The Anti Dementors, danger-buffooning their way through life!

New thread!

Yeah that’s the thread @AgentCooper maybe once the population drops (which it will as we are ALL GOING TO DIE) it’ll be allowed again for strict procreation purposes only, no enjoyment permitted.

MrsFumble also I hope they can get back soon

Cupcupgoose, do you know of many actual cases of Covid19 in your village (I am in Northumberland as well, and the only people I know are a person who came back from Vietnam, and two elderly people who died in care homes in Newcastle)? There is almost something surreal about it all. I am fortunate as my children live locally and have been "care giving" visiting me, and bringing the DGC to the garden. Everyone is very relaxed and neighbours seem happy to hear the children. I guess I know where you live, judging by the press reports earlier of a village being overrun by visitors. Local schools are supposed to be starting to go back on Monday.

@SudokuBook

The way they keep on about sacrifices does my head in. I wonder exactly how much any of them have sacrificed? I’ve lost my job directly due to the pandemic, my means of providing for my family, what the fuck do these idiots know about what other people have sacrificed?

Yep and the way they ignore that our kids have given up basically the bulk of their entire lives at present for their fucking lockdown. End of your primary school? That doesn't matter - despite it being as big as shit a thing to you aged 11. No transition to the secondary? Oh well that never happened in MY generation - snowflakes (newsflash we had transition days to the comp back in the 1980s fuckers). The end of school non uniform water fight day on the playground you have watched every other yeargroup get and looked forward to for months and months gone? Oh don't whine you don't know the meaning of sacrifice.

I'm salty today - DD2 is leaving her little warm caring (until the head lost the plot) infant school - looked forward to the usual end of Y2 stuff - water fights, residentials etc. And now there are about 4 of the year group actually allowed to enter the building because of SEN or keyworker needs, and they're queuing up in a little painted square to be allowed to enter a fucking fortress. DD2's bestie is going back to the States in July - DD2 won't even get to say goodbye.

While it might be nothing in the grand scheme of things - these kids have lost (sacrifice implies some consent to it - they never consented) their entire world for months and months without end without any acknowledgement or empathy at all. Well I say that - our county and city council did send a letter to every child in the local schools thanking them for their effort and praising them for being brilliant in what they were doing - it's the ONE acceptance I've seen that these kids have lost such a lot.

People actively have to give things up for them to be sacrifices - all of this has been theft.

Yep @Domina I agree. My son has missed out on his school residential, all his leavers fun, his transition to high school, but we’re not meant to give a shit about that because DONT YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE DYING. And while I agree most kids will end up fine without proper transition, many won’t. That’s why it was implemented in the first place presumably, as opposed to the 10 minute walk round the school I got back in the day, because it benefits children. My son has autism and is supposed to be having an enhanced transition, not none at all. But hey, what does throwing a few disabled children under the bus matter. Sadly typical of the disgusting ableist attitude we SN parents have come to expect from people who can’t see the challenges others face outside their wee bubble.

Thank god Iv found you .
Mumsnet is a truly depressing place currently. Just left a thread where the op is "fucking livid" about people going to the beach , queuing for Ikea blah blah blah. God it's awful . People are so obsessed with what everyone else is up to. God forbid someone also had 7 people in their garden for their child's birthday !!! And a bouncy castle !!!
Poor kids , shouldn't be in shops / garden centres, no playgrounds or anything they enjoy. God forbid you send them back to school too. I have a 3month old , 3 year old and 5 year old and it's been hard . Fed up of all the doom and gloom and comparisons about how shit the uk is !

MrsFumble it's so difficult when ASD is thrown into the mix. We can't get DS to do homework at the best of times, so schoolwork at home was never going to happen. Before half term I sent an email to the senco, head of year and form teacher saying "help" within an hour I had a place lined up (no ECHP), but it is a secondary school so probably less pressure on places. Just do what you can, don't pressure him and go from there. Have you a visual timetable at all, so you could schedule in work time?

Yep @SudokuBook DD2 was meant to be getting more transition support moving from the infant school to juniors. Now they're getting... a video. Was meant to be having a series of meetings with the new school SENCO and new and old class teachers to share information and make sure support was in place - from April onwards... none of that has gone on at all - SENCO is meant to be ringing me at some point but I've not heard anything from him yet. We had an absolutely awful year last year with a class teacher who didn't want to engage with transition planning and sharing information and listening to us as parents who know the child... I'm NOT going there again!

