Parents Are Undecided About Allowing Their Nanny to Bring Her Boyfriend to Babysitting Sessions: ‘What Would You Do?'
'Perhaps [the boyfriend] could come once [the twins] are in bed to keep her company?' the twins' mother pondered
Fellow Mumsnet users had mixed opinions about this situationTwo parents of 7-year-old twins are on the fence about letting their nanny bring her boyfriend with her when she babysits the kids.
The mother explained on the community forum Mumsnet that she and her husband haven't met the boyfriend so they are undecided if they should grant the nanny permission to let him tag along to babysitting sessions.
'My twins have a nanny three days a week. No issues with her at all. She is hardworking, respectful and great with the kids,' the mom wrote.

'Outside of her usual hours, she will be babysitting on Saturday night from 6 until 11/midnight,' she continued. 'When I parted with her this week, she was roundabout hinting if her boyfriend could join her.'
After that, the mom decided to get her husband's thoughts on the matter.
'My husband isn't comfortable with it, but he says he might be overthinking,' she said. 'He can be a protective and anxious dad, which I appreciate, but can wrap them in cotton wool a bit more than I do.'
The mom mentioned that the twins met the boyfriend when the nanny took them to her place — 'a farm type place that had lots of nice things to do with kids' — while their parents were on a summer vacation.
'No issues, but we haven't met him personally. However it might be a good opportunity to meet him in person if he is going to be around the twins ever, even if infrequently,' the mom wrote, before offering a potential compromise. 'Perhaps he could come once they are in bed to keep her company? My husband is more comfortable with this idea.'

Seeking opinions, the mom asked Mumsnet users, 'What would you do?'
One reader replied, 'I suspect that risk is tiny, especially if you think she is a really good nanny she is much less likely to be with someone awful — and your kids are old enough to share any concerns.'
Meanwhile, another person disagreed with that user, commenting, 'I wouldn't find it acceptable. She's getting paid to do a job. I can't bring my husband to mine much as I would like that!'

Margot Robbie Is All In on '90s Minimalism
The jeans and tank top approach to heatwave dressing is nothing new. But if there's one star who's perfected the art of stripped-back, off-duty chic, it's Zoë Kravitz, whose '90s minimalist style has (and continues to have) social media in a chokehold. Every day, there's a new inspo account cropping up on my feed: you can try to unfollow them all, but like Medusa, cut one head off and three more crop up. Now, it seems that Margot Robbie has officially enrolled in the Zoë Kravitz school of dressing. Stepping out in London after a stint at Glastonbury, she perfected the formula: black tank top, straight-leg jeans, and the inescapable Alaïa mesh ballet flat. Strange shoe-induced tan lines aside, her low-key look was the perfect incognito cover to blend in with the army of tank-and-jeans girls currently pacing the pavements of every zip code, with only her Phoebe Philo bag hinting at her A-lister status. Perhaps it's the softening influence of an oppressively hot London summer, but Margot Robbie's pared-back off-duty look is a million miles away from her much documented Barbie press tour. Plus, it was topped off with the most important city accessory of all: the anti-snatch phone strap.

Drake's New Single Debuts At No. 1 — But Not On The Most Important Chart
Drake's 'What Did I Miss?' debuts at No. 1 on eight Billboard charts but narrowly misses topping the ... More Hot 100, landing at No. 2 behind Alex Warren's "Ordinary." LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 12: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Drake performs live on stage during day two of Wireless Festival 2025 at Finsbury Park on July 12, 2025 in London, England. Drake is headlining an unprecedented all three nights of Wireless Festival. (Photo byfor ABA) Drake is used to hitting No. 1 whenever he releases new music. The Canadian superstar typically scores a huge launch with either an exciting single or a full-length project, and his latest tune "What Did I Miss?" is no exception to this trend. The track brings the rapper back to the highest reaches on many Billboard rankings as it arrives. While it doesn't debut atop every list, including the Hot 100 — the most important of them all — it does manage to begin its run at No. 1 on multiple rosters, earning Drake even more leaders in the U.S. "What Did I Miss?" Launches at No. 1 "What Did I Miss?" debuts at No. 1 on eight different Billboard charts. The tune performs well enough to lead tallies focused on streaming activity, pure purchases, and overall consumption, but only when looking specifically at genre-focused rosters. Drake commands both the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts with 'What Did I Miss?' The same cut also manages to lead all of the following half-dozen genre-specific lists: Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales, Hot Rap Songs, Rap Streaming Songs, and the Rap Digital Song Sales rankings. Drake Extends His No. 1 Collection Drake is already familiar with the top spot on every tally he reaches with "What Did I Miss?" This week, the Grammy winner racks up his fifteenth leader on the Digital Song Sales chart, which is an impressive figure, but still the lowest number among all the rankings where he leads this frame. The same single becomes his thirty-first No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts simultaneously. "What Did I Miss?" Narrowly Misses the Hot 100's Top Spot Drake almost conquers the Hot 100 again this week, but "What Did I Miss?," appropriately, just misses the summit. The single kicks off its time in the runner-up spot, coming in behind "Ordinary" by Alex Warren, which is turning out to be one of the biggest songs of the year in the U.S. The track gives Drake his eighty-first top 10 smash on the Hot 100, and he extends his lead for the most placements inside that region among all artists. The same cut also becomes a top 40 hit on the Billboard Global 200, Rap Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay tallies, debuting at Nos. 9, 21, and 36, respectively.

Coldplay's Career-Making Singles Become Hits Again
Coldplay returns to the U.K. Official Singles chart with 'Viva La Vida,' 'Yellow,' which join viral ... More hit 'Sparks' as the band continues its historic global tour. TORONTO, ONTARIO - JULY 07: Chris Martin of Coldplay performs at Rogers Stadium on July 07, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario. (Photo by) After taking a few weeks off in mid-to-late June, Coldplay is back on the road as its years-long Music of the Spheres World Tour continues. The trek began in 2022 and isn't set to end until September of this year. The group will return to London for 10 dates at Wembley Stadium, which will serve as a fitting end to one of the highest-grossing concert treks of all time. The pop-rock band recently picked things back up in Toronto and is set to continue throughout the United States in July. Several of Coldplay's beloved tracks make their way back onto the Official Singles chart in the U.K. as fans revisit the classics and continue to fall in love with a newly-viral cut. "Viva La Vida" and "Yellow" Return Both "Viva La Vida" and "Yellow" reenter the Official Singles chart this week. That tally ranks the most-consumed tunes throughout the U.K., blending both sales and streaming activity to reflect what people in the country are actually listening to. "Viva La Vida" returns at No. 95, while "Yellow" comes in at No. 99. Three Hits for Coldplay Coldplay currently fills three spaces on the Official Singles chart, the most allowed for any musical act in a lead role at one time. "Sparks" jumps from No. 48 to No. 44, nearing its all-time peak position of No. 40. Interestingly, all three of Coldplay's tracks that land on the most competitive songs ranking in the group's home country are years old, as none come from any of the outfit's more recent projects. It seems that fans of the Grammy winners in the U.K. are comfortable revisiting the albums that made the group so famous in the first place, and focusing their buying and streaming on some of the biggest wins. 'The Scientist' Is Also A Top Streamer "Viva La Vida" and "Yellow" also find space on the Official Streaming chart, where they are joined by "The Scientist." Those three tracks settle at Nos. 75, 77, and 95, respectively, with only "Yellow" managing to hold steady while the other two drop from where they sat last frame.
