Bat Phone - Help!

[callistra]

I have a friend whose husband has left her with two children and she is due to have her third baby in about three weeks. Her mum lives in Denmark, and has taken the two girls to give her some rest, but she has no one to help her with the birth. Her fucker of a husband won't be there, and she is depressed at the moment (understandably) and lives in Mandurah.

Does any one know of any sort of service that can help her, either by providing support or something? I can't get to Mandurah in any sort of decent time, plus I don't have the back up systems in place like I did for Splanky.

She is due in three weeks!

God I hate men sometimes.
This is the second time a man has left an 8 months pregnant woman with two previous of his children. If it's so fucking rare and we don't need feminism any more, then why the fuck does this keep happening? Why the fuck does a man think that a single night a fortnight is "parenting" or "fathering" a child? It's more disruptive than helpful, and really, I bet he will whine about child support and all that shit too. Fucker.

Early childhood studies... which is self selecting for those who are interested in babies... yr 11 and 12 girls for the most part.

It fits in the Health and PE learning area... but I don't know that a number of PE teachers are really the people for the job!

And _more_ things to teach in the classroom? There's already no time at all.

As with so many of the things that have been added in, they're ideally taught in the family... of course, for that to be effective, the parents have to have the skills or be willing to access them. And if they don't...? It doesn't work.

Quite.

In my evil little world I'd be having the boys doing Early childhood studies too.
