AIBU to want to pop my friend's bubble?

[RealityBump]

Or WIBU not to? Genuine dilemma. A friend of mine has suddenly jacked in her job in insurance (worked for the same company for 15 years) and has decided to set up a children's forest school. She went to a forest school birthday party (one of her DC's friends) a while ago and came back thinking "I can do that." Great to feel inspired, but she has no training nor intends to get any, is not CRB checked, has no public liability insurance, no previous experience with children other than her own, no business plan, nothing. She just intends to go for it. I dont know what is the right thing for me to say or do. As a good friend I want to support her, but I really think she needs to look into this more realistically and get some training etc. I really dont want to be the one that pops the dream, but nor do I want to support her in being unrealistic. What do I do?

Nancy you are right but I think it's because people just expect a business like this to have been checked and insured already to be in business. that's why they don't ask.

If she's as disorganised as you say she will realise well before she runs out of money that she needs to look into it a bit more.

Wtf is a forest school?!

Sounds like a complete shambles and a disaster waiting to happen.

FWIW I think Forest School is very much the "in thing" at the moment and will die a death once the fad has subsided.

Who wants to be outdoors all the time - I can think of nothing worse and no kids I know would thank anybody for making them go to a forest school.

So, has she got a forest already to let out?

She'll learn, just be helpful if she asks. You never know, it might all work out for the best.
