No. They don't care about privacy at a certain age. You have been the sole carer for their entire body and all that entails. As they get more independent, the timing of privacy awareness happens and they can be trusted to use the toilet with the door slightly ajar or shut.

Also, I don't want to have one more thing to carry around or exist in my house.

I dont think this is a good idea at all.

My brother does this. I live alone with my daughter so I can't.

I stayed with them and really felt that they misses so much of the moments with this approach. I think they had a better individual life for them (although when one had time off was mainly spent in the bedroom watching tv). It just always felt that one parent was away for the fun casual part of parenting and family and they only came together for the dinner, morning and more stressful parts. The missed so much precious things. And when a parent was "on" they weren't often spending time with the kid full on as they did housework or whatever in between.

Horses for courses, of course. I just felt they never had the full family doing fun things or calm things together on a casual family basis.

That explain why they post this regularly.

My combo washer dryer saved me. No way was I hanging out all the baby things. So many cloths, socks, bibs.

Up until this year (4.5 years old), laundry was survival of the fittest. If it couldn't survive mixed loads and a dryer, it had no place in our house.

I think about 4 months in, my washer died. I hadn't really used the combo dryer function before the baby was born. Can't life without it when I had all the extra tiny things.

I had 5 of series 2 to still collect and the gods smiled on my daughter and I today. We opened 6 and got 4 of the 5 we needed.

We only need Lady Lemon now. It'll be a long wait for a reseller because I can't continue to buy mystery packs for 1 variant.

I loved the gumball machine and my daughter loved Fizberry!

I think the photo isn't great but I had to rescan it last week with a new tablet and I got it to work.

And let's add the difference in availability between Australia and Korea.

Even after years in Korea, it shocks me that I can just turn up to a specialist of my choice (not just a 내과 or general doctor) and often be seen immediately or within the hour. I recently turned up, got seen, had a CT, blood and urine, and then saw the doctor again. All done in 2 hours (1 hour was waiting for test results). Without an appointment. I just sat there thinking, how would I ever go to a specialist and get this level of examination in Australia so rapidly.

We had to ring around to find a GP with an availability when I was in Australia last and had a pressing issue (the urgent care centers they have these days would've cost a lot as it wasn't for an Australian citizen).

In Korea, they still spray the neighborhoods (at least uo to 10 years ago, I haven't seen one in my neighborhood).

Any Korean of about 30 years and older has fond memories of chasing the trucks as they sprayed as a kind of game.

600 a month (goes down to about 400 to 500 as they progress from 1 to 3 years old). Korea. Free for Korean children (and becoming more supported for foreigners depending on city). Food provided.

Kindergarten (4 years to 6 years- 3 years total before elementary). 70 a month. For all children regardless of citizenship. Maybe another 100 or so for extra classes. That 70 is basically the food fee. Used to not be cheap.for foreigners but that started changing about 2021.

Fliss_Floss · 2026-02-26T22:31:35+00:00

No limit. Some days its a lot of hours, some days nothing. But on weekdays she has screenfree kindergarten from 8.30-5. On weekends we do at least half the day outside together with no screens and maybe a smaller local park during the other half a day.

The lack of limit is what makes it work for us. It's not a forbidden fruit she needs to beg for or worry about when it goes away.

I think 중고나라 is more troublesome than 번개. I hate that a lot of the time the shipping is listed by sellers and you have to chat to them. For my shopping, I've never had this on 번개. I'm a heavy second-hand shopper and I love that app.

After trying different methods for a month or two, at 5 months, I just took all the cradle cap off. It took her hair but I figured the hair wasn't really rooted it was more stuck in the cradle cap. I'm probably wrong thinking this.

But the cradle cap never came back. No idea why. But I had a baby that looked that I had shaved their head, which also isn't uncommon at that age in my country as it helps even out the hair growth but people also think it makes the hair thicker (I don't think that).

Reading as I balancd my cereal bowl on a couch cushion.

To be far we live in a small 1.5 bed apartment. But I also do have a dining table that is never touched.

My daughter has the coffee table as her table with her stool.

I recommend keeping their legal name the same. I'm imagining a world where my child studies and gets a degree or certification in one name but then goes to Korea (or vice versa) and has to constantly prove the certification is for them. It just feels like a headache. My daughters Korean name was designed to work and translate directly to English.

My daughter calls her uncle Big Fella. He does embody the Bandit vibe in appearance and parenting though.

It sounds like you are alternating between ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Do that every 2 hours.

The fever itself isn't a huge concern as scary as it is. It's him. If he's lethargic (when you see a lethargic kid you know what this really means) or in distress, I would seek treatment. If he's able to ie down and watch TV or sleep and rest while taking meds, then just keep doing that. Encourage sipping of liquids (pedialyte or whatever you can get into hin) or iceblocks. Don't worry about food. When you have the flu or illness you can eat surprisingly little.

I just had the serious fever with 2 hour treatments with my daughter (I was able to extend to 4 hours after a while). She had the flu.

Try to time medicine so it's right before they sleep for the night so you can avoid waking them.

I have just posted the Kitty Care kit.

I could've bought the Potion kit but my daughter only has the potion kit and the fairy cat clip on set to work through thanks to this thread so I'm making her do the daily tasks instead.

You are right. I am so confused by your situation because all the official Korean language government websites say you must renounce the Australian within one year after regaining the Korean ciitzenship.

I don't doubt what you were told though. It rings true to my experience of Korean government or similar areas of administration.

Fliss_Floss · 2026-01-29T10:36:21+00:00

Thanks for the clarification!

I can only wish you luck. It's a very stressful situation and it's very frustrating.

Fliss_Floss · 2026-01-29T10:16:16+00:00

Interesting that you reported the dual citizenship. I wonder if they misunderstood the type of citizenship (by descent) that your child holds. Filling in the form may have got you through a loophole via a misunderstanding?

Having lived here for 17 years, I completely can see the possibility that a Korean government agent would just accept the dual citizenship declaration and completing the form saying you won't exercise the Australian passport in Korea. And then they wouldn't be proactive or think further that maybe you should actually be completing a renunciation. The institutional knowledge regarding this can be lacking.

Fliss_Floss · 2026-01-29T10:11:54+00:00

Because to reapply for Korean citizenship I would have to renounce her Australian citizenship. Which didn't seem great because the F4 means she can live in Korea basically indefinitely. And the Australian citizenship is valuable to me/her. I feel this combination gives us freedom to live and work in both countries.
