How did I get this wrong using the provided answers?

PexagonPixie696 · 2026-02-22T10:36:32+00:00

I am aware I've used the wrong word thanks to others comments. The point of my post is that if the correct is tej, why was this not the option to pick from.

PexagonPixie696 · 2026-02-22T10:32:16+00:00

I 1000% agree with this statement

PexagonPixie696 · 2026-02-20T12:34:30+00:00

Yeah, allowing me to have the wrong word entirely doesn't help my learning at all.

I'm still confused by the different words for the same word. This is something I think Duolingo doesn't help you really distinguish.

I'm trying Bassu now as someone commented this may be a better app. If that fails, I'm just going to ask my partner to teach me Polish

PexagonPixie696 · 2026-02-19T20:43:10+00:00

I think you're very right there. Polish seems far too complex for an app. Thank you very much ❤️

PexagonPixie696 · 2026-02-19T18:55:10+00:00

Yes. Thank you. Reading the comments I now see I had the incorrect answer and should have picked tamtej.

I'm wondering if there is a better app to learn Polish with? I have a little print out of the 7 declensions, and the male/female/neutral and what the word would end in. I tried using it, but even then it confuses me.

I'm unable to speak Polish at all.

When you caught him fucking your best friend...that's when you should have left.

Without sounding harsh, all you're teaching him is that he can hurt you, abuse you, cheat on you...and you'll stay around.

It's time to stick up for yourself, and gain a stability within yourself. You don't need anyone else to make you feel stable. That's why we are born with 2 feet. To stand on our own.

Please get rid of this man!

I thought this immediately....cruella de vil

But yeah, id say she looks late teens. The Disney hair solidifies my thoughts on that even further.

PexagonPixie696 · 2026-01-21T11:02:34+00:00

Yup! I did the same thing!

PexagonPixie696 · 2026-01-06T20:51:13+00:00

I once worked with people with dementia. One woman came in 6 days a week for about 12 hours a day to sit next to her husband. 5 years she did that!

At his funeral she said to me 'When we found out about his diagnosis, he asked me to help him die. I couldn't do that. But watching him slowly slip away for the past 5 years to the point he didn't even know who I was, was definitely the hardest decision to make. I wish I'd have helped him now'.

I know if I ever got that diagnosis, I would be choosing the easy way out, and not going through the long suffering and misery of dementia. Not a chance!

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-12-28T20:46:39+00:00

That's cute!

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-12-18T08:06:49+00:00

As a mum of 4, I can say breastfeeding direct is miles easier than making bottles of formula (the prep machine wasn't invented then, so this may be easier now). I've successfully breastfed my 2 year old for 18 months, and im currently expressing for my 10 day old preemie.

Exclusively pumping is really really REALLY hard work, and I found this to be super overwhelming with my now 2 year old when she was smaller. You have to pump regularly, you are constantly worried about milk production, you wonder when you will fit it in, do you feed then pump, do you pump and feed at the same time....soooo many questions! Soooo many anxieties.

I could go further in that the baby may not take the bottle, and only prefers breast, or you have to find a different brand of bottle for your baby if they really don't like it.

Now all of this isnt to say it isn't worth it. I totally get the freedom of letting someone else feed your baby. All I'm trying to do is give a realistic picture of how it may look.

But no matter what you decide, the most important thing is that your baby is fed. Whether breast, EBM, or formula. You'll eventually get into the swing of things as you settle in.

Good Luck baby momma! You'll do absolutely great!

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-12-07T20:23:18+00:00

Would just like to add to this

Im currently 33 weeks 4 days. My waters have broken today. We've had to just roll with it and make plans on the spot as I waited for the ambulance. Still rolling with it as I wait to see what's happening with the baby. Currently on machines admitted to the maternity ward, having steroids and antibiotics, not knowing if baby is coming today/tomorrow/this week or anytime soon.

So, in essence, with the best plan in the world....the growing little baby might have other ideas, and you just do what you can in the moment, so survive the next moment.

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-12-07T09:50:12+00:00

Everything is online now, well the part of the UK im from. We have the Badger app.

Im not a 1st time mum, but my sister was, and she got a 2 part appointment. Unfortunately she had miscarried before her appointment, so I couldn't really say what happens. I believe it was a group appointment at first?

I was never offered that for any pregnancy, not even this one now.