@Allhallowseve yeah I saw that thread. Everything she mentioned was legal except rubbish and shitting in bushes.

And she was happy to get back to her self employed job but that was ok because she is very good at hygiene. Sorry love but why are you assuming everyone else isn't?

I feel like saying if you've got nothing nice to say then shut the fuck up.

@TrustTheGeneGenie I couldn't help myself but to comment . Someone said those queueing for Ikea deserve everything they get ie wishing them to get ill or worse with covid I mean what the fuck is wrong with people ? I think they want to stay locked down forever . Absolute hatred for those trying to LEGALLY carry on with their lives . Bloody awful .

Exactly it's bloody ridiculous!

Considering we've been told you can only catch it by spending 15 mins or more with someone less than 2m away - I can't see how you could actually catch it from ikea unless you lick everything you pick up?

@TrustTheGeneGenie ah yes but they of course know better about this completely new and unknown disease. And anyway millions are dying !!'

@NUFC69 there have been two that I know of. One elderly lady who has recovered and one died. The one who died didn't die of covid but because she was tested on arrival to hospital and found to be positive, that what everyone has said she died from. Yes it's probably quite obvious where I live if you know northumberland. I've never experienced anyone not following social distancing rules when I've been out so honestly can't see the problem with the 'murdering outsiders' myself. They aren't doing anything wrong. All car parks are shut and there are cones up the kirbs of roads near the car parks to out people off visiting.

Whilst I wouldn’t choose to queue 3 hrs to get into Ikea people were social distancing so I don’t get why the dementors have frothed so much about it. They really are a miserable bunch.

Know of two people terminally ill, one phoned my neighbour three weeks ago to tell her he had reached the end a couple of weeks left. Went into hospital died, death certificate says covid. This is not an isolated case.

Hopping mad that N Wales is now epicentre of covid cases according to media. It is because the care homes are now finally being tested. This is a retirement area which was avoided testing wise for two months. One home near me 40 cases residents wise plus a lot of care staff.

5 deaths in Wales yesterday and our schools etc. still locked down. I am steaming angry.

There are quite a few posters who are so dementory that I don’t read their posts now. Just skip by them. I feel like shaking them!

There's one thread where a lot are admitting they're enjoying lockdown and feeling sad at the idea of it ending - probably one of the few bits of honesty out there in the pro-lockdown camp of late.

Anyone else keep getting Monty Python's Catholic song stuck in their head, particularly the disapproving stern Protestants as the children file out of the house folornly. The smug, virtuous "they have children every time they have sex and we only have two children", and the retort of "but we have had children every time we had sex"

Jesus there's a thread about people struggling working from home - WOMEN resigning or going sick... and others happily saying "oh resign and find a more family friendly job". And then the affluent London bubblers saying "oh just get a nanny in - plenty out there"

THIS is why we have a gender pay gap - shortly to become a gender pay chasm.

I saw that domina I felt like I was on another planet reading it.

Working from home must be difficult unless like friends one partner takes full and I mean full responsibility all day for the kids. My friends children were trained from day 1 that when daddy was working no-one made a noise upstairs. They did have a 5 bedroom 3 reception room home though.

Dc got real dementored today when he went outside with a friend for the first time. Another child messaged to moan about social distancing... fortunately dc laughed, but this is truly scary!!

Real life dementored even

I hate the “get what they deserve” thing. What do they deserve, death for legally going to a shop or the beach? Is that how people really think? Even those idiots who got badly injured tombstoning don’t deserve death or life changing injuries, they deserve a few bruises and a hefty fine for being twats maybe, but not their lives taken or ruined.

Coronavirus: Tooth decay fears over dentist wait until 202

In Wales current plan:
In the second phase - from October to December - practices would be allowed to address the backlog of need from patients who require regular dental work, as well as those who have had non-urgent treatment delayed or postponed.

Only during the third phase - from January to March 2021 - would routine assessment and care be reinstated.

I'm hoping DD1 with her brace and DD2 with her needing mointoring might come under the October band.

But no routine dentist till next year in Wales.

My parents always said the UK was anti children - I've occasionally seen flashes from some people and institutions but first time I've really thought that yes we are.

I really hope some of my chidlren get back to school at end of June - but I don't hold out much hope.

I think some schools in England are waiting another two weeks as SAGA people have said the risk with have halved by then and vritually dropped by September. I do wonder how many Mother's will have lost their jobs by then or had to resort to using vunerable family members who are willing as looks likely in my wider family.
