If you say so
Of course - i never doubted it for a second. She did also made a claim about domestic violence being a poor people problem too and I know that's not true!There are definitely posh women in refuges. I've met them.

I think that's Rock.Isn't Newquay where all public school kids go to surf after their exams? I wouldn't trust myself or any blood relatives on a surfboard in big waves.

There are definitely posh women in refuges. I've met them. One time these burly male coppers came looking for this woman; her husband had sent them. I didn't half feel sorry for her.
I live with a 35 year old and a 25 year old and neither of them know how to empty a bin
Yeah, like a welfare check - he'd reported her missing because he was ever so concerned. (Coercive control wasn't really recognised as a thing back then.)That's alarming. Were they just doing a welfare check, or was there a risk that they might disclose her whereabouts?
I've just seen the video of your school trip.I don't think loads of 15 year olds go travelling abroad alone with their mates, no. I'd be very surprised if any of the kids from my son's state school did.
Even when I was at school, our post-GCSE trip was to Newquay not abroad.
If you left your 15 year old home alone for a week I wouldn't be surprised at school/neighbours reporting you.
Same here. Also the lack of giving a shit about safeguarding is shocking in some places. When I was giving my son’s primary school some free advice once, I was left in the assistant head’s office to wait for her. On the wall was a list of all the children at risk with the names and details of who was and wasn’t allowed to collect them.It’s not something that’s really possible practically but refuges really would benefit from relocating regularly. Around here every taxi driver knows where the refuges are, all the neighbours do and word gets around quickly.
They also know where the favoured pick up points are around the houses.
It’s so unsafe for the residents there.

Me too. I'm autistic and it does limit me somewhat but I still managed to cope reasonably well at uni, even after the mental breakdown I had when I was 21. And tbh I would have been so embarrassed if my mum had done everything for me. Going to uni helped me become a lot more independent and it's one reason why I get sick of right-wingers sneering at students, because the alternative was living with my parents and working in some dead end job.I've seen people in their late teens/early twenties who have absolutely no sense of independence and its scary. Kids who are over parented, have had everything arranged/organized for them their entire lives, and then don't know how to cope when they're on their own and freak out.
All I ever wanted when I was a kid was to be an adult and do things on my own terms. I'm just glad my parents were similarly minded so I was left to it.
Yep, I'm middle-class and my last stepdad was mentally/emotionally abusive to my mum. He didn't hit her but he was one of the reasons why she had a drink problem.Abuse is no less common in middle / upper class families. It just happens behind more expensive curtains.

No sign of anyone even remotely middle class at Sunnyside 'campsite' when I went on a post GCSE piss up weekend there in the mid 90s.Isn't Newquay where all public school kids go to surf after their exams? I wouldn't trust myself or any blood relatives on a surfboard in big waves.
I blame gas central heating...you didn't get this sort of molly codulling when chimneys needed sweepingMy 22 year old niece didn't know how to use the washing machine until her partner showed her when they moved in together a few months ago. She's having a baby in 3 weeks or thereabouts, so she'll get plenty of practice.
I blame the parents though, they've always done everything for her.
I struggle with houses that are permanently warm with central heating. Can't people just put a jumper on if they're sodding cold.I blame gas central heating...you didn't get this sort of molly codulling when chimneys needed sweeping
