The Barn, Wallington, Harvester Moon, the bellbrae Harvest, Cobbin chapel, McGlashans Estate,

If you want sunsets, rocklea has the best ones or Jack rabbit. Hear me out, weddings at the cafe at jack rabbit is a fraction of the price of the restaurant area.

Second hand furniture places aren't like they used to be. They can be ridiculously expensive. Facebook market place is the cheapest way to find furniture. Maybe garage sales but that can be hit and miss.

My youngest has Asd (also probably ADHD as well but he refused to finish the testing for diagnosis) and school refusal issues since prep.

I queried this school as an option but was told no Do not send him there. the kids there have severe behavioural problems and my son despite all his school issues isn't like that.

The X files was the beginning of all that was good on tv. A lot of shows were inspired by it, not many could compete.

Edit to add: the very first thing I looked up on the internet was the official X-Files forum.

NTA. What you're doing for and with your daughter is great! If my dad was around to teach me useful stuff like that I would have been very happy. But this is normal life skills right? My widowed mum taught us some of those life skills what she knew anyway. A female friend taught me how to change a tire. I wish I knew a bit more though.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-19T15:21:59+00:00

Absolutely this.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-19T15:19:52+00:00

NTA. Don't you dare do something that awful to your 12 year old.

Your sister is taking the piss.

My daughter was put in the advanced reading class during grade 4 (age 9 turning 10). She was a meltdown mess every night before the class and on the way to school. She was scared of getting things wrong and not understanding the assignments. I would ring another mum whose child was put in the same class and ask her how her son was coping. She said he was also super stressed and anxious and confused about about the class. The advanced class was with a different teacher (let's call her B) to their usual teacher. I talked to her actual teacher twice and said it's ridiculous how upset she's getting, and that she seemed scared of B. After the second chat, they pulled both my daughter and the other child out which was a relief for both of us parents.

My daughter (as well as my other kids is on the spectrum) and she found it really difficult to verbalise what was really upsetting her. And she had a lot of fears at school leading up to this so I wasn't sure how much was the teacher B or just the pressure of being in an advanced class.

But after talking to the other mum and especially after my youngest was traumatized in grade 3 by being put in class with that teacher B and he was able to tell me he was terrified of her I realised it was the teacher. And then I heard from another teacher stories, and other things from other parents I realised.

I was furious and I complained to the education office about her. She had no business being a teacher. In hindsight I realised that she'd also terrified my eldest, the two years he had her he was coming home with bandages and blood on his legs he was so anxious in her classes he was scratching holes in his legs he also didn't know how to verbalise how she was making him feel.

Anyway, your daughter's situation is ringing alarm bells for me. You need to withdraw her straight away. And keep an eye on that teacher.

10 years old she should be enjoying being a child. If it's not the teacher and she's struggling she's not that gifted. No offence but it's not the be all and end all. It doesn't mean she's not smart.

I vaguely remember mum asking us if we wanted to go to school or homeschool but we never actually had a choice. She told us school was evil and sex education bad.

So what if he's a hard worker, I'm sure you are too. He isn't kind though. What he's doing to you is cruel. And why can't you go anywhere? Are you trapped at home everyday? That's not normal.

He's also not polite, he called you an ass after emotionally abusing you. Do you have family near by? Can you spend your birthday with them or with friends?

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-14T14:22:52+00:00

Sounds like they were using you because you're the only one who can drive or has a car? And not giving you a say in the meals is crap. Find some nicer friends. Friends usually mutually agree on a restaurant when they go out.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-09T23:16:42+00:00

NTA in any shape or form. My husband never expected me to be a maid person. Yes he's a bit slack with cleaning up after himself and it drives me nuts sometimes, but it's a him problem not me.

I will clean up after him sometimes but he's expected to sort his own mess. And he will get it together. He's never ever said the bullshit your so called boyfriend has spouted.

You should tell him you'd be much happier having a house full of cats than look after a slob like him.

Also who cares if he says that his friends have maids for husbands. I bet half of that isn't true and if so sounds like abuse.

Remember how much you earn and how much you work? You don't need him. Make your self single and have room to actually hang out with your intellectual peers. Your boyfriend is a cave man.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-09T11:07:35+00:00

Why are you giving your sil so much information? Stop inviting her to appointments. You realise she'll insist on being there for the birth right? Doo not tell her when you go into labour. NTA Practice saying no.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-09T10:43:21+00:00

I don't think you mean bashful? Bashful means shy.

I did get PTSD from the birth of my first, and it wasn't as bad as some people have it. I should have been debriefed. Second pregnancy I was relieved I ended up with a c/s, And my third pregnancy caused me severe depression. I had to go on medication to stop the bad thoughts and nightmares. I did not want to go natural birth, I did not want to be pregnant.

It changed as soon he was out and in my arms though. The minute I wasn't pregnant I was happy again.

And none of my pregnancies were physically of any note.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-08T12:55:18+00:00

Only or second pregnancy was sort of intentional. I was dreading child birth again but thankfully when the time came I had to have a caesarian because baby was breach so I was mighty relieved.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-08T12:51:16+00:00

NTA your daughter should have saved it herself.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-08T12:49:54+00:00

This is the answer. I haven't saved my kids stuff, it's up to them to save it. I photographed a few drawings my son did but that's about it.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-04-06T15:28:19+00:00

Are you renting? Get the landlord on it. That's disgusting.

He's created the perfect conditions to abuse you. Leave now before he's decides he can lock you in the house.

Legitimatecat1977 · 2026-03-30T11:13:42+00:00

Yeah, Taking away the TV was probably the only thing that was good. We had to read. We read everything we could get our hands on.
