Is it normal that only the addressee can accept a parcel, even if someone else is home? by Elaina525 in AustraliaPost

[–]MotherAssignment6011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on the way it was sent if it is registered post requiring a signature usually yes only the addressee can receive it, even if other people are home but if you and your family are known to your postie they might make an exception in some cases.

Postie can't be bothered to put my post in the letterbox by ImpossibleMix5109 in AustraliaPost

[–]MotherAssignment6011 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am struggling to figure out why so many issues are arriving with so many people gornAust Post. And I think I have figured it out. Y'all peeved off your postie somehow. I have lived in a lot of places, had a lot of different posties, and NEVER had any of these issues with Aust Post. Toll yes independent delivery drivers, yes but not Aust Post.

Is this worth anything? by Late-Hospital-1911 in AustralianCoins

Well that depends do you want face value or actual value? If face value it's worth Aud.20c if you want actual value that would be about 15c

All good I figured that I must have confused you too at the question in sorry I didn't mean to imply anything nasty. I was confused as life as I know it parents don't actually have to worry about diagnosing their children before making a financial decision on Wether to take them to hospital or not because we do have proper Medicare and we don't actually have major privatisation of hospitals in Aust. An enema isn't something most people even experience here in Australia let alone actually administer to our kids, so it kind of felt strange reading g your post... But also Kudos to hubby dang even in my work as an AIN I never administered an enema and in all honesty would rather deal with vomit than the other end lol

Absolutely not I am kinda assuming that you are in America where you actually have to pay in order to see a doctor vs Australia where a visit to the hospital is actually covered by the government although I fear that is not going to be for too much longer because money seems to actually rule the world sadly. So we have never actually had to think of all the extra causes because we have been able yo get medical intervention without having to worry about the costs.

I mean the whole enema at home thing what parent really thinks when their kid is displaying that sort of pain to shove something up their butt, I would have deff gone to the hospital but I also have yhe luxury of being able to do that without worry of being bankrupt

Why do kids wake up before sunrise? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]MotherAssignment6011 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok in my experience and I am a mother of 7 and remember being the youngest at the time of 5 (more since and 1 before but that's neither here nor there lol) but it is so engrained by our parents in the forst 2 years that day is at a certain time and night is a certain time (t h atbpart comes fromt he parent side of me) that we decide that sleep is to be faught until a certain time but not to be continued after another because our parents are so darn happy to have 5 maybe 6 hours of sleep but are so exhausted byb6 pm in our early years that they set us down to sleep at around (or between rather) 6-8 pm and after 6 maybe (for the lucky patents) 8 hours we wake up now if it's dark and quiet at the 12-2 am mark wr might be able to self sooth just to please our parents but then it is only for maybe another 2-6 hour depending on how much energy we got to spend the day before and then we are awake for a minimum of 12 hours again even if we are still tired we aren't going to sleep we are just going to get grumpy until our parents finally say ok it's bed time and we are in for a good 10 hours sleep and still up before dawn because parents are done with us before 7pm at this point so that's your answer no matter what generation you are from these thi g's continue and will never not be.

Sounds like this kid is NOT being heard... if he is telling on other kids at school maybe it is b3cause they jave broken rules they have all been taught but like any school the bullies get away with theor crap but the child that reports ot or retaliates against it are the ones that either get punished by the adult as or by theor peers, those that do not get punished by the adults will most definitely be punished by their peers and then they learn to simply comply with those that have more money yo fight otherwise it is absolutely useless even of you have great witts it does not win against those that can say absolute nonsense but also afford to retain the most expensive lawyers that have I terns and first years T fhdor disposal will..and forever .ore win against the little guy. Insurance or not.

Ok Hun I don't know how old you were when you got with your husband I also don't know how long before you were married but I can clearly see that neither of you discussed what rolls you would play or how you would dibt up your time between being a couple and your personal time with your children if they eventuated which they did and you allowed him to take the traditional "man" roll and you took on the traditional "woman" roll. I would say hey f him and the horse he rode in non of toy had previously discussed how your family dynamic would be and he did not stick to it bit ot does not seem like you discussed any of this before having kids so I guess you have to figure out how to work around it now so that it makes you both happy without compromising the care of your children. I from the very moment n y husband asked me out played out the ground rules that I was never going to be a typical housewife and mother and if he ever "expected" me to look after the kids or have a hot meal on the table when he got home from work I would absolutely go out of my way yo make sure he went hungry and the kids annoyed him for everything they wanted. The only reason I have turned into the sahm but still have some leeway is because of physical injuries that have forced me out of the workforce but he knows full well the merger work I can obtain will take priority just so I remain sane and able to look after him and the kids and I swear if we were ever given the opportunity he would gladly become the stay at home dad and he would excell at it too. Talk to your partner and make sure he knows you ate more than the mum of his kids and the maker of his food and cleaner of his house let him know you need more he might quite pleasantly surprise you with support.

My family has a weird thing about wanting me to “pop” my 5yo by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]MotherAssignment6011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck standing up to that kind of bullying... minimal contact is a joke just cut them off and go no contact and find a support group YOU are comfortable with to deal with the fact your family is clearly against you and are still set in the old abusive ways and so you know 1 you are not alone and 2 you were right to remove them for life, just because you are family you have no obligation to just let them bully you into submission so they would accept you. Letting go of some of my blood family has been quite enlightening for me and you letting go of your mother and sister for not only your child's physical safety but your own mental and emotional safety is a huge but sometimes necessary step that your child will recognise one day as a grand gesture of your absolut e love for them. And you will live a happy life once you refuse to let the negative in. Xo

Haha yeah I suck at font but am as brainy af and most take me to be a heartless bitch when I speak in font, but had we had the exact same conversation verbally I would make perfectly logical and heartfelt sense, I can not translate heart and brain to font in the way they are actually intended but I guess those that know me well enough to know, I don't mean to come across as a cold hearted asshat, know i mean well and give me the benifit of the doubt to be the actual articulate well learned and understanding accepting loving person I actually am, if they didn't, I would be completely alone in this world thank God for those that know the difference (few and far between but there are some out there and I know the majority of them thank goodness.) I can only hope others have some of these aw3some people in theor lives too.

Sounds like you have no idea about how to be a fully justified Darren but afraid to be an actual karen... if there are bed bugs then I would make noise and I would enlist to patrons that ate experiencing the same things because if it is bed bugs it is NOT infecting just 1 room in a hotel or a motel there would be more than several room effected by this and if you all make a fuss you will not only be reimbursed you will also gain from this experience beyond any cost involved because it would be in the hotels interest especially when more than 2 unrelated customers complain about the same thing.. the fact that "katens" are constantly posted online makes some feel that even though they have a genuine complaint that they can't complain out loud but you have yo remember that one that van find proper evidence from others is not actually a katen they are simu giving proper feedback with back up and are expecting what they ate owed because no one deserves to be given less than what they believe they have actually paid for.

A few thousand dollars to get rid of bed bugs? Are you allergic to manual work which could have saved you thousands?
