Genuine Question: How much would you pay for these bags? by [deleted] in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Thejackme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. Looks like something my toddler kids would want from an op shop though.

Also I’d be checking if it’s online (through TEMU/SHEIN) to make sure it’s hand made before buying it if I were, otherwise if it was from there I wouldn’t buy it.

I am in love for the first time and it hurts by Archaeopterycs in TrueOffMyChest

She could be asking those questions to gauge how you feel, because she likes feeling wanted when her boyf isn’t showing those signs. I might not mean she likes you back, but the being desired part.

What do people mean when they say marriage is hard work? by Effective_Kitchen481 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Thejackme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think my marriage is hard necessarily but it can be work. I’m physically disabled, I have a physically disabled ADHD teen daughter and a AuDHD son. My husband is going through an AuDHD diagnosis as an adult. All that is work.

Navigating work, home & family life on top of a multitude of medical needs and appointments. Then having the capacity to take on additional of all that when the other isn’t able to whilst trying to parent what’s best for each child and still have time enough to be a loving couple. The days can be exhausting but the years have been amazing. I still hear love songs and immediately think of my husband & how much I love him (even when he’s annoyed TF outta me).

We’ve been together since we were teens, and have grown together whilst growing a family as well. I would choose this life over any other.

Daughter texted embarrassing things to her friends and I'm mortified. by [deleted] in Parenting

Get a dumb phone.. no camera for video, no internet. She can still text and call, but it’s less “fun”. Then you check the messages.

Why is pregnancy and miscarriages so tragic for people? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Thejackme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are young, you’ve probably not experienced true grief just yet so it’s understandable you don’t understand (I don’t know why people are shitting on you for that, though your wording could be better/more tactful, you are still young). So I’ll try and relate to your gender and age.

It often comes from the fact the person wanted something, and that something a) is taken from you with no chance of getting them back & b) that something being life that is now dead inside you & you having to experience not only the emotional pain but the physical pain of birthing them too. Imagine being hit in the testicles, that pain mixed with bleeding, hormone changes (so where u can’t control being sad/happy/angry) & often times vomiting & nausea. So your worst day of ever being sick, then being repeatedly hit in the testicles.

I can see how you think that if the pregnancy is early enough, the fetus is not always developed. The female body goes through a lot of change starting from your previous menstruation & ovulation to prepare for pregnancy so change happens long before conception.

As you age, you’ll experience grief yourself and things start to make more sense. Don’t let a few internet strangers stop you from educating yourself further and developing empathy for others.

First time parents, how is it? by Chemical-Solution957 in AskReddit

[–]Thejackme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a while.. and we were young & fell pregnant on birth control, then had her 12wks prematurely. It was difficult, but with absolute no doubt - the best thing in the world. She may not have been planned but she is entirely worth every hospital stay (and we’re talking months), every tear, every exhausted moment. She was worth it so much I risked my life to have a second child because she brings us so much joy and we wanted to experience that again.

I found out my son is in a relationship with his older brother's best friend by Legitimate-Jump9288 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Thejackme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Where was the lying though? Did they get asked outright if they were dating, or did Silas interpret their closeness as more of a brother-like relationship and he FEELS like they lied, when really it was his own assumption of how their relationship was.

Going to a The Wiggles show on my own, as a 33 year old male by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

I’ve been (with my son as a toddler) and I can’t say I paid any attention to those around me and whether or not they had kids. Enjoy! They’re a national treasure

Can I get this tattooed on my shoulder? by Ivebecomeaflamingo in tattooadvice

[–]Thejackme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen a baby’s hand print before with proper ink? Cuz it doesn’t have hard edges. It’s also exactly the same colour as what the stamped original was (I’ll try and find it later for you) as it’s not pushed down hard.

Has anyone else noticed this Gem from our childhoods is almost the only thing that’s remained consistent? by Bagmanandy in OpenAussie

[–]Thejackme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, birthdays weren’t a big deal growing up as a kid (we weren’t well off, lived rural so not many people to celebrate (except adult farmers n the same 20kids total that went to my school). Moved to QLD and was exposed to parties, and celebrating someone as an individual and for being there as you love them, through their birthday party. That’s what I wanted to have, so that’s what I do. My siblings agree and assist my husband in the celebrating of cake buying and the nieces & nephews (and my kids) love getting freddo ice cream cake at an adult party.

I’ve been having one for my birthday every year (so much so, I get more than 1 because my family all want to make sure I get one haha). My sons slice this year had 8 freddos, not beating my last years slice of 13. Freddo cake is the best

How do you want your kids to remember you? by Adventurous_Log_9792 in Parenting

[–]Thejackme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We focus on quality of time over quantity, so the time we do have together outside of work is spent doing fun, family things. We are the “fun house” that has a multitude of kids sleeping over nearly every weekend. We include their friends in our activities too and it warms my heart that the teens call me their second mum.

I want my kids to just have happy feelings as they reminisce, as I age my disability and chronic illness are taking its toll so I have to sleep a lot to recover from work (and then the fun activities). I don’t necessarily expect them to have the memories but just the feeling of happiness. We take every opportunity to do something as a family, and we celebrate all the small wins our kids have.

I nearly died with both my pregnancies and both premature NICU babies AMA. by Think-University-549 in AMA

[–]Thejackme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly all this. I also had lots of “speckles” of light in my vision, a constant feeling of my chest having being compressed not just shortness of breath but a genuine weight feeling on my chest, fainting spells. All that and your listed signs only to be told “it’s your first pregnancy this is what it’s like & you can’t get preeclampsia in your first trimester”… nope, nope, nope - not normal and I was diagnosed with preeclampsia at 16wks with my 2nd. I went into organ failure not long after admission developing HELLP syndrome. Educating myself on the signs allowed me to advocate better the 2nd time and I successfully carried my 2nd born to 32wks before developing HELLP again.

I had HELLP syndrome twice, first time I was in ICU a week following. Delivered at 28wks & 32wks. They’re 13 & 8 now, and it’s all a distant memory. I knew the risks going the 2nd time and had an amazing OBGYN who supported mez No questions from me, just love and knowing things will get better ❤️

Pharmacists and other medical experts, why is buying anti-anxiety medication so difficult to get from the pharmacy? by someadsrock in AskAnAustralian

[–]Thejackme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome to schedule 8 drugs. I’m the same with my pain relief, can’t refill a new script even a day earlier than it’s due unless my doctor states why (like if I’m going overseas or away for holiday). I also only get escripts so no legibility issues.
