  • Don’t Go On Holiday If You Don’t Look Good

    Charmaine Steady has received death threats after her controversial and damn right rude post on Facebook, she has since deleted her account.

    Steady wrote “Please for the love of all things beautiful think before you go on holiday, don’t go if you don’t look good.

    We all enjoy going somewhere hot and sunny and spending our time frolicking in the pool or relaxing in the sun lounger and taking in the beautiful scenery of another country.

    Now while we love seeing the sights what I don’t appreciate is seeing fat thighs, bulging stomachs, hair sticking out of the side of bikinis or full on hairy badger armpits.

    That’s just the bleeding woman, men shave your down stairs, put bloody swimming shorts and bin the tight speedos, no one wants to see the shape of your shrivelled cock and saggy balls.

    We are all on holiday to enjoy ourselves, we plan for it, we prepare ourselves, I actually diet for months before I go, I work out, I tan, I have a full body wax, I’m not saying you can stop being a beached whale well you could if you really wanted to but you can buy swim wear that covers a lot of it, it’s really not that pricey, razors cost as little as a quid, but don’t ruin my special vacation by me having to see the ugly sights, taking photographs and having the permanent reminder of how little you care about your appearance .

    Being in holiday is meant to be enjoyable for all, don’t let your standards slip just because you’re in a foreign country”.

    Do you think people should make more of an effort on their appreance before a big holiday? Does it really matter how others dress or look? What are your thoughts on Charmaine Steady post?

  • Us Men Take For Granted The Ultimate Sacrifice Women Make

    As Men we often take for granted the ultimate sacrifice women have to make during the 9 month pregnancy process. Her body will go through unbelievable changes. She will be at risk of several different serious health issues. Her eating habits will increase. Her moods will swing. Her sleeping patterns will adjust, not forgetting the heartburn, vomiting, fatigue and the fact all her organs are moved to one side to make room for our growing child.

    Her self-esteem will take a hit, she will worry constantly about our growing baby, about the whole birth process, she will be scared of what sort of mum she may be, she will stress that she needs to buy more and be more prepared for the new arrival. And most importantly her life will be at risk.

    But we unfairly expect her body to snap back into place like it’s nothing. She will be left with battle marks and scars. She will try to hide them. She will struggle everyday with the feeling of if she is attractive enough. But the reality is, she has sacrificed her body and vanity to bring a life into this world. We should cherish her, compliment her daily and let her know that she is even more beautiful now than before, we must help her as much as we can and be the bet father and partner that we possibly can.

  • Aldi Complaint Who Is In The Right?

    Vicky Gordon’s complaint to Aldi uk has caused heated debates we would love to know if you agree with her treatment at Aldi or if she has the right to be upset.

    Gordon wrote “At approximately 11.30am, on the morning of Saturday 7th July 2018, I took my 5-year-old son into Aldi in Dartford. As we walked into the store, my son complained he felt unwell, and vomited on the floor of the first aisle. As I was trying to calm him down, a lady offered to get a member of staff for me to help us. The woman came back and said she had asked for a First Aider to come to help us.

    The woman, Andrea, came round from the tills with a kitchen roll and bag; she handed them to me, turned away and said “I don’t do sick”; and walked away. I was left standing with my son. I called after her “Could you please send a First Aider to us?” At which she replied “I’m busy on a till”; and walked away. Another customer said to me “I wouldn’t clean that up if I were you. Not after she shoved it at you and walked off like that”.

    I put the roll down and went to walk my son out of the store to get him some water, but I had to walk around to the exit, where the security guard (Collins) saw us and asked what was wrong with my son. I told him he had been sick on the floor and Andrea had just walked away from him with no regard for if he or I were okay. He told me to sit Oscar on the packing shelf and he would get us some water.

    I asked if he could also get a Manager or First Aider to come and see us. He returned and said there wasnt any bottles of water, but he would keep looking; and that a Manager was on her way. As he was about to go look for water, he pointed out the Manager Aneta. She approached another till member who was serving, and then appeared to get onto a newly opened till. I said “Excuse me, I’m waiting to speak to you”. She replied “You’ll have to wait, I need to serve”. I said “I’m sorry but my son has just been sick in your store, and your member of staff has just shoved tissue at me and walked away. I need some help with my son.” At which, she said “you’ll just have to wait, I’m busy”.

    I walked towards her, feeling rather upset and angry at how my son had been ignored; and asked her to please come over and get me some water for my son. I said that I couldn’t believe that as a Manager, after hearing she has a child that is ill in her store, has decided to serve customers is more important than checking he is okay. I asked for her name and for her colleague’s name, and said that I would be contacting Head Office. Her reply was simply “And??”.

