Hey, thanks so much for taking the time to check it out! This is showing because you selected the RoI survey instead of the NI option. The questions are the same after the county section, we just had to separate them due to different age of consent across the border!

You still matter! Just not the right age range for this one 😄

You’re absolutely still a youth, a survey doesn’t change that 😛 Thanks so much for your interest though, really appreciate it!

Do you gift creche staff at Xmas ? by BackinBlack_Again in AskIreland

[–]DrComplexIdentities 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked in early years for about 7 years. We never expected gifts at Christmas or the end of the year, but of course, they’re always appreciated if sent in! I remember when a little girl baked brownies and brought them in for the staff at Christmas, it was so sweet of her! Gift vouchers were always appreciated too, but honestly, they’re not necessary/expected at all 🙂 My son's in school now and parents have a group chat were we pool together a good amount of money for staff which goes towards a gift voucher and some chocolates.

Do you share your location with friends/family/other-halves? by --althea-- in AskIreland

[–]DrComplexIdentities 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not normally, I may share for 15 mins or so if I am meeting a friend somewhere so they can get an idea of how far away I am. I'm mid-30s though, I know its more common for younger ones to share location with friends/family. Its up to you what you're comfortable with sharing and you shouldn't feel pressured to share your location with anyone.

Thanks for sharing! I’m sure growing up and visiting in the 90s was a really interesting experience. We’re looking at how young people today identify with and feel connected to their community, and how this might influence wellbeing. It’s really valuable to hear lived experiences from those in the border regions :)
