I guess it's the lesser of two evils if the alternative is surrogacy, but yes, there have been some awful examples. I also wouldn't recommend fostering to anyone who hasn't already got child rearing experience. The additional needs and trauma some of those kids bring with them takes an experienced hand and some skills. Perhaps experience in youth and community work for older fostering in leiu , but even then, the risk of exploitation for the already vulnerable is huge.
But any discussion about adoption and fostering should be 100% with the child in mind. Most straight fathers I know struggle to prioritise their children's needs above their own, even with a genetic link. Imagine what that will be like without the biological imperative?

These info graphics at least get the conversation going, and their subjectiveness means that everyone gets to throw in their two cents. I'm always curious how someone like myself who lives in a four bedroom inner city terrace, measures poverty compared to someone such as Anungkle who lives on indigenous land thousands of miles away. Where are we the same, where do we differ, does her sense of peace and security match mine etc etc?

Wonder where they got those figures because only working 23 hours a week in the UK has got to be bollicks. In order to qualify for working tax credits, the basic supplement to a low wage (under £18 is) you need at least 35 hours.
Perhaps it's skewered slightly by larger companies shortening the working week, but if we're talking about earning out of poverty, it'll have to be in full time employment.
And I doubt like for like Ireland requires 10 hours more 🤔

It's stir it up Sunday today, the traditional day to make your Christmas puddings and mincemeat. I usually make a Christmas cake in September, but have decided this year to make Nigella's Chocolate Fruit Cake, which doesn't require advanced prep or feeding, so this year seems like a good time to try.
My nana always made the family Christmas pudding, right up until she went into a hospice. She died five years ago this month, and I know my dad misses her...and her puddings.
So, providing I can get hold of a pudding dish, that'll be me today. Puddening. Puddin'. Of the Puds.

Not gonna lie, it was a massive pain in the hole. I didn't follow a singular recipe and I had loads of trouble getting bits to set but mostly because my pyrex jug broke and I had to weigh my liquids instead which can be hit and miss when the recipe is in ml. But it eventually came together with some improv and tasted lovely. Just took waaaay too many woman hours.
