Moving to Scotland
Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice and insight.
My partner and I are planning a big move to Edinburgh, as he’s hoping to open a restaurant there. I genuinely love Scotland the atmosphere, the scenery, and the people always seem so warm and friendly whenever I visit.
However, I do have some concerns. I’m Black British, and I have a daughter who will be starting secondary school around the time we move. Naturally, as a mum, I want to make sure she feels safe, supported, and accepted in her new environment.
I’d really like to hear honest experiences what is it like for Black families living in Edinburgh, especially when it comes to schools? Have you or your children experienced any racism, and how is it generally handled?
Also, my daughter is very passionate about track and field, so I’d love recommendations for secondary schools with strong athletics programs or good sports facilities. Any tips on clubs, teams, or supportive communities for young athletes would be amazing too.
Overall, I’m excited about the move, but I just want to make the best decision for my daughter and ensure she has a positive experience.
Thank you so much in advance 💛
Have i normalised bad behaviour?
Hey all, today i reversed the car a little too much while trying to get out of tight parking and ended up scratching the car.
We have 2 cars, i drive the bigger one as im pregnant and its a lot more confortable right now.
My first thought was "shit, hes gonna be so mad! I fucked up" Now im stressed to tell him.
I wanted to ask, is this really normal? Should i be freaking out about telling my husband? I feel like a child, but hes not my parent. Surely its not normal to feel this way about your spouse? Have i just grown to believe this is normal?
Help
I’ve been feeling a bit emotional lately and just need some reassurance. My son is 20 months old, and whenever we’re at my parents’ house, he always wants my sister and not me. Today, even at home, when he woke up from his nap, he cried out for “aunty” instead of me, which really hurt. It made me start wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if he doesn’t want me anymore. I think it’s hitting me harder because I’m also pregnant with my second baby.
