Our local free weekly newspaper always has pages of photos from school events.
I was recently shocked/surprised to see a photo of my GS with whom I've been denied contact.I googled his name and found the photo and his name were on the website of local press.
I just wonder if parents are always aware that this can happen and if their permission is given for photos/names to be published.

jo I'm afraid that is exactly what you become as a pensioner. Regardless of how much you have paid into your superannuation/pension pot/NI your pension is seen as a hand out, money for old rope and naturally it's enough because "of course you don't have a mortgage to pay" - and who exactly paid that mortgage off???
You are not a source of experience or wisdom because everything is different - although to my way of thinking babies still have a head, 2 arms, 2 legs and another end out of which disproportionate amounts of poo etc issue. You are not allowed to be forgetful or busy when you are needed. A friend of mine who looks after an elderly aunt several counties away and is organising the wedding of the century in early September was told by her DD " Mum, you need to take it easy" and then promptly invited fiance, his parents and siblings to Sunday lunch chez said Mum!!
Oh I am not really complaining
but it took a bit of getting used to!
