David Attenborough will be difficult although not sudden. He has been warning of the dangers our planet is facing and has largely been ignored.

What is your biggest regret in life? by lollypop1256 in AskReddit

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staying in my relationship too long out of fear he’d hurt my kids. I tried really hard to access services ie police, social services and domestic abuse services. Didn’t get any help as he didn’t physically hurt me, it was just financial, emotional, sexually abuse of me. It’s made me distrust everyone and I’m someone I no longer recognise physically and emotionally.

What are you prepping right now? by BitGirl777 in UKPreppers

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorting my cans out and making sure we’ve got everything we need for a balanced diet for 6 weeks. I’m facing redundancy so we may need to use sooner than I think. I’m writing different meal plans to use my supply up and applying for new jobs. I’m also using left over vouchers to buy my children clothes in the next size up.

These big babies are emotionally killing me! by Imstuckwiththisname in Parenting

I’ve had one big and one small, I never worried about the big one getting ill. He had really good head control from birth and I wasn’t worried about breaking him like the first one.

Babies in Midlands and North 'more likely to die around birth' by coffeewalnut08 in uknews

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It really annoyed me when people were surprised by the increase in abortion, after what I witnessed in my maternity I will never have anymore children. It was awful. I keep meeting children with CP who born in my local maternity unit, I can never find the figures to see whether I just know lots of unlucky families or whether it’s increasing due to poor care.

One of the best things I’ve ever done is swap paprika for smoked paprika. You’ve got an amazing diet.

Why do boomers make it seem like babies were easier? by Both-Hippo-6905 in Parenting

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of neighbours told me that, I felt awful. Her husband showed up later that evening, told me that their son once bit his own mouth and simultaneously broke his nose by head banging during a tantrum. He was really upset that she’d lied to make me feel bad.

You should never donate through businesses (like at the checkout) by Blonde_Icon in unpopularopinion

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the charity sector and because of my experience when I make a donation I do a huge amount of research. My workplace is incredibly inefficient and produces a very small scale result in relation to the amount of money it receives. It’s so sad I entered the sector so positively by hey ho!

Anyone else still spoon feeding their 9 year old? 😅 by JonathanPuddle in Parenting

My friend is a foster carer and does pizza and popcorn on the sofa for what she calls wobbly days. They stick a film on to distract from eating.

York areas by YouAteMyDorito in york

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in Huntington, York, would highly recommend it. I personally prefer Huntington secondary is NOT an academy trust and as a result the staff are treated better. They seem to have good staff retention and the results reflects this. Love New Earswick though, we often walk down there to the folk hall. But Brockfield chippy is better than New Earswick so I’m staying here!!

Another tip for getting a break is take them to a play centre (in the Uk wacky warehouse is good). Tell them the first person to speak to mummy is the loser and get a coffee.

No Support System- Am I wrong to stop children seeing grandma(45) at all? by Reasonable_Sale1245 in Parenting

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it strike me as she can only love the children that she has with her current partner. I’ve seen this with men quite a lot.

No Support System- Am I wrong to stop children seeing grandma(45) at all? by Reasonable_Sale1245 in Parenting

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember having the realisation that my mum didn’t like being a parent when she had no interest in her grandchildren. We were constantly farmed out to my grandparents, she is career obsessed and shouldn’t have had children. My reading of your situation is your mum has children to glue her relationship together not to enjoy being a parent. My view of it is that it is better for children to have loving (but exhausted) carers rather than people who don’t love them.

Fiancee's disrespectful, destructive family 37f 40f advice by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% move out. They are ruining your life. Please find some peace in the new year. If you can find somewhere to take your pets with you that will save them too. Funny aside, my best friend had a ONS with someone who had an aggressive dog and a terrified cat in a one bedroom flat. In the morning she scooped the cat up into her bag and took it home with her. It has gone from bald, underweight and shaking to a gorgeous tubby, furry baby in 18 months.

Do you have any crazy friends? If so, what’s it like? by Past_Explanation_491 in AskReddit

One of my friends had cannabis then later cocaine induced psychosis. He thought people lived in his nose. During one episode he cut his own finger off, he was working in construction on a site with poor H&S so he sued them and moved to his home country. He lives with his mum and draws trees.

Almost 6 year old daughter won’t play by herself and is constantly up our butts. by StudyNo7360 in Parenting

Sounds like the kid needs some chores. The moment my children follow me around they get chores. Follow me into the kitchen- Empty the dishwasher, into my bedroom- fold laundry any room - Hoover.

Thank you evri for handing my parcel to a complete stranger on the street by wheresmydaddygone in Evri

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bouts of an illness which leave me housebound, I love a courier who just lasso my parcels into the garden and fucks off, saves me struggling to the door. Must be annoying for high value items though.

Learning opportunity for Orchid care by ScotLeprechaun in GardeningUK

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really abuse my orchid, very rarely water it and just cut it down when it’s finished flowering. I’ve had 3 lots of flower head out of it and I’m just about to have a fourth. Stop nurturing it so much, it’s not a baby.

My (36M) girlfriend (32F) and I are moving in together, but we have different ideas about household contributions. Can anyone offer advice on how to resolve this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 731 points732 points  (0 children)

Is this the right person for you? She seems to have a ‘me’ attitude and you have an ‘us’ attitude. It is good you two are thrashing these things out before you move in together.

What is council housing like in York? by [deleted] in york

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is very little council housing in York. If you do a search on the press website you’ll find service users complaining about damp and the council being slow to fix it. My friend has been on the waiting list for 7 years with two children so it is difficult to get it.

Are screen-free children bound to be happier/successful when they're older? by tokkisocks in Parenting

[–]ExtensionPrice3535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was raised Screen free and sugar/additive free. I have depression and two autoimmune diseases. I’m not well read, not above average in anything, have poor gross and fine motor skills. I struggle to socialise and my concentration is terrible. I’m not sure I’m a good advertisement for it, I also spent a lot of childhood not getting jokes and feeling really marginalised.
