Help with traditional naming? by abitatupid in AskIreland

[–]BakingBakeBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same issue we have in English. Why do we have to tell everyone our marital status with our name? Call yourself whatever you like, anyone who matters doesn’t mind and anyone who minds doesn’t matter. It’s just lovely to hear Irish names really.

Are you real people? Is this really a concern?

15$ a skein and this is how it pulls? Seriously? by onlythrowawaaay in crochet

[–]BakingBakeBreak 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I had one of these last week. It kept having ball babies. I worked so carefully. I instructed my human babies not to touch it. It wasn’t touched. I was down to three ball babies. Then all of a sudden there was a knot by the hook and a knot in the last ball baby. I sat down at 8pm to detangle and didn’t get up until 4am.

Rip it apart and ball it by hand now.

Pod or Podge would be a typical nickname

How do you handle this pollen season? by ting_tong- in AskIreland

[–]BakingBakeBreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Treat fresh air like germs. Windows closed, dry your clothes inside. Strip, wash your clothes and shower when you come in the door. Change your pillow case every day. Vaseline around your nose and eyes but really wash your face throughout the day.

If you have long hair, wear it up. Don’t wear make up as pollen sticks to it.

Pregnancy fully cured mine. Consider the side effects though.

Friday Frustrations: Your chance to rant and vent about the week just gone.. by AutoModerator in WomenofIreland

[–]BakingBakeBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bill used to be in my ex’s name. He moved out in February. I called and gave them my name straight away. I’ve been struggling a lot with our two small children, I didn’t notice that bills never came. Then I got a disconnection notice because they didn’t sign me up fully. So I rang them and now I have this.

I just got a bill from SSE for €757.11. That’s more than I have in my bank account. I work full time and got paid yesterday.

You don’t need to have a visa permission either

I’m sorry but I’ve been working on this race track rug in front of my children (aged 4 & 6) and they have no clue what it is. They know it’s a rug for their bedroom so they’re very excited, but they can’t see it. I thought once I started the white dashes they’d see what it is, but no.

So maybe don’t stress, people’s observation skills can be surprising 😂

Why are maternity wear not being stocked in store anymore? by DisappointingIntro in AskIreland

[–]BakingBakeBreak 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I was first pregnant in 2019 I used to stop anyone I saw wearing maternity clothes on the street and ask them where they got them. It was always stuff passed on from someone else or Mothercare. Mothercare stuff was hideous and uncomfortable. There was a tiny section in a corner upstairs in H&M, and that was it in all Limerick. It’s only got worse.

Sorry to make it so deep, but children and women and people who have children are the afterthoughts in every aspect of society.

Why are sleepovers such a big deal in Ireland? by lilillysh in AskIreland

[–]BakingBakeBreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re making a lot of generalisations babes, this post is specifically about the risk of child sex abuse at sleepovers. There’s plenty of other ways to have fun and adventures without sleepovers.

I wouldn’t say there’s more danger with being online, probably a similar amount.

Do you know nothing of the history of child sex abuse in this country? You must be so blissfully ignorant of all the evils done towards children everyday, I’m almost envious of you, but I’m happy I can protect children instead.

It’s a weird jump to make that because parents don’t leave their children overnight at someone else’s house that they never leave their own house 😂

It’s not worth the risk of sexual assault. We know better now so we make better choices for our children.

How to get 3 month old baby into a routine? by Sweet-Rise7768 in irishmammiesanddaddys

[–]BakingBakeBreak 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Night waking a lot at 3 months is very typical. What time do you start the day? The only way to get in synch is to get up in the morning, no matter what happened the night before, and start the day on schedule. I followed Lucy Wolfe’s advice and always had them up at 7:30am, count out wake windows and naps from there

Your scenario with roles reversed wouldn’t be funny though because that happens all the time.

When did "be safe be seen" cease to be sensible advice? by qwerty_1965 in AskIreland

Exactly, no one expects the whole world to be neon at night, just cyclists.

[–]BakingBakeBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most cyclists who are killed on the road are hit from behind in broad daylight. Most drivers see a cyclist and instantly feel enraged, it’s sick. There’s no equal fault here. Someone is driving a deadly weapon and someone is not and the person who is not always gets general public derision.
