Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I don't think my daughter loves my husband more than me nor do I think it is a fruitful concern to grade affection
I don't think she is inadvertently putting herself at risk by flashing her legs about, particularly not from my husband, but it will make it hard for me to see you with them but I guess that's the hand I'm dealt
I wish the poison you speak at times came with some kind of warning so I could prepare for it

FFS, if a product has had 99% of its caffeine removed I think it's fair enough to call it caffeine-free. If someone has a condition that means they can't have caffeine at all I'd expect that they'd receive info that tells them what things contain caffeine and what to avoid.

Fuck off. Fuck off.

And you. You spoilt brat. One day you'll learn that it's not all about you. I hope. Or maybe you won't. Whatever.

Why don't you just tell me what that matter is? I don't have the time or the inclination to try and figure out what is pissing you off so much.
No, your are not "fine", you are making it very obvious that you are not "fine".
Either keep it to yourself or tell me, don't do this...it's not fair

I remembered that new tie-dye tshirts often arent colourfast.

It wouldn't have mattered anyway as I hadn't washed one of hubby's pale blue shirts in with his new tshirt.

We need to talk. How much work have you actually done in the past 6 weeks? First, I gave you time off when your parents visited; then your boyfriend came 2 days later which you hadn't even told about, so I gave you time off for that, then he got sick and I spent more time at the hospital with him than I did looking after my own kids and you did fuck all. Then you went home for a long weekend. Then you came back sick and stayed in bed all week. And now, after a nice weekend relaxing alone, you are sick again.

You've done a total of 10 minutes work today! You didn't get out of bed so when 1330 came around, I went out to get the kids; I came back and offered you lunch but you had "already eaten" so you stayed in your room with the door shut and I saw to lunch; the only work you did was when I asked tri-baby to take his homework to you; you are still in bed and I now need to take the kids on an hour-long bus trip that is one of the easiest but nonetheless time consuming parts of your job. I know I said we wouldn't be demanding too much of you but I did expect more than this. You are contracted for up to 5 hours work a day and we estimated that 3.5 would be usual most days.

Oh, and how did you manage to spend 50E on food over the weekend given that you are so sick? I expect you to buy groceries and make food for yourself, not buy take-away every day.

[I'm aware this sounds like a "my slaves are so lazy" rant but this au pair business is really not working out.]

[I assume that you are paying good money for help, ITG, in which case you are entitled to expect it. You wouldn't be paying for that help if you didn't need it. Time to sack the au pair and get another one.]
