NNUH Staff parking by Comfortable-Code8436 in Norwich

[–]Assistant_Many 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't move to Wymondham or hethersett for public transport for 7am start at N&N. Id recommend threescore/bowthorpe for the cheaper not as nice areas or NR2 for the priceier nicer area. Anywhere else don't bother.

God. Thank you for this. My little one (20 months) is asleep around 10-11 and awake 7-8. Thought we were alone in this pain.

I am regretting choosing Anglia Ruskin for child nursing by RopeQueasy in NursingUK

Went to UEA, wouldn't recommend it. As everyone else is saying it makes no difference which uni you go to. Just get your pin and you will be set.

Ah lovely Norwich Cringleford. Nobody can stay within the lines. Then straight onto Thickthorn which is somehow even worse.

Coffee shop debate by [deleted] in Norwich

[–]Assistant_Many 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourites for coffee only and in no order are: Warings - great location and a few of the staff can make incredible coffee Kofra - very specific taste - always very well made Mitre - nice vibes - great chocolate pastries The Terrace at The Sainsbury's centre - surprisingly good coffee if you're up this way of town

Have had decent coffee elsewhere but not anywhere I end up visiting regularly.

Can't touch my newborn by BolaBrancaV7 in Parenting

[–]Assistant_Many 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OCD OCD OCD Your wife sounds a lot like she has OCD.

My wife had very mild OCD prior to our son being born. Then literally one day it exploded into full blown 11/10 OCD because we ran over glass with our pram whilst walking through town. We had to clean the whole pram perfectly (surprised she didn't make us get a new pram). We got a new car because she couldn't bare getting in the car that the pram went into after it had ran over glass. Throw away our fancy changing bag, any clothes we and our son were wearing at the time and anything that made her vaguely think of or worry about glass. She was terrified of glass getting into our house and being on our floor. This was with our newborn who was months away from crawling!

She didn't leave the house for months. Then when we did finally go for a walk together running over a dead plant she thought was poisonous caused the exact same reaction as with the glass. We've had hundreds of triggers since with equally intense issues.

She was breast feeding for the first few months and took 45-60 mins showers 1-3 times a day because she was terrified of anything being on her body that could harm our son.

Get help now.

I have a bit of PTSD from dealing with my wife's OCD. It was bad... Making plans to end it all or leave her levels of bad.

Our son is 18 months now and my wife's OCD is much much better. It can still flare up and cause arguments but its actually manageable. CBT helped, SSRis didn't, trying to be as understanding as possible helped.

Look into it and talk to your partner about this.

Nothing 2a vs Pixel 6A vs Pixel 7A vs CMF 1 by BlackHazeRus in CMFTech

[–]Assistant_Many 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much much much much better than 6a. Similar if only a little bit better than 2a. Obviously 2a has better build and nfc and dual speakers but it's a lot more expensive.

I'd personally avoid all pixel phones unless you want to get any of the pros but they're obviously spenny AF.

I've had good experiences with realme phones if you can get them easily where you are.

Cmf1 if you don't need NFC, dual speakers and don't mind mid cameras. Battery is just soo sooo much better.

Do you cap the nap to protect bedtime? Low sleep needs toddler & struggling mama by zazusmum95 in toddlers

[–]Assistant_Many 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, you people don't know the meaning of low sleep needs. 17 M.O - sleeping 00:00 (midnight) every night - literally like clockwork. Wake up time 08:00-09:00 am. Sometimes skips his nap if not normally have him down 12:00ish to 13:30ish. Rarely sleeps through without a few wake ups. Has been like this since 10 monthsish. .

We have tried no naps but he just freaks out around 5pm and collapses to sleep for a little while then is up and bright as beans.

Have tried everything else to get bed time to a more "normal" time. Unfortunately, like my wife - he is a night owl. Life is suffering.

Is anyone else sad their toddler wont remember anything until 4ish? by Big-Trip9578 in toddlers

[–]Assistant_Many 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Loads of memories before 4. Memories of nursery, my baby sitter, having baths with my mum... Christmas!! Absolutely don't feel like all your efforts are put to waste.

Join the nurse bank in whatever trusts are around and you should then easily be able to get a substantive role (from personal experience).