    I went back to my son, thanked the security guard for his help in the situation, and left the store. As we walked out, my son said to me “Can we please not go in Aldi anymore”, I said “Dont worry, we wont be”. I walked into Poundworld next door to get my son some water. I called a cab for us to go to my parents home. While there, my son was clearly still ill, so I took him home.

    Later that afternoon, I contacted Aldi Customer Service and spoke to a lady called Kelly. She was utterly appalled at the situation, and actions of the staff and Manager. She apologised and said that she would escalate it to the Area Manager Daniel on Monday. She said I would get a phone call from him within a couple of days, once he had reviewed the complaint properly. Monday (9th July 2018); I got a call from Kelly at 11.15am. She said that my complaint had been passed on to Daniel and that he had asked her to send me an apology, and a £10 voucher as a gesture of goodwill. I said that no amount of money was going to make me want to go back in the store, it wasnt about the money.

    I asked for her to get the Area Manager to contact me directly, once he had reviewed the CCTV footage, and decided on a course of action. She said it would probably take a few days as he would need to speak to the staff involved etc. I said I was happy to wait. At approximately 1pm on the same day, I received another call from a different member of Customer Service, saying that the complaint had been passed on to him and that he would like to send me a letter of apology in the post. Again, I said that I would like to speak to the Area Manager once he had reviewed the footage and had a course of action. I was then told that this could take a while for that to happen, but if I was happy to wait, then he would put my request in place. I explained to him that I was going to post my complaint publicly.

    2 days after this incident, my son is still unwell. The staff had no idea whether he was severely unwell, or not. It was on one of the hottest days of the year, and all they were worried about was serving customers. To not even offer him a cup of water, is an absolute disgrace.

    I am absolutely disgusted that anyone could ignore a sick child, least of all when that child is in a shop you work in. I will not be returning to Aldi, and intend to spread our experience far and wide”.

    Vicky and her son didn’t get much sympathy on her complaint post, many people stating it is not the stores responsibility to care for a child who has vomited, what are your views?

  • I’m Not The Mum That Watches My Kids

    I’m not the Mum that watches my kids 24/7, I often watch from a distance with my feet up and a glass of wine in my hand, they don’t need me with them every second of the day.

    I’m the mom that yells up the stairs ” you better pack it in before I lose my shit and whack you sideways”. ( before you perfect parents jump on me it is perfectly acceptable in my eyes to threaten to physically harm them, I have never actually raised a hand to them).

    I’m also the Mum that waits for the real cry before going across the house to see what’s up ( I can tell when it is a whiney fake attention seeking cry to the shit I’m bleeding type of cry) . I’ll come for you being hurt but I don’t wanna come because your brother has the plastic cup you want. Figure that shit out on your own.

    I’m the mum who won’t rush across the park to scoop you up when you have had a little tumble, unless there is blood, a bone sticking out of your body or a serious injury, my kids are tough they ain’t no snowflake, they cry when they are hurt not when they have tripped.

    Stop raising incapable kids because they turn into incapable adults, stop following them everywhere, put the anti bacteria gel away, give them space to grow and learn, christ when we were growing up our mum would spit on our wounds and use her sleeve to wipe away the blood, our mums gave us the freedom to grow and learn.

  • Unless You Have Lost A Parent You Won’t Understand

    Unless you have lost a parent you won’t understand the days where half of you is completely gone, you can’t get out of bed, have no motivation for anything, not even to eat or drink, not to wash or brush your hair or get dressed.

    The days you cry for hours. The days you drive yourself insane asking yourself if it was your fault and could you have changed anything. The days of waking up taking multiple different medications just to try to keep your brain stable.

    The days of anger and rage where you feel everything is against you. The days you are triggered by something so slight that it will make you burst into tears. The days of seeing little girls happy with their fathers or hearing people say “hello dad” on the phone. The days of wishing, hoping, begging to turn back time.

    The days of wondering what the future would have been like and imagining all the happy times you could have had. The days of wishing that it would have happened later on in many many years down the line so you could have experienced life together and been by each other’s sides. The days of wishing you had a family to support you through, or just someone to call when your crying all alone.

    But this is the reality that I have to wake up to every day. These are the days I spend with my dad now, cuddling his ashes and having one-sided conversations only imagining what his replies would be, a voice in my head and a memory in my heart.

    It’s important to remember that just because we walk around with normal faces it doesn’t mean we aren’t dying and broken inside.

    I wrote this to show that these are “the days” I face now. They will never understand but maybe they might realise just how hard it truly is. I suffer every single day.

