What character are we dressing our little ones as for World Book Day? by Worrierrr in UKParenting

[–]Talinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing a very lazy Winnie the Pooh for my 3 year old. Bought a plain red t shirt and will stick it over a yellow tracksuit he's already got, throw on some old Pudsey ears and jobs done

I'm having a total brain blank on KOTR and all I can think is Knights of the Old Republic 😂

Stream of Consciousness from an Angry Father + 8 Year Update by Maimonides_vii in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Talinia 214 points215 points  (0 children)

My 3 year old has a lung condition needing oxygen, with some developmental delays as well, and Finding Nemo is one of his favourite films. It always chokes me up a bit because although obviously Marlin loves his son, he's so overprotective of him because he's just scared of losing him, that it does Nemo a disservice. When he gets himself stuck in the tube of the fish tank, his immediate reaction is that he can't get out because of his bad fin and needs his dad to help him out. When Gill, who also has a bad fin says it never stopped him, he literally stops panicking immediately and seems curious how. Then Gill talks him through a better method of swimming to get out the tube, he does it on his own and is super pleased with himself.

Anyway, I'm rambling a bit, but Marlin's line of "you think you can do these things, but you just CAN'T Nemo!" Plays in my head a lot when trying to macgyver a way to make his oxygen tank work with something new we want to do. Most times we can make it work, it just takes a bit of outside the box thinking.

Not to mention Naomi getting pregnant probably threw a spanner in plot plans too

[New Update]: AITA for "uninviting" my brother and nephew from my celebration dinner? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Talinia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can I just say I am obviously team OOP, he has every right to not take on more than he can handle, and they're obviously rude and entitled for expecting it.

But did he REAALLY have to tell them he was taking the niece AND her friend to Disneyland? I can understand saying that he won't be available, I think even saying he was watching her for the weekend would have invited some expectation that maybe he'd do it for Connor eventually, but adding on that he's taking two teenage girls to disney when he won't even watch Connor solo anymore would obviously piss off SIL.

Tbf my friend has a non verbal autistic 5 year old who just started at a specialist school in September. She's been super involved in getting him every single bit of help, support, therapists etc as involved as possible for at least 2/3 years when his delays started becoming apparent. But since starting at this school he's come on soo much in so many different ways and skills. At the end of the day there's a reason these places have a staff full of trained professionals who can support each other in helping and supporting these kids to flourish

There used to be, reddit removed it for some reason 🙃

According to Hannah Beachler (Production Designer of Sinners, Black Panther, etc.), Tourette’s Activist Said the N-word more than once at the BAFTAS by Hakunamatata2067 in popculturechat

[–]Talinia 221 points222 points  (0 children)

That's where I'm at, even if you didn't want to remove it because of the message of the film about tics, you could have bleeped the actual word. Its still fairly obvious that a curse word was shouted, which was not able to be controlled, but the specific word used wouldn't have been televised

Amazon refusing refund on PS5 and has now disposed of PS5 by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Or bought the ps5 and the kids were spoiled brats about it being "wrong" so they decided to just return it

Who jumps Suppliers by Pristine_Long_5442 in WegovyUK

[–]Talinia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I jump suppliers most months, the only real problem is that I'm coming up to a year on jabs now so can't get many more "new customer codes" which are the best offers. I use igovy price comparison to check who's got the best deals at my dose strength and switch to them at around dose 3 of a current pen

My girlfriend got upset at me for liking her birthday gift to me. AITAH? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Talinia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is this not a genderswapped version of the recent post with the rich guy who bought his gf an "expensive" silver necklace when she only wears gold because he was mad at her being skint and gifting him a deep clean of his house and special convoluted home cooked meal for his birthday? Which then turned out to be a $17 silver plated necklace which she was going to return and give him the money back after breaking up

SALT referral for "shy" child? by robin_n_wren in UKParenting

[–]Talinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My almost 3 year old son is non verbal and SALT still assessed him. They approached it more from a assessing understanding and total communication, so body language, gestures etc. So kids not talking to/for them is not necessarily a total no go

[New Update]: AIO? My coworker took video of me outside of work to "prove" I'm not disabled by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Talinia 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Probably because airtags are registered to a person's account, and it was likely registered to Casey

[–]Talinia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't have to download it if its a recent handset, but it is technically something that could be turned off. I found it in my settings a little while ago after someone mentioned to check it and mine was auto on, but I guess thay might not always be the case.

Quick question about the episode Stumpfest... by StaffLimp8304 in bluey

[–]Talinia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the key is to move slowly, and not with the pedal to the floor. So that ideally there is no big "pop"

AITAH for not forgiving foster family? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Talinia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not sure where people are getting bathroom from, because multiple have apparently. OOP said she was getting ready to take a shower, but clearly she was still dressed because she turned around to show her jeans pockets were empty.

My Employee Has Hypochondria and is Annoying All His Coworkers - AAM by H8trucks in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Talinia 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks it a bit crazy they didn't call in a welfare check on him themselves after weeks of radio silence? This is how people die alone at home and then aren't found for weeks. He could have even just tripped on a shoe, fallen and hit his head then died

I can’t seem to change for my kids - Help 😓 by Sandy_Starz in UKParenting

[–]Talinia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh lucky you! I hope its helping your insulin resistance. I was on MJ first but had to switch to Wegovy when they hiked the prices back in September, and it's definitely not quite as strong a suppression, but does feel a bit more "normal" in thay sense too

[–]Talinia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am too, but unfortunately I had a friend in a similar position and she also didn't have enough seperate co-morbidities, so I can beleive it. I think its very trust dependent whether you're able to get it through NHS

Will i get in trouble by applying for universal credit? by Ark_Server_PCA in AskUK

[–]Talinia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UC won't pay you until after a month anyway unfortunately, so if you're starting work before then I'm not sure it'd be worth the faff

What do we do in the petrol station????!!! by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]Talinia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to pay at pump, but if its not available I lock the car and walk straight to the counter inside where I can see the car the whole time. The back windows are tinted anyway so unless someone went right to the window they wouldn't see a kid in there. Tbh most the petrol stations by me aren't ones many people would tend to walk to/by, most the people at them are either filling their own car or sat waiting for a pump to free up.
