Hey.
Do u guys think it would be possible for me to take my twelve year old brother to a few lectiures with me?
I have him staying with me for as long as i deem it necessary, but don't feel comfortable leaving him in the house alone for a few hours without me here.
What do you think?

Eh, sounds a bit drastic but if it has to be done, it has to be done.
As of Monday it will be.
I wouldn't leave him in the house alone anyway, i don't like that.
As for putting him in the nursery or summat like that, he wouldn't want to. And if you have to pay i wouldn't be able to afford it anyway.
its a lot cheaper than other nursery's.
well... you could ask your lecturer i suppose but other than that your pretty much screwed.
Tis crap!!!
Think I'm just gonna ask anyway. No harm in trying. Like I say, I'm hoping it's not gonna be a long term thing anyway, so they may be lenient with me, fingers crossed
I written in a different thread of how my mum recently OD'd and so i don't really want him going back there for a while. I am so overprotective of him that i don't want him out of my sight anymore.
that will fuck anyone up. tell the university/college or wherever you are at the situation. that way they are more likely to be sympathetic.
Yeah, I'm sure if you explain the situation, and that it's a temporary measure they'll be more understanding. If it's not possible for you to take him into the lectures they may be able to help you make alternate arrangements.
I'll send them an email and take it from there
If you are in a smaller class and it would be obvious that he was there I would recommend talking to your lecturer and just being honest about the situation. If its not possible you could possibly sign him in on a computer for an hour in the library or somewhere? If you trust him not to delete all your coursework of course :impissed: It might also be a good idea to let someone know about the situation at home as it might affect your work having your brother to look after too..? Hope it gets better for you soon. *Hugs*
I have one flatmate, but she has lectures at the same time as me, so thats a bit crap.
We have a playstation as well, but like i say I'm way too overprotective at present to leave him alone.
I've emailed my lecturer now, and i reckon she should get back to me tommorrow so i shall have to see how it goes from there
My lecturer got back to me today and said that it wont really be appropriate for my brother to come along as things may be discussed that are a little too old for his ears.
She did help however and told me not to worry too much about missing them, so i feel a little bit better with that. Im just hoping that the situation wont be for too long, as i don't really want to miss too many.
Thanks for all the help
ooh makes me wonder what you are studying :razz:
Is there a sports centre in/near your uni, he could go swimming for a couple of hours, safe, supervised and occupied.
Nope! Its actually psychology!!!! Didn't think there'd be ote frisky about that course!!!
Monster has had a great thought though can you dump him at your uni swimming pool or other sports facility? Mine's got a climbing wall...
Is there a coffee shop/canteen in your dept? You could always leave him there for a lecture, I'm sure if you asked the person who runs it nicely and said your mum wasn't well (remember, that's all you need to say) they wouldn't mind.
It's not.
