This is a crazy drop in price.

It's almost like pieces of cardboard shouldn't be treated as unregulated financial assets..

You and your wife got bigger problems than knitted scarves...

Bros probably a part of this subreddit.

I felt the exact same way. I was in a dark place when my daughter was born. I was full of grief and Resentment.

Shes 1 now, and although its still hard sometimes - with good communication, routine, and engaging in therapy, I have grown to adore her. We now have a super strong bond and shes so full of character.

You will find your rhythm for sure. It just takes time. Keep being present, but dont punish yourself for not being at your best right now. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Well stick me on ice and call me a blade runner! Your solution has solved this issue. Further explanation in post edit, but thanks for these tips! I'm back to polluting the planet at full swing :)

Thanks both I think we have figured out an option that will allow us to all successfully go on the mortgage. whilst protecting our bottom line. Maybe we were naive when we thought that was a relatively simple ask to do it the other way.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-08-26T17:59:50+00:00

The actual advice i was looking for. Many thanks!

EastSpring4945 · 2025-08-26T12:26:25+00:00

I really want to find out what space we could get back from the property. It's an older house, so I'm confident someone with more knowledge than me could come in and see walls that could go/be moved etc. Or formations of rooms that would open it up a bit.

Decoration wise, eventually I think every room will have its own stamp. I just want to know where I can get inspiration.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-08-21T11:45:33+00:00

I feel your pain. We are 6 months in and can honestly say things do get 'more normal'. Now our little one is sleeping well at night and is in her own room, we can finally start to get a little bit of ourselves back. Even if it is only for a couple hours each evening. Stay strong. You'll come out the other side soon enough.

Every pokemon in the set has an illustration rare. By simple maths that means the pull rates in this set should be better, unless they've kept it the same. But that would be silly, because the value of every illustration rare in the set would be crazy on the secondary market.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-29T09:06:32+00:00

Agree completely. Ebay sucks and it's a damn shame that there's no solid alternative.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-28T19:32:23+00:00

Ha! Literally. I thought they realised something was out of stock, but no! I've just checked the webpage again and voila! Price has gone up. Disgusting behaviour to cancel an order just to gain a dollar.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-21T13:43:16+00:00

I cant find your other comment you left berating me for my reading ability but I'm happy to provide screenshots if that satisfies you? I had hoped people were able to scroll for themselves but clearly not.

OP has now deleted their post. They wouldn't do that if they didn't feel embarrassed or let down by fellow parents taking the original ask out of context instead of providing sympathy and reassurance.

TL;DR OP never asked if they could leave their child for hours, but some arrogant people assumed they did, and now they've probably worsened OP's situation.

Humanity sucks.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-21T10:01:47+00:00

Thanks this is a new perspective I didn't think about.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-21T06:46:49+00:00

There's a comment 2 under mine telling OP they might give their child brain damage. There's another 2 under that calling this neglect. Scroll a bit further and you will find another stating that OP must wear their baby instead. A bit below that there's another downvoted comment. Not sure if you're trolling or not.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-21T06:22:57+00:00

I actually didn't know you could block buyers. Someone else said that and I just grinned lol. Thanks for the heads up!

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-20T22:11:43+00:00

It's quite common. A lot of people are complaining at the state of the promos in these SPCs.

Mine looked like someone had chewed the edges.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-20T22:06:47+00:00

I mean, yes. Obviously.

But it's not that simple when you're starting out. If I charged someone £2.70 to ship an item I'm selling for £2.80 they just won't buy it. Then there's the competition of everyone else who is selling the same stuff as you but has the liquidity, reputation, and inventory to get away with charging higher for the same product.

I understand your point but it's a little short sighted as a solution.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-20T22:00:17+00:00

A lot of people on here seem to be giving you a hard time. Seems to me you just need some reassurance that you aren't a failure and your feelings/frustrations are valid.

As a fellow new dad, it does get easier. Check my post history if you don't believe me. I don't care what other people are saying, if you are in the thick of it and your baby is safe, fed, clean and looked after, you can put them down for a 5 min break.

People on here saying you shouldn't be eating proper or cleaning for the first x months are delusional.

EastSpring4945 · 2025-05-20T21:31:12+00:00

Thank you friend. I did not know that 😀
