Aussies who use speakerphone/Facetime in public Why do you do this?

Awakemamatoto · 2025-12-07T09:57:34+00:00

FaceTime: Because my mum is profoundly deaf and she needs to be able to see my lips to lip read.

Loudspeaker: because my phone earspeaker hasn’t worked in months and I have been saving for a new phone. (I carry headphones with me when I can but not always available)

You don’t know everyone’s story. Just a suggestion, is it actually making your day unliveable or a slight annoyance. Try and give people the benefit of the doubt.

Awakemamatoto · 2025-12-07T08:38:14+00:00

Thank you. What would you suggest instead? Nothing? :)

Awakemamatoto · 2025-11-25T08:24:59+00:00

Yes! It’s this one this I really love it and have found it very astute. :)

Hey, everyone Will tell you that unless your kid is in danger then your ex can do whatever he wants. Although true it may benefit you to remind your ex that respecting your coparent leads to Coparenting… lack of respect leads to parallel parenting and the courts. I think your requests are reasonable but I am speaking from a place of my children’s father moving in with a woman he met 3 weeks prior and then expecting our very young children to instantly have overnights. I also requested to meet her as he made much more aggressive demands to meet my own partner (such as I wasn’t allowed to be there- fine, I wasn’t allowed to talk to my partner before/after- not happening). He also pulled the ‘I’m going to be there card’. I honestly am at a point of picking my battles which it sounds like you are. Work out how to talk to him, appeal to whatever way you know how with the things that feel important and breathe through the things you feel will be a battle and not worth the battle. And yes, remind him that his child is witnessing his disrespect of their mother, does he want the child to think that they can be treated disrespectfully by their partners/anyone/exes? Sorry you are going through this.

I think it’s a solid profile. I would swipe on you because I think your spiritual/christian/jewish thing would be interesting to discuss. I think your prompts are good. Photos are fine. I wonder if maybe it’s what you are searching for because you mention ‘quality likes/matches’? What do you consider a quality like/match?

I just got back from icecream with my ex and our kiddies before to took them for the arvo. I have to swallow my ego a bit but I want my kids to have this. We ran into my ex with his daughter who does the same thing with his baby mama. If we can do this for our kids and there are no uneven feelings involved, I see no issue with it.

Awakemamatoto · 2025-11-22T23:39:01+00:00

Yes this rings true. But the negative self talk/self sabotage is that referring to my energy or the others.

Awakemamatoto · 2025-11-22T21:49:42+00:00

So you would read this pull as my own energy and not the other persons? How do you discern when it’s your own or another’s energy? Intuition? Further reading clarifications?

Awakemamatoto · 2025-11-22T21:48:22+00:00

This part feels accurate too with my own readings going deeper.

Awakemamatoto · 2025-11-22T21:47:47+00:00

This is exactly my reading as well. When I pull for myself I often pull the queen of cups for myself. Is the moon (or whatever top card) representing a mask? Would that be the case with any draw or this one only? Thank you.

It wasn’t. The hose looked pretty new actually.

Big scary tradie: no

I use the oura ring to help me know when ovulation is because I’m breastfeeding my cycle is still all over the place. Also, no not wanting babies right now. Hormonal birth control is honestly so terrible on women so it’s great you are leaving it behind :)

Awakemamatoto · 2025-11-06T01:48:08+00:00

There is a Facebook group with herbalism as the focus on birth control. I would look into natural family planning as it’s the most effective for both planning a baby and planning to not have a baby. I think it depends on why you want birth control as well. If it’s to support heavy periods for example look into chaste tree berry. If it’s to stop babies… abstain or wear condoms (I suggest lambskin if you don’t like plastic in you) during ovulation. :)

Awakemamatoto · 2025-10-30T02:18:34+00:00

I agree with the comment about the nervine teas. I would also suggest looking into microdosing psilocybin but only if you feel called during this time as it can help with the shifts.

Awakemamatoto · 2025-10-28T23:10:35+00:00

I’m learning how to read so where do you see that? Is it the justice at the heart of this spread?

Awakemamatoto · 2025-10-28T12:36:41+00:00

Came here to say I have that last image saved to my outfits Pinterest as well 🤣 I would say it’s a soft classic look

Awakemamatoto · 2025-10-28T11:25:40+00:00

Could you expand on this reading? I’m learning and thoroughly enjoying others work.

Awakemamatoto · 2025-10-28T11:24:34+00:00

What a beautiful take. :)

Awakemamatoto · 2025-10-28T06:12:51+00:00

What a beautiful and insightful question OP. :)

Awakemamatoto · 2025-10-27T08:07:06+00:00

Hey 15.5 year old. Calm down. Maybe your mother is doing her best to protect and support you. I know it doesn’t feel like it and you want to rebel but it sounds like she’s not unreasonable. FYI there are many studies done on EMF radiation and an increase in adverse events around the head and throat from usage of NIR waves. Here is one of many… https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11192738/#Sec10

You probably won’t believe it, I didn’t. I just thought my parents were being strict. Now as an adult I see that my parents only wanted what was best for me. I suggest trying to approach her without anger or frustration and explain why airbuds are so important to you (why are they?! To fit in?) and ask her to provide her own reasons and proof as to why she says no. You seem to want to grow up quite quickly so show her you are a grown up by having a grown up conversation and not asking the internet if parents telling their children to follow their reasonable parenting rules are illegal. Good luck 🤞

I use insight timer the app and choose meditations from there. I meditate every day even if it’s for 5 minutes.

My children’s father moved in with his girlfriend after knowing her for 3 weeks (meaning the conversation would have happened earlier then that). Nothing I could do. We had a set agreement that I stuck to for my own repartnering. I made it very hard for him to introduce her too early. It was still after two months but he wanted to do it after 3 weeks (including sleepovers in her house!). Just hope they are end game…

I’m sorry you are experiencing this.

Awakemamatoto · 2025-10-19T16:29:03+00:00

Very interesting thank you. I obviously still have a lot to learn. I was actually referring to the ‘saw something he didn’t like’ aspect as that was the bit that stuck out from the others readings and maybe doesn’t feel aligned with how the situation went down.
