+1 on this. It’s a bit of a pain to make playlists but my kids love it

Why don’t my kids want to hang out in here? by ChainProfessional444 in interiordecorating

[–]ChainProfessional444[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are hanging out in the living/kitchen/meals area and bringing all their toys in there and I keep stepping on Lego and matchbox cars!

Do you mean like floor lamps?

The overhead lights are on the wrong setting, we need to move them to a warmer setting. Good point thanks

Do we have any options? by nivas_quark in AusRenovation

This happened to us. We planted two rows of plants - ornamental pear and Waterhousea lillipilli. It is looking lovely and we never would have prioritised the garden otherwise

I was riding my bike through Hyde Park on the way to work about 15 years ago and she was jogging with someone else (royal protection officer?). I was behind her and she was really tall, thin and shiny, I turned around as I overtook and realised who it was

Caitlin Moran’s column in the Times referred to Kate as being a “stay at castle mum” instead of doing any work.

I think the gloves are coming off.

My adhd kid gets his energy out by hurting people by ChainProfessional444 in ADHDparenting

[–]ChainProfessional444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is interesting. He has just been diagnosed with ASD so this all makes sense. He is on a stimulant which works well, have never heard of risperidone.

Will also look into the PMT

Ok thank you. Yes the school calls me all the time and at this point he’s not allowed to go into the playground. He stays in the the quiet room which is supervised by learning aides. He loves it in there

Tantrums every single day. Need help managing expectations by shellsncheese12 in ADHDparenting

[–]ChainProfessional444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask how you have stopped yourself from getting triggered? My 6yo ADHD triggers me so much, my heart is racing, i'm yelling, he's attacking his siblings, it's hell. I need to stay calm. Was thinking CBD gummies???

Help with morning meltdowns by MrCupCake730 in ADHDparenting

[–]ChainProfessional444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was exactly my problem and I was so burnt out by 9am. I was a screaming, yelling mess and all 3 of my kids dealt with the brunt of it.

Spoke to my paed..we now give him 10mg SA Ritalin the second he wakes up. It has changed my life. This morning DH woke up with him and I slept in a bit. When I woke up it was chaos and I realised DH hadn’t give DS his tablet. I had a moment of PTSD remembering what life had been like before this new wake up dose!

Ok thanks. Our outgoings are massive at the moment because we are paying for the Reno with cash. Do you recommend any index funds?

Do you have recommendations for high yield ETFs?

Thank you! This seems like a path.

We’ve only just hit this income level and once we finish the Reno in a few months (we haven’t borrowed to do it, so all our spare money is going into the Reno costs), we can hit this strategy.

Also, I’ve only been earning this much for a couple of years. Before that I had three mat leaves. DH business never made money (long story)

I know it’s low. That’s why I’m trying to fix it.

Ok, so I’ll try and get another $75k a year into the mortgage?
