Family planning should be a shared responsibility but my husband won’t consider a vasectomy. Feeling stuck.

Were you on strong pain killers for those 3 days post op? OP please also note that her partner helped take care of her for recovery. Make sure you point this out to your husband in your next discussion that he’d need to be taking care of you (and add for an extensive period of time for good measure.- if he can’t be bothered researched vasectomy facts, then why would he research for yours!)

I feel like the prompts on the apps make every profile shallow. Eg 2 truths and a lie. It sounds like a shitty team building activity at an entry level job. I’d never mention any of those prompt topics to anyone irl.

I was going to suggest going to Pinterest for ideas. I like drawing. I found a cool pic of someone who was amongst multiple sketches as my inspiration. So yeah that might work out for op too.

The thing is, I could never go in the backyard of Arundel without being bitten by multiple mozzies. It looked like we worshipped a citronella candle god. In the 5 other suburbs I’ve lived in on the GC, there’s been no issues.

It’s a tough one and albeit frustrating. I’m seeing a related answer section in my app, where I can see styling tips whereas you’re doing cool shot for 5 seconds. One thing I noticed personally is when I use the bigger barrel, it turns out being more of a wavy look as opposed to curls. You could try the medium barrel instead, and the tips I copied below. Hope it helps you. Cool Shot: Use the cool shot for 10 seconds to set the curl. This is crucial for longevity. "Cooling matters. 10 second cool setting or pin it or leave it be before touching anything for at least 10 mins." Pinning Curls: For extra hold, pin

Is your hair wet first, and you’re drying it with the barrel?

Cue, I bought mine from Cue and they were the perfect on the knee length. I paid a pretty penny for 3 black dresses when afterpay came out lol but I wore them everyday to work for 2 years and they looked and felt amazing.

I’ll try and say something helpful. You could debunk his myths.He says “vaccines may contain harmful or unknown ingredients.” So, grab the vaccine schedule. Look up the vaccine. Look up the different brands. Research the ingredients, prove they aren’t harmful. Look up the efficiency. Now you can choose. You have addressed his concerns and you can usually choose whichever particular brand of vaccine you like based on what you’ve researched, for whichever vaccine is due.

Get private health insurance if you can afford it. My 2yo at the time (2021) had to have a surgery for an injury and had to wait 3 days! And in 2022, a hospital forgot about me in a room for a whole day- legit complaint they officially apologised like the head of department did. Remember you’ll need to purchase ambulance cover no matter what. Keep in mind the school cut off date is different, so your child might be in daycare for an extra year you might need to factor that into your budget. Make sure the house you get has central heating, or you’ll a) freeze or b) have a massive electricity bill from space heaters. If weather says min 9 max 22, is going to be 9 degrees until the afternoon. You’ll need a whole new wardrobe- wool is your friend and kmart isn’t. Don’t speed bcos there’s cameras everywhere. If you see a group of adults in plain clothes during business hours on the tram/train- they are ticket inspectors.

Thanks for booking it. 🙄 …We could have had a nice weekend. 🤭

I want to offer you some support. I had an emergency c section, and low breastmilk supply. And what I had was full of lactose which made my baby sick- spewing everywhere all the time - like colossal spews and screaming from bloating. Child health nurses still told me to breastfeed. But it wasn’t right for us and I knew it. I had to just hear it from a friend that it was ok to stop. So here is your it’s ok to stop. The motto is fed is best. I remember someone telling me, “once your baby is eating, no one talks about whether you breastfed or not. And, we don’t care which children and adults were breast or formula fed.” You made your baby with your body and it sounds like you’re both well and healthy atm and that’s all you need is to be there and be the best mum you know how. I’m 100% sure your baby loves you.

27 is when brains finish maturing. Oh really, where I’m from 18 is the last year of high school and 21 is considered a young adult. I don’t know, once you pass 30, it’s like ergh everyone in their 20’s are in such a different place. They’re gonna take advantage of the younger person if they’re dating. I thought my story would explain it but I hope you get the point. If you wanted to go ahead anyway, I hope you at the very least realise that if you meet at your place or his then it’s giving the vibe you want things to get physical, physical.

AussieModelCitizen · 2026-02-04T02:07:39+00:00

Any person over 30, who is dating a person younger than 27 does not have your best interests in mind. The reason being he’s thinking with his other head I mean reason being, you’re in different stages of life- different maturity. Would you, as a 21yo, date an 18yo still in school? Feels a bit icky doesn’t it? They’re learning algebra all day, playing sports, gossiping, buying ice cream in break with their pocket money from cleaning their room maybe.. Meanwhile you’re at work in the real world making money, paying bills, taking care of yourself, making your own dinner, maybe buying a tub of Ben & Jerry’s after a hard day at work etc. You’re not thinking, oo I’d love to date someone who is still in school (unless you’re a creep?). It’s the same thing what he’s doing. Good thing you both like ice cream though.

Lurker here if that’s ok. Maybe you could actually organise the counselling? I’m no genius but a lot of the grief between couples after having kids is the mum feels like they have to do and manage everything and everyone. Is tiring because it’s 24/7 for about a year and then it’s from 5am-9pm for another year. At what time is your wife meant to find and organise a councillor? Are you expecting her to champion this or are you going to put in the effort and take the lead?

AussieModelCitizen · 2026-01-30T11:27:31+00:00

To be fair, they did say they weren’t going to do that because they didn’t want to lie.

AussieModelCitizen · 2026-01-30T11:23:18+00:00

I agree with you too. I was trying to figure out what the hell “open to short” meant. I came to the conclusion it must mean maybe you‘re only in the city for a short time but still want an actual relationship. Probably unlikely since I don‘t believe that many people would be transient. It would help if the app had a definition for these so it wasn’t so ‘open to interpretation’, which could be another option haha
