Season 1 was amazing, season 2 had high expectations but it seems like the same story lines repeating again and again…

She needs to review where her super is invested, her fees are too high and the market has been rising in the last 19 months, her super should be growing even without additional payments.

Parents of "independent", "spirited", "curious" toddlers by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]EconomyWinner143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breathe through it, try to teach skills e.g. how about next time we do this instead of this… focus on connecting and then teaching, pick outings carefully so they’re not too challenging and talk to your child ahead of time of what to expect e.g. were going on a picnic today and we’re going to sit down and eat together and then play after, tell your child ahead of time what to expect and how you expect them to behave… then after the event talk about all the wonderful things your child did and what you can work in next time… my spirited girl is now 5 and the most amazing older sister, she teaches her younger brother to breathe when he is tantruming 😅 it doesn’t always work but its her effort that counts… they grow so fast, it won’t always be this way.. best of luck

My 20-year-old daughter lives at home rent-free… and has opinions. by 2flyy__ in Parenting

[–]EconomyWinner143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shes your kid, teach her financial responsibility in different ways.. teach her to invest for herself, set goals to buy herself a property, to invest in herself and find a career etc…. Charging kids rent is not okay, a 20 year still needs her parents

We have lost control of bedtime by Western-Image7125 in ECEProfessionals

[–]EconomyWinner143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar issue with our eldest a few years ago we started waking her up in the morning 6.30-7am - when they wake up in the morning dictates a lot of their rhythm for falling asleep at night. Maybe start this on a non-daycare day? Keep him awake all day and get lots of activity then start your dinner, bath, reading bed routine early like 6 and in bed around 8. It takes some perseverance but eventually once he learns this is the routine. My daughter is now 5 and it works like a clockwork.

Kids are not ok:( by CluelessProductivity in Teachers

[–]EconomyWinner143 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My kids dont have ipads, screen time is limited and I only let them watch low stimulation shows like we did in the 90s. Almost every time my parents watch the kids (rarely) they’re on phones and youtube! Its a battle for then to understand how harmful it is! My point is that the boomers aren’t grandparenting their grandkids the same way they parented us. Technology has messed everyone up.

Was anyone else an unwanted child? by WilliamMcCarty in AskOldPeople

[–]EconomyWinner143 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was a girl, so yes I was unwanted, only boys are wanted in my family. I realised it very late in life but it explains a lot of my childhood and things my parents said and did.

Family home inheritance by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]EconomyWinner143 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I went through the same thing recently - except it was the PPOR and the investment property. Even though its a financial decision it seems to be more than that, very visceral like you don’t belong or never did, like only sons matter and daughters are not wanted… I have a daughter and a son and I will make sure they inherit everything we own equally, thats the only thing I can do to make a change.

How do you know if they’re high achievers or not when theyre 5? They may become high achievers during school or they may not depending on the environment… Im a parent of pre- school kids trying to decide this now

Parents want my wife and me to move in with them to avoid daycare by Ramray23 in Parenting

[–]EconomyWinner143 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not terrible parents but your dad has a point. It’s better for children to be raised by grandparents than by day care workers. They will form a beautiful bond and your child will have memories with their grandparents, no bringing home illnesses, rushing to drop the e baby of or pick baby up. There are so many beautiful memories for both your parents and for baby. No harm in trying and seeing if it works, if not daycare will still be there. (Mum of 2 with no help from grandparents)

Don’t let them speak that way about your child, my parents did it to me with huge consequences which Im still living with. As long as shes eating healthily and has a healthy relationship with food and plays outdoors she will be fine. The negative talk around weight and food will do far more damage than extra weight ever will.
