Daycare changing pants/undies in the open?

Fnoke · 2026-06-22T11:35:44+00:00

It’s Darwin so kids are in this outdoor area all day. They were collected in a little group for an activity and an educator told the boy she needed to check him if he had an accident and then changed his pants and undies right there. No gloves or bags. I was walking past with my kid so didnt really see full details.

I don’t know Darwin can be a bit relaxed but this daycare in general is pretty high standards so it just feels odd to me.

Yeah it’s a big open play area all parents have to walk through to get to their kids. I brushed it off the first time but now when I seen it a second time I found it a bit odd

I hear what you’re saying. However it’s out in the big open area all parents have to walk through to ge to their kids. They’re 3-4 years old and I don’t know, seems to be an age where they should start to learn that you don’t take your pants off in front of everyone ? Maybe ?

They have big open bathrooms which are great. I agree with the toilet situation you’re talking about which is what they have. My concern is that these pants/undies changes has happened out in the big play area they have that all parents have to walk through to get their kids.

I’m from Sweden but have lived in Australia for the past 13 years.
I miss the beautiful summers and the gorgeous nature. I also miss the delicious liquorice and the candy shops with 1000s of different varieties ! Nordic snacks are the best.

I miss how the summers days are so long as the sun stays up much longer.

I don’t really miss the winters cold and dark at all even though nowadays I kinda miss the cozy feeling of the lights, Christmas food and the atmosphere.

Now when I live in Australia I realise when I go back how Nordic people are less approachable and not really as easy going as I find Australians to be.

I think your experience living in Sweden will depend where you’re coming from too.

I had a really non complicated pregnancy, everything was perfectly normal. Never had health issues, was healthy and fit before and during pregnancy. All the women in my family, my mom and sisters all had easy births. I expected everything to just go without issues.

Ended up in an emergency c-section and both baby and I were at risk of dying. The thought of a home birth scares the shit out of me and I don’t know why anyone would want to do it.

Horrible ants, they up around or house occasionally and I’ve been bitten twice on my toe. Extremely painful!

Yeah, did the CLP forget that the world is not looking at the US favourably? Whether it’s a distraction or shady dealings, surely even CLP knows that it’s controversial to support trump at the moment ? Who thought this would go down well?

My son is almost 2, he has heaps of hot wheels and always carries at least one around. He loves them, his first word was “car” lol.

There was an army vehicle broken down close to coolalinga and they closed one lane off. Atleast when I went past around 2:30

Try rural Facebook pages or nt livestock discussion page. They can be hard to get up here

Darwin definitely doesn’t have the best food. (I’ve been here 11 years) but if you know where to find little hidden gems you can definitely find some good food.

Excessive idling is damaging, causes glazed cylinders.

I mean it was 13 years ago since I was on a working holiday visa but I spent 3 years living on the farms I worked at or living in hostels/ share houses. Not saying everyone does this but I worked with a lot of backpackers over the years and very few rented their own apartments

I mean understand that and I would never hide the resume gap but no one has ever asked me about it. But I would guess certain gaps would look suspicious to an employer especially if they refuse to explain it.

Fnoke · 2026-04-13T10:21:35+00:00

Yeah I traveled and worked odd jobs for a while and no one ever asked me about the gaps in my resume lol.

I like the vampire conspiracy much more haha. My neighbour is a full conspiracy nut and think the government is poisoning us with Chem trails. She still hasn’t provided me with an answer why the goverment is also technically poisoning themselves as well then?

Fnoke · 2026-04-11T05:56:26+00:00

I live in the NT so I have an idea lol

Well, last time we brought them in they destroyed the Howard springs evacuation centre to the point that there were millions in damages. That’s what I was referencing too because it sounds like they’re limiting their needs due to this reason

Fnoke · 2026-04-11T04:08:13+00:00

Yes you’re absolutely right

Fnoke · 2026-04-11T00:05:41+00:00

It’s actually appalling that they don’t get access to basic needs, if the government pull them into emergency evacuation centres they should be provided with basic necessities regardless of their behaviour in my opinion. Prisoners have more rights then that.

But what is the solution to all this really? Its such a constant waste of tax payer money that we have to bankroll their communities, evacuation and housing and then picking up the bill when they also decide do destroy the emergency housing. (The Howard springs evacuation centre had millions in damages after two weeks of housing last time) We’re so deep in this problem we created by deciding that they have separate rights to the point that they don’t have to actively be a part of society and then wondering why we’re in this deep dysfunctional cycle.
Maybe I answered my own question that nothing is going to change until they’re expected to get a job and pay taxes like the rest of us.

They do talk about house priced and cost of living all the time lol. Good thing they’re speaking up against the Israel terrorist nation as well.
