What is the Warm Home Discount Scheme – and can I apply? - Netmums

Hello lovelies this post is one for the UK again. Due to the cost of living crisis some of us are finding financial budgets under strain of poverty. In the UK the weather changes means people with heating in their homes will be using more Or switching the heating on after the summer months becomes expensive the more it’s utilised. This is a very comprehensive article and there are links to other…

I'm reading a netmums thread about noisy hotel neighbours and the last post said 'People here in the UK are so inconsiderate! I should move to Japan!'

😂 I can report that it's an issue here too.

For a long time, the internet and social media have been bloated with memes, even articles, that denigrate men and most forms of traditional masculinity. Many of the people behind these posts insist that they are simply snarky barbs aimed at people with the most “privilege” who can’t take a joke.

If there was ever any doubt about the veracity of or honesty behind such a statement, a growing trend appears to pull back the veil.

Recently, the online magazine Slate ran an eye-opening story revealing that many young couples are using in vitro fertilization to ensure they conceive daughters instead of sons. In other countries, IVF is legal only as a screening measure to detect the likelihood for genetic diseases. Not in the U.S., where IVF clinics have mushroomed in number over the past two decades because prospective parents want freedom of choice.  

In one American study, white parents picked a female embryo 70 percent of the time. A 2010 study showed that American adoptive parents were 30 percent more likely to prefer girls than boys, and were willing to pay an additional $16,000 to ensure they got a girl. 

One 31-year-old woman interviewed for that piece, who works in human resources (an industry dedicated to equity and parity) said, “When I think about having a child that’s a boy, it’s almost a repulsion, like, Oh my God, no.”

Such disturbing sentiments are widespread in the U.S. and are part of a growing trend in Western cultures — popularly called Gender Disappointment. An Australian psychologist who specializes in antenatal and postnatal care conducted a Facebook survey and found that Gender Disappointment is most common in women, who unabashedly want daughters, not sons. One woman posted on a mothers’ chat board that the “vast majority” of women on “every social media (Facebook, Instagram) site or general website (Netmums, Mumsnet, Reddit)” voice this gender bias. “There are websites like ingender and genderdreaming just dedicated to Gender disappointment…some of them are straight out Boy bashing or anti boy posts.”

This invites the question: What exactly is it about having boys that seems so repellent? Many of the women in the Slate article, even mothers of boys, pointed to that sweeping, damning and vague label “toxic masculinity.” They spoke to girls’ “limitless potential” versus that of boys. Girls move out of the house earlier, achieve greater academic success, are more likely to attend and graduate from college, find jobs more readily than male peers and have higher emotional IQ.

One woman insisted that boys are “less caring toward their parents.” This woman craves a ‘“close friendship”’ with her future child that ‘“seemed possible only with a female child.”’  

It isn’t just women. Another interviewee echoed the sentiments of many younger men when she said her husband values characteristics ‘“more [stereotypically] associated with girls,”’ such as “empathy, social skills, and kindness.”

This invites the question: If these skills are so important — and they are, as schools, workplaces and relationships increasingly demand them — why can’t we simply teach them to boys?  

Such gender bias is emblematic of the selective empathy trend in which people proffer tolerance, compassion and context only for those they deem worthy. Though unintentional, this was what Rachel, who works in spaces that empower girls and women, was speaking to after reading my book.

“I had no idea so many men struggle deep down and have these anguished inner lives,” she said. “Many of us have this belief that men’s privilege insulates them from the struggles the rest of us have.”

I absolutely appreciated her sincerity and thoughtful admission. And the lack of empathy that belies many girls’ and women’s perception of boys and men is problematic. It’s maladaptive and robs males — one-half of the population — of their humanity and very real struggles.

Part of the reason this dearth of empathy exists is that too many men have abdicated their responsibilities. The men who are wounded by this brand of toxic messaging don’t speak up because they are afraid of the backlash, especially of being “canceled” or widely attacked on social media. They fear being labeled (unfairly) as extremist “Men’s Rights” apologists.

And the men who do speak up rarely do so in a productive way. Too often they shrug and pretend not to care, and instead take their grievances to the online “manosphere’s” dark corners, where they exact revenge among a receptive, misogynistic audience.   

It’s also time that women did some soul searching — that they stop and reconsider their prevailing, limiting perceptions about men and masculinity. Their own personal experiences with men don’t apply across the board, and such wanton attacks on and wholesale dismissal of boys and men only perpetuate and normalize a reactivity that’s uncritical and self-pitying.

A more productive social media post might feature a montage of boys and men with this caption: “Yes, you need to level up…you also deserve empathy and compassion along the way.” It’s not catchy, but it moves the conversation forward in a way we need it to go.

Same, but also NetMum it is never on you to fix me or my mood even though I know you would if you could and of course I would for you too if possible <3

Anyone else have that thing where you get stressed out when someone else is in a bad mood because now it's your responsibility to make them feel better, but if you're in a bad mood and someone tries to cheer you up you get stressed out because now it's your responsibility to pretend that it's helping to make them feel better.

Fridays. Admin days. Fridays for me are all about admin Sending emails, scheduling content, going through finances, pruning off my chaos coordinator pages ready for my prep for the week on Sunday. Filing papers. Etc. Having a day dedicated to tasks like this really help keep me on track. It helps me when planning in events, when scheduling in a coffee date with friends etc. Do you have theme days to your week? Do you wing it and hope for the best? #timeblocking #themedays #adminday #schedule #mymumlife #chaoticmum #mumsofinstagram #channelmum #motherhoodorganized #organisedlife #organisedmum #organisedmotherhood #socialmamahub #netmums #mumsnet #parentlife #taptotidy https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci2OwI-sfON/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What I’m supposed to be doing this week - Launching the amazing signature program and putting plans in place to start it in a couple of weeks. What I’ve decided to do instead- take the time for me to rest after last weeks event and put the effort into Mums In The Groove community building and the Brew @ Two. Yes making a living is important Cos ya know we need to eat & I’d quite like a holiday at some point. However what I’m doing right now building a community, chatting to amazing women on the brew at two show and spreading my mission as far as I can is what is filling my heart. My signature program will open its door this week. But we are not starting until September. I mean I’ve just spent a week trying to simplify your summer holidays (if you’ve been on the summer Groove.) So I’ll be banging the drum for Grind to Groove Over the coming weeks because I know it’s truly going to make a difference to your life but we are not starting until after the summer holidays are over. Doors will open this week however and places are limited so that everyone gets the best out of my Time. Join the mailing list if you want to know what’s happening and when! #mumlife #takingtime #momentsofmine #overwhelmedmum #grindtogroove #livingmebestlife #mumssupportingmums #mummybloggeruk #mumvillage #channelmumvillage #mumsnet #netmums https://www.instagram.com/p/CRQdMHfskAp/?utm_medium=tumblr
