Brownies & Cubs
<Mumsnet> I was never a member of the cubs(or the brownies for that) do they still exist? I was thinking of maybe enrolling the kids? What age can they start and does it still exist or has that threat of dodgy paedos, insurance and health & safety killed this off? Anyone have kids that do or...- MarillionFan

The naming of SY06
SY02 is driving me nuts with baby names books. I have read two from cover to cover and cannot find anything I like, or isn't taken already by someone we know or their respective offspring. Q SY02 rattling baby names off like machine gun fire round the clock. :suicide: Can the panel come up... -
Gender scan results
It's a baby. It is now due after Christmas and not 25th December as previously thought. Could be a new year present. Oh yes, and it's a girl. :D -
Baby gender scan
Booked tomorrow. SY02 hangs tearfully onto the last vestages of her belief that after three hairy arsed boys we are now due a girl. Not likely. The wedding ring on a hair trick indicates boy, so that's like fact, innit. :D Any words of condolence for SY02 when she finds out she is in fact... -

How much rent should a teenager pay?
My son, who lives with his mum, has just finished college and is looking for a job. In the meantime, he has a bit of part-time work on the go. He earns maybe £80 a week. I don't any longer pay my ex towards his keep since he's now over 18 and not in full time education. How much rent should he... -
How much do you save for your kids futures?
Following on from pensions. Do you put much aside for your kids future and what do you do? We put away a £1000 per year per child and pay £50 per month into a child trust fund. The £1000 per year goes into a five year bond which the plan is to rollover every five years so they get a pay out...- MarillionFan

Question for parents on the panel
We have a nanny share whereby the nanny comes to the house to look after our son (1.5 years) and brings her 2 children with her. The thinking was that he would learn to socialise with other children and be happy in his home environment rather than being dumped in a nursery. However I have... -

Harsh but educational
Been having some trouble with SY03. Stropping off, being mouthy, ignoring what he is told, being sullen. So this morning when he stood on the smallest of our "nest of tables" to try and reach something, broke it, he hid it back in the nest of tables. SY04 relished in coming to tell us what SY03...
