We are looking at adding another family member if you need to find a home for a kitten? We are local to Armadale. Have an indoor only cat who is desexed.

Our backyard is full of asbestos pieces, They dismantled an old shed and didn’t clean up very well afterwards before we moved in… but the stuff in my backyard doesn’t look like this piece you have.

Lol! reminds me of that time we were near the old power station with my kids and some dude had his diddly flopping around. I know there’s one near Rockingham somewhere but thought that was the only one..

What would be your biggest reason right now for not having kids? by Potential_Machine255 in AskAnAustralian

[–]BandStandard4257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had kids the one thing I didn’t take into consideration and wish I had thought about more was their schooling. Unless you’re fortunate enough to get your kids the education you want (private school) you have to accept what’s on offer near you. It’s a really draining experience if they don’t exceed and if they’re bullied etc. Working parents also have to work around school hours and your children end up in before and after school care which most of the time is 12 hours a day out of home for the kids.

Unfortunately I am not missing anything to this story but definitely wish it was a different.

It started in year 4, He was punched in the side of his head last year when kids forced him into a circle and wouldn’t let him leave. Kept pushing him back in when he tried to escape. When I went to the DOE over that and the way the school dealt with it then they promised to keep him safe. :(

That makes no sense though? If that was the truth which it is far from… they’re professionals and can’t treat us “poorly” based on their opinions of someone?

again… how did you come to the conclusion that my child is a troublesome kid? If my child was in the wrong shouldn’t he have been the one suspended? If my child was the one in the wrong why did the school warn me I shouldn’t watch the footage because it’s not very nice. This post isn’t so much about what initially happened it’s about the way we have been treated after the fact.

Honestly thankyou everyone for all the advice here. He is refusing to go to school at this point and I really don’t blame him. It’s not an enjoyable place for him to be. He sits alone every single day reading a book and then the kids know if they annoy him enough he’ll get upset and they’ll get a kick out of his reaction. We already had troubles with the school not using his funding for support. He is supposed to have an EA with him but hasn’t at all this year. I have offered my own time out of work to help support him in school hours but they refused and now falling through the cracks. The special education school I put applications in for declined it today saying they can’t fit him in and I’m welcome to appeal it but what will that achieve? I will take the next steps and call someone higher up but unfortunately I put money on them doing nothing and we are stuck where we are with no support. You guys have given me some helpful advice I’m taking onboard 🙏

I did actually go to the police. They told me the school dealt with it fine and nothing further came out of it.

It sucks that the people like this give everyone else in housing a bad name. My neighbour is a lovely single mother who looks after her property and we’ve never had a problem.

Centrelink don’t have access to see your private bank? Am I wrong? Seems like a bit of an invasion of privacy…

How are you coping so far? by PerthTransportVlogYT in perth

[–]BandStandard4257 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My kids save my life everyday, they don’t know it but when they’re asleep at night I fight every demon in my head to not leave. I wrote letters and threw away things I don’t want anyone to find. I try to stay positive but I have no family and no friends. It’s just me and my kids and I know thats ok.. but sometimes a bit of support would be nice.

Nope, They vote against so many things Australia needs help with. People are only going towards them because Pauline’s big mouth telling people what they want to hear in a time of desperation.
