Christmas gifts for nursery staff

Hi just I am just wondering is giving a little Christmas gift to your kids nursery staff a thing in the uk? I’m Australian and my mum and aunty are teaches and they get given little gifts at Christmas time just wondering if that is something that happens here too? If so what sort of thing would you get them? I was thinking a little self care bag with face masks, hand cream, lip balm and some chocolates (they are all young women in her room)

You can do, but it is by no means expected. Don’t go completely out of your way with something extravagant and, generally speaking, avoid mugs and personalised items.

I would say teacher presents yes. But my 2 kids have several nursery workers and to buy each of them something would be too much I feel!

I buy a box of chocolates/biscuits for all of the staff to share but I think they get so much they tend to split it and each member takes a few things home. Whilst our son has a key worker, staff rotate around rooms so I go for something simple 😊

yes definitely staying away from personalised things or best teacher things as my mum has lost count of her best teacher and personalised Christmas ornaments

P.s. no mugs, keyrings or things with quotes on based on my sister's experience as a teacher 😂

that’s why I was thinking a little self care bag

If you're happy to do this it sounds like an amazing gift, but it's not an expectation. My LG isn't at nursery yet, but we do 3 activities/groups through the week and I bought her teachers for each a little chocolate (cat for sing&sign bc the mascot is a cat, music notes for little music stars, and a duck for Puddle Ducks swimming). As a teacher, with mild hoarding tendencies, I've kept most gifts I've received but usable/consumable gifts are easier :) one of my favourites I've received though is a framed picture the child drew of us both, that goes up in my classroom each year.

What about just their key person? Or a box of chocolates for their room! As a practitioner I always appreciate a card more. Don’t get them a mug! They will have loads of mugs from over the years! 😂

If you want to, but not necessary. I have got my Son's 3 (yes 3!) teachers a small gift each and my daughter's keyworker a small gift. There are around 5 staff members in her room and she adores all of them however when does it stop? So I just did her main one. You could gift a share box of something I'm sure but they likely end up with so much and I already have my family to buy for

I made some little tree decorations for my daughter’s preschool staff this year. Last year i think i got a jar of sweets.
It isn’t expected though x

I am a nursery teacher! And by no means do we expect anything, every gift is greatly appreciated. A box of chocolates to share between the staff is perfect. I know myself, I’ve kept cards from my keychildren and their families throughout the years as they mean the most (if you wanted something just for their keyperson)☺️

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠
