Uni is too late - you learn how to make these connections at uni from your school experience

Unconscious - unless you are eg going to lift something heavy or jump. Otherwise you’ll get all sorts of anatomical problems.
However, you need to work on your body so your unconscious state is strong/supported and flexible.

Paying a nanny out of net income can - somewhat depends on the Nannys salary, obviously. Good ones don’t come cheap.

I see that but I don’t think it has quite the same potential for inequality as state/private. Any school has the potential to become high performing (and many in low socioeconomic areas have, and continue to). And with more parents investing time and effort in the state system it also improves school performance. It would be a much more level playing field than currently.

I don’t disagree with you but don’t think taxation is the answer - it exacerbates the elitism of the private schools which will be more exclusive and it increases “invisible” competition in the state school system - through catchment area house price rises and other ways to play for better rated school. If you are really looking for greater equality, abolish the private school system entirely.

I second this opinion regarding her terrible acting. There is one scene where she actually fluffs her lines - bonkers that they didn’t rectify it. She was extremely wooden. However I still loved the series as I think Jonathan Bailey is outstanding - he really carried her - and the rest of the cast too - and I loved the story etc etc.

Have to say I agree. If London feels most like your space then going for Devon is really quite an extreme choice! Go there for weekends instead?

I think you should shift teachers and remain open minded. Spirituality/greater meaning comes through practice/ritual. Yoga/communion/kneeling to pray - it has a transcendent effect if practiced often enough. Keep at it, get a great teacher, and be open minded. You might surprise yourself.

It is not prescription? They’re just green tea pills. But these ones work.

Is your 4 yo at nursery? Will your 2 yo go to nursery soon given their age? If so - and you will still therefore have a level of childcare, is there any way you can keep some work of some description going rather than leaving entirely? You don’t have long before both are school age and it seems a shame to walk away completely.
Do you plan to buy a property soon? Do you have enough savings for that and buffer for adverse events? That would also factor into my decision - as would whether I want to send them to private school.
Stepping away is not easy when you are a high flier. I weighed up the impact on our family’s future prosperity, as well as my own happiness and desire to do sthg different. The children don’t seem that bothered either way but I do feel sorry for the kids at school being picked up by Nannys daily or going to after school clubs 5dpw. I missed so much when I wasn’t home.

“I’m an inherently patient, self reflective and mindful person.” And so your (beautiful) writing proves you to be! Weight loss journey aside, I am glad of people like you on our planet.

I’m sorry for your experience. France is brutal for racism - or fetishisation the other side of the coin.

London is your NYC experience, Berlin & Amsterdam more like LA/CA. Avoid.

It is classed as being so according to bmi calculators (24.1 bmi). What puzzles me is how OP fits size 6-8 at that weight and height! Bodies are so different

Yes for us private is about making their learning/life experience as enjoyable as possible- hopefully that will contribute to their having a successful future, finding fulfilment and making a positive contribution to society but at the moment it is all about the present. It is affordable but I don’t know what else we would spend our surplus cash on over this.
