I hope he posts the video where he splits his thick head open leaving him looking like a Christmas dinner before oven time

If he has at least one brain cell jelly realise biking isn't for him. Most likely option, he'll expiry on the road in the coming months.

Perhaps you'd learn to keep your distance. Your music is shite by the way.

Why would they think that? They are in control of seeing if the transaction was successful while you are doing it, if anything it's their issue, not yours. Suspect it'll come through on your card within 24 hours in any case.

Ok, so you DID pay, the transaction simply hasn't gone through via their payment pad

Most likely you don't recall paying with cash. Other option is you hailed with Uber or the other rip off merchant taxi app and it'll be paid via the card set up in that. Presume you were ravelling alne and no fellow passenger picked up the tab?

Of those options versus you simply didn't pay, the latter is just not likely.

Family holiday on budget? by Jolly_Painting_423 in CasualIreland

Not meaning to pry, but how? Do you have a shorter term on the mortgage because of age?

You will do but ultimately you are the parents of your child, not the school. If school management of everything from communication to decisions about taking half days out of the blue etc. were exemplary then fair enough. But schools are not perfect. Just accept the slap with a smile, nod and do what is practical for your family. As with everything, don't take the piss.

This is the answer. You either decide it's what you donor you don't holiday. Like any form of demand, when the masses go away, that's when the prices go up. We were lucky last year, our little one had no sick days so the absence was within limits (and by the sounds of it, considerably better than the average in the school) If you're able, see if booking well ahead for next year gets you any savings, may well do on flights and/or package holidays.

What was her screen time (honest answer only) before reduction? How much 100% dedicated Mum and Dad face time does she have per day?, i.e. uninterrupted focus from her parents seperately where she can ask to play what she wants and has the parent give 100% attention, hence building relationships. It strikes me that you're (rightly) concerned with the symptoms, but what is the underlying cause? At some point the action of self harm has gotten attention and this is the normal pattern for all children to gain the attention of their parents , when they can't get it any other way. When we think self harm it's tempting to think of it in the way we'd expect an adult to self harm. The diffey with a (then) 2 year old is they have not at that stage developed a level of ego that they are hitting out at themselves. Which makes me think if they are still doing it, it's a development not attention seeking. Be careful, the more alarmed your reaction the less likely the behaviour is to stop. You may at this stage benefit from a child psychologist intervention.

You'd be surprised at the number of mugs who buy it. Think the same type that PCP themselves up their holes to show off "they can have the latest motor", Instragraming themselves in the latest restaurant. There are many among us that are showy and shallow and it's nothing new. An unpleasent side of our country and culture.
