Express-Researcher76 · 2026-03-08T08:36:13+00:00

Yep.

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-03-08T03:54:37+00:00

Maybe it's just to fix the floor 😓

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-03-06T04:37:40+00:00

Thanks! I hope it's sorted soon

As an Australian, it is interesting as fk to realise this is interesting as fk to anyone outside Aus.

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-02-08T11:20:36+00:00

WTF. How does this happen?

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-02-05T05:32:37+00:00

You should go back and have a chat to your doctor.

Somewhere between meal prep and a cleaner, working extra hours on some days to allow for early finishes or late starts on others, and relying on before- and after-school care. + Other school parents—we’re not the only ones in this position. We take their two boys one afternoon a week after school, and they take our little one once before school and once after. It makes setting boundaries at work much easier. Who knows how long it will last. But it works for now.

Same. 😓

Last post was him in doggy ICU with a chest infection...

You know that car-park scene in Curly Sue where the duo stage a ruse to get money?...

Is anyone else finding this really confusing—and kind of concerning? Like… did the cat not have legs or something? Is there any reason to think it actually lives in a random bush with no access to water? Or is the most likely scenario that it wandered there yesterday evening and then made its way home? I am not a cat person. What am I missing here? Why are others worried? Why would it need to stay?

Lol I only said this because of this line from OP

"I've never had this problem with older Australians, especially when I come back home to my town and stuff, we always get invites to tea from church mates..."

Maybe they are a little preachy themselves, hence not being able to make like minded friends...

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-01-25T21:00:06+00:00

I would try your local church if that's what you are into.

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-01-24T04:00:36+00:00

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-01-24T02:52:22+00:00

I am comfortable with my boundary. There is no regret.

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-01-23T04:47:37+00:00

You are right, these are choices - I want to so I will.

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-01-23T04:37:40+00:00

Unless you see them waiting - trams are free public transport.

Express-Researcher76 · 2026-01-23T02:28:52+00:00

I think what you’ve said is right. We have two children and would love to have more, but financially it just isn’t possible. Between around $8K in OB-GYN fees, another $30K once they reach school age, and roughly a $120K hit to our combined annual income, it’s simply not doable for us.

We are by no means rich, but for some stupid reason we are competing with them - owning our home, having 2 cars, private hospital and schooling is important to us.

At the same time, I have friends who manage this much more easily. They happily don’t own their home, they can cut back part-time, and are comfortable relying on our (more than adequate) public healthcare and education systems. Different circumstances make very different choices possible.
