@Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady when name changing, stick to it.

PrincessOfAllOurTarts · 31/01/2021 22:22

That's up to you though if your dc haven't been at school since March. Most people sent their dc back in September for the autumn term.

My GP is working from home without kids, should she have kept her young children home because of the made up rule of MN. She would I’m sure find it very difficult work safely from home with young children in the room who she is also supervising their schooling.

@OhDear2200

Seriously what is it with MN tonight?

Is it because it’s the last day of the month? Is there a full moon?

There is actually an amazing full moon. Me and ds were in awe of it this evening.
BoGoFonMNBullies · 31/01/2021 22:25

Probably had a vaccine too.

Busygoingblah · 31/01/2021 22:26

A lot of nhs staff are doing video appointments from home. Would be massively inappropriate for a child to walk in on that.

PhillipPhillop · 31/01/2021 22:27

This shook your world? Have you led a very sheltered life?

Can you imagine the thread on here if someone had a phone appointment with their GP and they could hear the GP's kids in the background?
WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 31/01/2021 22:27

If this shook your world, you must have lived a charmed life.

Where have you gone? Polishing your hooves?

There are a lot of medical jobs that could be particularly damaging to children if they were to listen to the content.
If her job is ie. Mental health and she's speaking to someone about the graphic details of their sexual assault or someone is extremely low in mood and needs to discuss their suicidal thoughts, don't you think it could be hugely damaging to hear half the content of the conversation as a child?

QforCucumber · 31/01/2021 22:28

@Sweettea1 all the schools aren't at over 50% attendance. Ds school for example have approx 20% of kids in total in at any one time at the minute.

Leannethom85 · 31/01/2021 22:28

NHS workers have to follow the data protection guidelines, which means she may be dealing with sensitive issues regarding patients. She can't protect data if she has to leave a computer or phone call to deal with children as anyone without authoritization within eyeshot can go snooping. Think about it if a working from home nhs worker is checking out things about you and leaves her computer with your medical history on it and someone else sees it your world would really be shook. Hence why she sends kids to school

wellthatsunusual · 31/01/2021 22:29

@Sweettea1

If your at home working or not your kids should be at HOME. No wonder all the schools have over 50% of kids in when people keep taking the p##s. Might aswell open them back up atleast that way all children get some education. Wouldn't surprise me if most of these parents now sending there children in were crying out that the schools should close in first place. Whole thing is a joke.
I have two children at different schools and there are next to no children in school. Ironically most of the children who are in school at my son's school are the children of the staff. Who are in school because they have a parent who works in the school and is therefore a key worker. It's a bit of a vicious circle.

Anyway I think the same people complaining about health service staff sending their children to school would probably be equally annoyed if they were waiting for a consultation with eg a specialist nurse and they couldn't have one because all the nurses had to take time off because they had no childcare.

RedSoloCup · 31/01/2021 22:35

I was a bit cross last week when a couple in my village were having a nice walk together at lunchtime. They have a child in my DC class and I said oh where is little Oscar, oh he's at school as we're WFH! Now my school has emailed many times to say too many kids in really and it's not what the provision is for, annoying!! Didn't say anything though 🤣

daisychain01 · 31/01/2021 22:36

Sounds like that poster from about 10 years ago rambling on for about 16 pages about eating a manwich. Similar posting style, incomprehensible.

Must have come back for a repeat performance.

Quaagars · 31/01/2021 22:38
Confused Surely if someone works for the NHS then they're entitled to a school place? Why would it shake your world and make you livid?!
HamAndButterSandwich · 31/01/2021 22:39

Surely it depends what NHS job she's doing? If it's just admin working from home then maybe she could have children at home with her like any other admin worker has had to. If she's dealing with sensitive information, making calls etc despite being at home it may not be possible for kids to be supervised.

invisibleoldwoman · 31/01/2021 22:42

The earth never moves for me in Tesco. Envious.

PurpleDaisies · 31/01/2021 22:44

Anyone want to place a bet on whether the op is coming back?

Well, mercury is in retrograde again ...

JustCallMeTheGreatest · 31/01/2021 22:51

@Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady are you the OP?

LizFlowers · 31/01/2021 22:51

I don't get it. If she is an essential NHS worker, working from home, her kids would most likely be offered places in school. So what? That's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

It's no fun for children in school at the moment, flipping cold for a start.

PanamaPattie · 31/01/2021 22:53

Say what now?

vodkaredbullgirl · 31/01/2021 22:54

And where is the OP?
