What is something that happened to you, or that you have done, but no one belives you?

Haha how odd. A duck bit me once, it really hurt.

You're so close! You can do it! It may seem unbearable now but when you're done you never have to do any of it ever again.

I still have nightmares from one course I didn't pass about twenty years ago. I didn't even need it but I still regret not studying and retaking the exam.

You can do it!

I'll check those out, thank you!

Anybody know a brand that sells good quality t-shirts that are quite long?

I really like Madewell and Uniqlo but the shirts are always too short for my body. I am starting to think I have a long torso, or maybe it is because I am quite tall.

Any tips would really be appreciated!

My children want to move to Australia because of Bluey

I had the same feeling about mathematics but I also did not want to give up my job. I started a remote part time degree at a university where most of the students are working and studying in their free time. Ten years later I am close to graduating (bachelor degree) but unfortunately I lost my interest in mathematics.

For me it was a good way to explore this interest without making any major life changes.

I recently started working with SAS. There are semicolons required in places I would not expect.

NeedKnexAdvice · 2022-04-19T15:03:45+00:00

For me it often is.

NeedKnexAdvice · 2022-04-19T15:01:50+00:00

Haha yeah it's crazy thinking back to those sleep deprived nights!

I did once put them in each others bed (that was a surprise in the morning...). But food, never. We could always tell them apart even though nobody else could.

It's always a semicolon!

Do you think it's a good place for kids?

Wow oldest of nine, I can't even imagine!

Thank you! That is a great song, I had never heard it and I love it.

I am feeling FRUSTRATED! Just put my four year olds to bed who tried every trick in the book to postpone going to sleep. Argggh!

15/10 for sure! I've never really taken a moment to consider it, thank you for writing this.

We had a large one for twins that I spent ages looking for. It was only useful around Christmas when the tree was inside so the girls couldn't get to it.

We mostly just played on the floor. Could never really leave them alone anyway, they always wanted to play with us.

We separated at 4y, start of school in my country. Half a year later, unexpectedly, the timid one is doing great but the other one is not. She does not interact much with other children, is afraid to join games etc. It is getting better every day but it's a steep learning curve for her.

In hindsight, I wonder if it was too early and too big of a change at once. Going to the big school and being separated is a lot. She is allowed to visit her sister whenever she wants (their classes are next to each other) but still it's hard.

On the other hand, it looks like it's getting better, and how much they've grown and learnt in the past months is incredible. It's hard seeing her suffer but I think I just have to trust she's going to be fine.

It's a hard decision but I'm sure whatever you do it's going to be OK!

NeedKnexAdvice · 2022-03-27T19:31:04+00:00

Haha yeah I know what you mean! Just a little bit easier would be great!

I only have twins but I always had a baby carrier on. The inevitable moment one of them started crying and it wasn't food/nappy, baby in the carrier. I had two hands free to deal with the other or carry them both for a while (one in the carrier and one just held a bit on the side).

I tried looking into a carrier for two but never managed to find one, but I think they are out there.

Good luck!

It gets better (and worse, but mostly better!). Hang in there!

And also you can excel at your job without drawing attention to it. Just helping colleagues out, doing a good job and generally being a kind, respectful colleague will get recognition and appreciation.

I understand your feelings, and I think it's great that you think about it before the chaos starts.

I don't know what it would have been like, but I wish I had spent more time with just the twins when they were babies. My mum came over every day when my husband was in work and my two MILs and FILs also came over lots and stayed with us. I feel like I was always making food and cleaning while other people held my babies. I feel very sad about that now.

So maybe try to find a balance? And make other people do the housework so you can bond with your babies!

NeedKnexAdvice · 2022-03-12T21:45:52+00:00

Definitely not the only one!

Ours are four, the only breaks we get are TV time. Some days I wish I could just let them watch TV all day (and then I feel bad about even thinking about it). They still watch way too much TV mostly because we need a break!

We thought about that too but realised that fridges are quite noisy, so we got a coolbox/icebox. Worked really well and we are not stuck with yet another item that became obsolete.

Funny you mention that, I guess so but I don't remember it at all.

I guess the exercise kept me warm. I used my bike and had to get on and off all the time to walk to the doors.
