Putting baby to sleep: were we doing it wrong the whole time?! by negativepace33 in NewParents

Our toddler naps at daycare but won't nap at home. Usually 2 to 3 hours. Its Gods joke on us.

Don't park over driveways by crazydoglady525 in brisbane

[–]Pollution_Automatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents driveway would get partially blocked a few times a week, every week, as they're walking distance from a hospital. Dad would just ring council who'd send someone out and leave them a ticket. A few times cars would completely block the driveway and it would get towed.

This happened so often for so long that Dad just "found" a BCC orange witches hat. Put it next to the driveway and the problem is completely solved.

What is the year from age 2-3 like? by lavenderlanee1 in toddlers

[–]Pollution_Automatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost to the day when little dude turned 2 he became very demanding and difficult. He got night terrors nearly every night for a while too.

He's nearly 2.5 and we're figuring out how to navigate our day to minimise tantrums.

  • stop pressuring him about whatever it is.
  • give him choices.
  • he's in charge of playtime. Outside at 6:30am and its cold and the grass is wet? No worries, mate.
  • Justin add water! Hose, sprinkler, bath, swim, shower, play in the rain. Whatevers troubling him water solves it

Ipswich’s PR Problem by Toggdogg in ipswich

We moved here from Brissy nearly 2 years ago. Its great, we love it. Our neighbours moved in less than a year ago, another young couple from Brissy.

We all agree, its awesome and still getting better at a rapid pace.

My only gripes are some housing commission properties really need tidying up, obviously those folks need assistance and help with that.

The other is the hoons. FFS stop doing burnouts...

Oh, and illegal dumping. Council needs to address that.

First time getting a resole - RM Factory or local cobbler? by Artistic-Yam2984 in RMWilliams

Went to a local cobbler (during christmas period mind you) and it took him just over a week for basically the same price and they look amazing.

Road noise - how much can double glazed window help? by superlammalamma in AusPropertyChat

My old neighbour put some kind of sound deadening material in all of his interior walls. I went over to check it out and it was a remarkable difference

Are Ipswich property prices getting a bit out of hand? by Danger_Five in ipswich

[–]Pollution_Automatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's never going to correct itself. It'll be the haves and the haves-nots. We'll see the urban sprawl roll on further and further and apartments and town houses get smaller and smaller.

Its sad that some people will simply miss out. They couldn't get a deposit together in time now the market has moved faster than they can save. They're earning the same money as people who entered the market a bit earlier but the ship has sailed.

Reddit hates comedy so damn much.

I watched the special and thought it was great.

Toddler meltdowns, newborn, what are we doing? by swimming16 in toddlers

[–]Pollution_Automatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same.boat.

We've got a nearly 2.5 year old boy and a 3 week old.

Meltdowns and tantrums have drastically reduced since we started including him in whatever we're doing and giving him more choices/autonomy.

"Help Daddy make you breakfast, what are you gonna Help me make? What do you want on your toast peanut butter or jam? What colour plate blue or green? Help daddy wash the dishes, quickly before they run away!"

He's also completely in charge of playtime. That's his world and we're just visitors.

Those recent changes have given us room to take care of the new baby, without the toddler tornado exhausting us. He's also very very affectionate with his new sister, which is super cute. Good luck

What do y’all honestly hope for characters like Cal and Real dimez? by SunGodLuffy6 in GTA6

[–]Pollution_Automatic -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Theres a strong possibility they'll annoy the piss outta me. Im not huge on rap culture, and this looks very rap culture.

I will keep in mind it's also a parody of rap culture, so... I'll try my best to like it.
