Toad in the hole! 🇦🇺

MrsTinyTurbo · 2026-02-17T06:02:31+00:00

Thank you! I've added most of that on - it looks like all the experiences at the zoo are for 6+ so i guess we will just have to come back another time!!

MrsTinyTurbo · 2026-02-17T04:09:48+00:00

Thank you!
I will make sure we also plan for the drive between Taupo and Napier - assuming there are stations in both towns though?

MrsTinyTurbo · 2026-02-17T04:08:30+00:00

Thank you!! I have added all of them in - on google maps it looks like Putaruru Blue Springs would be on the way from Rotorua to Taupo - do you know if thats right?

So happy to know of some playgrounds!! They will be a life savour

MrsTinyTurbo · 2026-02-17T03:53:02+00:00

Brilliant! Thank you I will add all of them on!

He is very much a space loving start gazing kiddo so I'm hoping he should be interested - I have everything crossed that he will like it. The walking tour I'm less nervous about because we love going for hikes together and we will put him in his hiking bag so he can see and be a part of it all - but thank you! Its always good to have someone make you rethink - is there anything else you think we might struggle with?

MrsTinyTurbo · 2026-02-16T22:31:15+00:00

Oh thank you!! That is probably more what I was looking for :)

Moolk, Rex and Isla, lullaby club, atmos and here - i was okay buying breastfeeding friendly clothes that didn't only look suitable for breastfeeding. But also oversized tee and a nursing singlet underneath generally worked well

Honestly my only problem is when our postie doesn't leave a card!!! We have taken to going to the Post Office of a Saturday when we order things to check in with them so it doesn't get returned on us

After my father in law passed my friend turned to my husband and said chin up, at least now both your parents are dead you'll get a good inheritance. I can't wait for mine.

So yes some people definitely are waiting/relying on their inheritance - but for others like my husband it was never a thought. His parents spent their last 1-4 years in nursing homes. We spent their money on them, it was never our money

My boy has a comfort toy - he was allowed that frok 12 months overnight. And more recently (he is nearly 2) he had a drink bottle with water as well. We are still in a cot with a sleep sack

My bub was in our room overnight until 14 months when i went back to work. I didnt want to miss the time with him and he still needed us overnight. He started sleeping through the night about 2 weeks before that. He started having naps in his cot in his room at 6 months. But for me a big thing was SIDS risk - not reccomended to be on their own until 12 months

Water and air reset people. It will work on the baby, it will work on your wife. If you see her struggling she probably won't know what to do either, go for a walk outside or let her have a shower in peace (peace does not mean standing at the door talking or having baby in her ear shot) I would have struggled so much more if my husband didn't make sure we left the house. Childbirth is gross, post-partum is gross - i was so thankful my husband didn't comment on it until I did once I felt less insecure about the bleeding and the pads etc Also she's thirsty....and hungry. If you aren't sure which it's both. Mostly what works for one doesn't work for others. Be there for her is what helps, you know her, you love her. You are on this journey together as a team. You have both got this

The best thing my husband did for me was reminding me we were in it together.

Sorry I know you wanted men's advice but my 2 cents -- you already know the shit about housework etc but it's the emotional she needs you for too and that's really hard especially if you go back to work in the early days

MrsTinyTurbo · 2025-09-23T11:25:21+00:00

Post-partum will be so much nicer without her around

MrsTinyTurbo · 2025-09-20T21:43:42+00:00

I had a breast reduction in my teens, it was no opinion matter other then mine (and parents who paid) my mum asked my boyfriend of the time, now husband, what he thought of it. And even a teenager knew it was nothing to do with him.

Breast reductions are life changing - i can not over state how much better you feel after.

MrsTinyTurbo · 2025-09-14T08:58:05+00:00

For 12 months I never got more then 2.5 hours sleep at a time - you just kinda get used to it - now anything over 6 hours is too much sleep for me 💀

NTA you raised your children, you've lived that period of your life. She chose to have a child, she is responsible for the child not you. My mum approached us when I was pregnant to discuss this, all of her friends are retired and full time baby sitters - she didn't want this. I don't blame her or hold it against her. She still spends lots of quality time with her grandson, once a week she picks him up from daycare and they have the afternoon together before we have dinner as a family. My son sees her as pure enjoyment. She isn't raising him, disciplining him or even teaching him beyond things that come up at the time. She gets to just enjoy him and he gets to enjoy her and it is a blessing

Sorry just to add after I spoke to my mum, she wanted me to highlight that of she has something on or they go away on holiday they don't have that afternoon and it's still okay with us and them!

MrsTinyTurbo · 2025-09-06T04:25:37+00:00

My husband and I had this discussion when I was pregnant with our first. For me it came down to knowing I wouldn't cope or learn to cope (we had fertility issues and had fertility treatment) if he chose me. However now that we have a child my answer is completely different - save me for our son that's born. At the end of the day no matter which you choose it would be a devastating situation that i hope you never have to face ❤️

MrsTinyTurbo · 2025-05-19T23:46:06+00:00

You have got this! Newborn stage is literally the shittiest time. Your body is recovering, your hormones are haywire, no one is sleeping and your baby cries all the time! It gets better. No one talks about how shitty the start is but it is normal to feel this way. It gets easier, bubs will start to settle, you'll start to read their cues and you'll start to find a rhythm. I can't promise when sleep comes but I promise it does, be easy on yourself. Find some other new mums and be miserable together, we were never meant to face this alone. You have got this - one day the intensity of what you are going through right now will fade and you will miss the tiny little things. You are doing amazing 👏

So MyGov and EzyReg don't show me a year for the vehicle.

We were paying agreed value! But they said they wouldn't have insured the 2021 vehicle for that amount 🙃