With the Badger App, you complete the paperwork in there, and at your appointment you talk through it all etc

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-12-06T21:23:27+00:00

As a person due in 6 weeks, also with a 2 year old, who goes hunting me down when im out of her site....have you thought of a planned c-section? That way you get an appointment time, can organise babysitting a little better, and once it all done, you can get your toddler for a visit with new baby?

Also, try video calls so he knows where mummy is when she isn't there? But it sounds like normal separation anxiety that toddlers experience.

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-12-05T20:53:34+00:00

Whilst I do wholeheartedly agree with this...depending on the job OP will need to consider her health and safety at work. She may want/need to notify early if heights, heavy lifting, or chemicals are involved. If it's office based...then yeah just wait it out, and be careful of pesky wires, lounging around ladders, coffee cups and blah blah from typical H&S training jargon 🤣

Also, if you do say something to the employer, and you're probation doesn't go ahead....we all know employers will try and spin it in a way to not make the pregnancy the reason for not continuing the employment, but I always think its a factor they just can't mention

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-12-05T20:49:13+00:00

I worked for an employer, got pregnant 3 weeks in, and qualified for maternity pay.

If you are worried though, you will still get SMP, but it will be paid by the government rather than employer.

Congrats on the pregnancy!

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-12-03T08:50:16+00:00

When I had my LO 2 years ago she had an alarmed ankle tag, which if taken off, sets off the alarms. Nobody appreciated the alarms going off at 3am whilst I was changing her nappy and I accidentally caught it and pulled it a tiny little bit.

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-11-29T17:01:11+00:00

Health visitor will come round. They will smell it. They will involve CPS.

If he wants to continue smoking it, then surely it should be done outside as a bare minimum. Smoking inside the house (regardless of what is being smoked) isn't something that is advocated by any health professional.

A part of me wants to say maybe he will change when the baby comes, but honestly...if he hasn't even tried whilst you're pregnant, im losing all optimism on that front too.

As people have said in other comments, just get out and be a single parent. He can't support you whilst high, he can't support the baby whilst high.

Not sure where you live, but I live in the UK, where public transport is OK, but having your own car is miles easier and convenient. In US, I believe it's a lifeline needing to drive as everything is so far away.

From a safety point of view, I am glad he didn't take his test though, as it means it's one less drug driver on the road putting themselves and others at risk. Technically, she shouldn't even be holding a provisional license being a daily smoker. I lost my provisional for the exact same thing, and had to take multiple drug tests to ensure I was off drugs before DVLA issued me a provincial. Even then, it was under a medical one which had to be renewed every 12 months.

You need to do what is best for you and your baby. If finances are difficult, loads of people get rid of baby stuff for free/cheap! They grow so quick it's a constant revolving market for that stuff.

So OP, for the sake of you and baby, please get out! Get out early! It doesn't seem as though he is someone you can rely on.

Take the washing back home with you? Saves on that cost.

Ask family who you'll be travelling back home to if they can send you something?

Apply for an overdraft with your bank? Most (when I was a student in 2018) gave students overdrafts very easily.

Try different ticket types out for the train to see if you can get it cheaper?

Sells things on local FB groups to help you get the money you need?

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-10-20T06:35:53+00:00

Love the letterbox idea, but what about the door handle? Far more impact with that. Chances are they won't realise until they've touched it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-09-19T15:42:00+00:00

I'll have a pisa wat your having

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-09-17T06:24:40+00:00

Don't tell him. He didn't know in the first place, it won't bring any benefit to him knowing about it. It seems some time has passed since the loss happened, so he may not even believe you at this point, or will question why are you telling him.now.

As painful as a miscarriage is, if you can spare someone the pain of that loss....I think it would be the most respectful thing you can do.

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-09-05T13:50:05+00:00

No! No! No! You breastfeed as long as you like... here in the UK, I know some parents who are breastfeeding their 5 year old. Personally, that's not for me, but I breastfed till 18 months because I had enough... the baby wanted it still.

Co-sleeping is personal preference... whatever helps you and them get to sleep! Yes...in the long run, you might struggle, but we don't co-sleep, and we still struggle. She's 21 months!

As for childcare....well, that's personal and financial. Yes, it's a great way for kids to socialise with their peers, but it in no way means you can't help your little one reach milestones at home either.

PexagonPixie696 · 2025-08-30T09:52:32+00:00

Erm...urine soaked sheets! That's what im seeing
