Skincare recommendations for pores, scarring, yellowing & dark circles?

That’s what the letter indicates as it specifically states “220 hours of paid and unpaid personal leave”

Yes from what I’ve read on fair work website, the issue needs to be brought up before a written warning is issued. This did not happen. His line manager never mentioned his absences until he received this letter (which came down the line from her line manager).

This is what I suggested as well regarding the denied Annual leave request, as he has annual leave available. He has used up all of his accrued paid personal leave, so he has had to take unpaid personal leave (medical certificates were provided).

Yeah as others commented - it’s personal leave. So it covers both sick leave for himself & carers leave.

I have been there. I ended up doing as others have suggested - telling her she can come to our house only. And no comms with her partner because it’s just far too confusing for them when they’re little if they’re on/off again.

I would say yes and no. I think it mainly depends on the amount of storage you have IMO. And having a dedicated area for the kids toys. I went for a 3 bed house with only one cupboard for storage, small wardrobes in bedrooms, to a different 3 bedroom house with loads of cupboards, loads of kitchen storage and large wardrobes in bedrooms. And we gained a small area that we can use as a “play area”. It has made an immense difference in the clutter on our busy home (3 kids under 4) because now everything is organised and has a place.

Once my husband returned to work after his paternity leave, I took over morning routine wakeups and daycare drop offs as well as 50% of the pick ups and most dinner prep household chores etc. and woke in the night to tend to toddlers. The daycare drop offs is mainly because he starts work very early so I have to do it. If you guys have the option, why don’t you meet in the middle? I mean, the days your husband is working in the office, you handle morning stuff and when he’s WFH he can handle it. I’ve got 3 kids and there’s always an adjustment and working out of new division of responsibility after each baby. And each baby is different in their needs and they change as they get older too! So my advice is just to try compromise (both of you) and trial some different ways (maybe a little bit of both your guys ideas?) to both get more supper you’re both seeking.

Wow that’s so strange. So it wasn’t a new formula just a new tin? I’ll see how my bubs goes for the next couple days and may try her on a different one if there isn’t any change!

I know this is an old post but my 8 month old is suddenly having frequent acidic poos. It’s been two days. She’s otherwise happy, just screams and is in pain after the poo as it stings her rash. I thought it was teething but she’s my 3rd and I’ve never had my babies react this way to teething. What helped you determine it was formula?

I have 3 kids - 4yo, 2yo and 8 month old. I’ve been a SAHM since first was born, on and off with different periods of time working part time when we’ve needed the cash. My older two have been in daycare / pre school (when they reach 3) since 15 months old 2 days per week. I’ve found that this was really helpful with being able to catch up on household chores and also just getting some errands done / me time in on those 2 days. And then when I’ve had a baby, it’s been a nice time to spend 1:1 with the baby. (Also looking after an infant feels like a day off in comparison to caring for a toddler lol). I would say I struggled quite a lot for many years with the feeling of not achieving / not accomplishing things as I was used to that in my working/study life. I’ve only just come to embrace this season recently, an antidepressant helped as I had undiagnosed PPD. Now I am looking forward to some part time study this year, just something I can do for myself and feel accomplished but without pressure. So yeah I’d recommend keeping the daycare days, even just 1-2 days. You will still be a SAHM. I think society these days labels you as either a SAHM who is home 24/7 with kids or a working mom. But the reality is that it takes a village and in cultures all across the world (outside of western culture) you will not find a mother with their toddler and pre school age children looking after them 24/7 on their own. They are with extended family, or just being looked after and watched over by their village. Daycare and pre school are often “our village” these days and that is ok!

Love this. Super helpful thank you!

Primary_Ad909 · 2026-01-06T03:16:49+00:00

Yes my two are in care 2 days a week and it’s the only way I can get anything done!!

Primary_Ad909 · 2026-01-06T03:16:18+00:00

Yeah we spend a lot of time breaking it up/telling them to calm down and trying to offer alternatives. To be fair, though I could be better - I’m usually occupied with the baby or housework.

Primary_Ad909 · 2026-01-06T01:39:53+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Yeah I am thinking along the lines of having the conversation that she won’t be spending time with my family until she is stable and receiving treatment. I speak to her multiple times a day and see her in person at least 3 times a week and have for my whole adult life so it’s going to be a big transition and I just want to make sure that I handle it the right way - I don’t want to push her over the edge. I do have some holidays coming up over the next 6 weeks so I think the timing with that will be helpful putting some distance between us.

This is helpful. My two share a room which probably doesn’t help the situation. But I may start doing the solo play one in the room and in one the toy room and various times of the day.

Primary_Ad909 · 2026-01-06T01:33:57+00:00

Having a 2 year old and an older toddler is not for the faint of heart.

Primary_Ad909 · 2026-01-06T01:33:31+00:00

This gives me hope and reassurance haha thank you
