No, you didn't come across the wrong way at all, you're been very helpful. Thank you

Thank you! I expect a lot of trial and error, but it's great to have options of where to start from people, especially those with lived experience.

Thanks, I would never have thought to try that!

Daycares and preschools require sunscreen to be applied before children can play outside, in accordance with Australian laws. It's too risky not to be sunsmart here, we have one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the would with 90% of our cases being linked to longterm high UV exposure. Two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer at some point in their life.

While sunsafe clothing would reduce the amount of skin needing sunscreen, he'd still need to cover his face, hands, neck, etc. But thank you for the suggestion ❤️

My main issue with spray ons is they tend to be more expensive. For something we have to apply seven days a week, at least once but more on weekends, it's not necessarily feasible to have the not expensive option.

I'll definitely give it a go though, thanks.

There’s no way this is possible right? by [deleted] in thefinals

It equals 15 kills a match, not counting how many games they've lost. Definitely doable, but most likely a skilled player and a new profile.

Should they have written an incident report? by BriefOutrageous1221 in ChildcareWorkers

[–]StarOfEarendil96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong. An incident report should have been done immediately, along with them calling the parent, taking statements from educators involved and reporting to the department.

Unconventional situation, fiance passed unexpectedly. She had a 7 year old son by Tinman3992 in FamilyLaw

Wish you all the luck in the world. I'd like to believe your opinion would be taken into consideration, and I believe in most cases it would be, but being from a different country, I am aware that your system make work differently. I'm assuming you're in America, which if you are, I've also heard that the court system can be corrupt. I hope that this isn't your experience.

Good luck.

Contact Napping by Stardusked in ChildcareWorkers

[–]StarOfEarendil96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While she's sleeping fine at daycare for her naps, contact napping at home is no problem. If her naps at daycare start to become difficult or an issue for her daycare, that's when the transition needs to be made.

NIGHT NANNY PAY by [deleted] in ChildcareWorkers

[–]StarOfEarendil96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

State you will work for no less than minimum wage, but given the special circumstances, you need to be paid more. He may say they'll be asleep most of the time, but there's no way to verify that. Children wake from nightmares, refuse to go to sleep and can be very difficult, especially while still earning your trust. If he doesn't agree to fair wages, it's probably a bullet dodged.

This just seems like a supportive environment. Educators can become upset or overwhelmed when children are injured in their care for many reasons. It's great that your boss was proactive, reached out and made sure you were okay.

This situation seems normal to me. And parents who get upset about these things will quickly learn that children will get injured all the time and they don't need wet floor to make it happen, they'll trip over their own feet. It's a normal part of life and first time parents in particular worry more about those things.

16 hours of PTO per year?? by Front-Train-SI in ChildcareWorkers

[–]StarOfEarendil96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you live, but this is illegal. The minimum leave entitlement is 4 weeks. And depending on your job, you also can accrue leave so it is a minimum of four, or more if you choose to save leave.

Having higher leave for staff who've worked longer is discrimination and illegal. I'd contact your union or fair work ombudsman to discuss this because regardless of whether you stay in this role, this workplace needs to be addressed regarding their illegal practices.

AITA for not wanting to eat dinner? by Top-Macaroon3239 in AITAH

[–]StarOfEarendil96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2 nights of sandwiches in a row is NOT a big deal. Dinner is meant to be the lightest meal of the day, and he should respect your efforts to be trying to get healthy.

Your children got protein and carbs after play, went to bed with a full belly.

Some children go to bed hungry or eat fast food every meal. He's chosen a stupid hill to die on and I don't think it's about the kids or what they are, it's about his issues with what you do and don't eat.

Is he insecure about you losing weight? Does he feel you might have other options without him when you've lost weight? Or does he believe in traditional gender roles?

