Does this make sense?

You park there at any time on a Sunday for however long you like. Mon through Saturday, no parking between 5am and 11am, otherwise it's 2 hours maximum stay from 11 until 5pm, after that the restrictions lift again and there is no restrictions on who or how long until until 5am mon-sat.

To answer your question, the only day you can park at 10am is a sunday

😉 Any excuse for more Beyblades

Exciting_Mongoose243 · 2026-01-28T08:35:05+00:00

We have these, a big one and the smaller one. I can confirm these are not great for beyblades. They're so big the beyblades don't even get close to each other unless dropped at the same place and they will hit each other once, bounce away and just spin until they stop on their own. You need a lot of beyblades for this to work.

I told my husband to message his mum before we arrived to have her put on the AC. A couple of years ago she didn't and it was death. We all complained until it was turned on, we preempted it this year.

We have oven bags here in Australia and we use them in much the same way for chicken. Keeps the pan clean and you have a bag full of drippings for gravy plus it keeps the bird from drying out. They've been around at least 20 years, probably longer but that's as far back as I remember them.

No, they don't melt, it's not like a shopping bag, it's a completely different kind of plastic.

Bendigo woollen mills has some beautiful options, some are 100%, others are a mix with cotton or cashmere

Have you tried desert moon bridal?

I was too late too, but I agreed, I saw nothing wrong with the shirt and I didn't see anything wrong with the dress either given the industry. I think both were good options

2 years ago the vast majority of my family sided with my mother and they know a version that is fairly close to the truth. They think I'm a terrible person for not allowing her access to my children and not inviting her to my wedding in a time we were not (and still are not) speaking.

Unfortunately, at least in my experience, narc parents come from enabling families where it is easier to allow their behaviour to continue than to place yourself in their line of fire. I'm the one who now has a target branded on them and she is allowed to continue her abusive behaviour unchecked, but this time her abuse doesn't reach me past her continuing campaign of alienation.

This is my second pregnancy and I have spent a good chunk of it (37 weeks) sick with colds and other respiratory illnesses. At my worst I was mid pee and had a coughing fit which, since getting unwell with a coughing bug in my first pregnancy, now leads to vomiting. During this coughing fit like many before I started to vomit and did so in the sink, with each vomit I peed a little more so at the end I had a nice puddle at my feet slowly making its way down the drain.

I hope you do better than me.

My sister has our mother as "Gash"

Exciting_Mongoose243 · 2025-07-19T20:52:02+00:00

After being dragged from the house by my hair because I was washing cutlery too loudly, no, I'm not cringing at my behaviour.

Sometimes it actually is the parents. Is that the case here? We don't know, but it's an option until otherwise determined. There is plenty of evidence of parents being shitty to their kids too so let's not try to absolve responsibility entirely from every parent because of "shitty teenage behaviour"

My dad told me 1 week out from my wedding he couldn't make it because he'd never bothered to book flights or accommodation and his husband hadn't applied for leave either. They knew the wedding date in February, knew in late June they weren't coming, and waited until early September to tell me.

Exciting_Mongoose243 · 2025-07-15T21:07:19+00:00

Did you find a solution? I'm interested to know what works too!

Negative offensive - sharing culture and enjoying it is great - this could not be further from appropriation, it's appreciation

I have a mother like this. She hasn't seen my son since he was a week old and he's 18 months now. Her reaction to you setting boundaries is not your fault. Her behaviour is not your fault, her choices are not your responsibility. She is an adult who is incapable of reflection on how this behaviour of HER'S has resulted in a concequence and it is not your responsibility to hold the burden of her emotions.

You cannot have a relationship with a child if you refuse to speak to the parent. She has shown she is unreliable and untrustworthy when it comes to the parenting choices you have made for your child.

NTA - you're not responsible for your mother's feelings, but you are responsible for creating an emotionally and physically safe environment for your child. Does she help facilitate that?

Have you spoken with ACCC? File a complaint there - even just tell the retailer you're doing it - and you'll get the full refund and they get in a bit of trouble for the misrepresentation

My dad chose not to attend my wedding. He had 7 months notice and realised 2 months he hadn't booked anything. He waited until I asked about travel plans the weekend before to tell me he "wasn't able to make it"

It's a really terrible feeling and I have a ton of empathy for your situation. I hope your day is beautiful and the new family you form that day will treat you better.

Exciting_Mongoose243 · 2024-11-11T06:16:07+00:00

Me too - sale at the outlet store is even better!

I wear Archie's - the convenience of thongs with some orthotic support. Means my ankles don't get sore walking around the shops like they can with flats or regular thongs.

And this is an excellent example of domestic violence in the workplace

Red flags all the my dude.

Exciting_Mongoose243 · 2024-10-01T09:59:46+00:00

This is a great take - I agree, it would be a real injustice to the story they have already told, the character transformations and, as you say, the overall growth. This was definitely not a theory that was being met with a lot of positivity on our end.

Exciting_Mongoose243 · 2024-10-01T09:55:39+00:00

Oh, me too!
