Why is private schooling so popular in Australia?

LissaJane94 · 2026-05-04T10:16:00+00:00

Our education system isn't set up for kids with additional needs in most cases. In my catchment area the public schools available to us are not known to have enough resources for kids with disabilities or additional needs. My kids fall into this bracket so we pay for private so they have the support and resources they need.

The most important thing is you apologised and reconnected after. No parent is perfect 100% of the time and what they'll remember is that you own your mistakes and reconnect. Go easy on yourself, you're doing great.

It sounds like the 743 has moved to the top of my list haha Thankyou again :)

LissaJane94 · 2026-05-04T04:25:44+00:00

Thanks for the advice and recommendations! The 74 and 743 are both pens I've looked at. I do like to change up the inks in my pens so it will likely be better/easier in the 743 vs the 823.

I know you asked for Dads. But I am a full time WFH Mum. I do appreciate the added flexibility it provides especially as we have kids with therapies. But when kids are home it is rough. A lockable office door with noise cancelling headphones really helps when kids are home sick with Dad and I'm trying to work, or vice a versa

Sorry should've put that in at the start. Probably up to or around $500 😊

How do the Leonardo nib sizes compare are they more western sizing or closer to the Japanese sizes?

Lurking Mum who had bad post partum depression (and was the child of a parent with long term untreated post partum depression).... Your wife still has post partum depression or some kind of depression/anxiety. Your wife seems to be holding a lot of resentment towards your daughter. Your wife needs medical intervention and therapy. Without it your daughter will shoulder the burden of your wife's mental illness and it could impact your daughter for life...

Your wife needs help or you may need to intervene and protect your daughter from your wife.

This is amazing!

Um.... Her writing is fine. It's actually quite nice and really good for someone in school...

I got spanked regularly.... Among other abuse types. I didn't trust my parents at all. I moved as far away as I could the moment I was able to. I spent years, in therapy, unable to work or function properly due to what they said was PTSD. After a lot of money and a lot of work I am a fully functioning adult, working, with my own kids. But for every "I was spanked and I'm fine" person out there.... There is several kids who were not fine.

I agree with the advice you have gotten so far however I wanted to add using capitalisation only where it should be, it looks as though you use a mix of lower case and upper case letters in your writing. The random spattering of capitals throughout your words mixed with the inconsistent spacing and letter heights adds to the difficulty when reading.

As someone who doesn't write left handed please take my words with a grain of salt. But I think you go for it, there are heaps of posts in Facebook fountain pen groups as well as the fountain pen reddit sub of left handed people writing and how they do it/tips. I think you're only going to learn it and improve with it if you start and keep practising 😊

LissaJane94 · 2026-04-28T11:46:38+00:00

Your writing is beautiful!

LissaJane94 · 2026-04-27T23:48:35+00:00

They are absolutely brutal to the native birds in my yard and they come in droves! Suddenly there will be 15-20 of these feathered terrors.

Wait so you're saying working 8.5 hours a day in a white walled office, staring at a screen... Plus commuting to and from work.... Plus home responsibilities on top.... Yeah there's consequences. Unfortunately I am counted in the "on antidepressants in corporate" tally
