saw the kids for nearly half an hour this morning, this is not good. Was reading earlier on the BBC website some have your say about flexible working in which there seem to be a lot of ppl feeling that women with children get the easy life. Can’t say as I’ve seen it anywhere I’ve worked – everyone is pretty committed at this place, and everyone pulls their weight, children or not. Where the company can be flexible it is, and we all appreciate that and are flexible right back. Bizarre level of anger on the bbc website.
Not nearly as much as on the one about public breastfeeding though! I can’t believe the number of ppl going on about how disgusting it is – most of them are probably unaware that they’ve ‘seen’ public breastfeeding and never noticed it…it does strike me that we have a major problem with body awareness and complete lack of ability to be comfortable with natural functions. (And no, I don’t equate breastfeeding with urinating and suggest that if you are OK to breastfeed in public it’s OK to urinate in public, I equate breastfeeding with eating and say it’s OK to eat, it probably should be OK to breastfeed. (The probably covers situations like I might snatch a sweet while driving a car or a sandwich as a passenger but I wouldn’t breastfeed at that point….))
Big’s school report arrived home last night. It’s not quite as incomprehensible as last years 😉 which little discussion of pink or green materials. I think the general gist of it is that she’s doing fine. I may undertake an exercise of comparing it with key stage standards for her age and then have a chat with those reluctant relatives. I’m more likely to decide that that’s too much like hard work and do the research in case we get turned it to the authorities. Just got a sneaking suspicion that it might happen at some point.
Hohum. Must go shower and get ready for the day. Just two more of these then it’s the weekend. (And then it starts over again on Monday 🙁 (but then after another week, it’s the holiday, woohoo!))
