff member, so they fight hard and give competitive salaries and perks like training. Our nursery recruits directly via LinkedIn etc, but they can't fulfil their needs entirely by this, so they use a recruiting agent which can charge exorbitant fees. It all gets passed on to the customer. It's hard to feel mad because nursery staff do an incredibly hard job - I wouldn't do it for 70k - but they're on retail wages. They probably deserve a pay lift. Instead most parents and nurseries alike blame the goverment for just not subsidising it enough.

I don't know how much my nursery pays but they must get at least the London living wage, 13.15 an hour. I can't imagine doing that kind of work for that wage. Unthinkable to me that it pays so low, when I'm getting 50k to sit on my rear end and poke a computer repeatedly until some numbers are good instead of bad

They haven't specified the exact wage but they have said that they meet the London living wage. They probably pay above it though given the staffing issues.

How much money is spent on the staff /offices processing asylum applications (and on legal fees fighting appeals)? I bet if they spent all the Rwanda/barge money on that we'd probably have cleared the entire backlog by now

Keith wins by default next election and fucks around doing tory lite policies for the whole term. Tories take over again in 10 years or so. The cycle repeats. By then I'm getting on for 50.

Ms Adequate posted:When I needed to have my bumhole examined I actually felt worse about having the chaperone come in. Obviously it's a very good idea (Nobody ever called one in for Penis Inspection though?) but it definitely felt a bit like "Not totally sure I want more people around while you're putting a finger up my rear end, doc". About 20 people were involved when I got a vibrator stuck. Sounds like you got lucky

They're an island, they love tea, have a monarch, like to pretend their empire wasn't monstrously evil, are ostensibly a democracy but it's the same corrupt shitheads with indistinguishable ideologies every time, there's a shitload of nonces, etc. etc. If only we had a train network to match theirs, eh?

PriorMarcus posted:I wish I could cut her out entirely, but then I think about her by herself, with no real friends or means to see people easily, and it breaks my heart. PriorMarcus posted:but I feel obligated to see her by virtue of her being my mum. PriorMarcus posted:I'm always somewhat worried, that despite everyone else agreeing with how I see her, that I'm overreacting or being overly sensitive to how she makes me feel, and I'll regret cutting her out with some distance. I reckon you and my wife would have a lot to talk about, because I recognise a lot of what you say in what my wife has said, before she cut off her mum 10 years ago. My wife has always had this fantasy that she could somehow reconcile with her mum, like in the movies. That her mum would have some change of heart, some revelation, even it's on her deathbed. Every story has a happy ending right? Especially if it's your story and you need it to have a happy ending. It took my wife a long time to accept that that just wasn't going to happen - her mum is going to remain a narcissist until the very end. My wife regularly had depressive episodes before severing. Since severing, her mental health is far far better. She lives a happier life. She doesn't regret it. She was lucky she had unwavering support from me because she wouldn't have done it if they're was any doubt it was the right thing to do. It sounds like you have that support too, thankfully. I'm not sure how much your partner is willing to 'manage' your mum, but for us, I was willing to do the weekly phone calls and odd-jobs and what-have-you, just to keep my wife at a distance while also giving my wife the assurance that her mum wasn't withering away in isolation.