    I’m so glad this post is bringing comfort to people, we are not alone in this x

  • Children Of Narcissitic Parents Fall Into These Categories

    Children of Narcissistic Parents usually fall in to one of the following three categories:

    1. The Runner, this one tends to move as far away as possible and often cuts all contact with their narcissistic parent, sometimes even telling other their mum/dad has passed away or they grew up without parents to avoid having to talk about them, the runner realises that no matter what they say or do their narcissistic parent will never change their ways.

    2. The rebel/scapegoat, this is the one that stands up to the abuser and will forever try to get them to see the error of their ways, basically like beating their head against a brick wall, they will also take the blame for siblings rather than see them getting it in the ear, no matter what the narcississistic parent throws at them they will stand their ground.

    3. The golden child, this is the one child/sibling who rarely gets into trouble, mum/dad will throw praise at them when ever possible and often ask their siblings why they can’t be more like them, the golden child will either love the special treatment or grow to resent their narcissistic parent and possible become a runner or a rebel.

    Do you fall into one of these three categories, if so which one? Did you grow up with a narcissistic parent, what steps did you take as to resolve some of the hurt? Let us know in the comments section.

  • Fortnite dances should be banned for intimidation

    Fortnite dances should be banned for intimidation

    Fortnite is an online strategy game, you compete against other people to become the last man standing.

    In the game you can save up coins or purchase additional items, clothing or dances.

    The dances include the dab, bouncing from one leg to the next whilst making the Loser symbol with your hand called take the L, the floss, breakin’, electro shuffle, wiggle and disco fever.

    Parents are calling for Fortnite dances especially the floss and Take the L to be banned as children are using them to intimidate and bully other children.

    Many youth sports teams are doing the dances after winning a game and mocking their losing opponents.

    One mum has even set up a petition and is sharing it on social media platforms, Jemma Dunmore from Osmondthorpe in Leeds is asking worried parents to sign and share her petition to get Fortnite to remove the dances, she states that the dances do nothing to improve the game.

    She added that they were a pointless addition to the game and are only there to mock and intimidate other users and young children now deem it acceptable to rein-act the moves in the playground or on the sports field.

    What’s your views, should Fortnite remove the dances or are there too many snowflakes in the world?

  • Lidl Water Shoes Are Dangerous And Burn Feet

    Lidl water shoes are dangerous.

    I recently purchased some adult water shoes from Lidl to take away on holiday and though I had got myself a real bargain, I had already bought my children Hot tuna water shoes from Sports direct the week before.

    We arrived in Egypt for our much deserved holiday and as it expected it was hot, too hot to walk from our chairs to the pool without getting very sore burnt feet.

    Thank god we had our water shoes, no problems with burnt feet, we could walk safely to the pool or so we thought.

    After one hour of using Lidl water shoes the soles had melted, heating the shoes and insoles burning the bottom of my feet, I then spent the remainder of my holiday having to hobble along and had to resort to wearing trainers, not how I had planned to spend my holiday, the shoe originally had small rubber like balls all along the sole, these where quickly melted away and heated the shoe up, cooking my foot along with it.

    Lidl Water Shoes Are Dangerous And Burn Feet
    Lidl Water Shoes Are Dangerous And Burn Feet

    My children wore their Hot Tuna water shoes all week-long and their soles where completely intact, no burnt rubber, no sore burnt feet!!!

    Lidl Water Shoes Are Dangerous And Burn Feet
    Hot Tuna shoes no damage or burn marks

    Lesson learnt don’t go cheap when it concerns your feet, I will never buy these shoes again and hope you take extra caution if you plan on using them.

  • Anti Bullying Isn’t Something That Should be Discussed

    So I was listening to the radio the other week and it was talking about anti bullying week/day.

    Anti bullying is something that should not be discussed just on a certain week or day but something that should be regularly talked about openly and honestly.

    No one has the right to bully anyone, whether that be in the work place, at home, on the streets, at a school or through social media.

    No one has the right to make someone else feel worthless, fear for their safety or fear that their belongings may be taken from them, no one should be forced to hand over their belongings or monies through threats, violence or fear tactics.

    Remember that 1 nasty thing that you say or do to someone could be the final straw and the thing that leads them to seep into deep depression, contemplate harming themselves or to even take their own lives, and destroy their families lives along with theirs.

    For the bully,

    Do you really want to be responsible for someone else’s death?

    For the bullied,

    There is always someone to talk to, speak up and ask for help, once you do your life will drastically change.

    Don’t let the bullies win, a bully wins when the victim stays silent, a bully loses when they speak out.!

    So I urge you to speak out and not just on anti bully week or day!
