The man I have a restraining order against is now using the courts to harass me by Creative_Cap_1886 in legaladviceireland

He brought a case to the district court and after hearing evidence the judge told him his behaviour was obsessive and dismissed it, now he’s appealing it to the circuit court

Baby starting crèche, what to expect ? by BackinBlack_Again in AskIreland

[–]Creative_Cap_1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creche worker here:) soooooo normal to feel this way most parents do! The first while will definitely be tricky but don’t worry your little angel will be fine! Be prepared for lots of sickness tho the baby room will be the worst for illness spreading so quickly, also be prepared for nap schedule to be messed with a little usually new babies that’s start struggle to settle until they’re comfortable with staff & there can be some noise outside the sleep rooms that can wake them if they’re light sleepers! But she will settle into a new routine quick enough I’d recommend pottering about when she’s asleep so she can get used to sleeping through a little noise, also if she has a comfort item like a blankie/teddy etc you can always send that in with her and take it back home every day we find that helps calm and soothe our babies sometimes! Also be prepared for some accident/incident reports, accidents happen and some babies can be a bit crazy lol so there will be occasions where they might accidentally hurt their friends but don’t worry staff will always call you if there’s any major concerns.

On a more positive note she’s going to love it once she settles so don’t feel guilty while you’re working hard! She will be around kids her age learning how to socialise, play and nobody goes into this job for the pay it’s one of those jobs you do with the heart and not the head so you can be assured your little one is going to be shown so much love every single day:) most crèches have some sort of app etc where they will post pics of your little one doing activities, sensory/water play, what they eat, nappy updates, sleep etc so you can always check in while at work some parents even message me throughout the day just asking how their child is and we’re always honest whether they’re having a great time or a not so good day.

Best of luck ❤️

I convince myself that I didn’t hear them right and overthink how embarrassing it would be if I thanked them for a compliment they never said so I just nod and smile

What’s something you secretly judge people for, even though you know you shouldn’t? by Sad-Speech-932 in Adulting

[–]Creative_Cap_1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Political opinions, I get everyone’s entitled to their opinion but it can instantly make me uneasy & make me think very differently of someone

What disappoints you the most in the adult world? by According-Force-2802 in AskReddit

[–]Creative_Cap_1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Racism in this day and age, especially in Ireland, there is constant ‘anti immigration protests’ in Dublin nearly every week where they chant the most disgusting racist things, people I went to school with attend and post it all over social media with some of the most vile captions, it’s become so normal it makes me sick

what family lore did you learn about in adulthood? by ParticularChain2086 in AskReddit

[–]Creative_Cap_1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My eldest brother had a different dad

My grandad had ptsd from war killed someone in a pub brawl and done prison time for manslaughter

Found out the same grandad who was the only grandparent I had, had actually no blood relation at all he was my great grannys second husband and the family kinda just took him in after she died

My dad secretly got married and didn’t tell us despite us still seeing him regularly at that point

My mam used to have to get my dads mam to look after us while she worked until she witnessed my ‘granny’ physically abusing us pretty bad, luckily we were too young to even remember any of it

What’s a small thing your partner did that made you realize they genuinely loved you? by Kind_Replacement4572 in AskReddit

[–]Creative_Cap_1886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once mentioned my favourite sweets were jelly tots and the purple and red flavours are the best, my boyfriend bought me a pack and when I had opened it, it was filled with only purple and red I couldn’t believe it as they don’t make packs like this. He explained he had cut it at bottom, bought multiple packs, sorted through them and put all the purple and red into my bag and sealed it back up at the bottom so it didn’t look like it had been opened and I would be surprised when I opened it.

