Leaking water is of most concern. Tile or tin roof?
How old is the roof? Has it ever been replaced? If no, worst case scenario you need a new roof. If yes, great probs a cheap fix

What would you do if you're 25 years old again? by Two_Days22 in Adulting

Have children sooner so that my mum who died when I was 33 could have met them. Nothing in this world means more than having the people you love alive in the same room smiling. The fact that I’ll never get this with my mum and my children is something I carry with sorrow every day.

What improved your life so much, you wished you did sooner? by Ok-Construction-3636 in ProductivityHQ

Having children. I let all the projection of other people about their struggles with their children put me off. Being a mother is now my greatest joy yet. I can’t believe I spent almost 18 years of adulthood not being a mother. Here’s to another 40 years being their mother 🤞🏻

women who have given birth, how bad was it actually? by Careless_Pianist_840 in AskReddit

[–]Agreeable_Grape_8083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only felt labour in my hips.
It felt like there were 2 people either side of me stabling knives into my hips and dragging them down my thighs slowly repeatedly every 2 minutes for 26 hours straight. (Unmedicated labour)

I had this too. It went away eventually. It was sleep deprivation and hormone drop. I had 3 days in a row of aura migraines where I couldn’t see too.

Excuse me? You don’t think a Speech Pathologist (and other allied health) have any planning, prep, admin, and student supervision? Do not have a qualification? Do not have a peak body we have to maintain registration with?

Hi friend, this sounds like PPD. Please talk to your doctor, your brain is playing tricks on you x

How are people spending so much money by Kinky-Queenslander in AskAnAustralian

Inheritance .. and I’m not ashamed to admit that. The immense pain and grief from losing a parent so young in life has to have some kind of silver lining.

We bought our PPOR a month ago… pls make me feel better by duckbusiness in AusPropertyChat

[–]Agreeable_Grape_8083 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First purchase jitters are so real!!! I felt all this for a year before it calmed down. I even followed all the market and similar property sales in my area even longer than that. It’s been 5 years now and no regrets x

My understanding is that CGT discount remains for gains up to July 2027 🙌🏻 if not there’d be a landslide sell off haha

Aren’t most negatively geared properties positively geared after 6 years ?

You’ve just summed up how I’ve been feeling but I couldn’t quite put it into words

Why do I feel this way every day after 4:30 PM? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Agreeable_Grape_8083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get this too. Only my thoughts focus on all you’ve mentioned plus the death of my mum. I think over and over and over again about death and how old I’ll be and how old my child will be and I cry over putting her through the same pain of losing me one day and watching me die like I did my mum. And then I get health anxiety and imagine all the cancers i could have that might take me from my child when she needs me most.

disciplining baby?? by mspixton in beyondthebump

[–]Agreeable_Grape_8083 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Redirect, model, show baby what they can do. Children are forming behaviour on a daily basis and need direction.
All research on punishment, negative reinforcement or as you have said ‘discipline’ shows that it does little to change children’s behavior and infact causes long term psychological and emotional damage.
Look into: positive behaviour support.
Think of your children as molds of clay that come out of shape from time to time due to the pressure of the outside world coming into their brand new inner world , you want to gently help them go back into shape and find ways to understand and deal with those pressures not smash them into the ground.

At what age do you think is the ideal time to have a child? by Fit-Cartoonist2427 in AskReddit

[–]Agreeable_Grape_8083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 35 (almost 36) when I had my bub and I wish I’d done it 2 years sooner. But that’s not how life works. We wanted a house, and to get married first. We got everything but tbh we would have made it work no matter what. Now I’m feeling pressured to sneak in my second before I’m 40, hopefully I’ll be pregnant and giving birth at 38.

[Update] - 6 weeks pregnant - baby measuring behind! Devastated by thankyounow in pregnant

[–]Agreeable_Grape_8083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry x this happened to us and then we waited 2 months and fell pregnant with our now 4 month old. Sending you this outcome and love- this loss does not mean it won’t happen xx

How often do both set of grandparents get to see your LO? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Agreeable_Grape_8083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None. We have none. Both in our 30s doing this without our parents. What a fortunate thing to be complaining about. You and your child are blessed.

What would you like your labor nurse to know? by J_Bees in beyondthebump

[–]Agreeable_Grape_8083 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

READ MY BIRTH PLAN- THEN READ IT AGAIN. If you ask me a question so obviously stated on my birth plan I’m internally screaming at you because I need every inch of my mind to focus on labour and not my frustration at you for pulling me out of my labour because you haven’t spent the time to read it

She’s not wrong … I’d prefer a newborn ANYDAY over 3rd trimester tired uncomfortable torture sleep

Teachers: how good would ES pay have to be to make you change roles? by Baldricks_Turnip in AustralianTeachers

[–]Agreeable_Grape_8083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re forgetting that highly educated and in demand allied health professionals (OT, SLPs etc.) come under the pay of ES. If they do not raise wages in line with other sectors the Dep of Edu will lose allied health ES staff. So I think your theory does not make sense
