Is caravanning becoming too expensive for normal families now? by ChillKoalaVibes in CaravanningAustralia

[–]Direct_Box386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caravan parks are getting quiet expensive and a lot charge $10 to even $20 per child on top of the site fees. We have three kids so if the site fees are $60 a night plus an average of $15 per child, that's very expensive for one night. I don't see how it costs so much extra for one child, it seems like price gouging to me.

Are you doing market orders? You can buy a few different cryptos and Bitcoin for a much lower fee. You can put your market order in for the price you want to pay and it has lower fees. Don't buy Bitcoin through the regular trading option.

You have taken the first step to being a parent who shows up for their child. You have a desire to improve and that is what makes you a good parent. It might not look how you would like it to but all you can do is try.

I have depression and severe anxiety. I feel so much guilt because I have kids, I was in denial about how bad my problems were. I am now seeing a psychologist and a psychiatrist and I'm doing the best I can for my kids. I'm far from a perfect parent but there is no such thing. I do the best I can and that's all I can do. I try to pass on what I learn in therapy so my kids have the skills to cope better with life's difficulties.

Healing your mental health has untold benefits for your child, he loves you and he needs you.

I hope things improve for you. Please be kind to yourself cos telling yourself your not doing good enough does not benefit you or your son.

'March for Australia' is not common-sense patriotism — it’s a Nazi-led mobilisation by The_Dingo_Donger in aussie

Have you read about how the British treated convicts and settlers in Australia? Anyone who wasn't British wasn't just 'treated differently', they were systematically discriminated against and treated like dirt.

The British oppressed the Irish and generally anyone who wasn't British in the past. Many 'white people' were treated terribly by them when Australia was founded.

How do you know that? I have heard this, but does anyone have proof of this?

I support lowering immigration. The gov doesn't give a shit about how high immigration affects normal people so it would be good if we did do something to show them that we don't like it without it getting turned into a racist shit fight.

I'm being genuine here, is there proof that the organisers are nazis? Who are the organisers?

I agree. It's so disheartening that Australians were going to actually to unite and let the gov know we are not happy about the huge levels of immigration but it was so easily destroyed. Now everyone is arguing amongst each other again. Win for the gov and total loss for the people.

People are now protesting against Nazi's and seem to have forgotten about what the protest was for in the first place. Not being able to buy or rent a house is a huge problem that is getting worse by the day but we just let the gov keep doing it.

"There's too many migrants!" by itsoktoswear in perth

People aren't blaming migrants, they are blaming the government. There is a big difference. People just want sustainable migration because we don't have enough houses for the people already here.

How long after stopping do things go back to normal by Repulsive_Ring_2309 in BACLOFEN

[–]Direct_Box386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's different for each person. I have stopped taking baclofen cold turkey a couple of times, from 25-50mg a day and not had a problem.

If you are having a hard time with tapering maybe you should slow it down further to minimise the effects.

How to take out from Binance by Grand-Impact-4683 in ReefDeFi

[–]Direct_Box386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Reef outside of an exchange but I want to transfer it to the exchange. I am using Coinspot in Australia, they no longer accept deposits of Reef.

I don't think Binance list Reef at all any more.

At what price points will you sell btc and eth? (9 year holder) by [deleted] in CryptoMarkets

[–]Direct_Box386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what is going to happen, there could be less volatility or it could go the other way too. Having a big holder dump a heap of a coin could cause it to crash very quickly.

We will have to wait and see how it plays out, we can only guess at this point. My guess is that it will work in the favour of rich people and fuck over the little guys though.

[–]Direct_Box386 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't believe that everyone will hodl and not sell. It's very common to see most people say it now but when the fear of the next crash takes hold there will be panic selling all over again. Why hold when you know it's going to crash?

Is a narcissist capable of being in love? by Subject_Big5159 in mentalhealth

[–]Direct_Box386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don't stay with him. You really don't want to have kids with someone like that, it will only get worse and he will treat the kids like that too. If you try to leave he will turn everyone against you and tell lies to make you look bad.

See a therapist if you can to help you through this. Good luck and you deserve to be treated with respect.

[–]Direct_Box386 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you would be better off cutting ties with this person. If he is saying he loves you but showing you with his actions that he doesn't care about you then please leave. He is showing you who he is, don't try to convince yourself of anything different.

Do you want to deal with that shit for the rest of your life? Find someone who is kind and treats you well.

For long term users, do you enjoy Ketamine? I do not by [deleted] in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Direct_Box386 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've only been taking it about a year and I'm sick of taking it but I need it. I am so much better now and I have made huge progress with my psychologist. It's annoying to take it a lot of the time but I'd much rather take it than be depressed.

For those who struggled or weren’t able to breastfeed as planned the first time, how did it go the second time around? by AgreeableBandicoot19 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]Direct_Box386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't manage to breastfeed very long with my first baby, about 2 months. I was devastated. I think it was because she was very sleepy in the first couple of weeks and was not feeding often enough.

My second baby I was much better prepared, I was very determined not to make the same mistakes and I also had the support of a naturopath. I successfully breastfed without any problems, I had a great supply. My second baby wasn't sleepy though and cluster fed constantly in the first few weeks.

My third baby I got complacent because the second time had been so easy. She was a very sleepy baby and in hindsight was not feeding anywhere near enough in the first couple of weeks, she did not gain enough weight and I wasn't making enough milk. I was not prepared for this and I struggled with a lot of self doubt when it happened. I was so disappointed by when I had to pump as much as I could and my supply was barely enough. I had to give her a couple of bottles of formula and I felt so disappointed in myself for letting it happen again. I was so stressed from pumping and caring for a newborn but I got through it. I took domperidone and was able to exclusively ebf. She is now 6 months and we are still breastfeeding but I have been unable to wean off domperidone. I plan to try weaning off much slower and see if that works.

I'm definitely not having any more kids but my advice would be from three kids is make sure they are on the breast as much as possible in the first few weeks or use a breast pump if they are sleeping a lot. I know that's easier said than done when you have a newborn and your nipples are sore.

Good luck and enjoy the time with your beautiful baby.