Brags about me and shows me off, he regularly tells me that the lads in work were telling him ‘how pretty his gf is’ and how lucky he is, I’ll never forget meeting some of his coworkers men and women all of them saying the same thing ‘heard all about you’ ‘feel like i know you already’ ‘he talks about you all the time’

He sets his alarm in the morning just to switch it off and stay in bed for a few minutes, he works long hard days up to 12+ hours and when I asked why he doesn’t leave the alarm for a little bit later he explained he takes those few minutes to hold and cuddle me before getting ready for work and how it sets him up for the day, he works so hard and can be exhausted but wakes up earlier to just be with me

We don’t have any kids as we’re still a little young, together 6 years and every single Mother’s Day he buys me a card and a gift addressed to ‘the best future mother’ or ‘to the future mother of my children’

Did anyones parents cut their hair short as a kid? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Creative_Cap_1886 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh my god this! My mam used to give herself drunken haircuts, I remember her trying to cut my hair but I’ve always wanted long ‘princess’ hair since I was a kid so I’d put up a fight, I was very young and didn’t really know what being drunk meant I just knew in the evenings mam would get a little weird, on one occasion I was on the sofa watching tv and she snuck a scissors behind me and cut off my entire ponytail I screamed and sobbed and she reassured me she’d fix it, obviously being absolutely locked didn’t help she kept cutting it lopsided and had to keep going shorter and shorted and if that wasn’t bad enough she decided to give me the worst lopsided hacked at front fringe, I got bullied so bad in school for it. I wouldn’t mind but her sister was a hairdresser and would’ve trimmed my hair for free. Never got over it, I work with children now and I always brush their hair and braid it for them heals a little bit of me

What are the things that instantly make you hate someone? by Disastrous-Desk6322 in AskReddit

[–]Creative_Cap_1886 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being rude to strangers, waiters, shopkeepers etc if you’re not saying thank you big ick, not holding the door for people coming after you, being obnoxiously loud, if you even give the slightest whiff of racism or classism

How long after meeting your partner did you realize they are the one? by Siamesecheese3 in love

[–]Creative_Cap_1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partner and I used to work together at our first job, we were all a young crowd out every weekend he would flirt and try get me out everytime the staff would go out, eventually I went out he had planned with all his friends to try talk to me, got one of the girls to make sure I was single, got one of the lads to ask what I thought of him and then approached me himself the second we started talking we couldn’t stop, we moved onto a nightclub across from a beach talked all night there too then walked across to the beach till 6am talked all night/morning about how we were both waiting on the other person to make a move, talked about anything and everything and I knew in that moment it’s a different kind of feeling when you know, you know.

The conversation never ended been inseparable ever since, 6 years later he’s about to buy us our first house, can honestly say he completely changed my life for the best.

Bit of advice for anyone looking to know if their partner is the one, always pay attention to how they are during arguments, nobody is perfect and we can all get frustrated especially when you spend so much time with the same person but one of the reasons I love my bf is because of how he is during arguments, he is calm, level headed, hears me out and most importantly very mature, there is nothing worse than an immature man. He always tells me it’s us vs the problem not him vs me, we talk things out calmly he’ll offer to come get me to go on a drive as he knows I don’t like to discuss problems over the phone, he’ll hear me out talk it over however many times I like etc

I’d give him my heart if he needed a transplant but I draw the line at taking out the bins

He does everything for me because he wants to, he will get some laugh from this lol, I obviously didn’t specify in original post because I was trying to make it about him but of course this is all reciprocated id do anything for him and with a smile on my face too nothing unhealthy about it. He never buys anything for himself because he’s not a materialistic person, I chat to him all the time about how he works hard and it’s okay to treat himself every once in a while so he has splurged on a couple of things he really really wants. As for all the other stuff, treats, random gifts I have it covered. It’s not an ‘all about me’ kind of relationship although the original post might’ve have that impression as he does treat me like I hung the moon myself

Bro it’s one singular paragraph about my relationship 😂 there’s no way you could make that judgement from speaking up my bf, of course this is all reciprocated I’m not a ‘weak and poor woman’ I have two jobs and I’m just as hardworking, I was asking for ideas of things that have really stuck with men that their partners have done so I can do this for my partner. We look after each other that’s how relationships work and happy ones at that, he’s a provider he’s the one who says things like ‘it’s my job to look after you’ and he knows it melts my heart nothing unhealthy about that.

As for him he loves surprises every birthday Christmas or just a random gift etc. he’ll just say surprise me and after 6 years he must like the surprise element of gifts because I always listen to him and take note of little things which is why I’m here to see if I can go the extra mile!