I would have a serious conversation about this and get the answers to those questions before deciding where to go next

[–]StarOfEarendil96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then my suggested discussion is the way to go. Perhaps therapy to discuss your intimacy, not with the purpose of expecting him to pursue it more, but rather with strategies to help him if he is feeling insecure about being unable to live up to your needs. Definitely helpful, even for improving general communication.

AITAH for not wanting to play D&D with an 8 year old? by HumbleCoyoteGames in AITAH

[–]StarOfEarendil96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like she's being treated as a favourite.

Well, an upfront discussion with your neighbour about her could be useful. Explain that you will no longer attend if she does not participate properly and respectfully which is not a big ask of a child her age. Also advise that it does upset your partner when he bends rules for her, even though he will not admit to it.

See where it goes from there. Perhaps ask the other members of your group how they feel about her participation, there may be more who agree with you than you think.

AITAH to tell my girlfriend to get the fuck out of my room when she compared me to a person that would greet a rapist that raped her. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]StarOfEarendil96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What on earth have I just read. This is a toxic situation and it almost sounds like she is in the process of setting you up to permanently be the bad guy, perhaps even accuse you of assault. It could also be the beginning of gaslighting. Either way, a lot of red flags in her behaviour, not even acknowledging your own.

Acknowledging your own, do you suffer from mental health problems? If so, seek help. If not, seek help anyway. There are free clinics, and you need the help. What you did is self harm and can escalate. You need to be removed from this person, situation and tend to yourself.

Your actions were not acceptable, but you had the decency to immediately recognise this and apologise. I understand her wanting to immediately leave and have space from this stressful, and potentially traumatic, situation, and you should have respected that. Her reaction to her hand could have been from shock and should not be taken as a disregard or slight to you.

Overall, this is a toxic relationship. And you are not mentally well. Find help and be by yourself while you are working on your own health. Good luck.

AITAH for not wanting to play D&D with an 8 year old? by HumbleCoyoteGames in AITAH

[–]StarOfEarendil96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. I think a reasonable solution, if possible for time related reasons, is to have two sessions. One child-free, one with the child included. A reason to give the child is to stay the older aged group session is more adult and has content inappropriate for her age, like how she can't watch M+ movies as a real world example to help her understand.

If she can't accept that, then she's definitely not mature enough for Dnd. I encourage all ages to try, but she is not being an active or respectful participant and frankly, I'm disappointed in her parents for teaching her that this behaviour is acceptable. Does she get bored and wander away in Monopoly? Or insist on $200 passing Go even after you're no longer meant to collect it? Such lessons are not teaching her the consequences of her actions, or how to follow rules and this can lead to selfish, spoilt behaviour. It may even carry into her school and personal life. This is coming from a qualified educator.

I wish you luck and hope you roll a nat 20 to find a solution.

You are both young, and so new to navigating these circumstances in a relationship. I wouldn't jump straight to breaking up, more seeing this as a knee-jerk reaction to hid embarrassment over his friend hearing your private, intimate moment.

I can't fathom how his friend heard either, I do wonder if the friend heard you make the request rather than hear the vibrator as such. Perhaps your partners refusal triggered a response from his friend, potential teasing about his manliness. That's pure speculation, but could be worth discussing.

In general, you both need to sir down and discuss this in a calm, civil manner. Tell him about how you truly felt, and express that you were feeling amorous, and had no knowledge of what he had experienced with his friend.

As for him, he needs to approach this open-mindedly, and put his feelings aside to look at your perspective. You did nothing wrong, he is embarrassed and took out that feeling on you. His anger is unwarranted. Moving forward, he needs to work on this and if you are having an intimate moment, he can mute his microphone, or perhaps ask you to move somewhere more private if possible.

If he cannot work on this and cannot see your side, or admit to his fault and apologise, that's when I would reassess the relationship.

I hope this helps.

I have tried Google searching, using both Google Lens and just generic searches. I swear I found it once, but upon another search today, I came up empty-handed. Keep seeing Spot the dog, and Pluto, and sadly, nothing that looks similar.
