Whether you agree with the Ministry's decision or not, the one thing that everyone seems to forget is just how it affects the children in school. Vic was in tears at not being allowed to go back to school, and Mini still doesn't quite understand why though she's at least settled a little. Molly has been brilliant at helping us out until we can make other arrangements, but it isn't easy to rip them out and pull them away from their friends, I can only imagine what it would be like for the older children. At least Victoire was only in Year 1 and Mini in nursery.

Oh, and I have to disagree with the Weekly, battle scars are very sexy.

	Poor dears. I hope you get everything sorted out for them. If I were still on maternity leave, I would offer to help out for a while. I'll let you know if I hear word of any alternatives out there. They do have their allure, don't they? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	We'll have to, of course, but I do hope the girls adjust well enough. Thank you, but I can understand the ~~desire~~need to return to work. Molly's really understanding, but you known your mother. They do indeed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's understanding, but there are moments where--yes. At least the girls are in good hands until things get arranged. Perhaps there's a way to make sure they still get time with their old friends from school? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, yes, but I think the same of my own. I'm going to see about arranging some playdates with their friends, just need to speak to a few mothers. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I really am quite fond of my own battle scar. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Are you calling me sexy? Why Fleur, I never knew. I'd be flattered if I wasn't equally afraid of my girlfriend and your husband. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am sorely tempted to do just that, my dear, but I doubt there is anywhere on this earth that they can't find us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's very true. What a shame. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sadly, our love shall forever remain unfulfilled and unattainable. We must be strong, somehow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure there will be many Weekly articles to help us through the tough times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure what help they'll be when they are taking pleasure in reminding us that we can never be together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sorry that this affects them, Fleur. Hopefully they adjust quickly to the change. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fleur_ 2012-02-06 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I imagine they will. It's never easy to explain change. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Quite upsetting to read that, Fleur, but I'm sure they'll adjust quickly. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fleur_ 2012-02-06 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure that they will, given their age it may be easier for them, even if it's more confusing in the short term. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right. Kids are fantastic at adapting. Other than this are they doing well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fleur_ 2012-02-06 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	They generally are. Yes, they're all very well, and growing more and more by the minute, I'm sure. (Reply to this) (Parent)
