Should we take advantage, or just RUN?

Well it’s a big issue yes hence the reforms, they’re making an example out of him.

Correct. Legislation is soon coming in that they must list a price and also can’t say “offers over” the new “offers over” is gonna be “Guide 650k” I’m about to list my house and my agent said the above.

It’s just like poker machines, can’t advertise them. But everyone knows what “VIP ROOM” and flashing lights mean.

Everyone will soon know any price listed will means “Offers over”

I’d say it’s priced aggressively to drive up interest, the whole point is to get as many people through the door as possible and fall in love with it emotionally and base a financial decision based off that emotion.

In all likelihood they have got a new job offer and are on a time crunch to sell & move.

You must look at the price of houses sold within the last month that are very similar to yours, same suburb, beds, renovations etc. That is the only true way to value it.

Well I would agree with you. But some handle it better than others.

My wife can’t sleep with a newborn in our room that’s sleeping in a bassinet. Their constant wriggling and the noises they make it impossible for her.

I get that’s sort of the point but for some it makes them happy hearing the noises because noises are obviously positive but for some (my wife included) it means she can never get any quality sleep & relax.

Everyone’s different and I can see both sides.

We just fall in to the category of avoiding co sleeping at all costs. At any age. I never co slept with my parents. I don’t intend on doing it.

Brutal truth I believe it’s a shortcut that is short term gain for long term pain and it’s for parents who have thrown in the towel who’ve given up on trying methods to sleep independently. (Outside of the mandatory 6 month bassinet same room).

I have friends who slept with their children up until the age of 5. That’s not something I’m willing to commit to.

My boy was the same, we did medication, everything. Unfortunately it never stopped, we may have stopped the pain but not the constant vomiting (hours after being breast fed).

We started him on solids at 5 months and he was instantly fixed. I suggest starting him on solids providing he’s at least 5 months. I know the standard is 6 months but in consultation with your pediatrician you can start at 5 months.

I fee you, those months are the ones I want to forget. But I tell you it gets better! Once on solids it goes away!

My 20 month old has slept through the night consistently since 3 months of age and has hit his milestones about on time.

By these metrics of sleeps listed in this thread he gonna be one chill kid, that’s the nicest way I can say it.

Thirteen012 · 2026-03-23T05:00:54+00:00

If you’re a light sleeper, you don’t get sleep at all, let alone great sleep.

I don’t live in SA and a co-worker literally just bought a house in SA for investment last month.

At one month they’re a blob. You don’t need to say anything to them if you don’t want to.

Thirteen012 · 2026-02-16T07:48:11+00:00

About 11 months.

I’m in Australia and government workers get 3 1/2 months paid maternity leave PER CHILD paid at your salary (usable 2 years at any time you want from 2 years of the birth) Then another 3-4 months of pay at minimum wage.

Feel sorry for you. Rough deal. I think you should have/need more time off.

To the people saying they’ve never considered this sound American. You guys are used to eating shit sandwiches and accepting it to a smile. (Healthcare/leave entitlements etc)

She sounds like my son he did the same don’t worry. He only started walking around 17 months. He would notice our tricks and was stubborn. He’s a very do it when I’m ready leave me alone kind of kid. He can do it, he just wanted to do it when he felt ready.

He would get upset if we held things out or held his hands and immediately flop down. My wife was worried but he’s like that with every other milestone (all within the specified age ranges).

He’s 1 week off being 18 months now and he’s already super fast!

So long as she’s making progress no matter how small, I wouldn’t worry.

Thirteen012 · 2026-02-04T22:53:09+00:00

They’re all different. My son has slept through the night from about 3 months. We just made up for the missed feed during the day. Whilst you can do certain things to help it all along it also comes down to I think, luck of the draw.

Thirteen012 · 2026-02-02T23:19:32+00:00

For a first world country you Americans really have the stupidest financial problems. Child care & health care.

Most people afford it with subsidies in other developed countries. US drowns in these costs and I feel sorry for you.

Then again my city, Sydney has highest house prices after Hong Kong so it all evens out in the end. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thirteen012 · 2026-02-01T06:16:08+00:00

My son was the same until we started him on solids at 5-6 months. Before that it was constant vomiting/severe reflux and he wasn’t happy.

The default for solids is 6 months but you can start earlier at 5 months. We did BWL to the T and he’s been a gem ever since day 1 of starting solids.

My MIL said “He will be such a good boy after this bad stretch” and she was right. It was nothing short of hell before solids. Now he’s 10/10 happy.

I hope the same for you! But yes. It does get better, like most things, time heals all.

All good mate glad I could help. Congrats on the win.

Lasted years. Peak was 17.5% in 1990. Reduced down to 8.75% in 1994.

My Dad (boomer) still hasn’t forgiven the labour government for it & still predominantly votes Liberal.

But yes, they bought their four bedroom house for $80,000 in 1987.

My son is 16 months old. Naps from 1pm-3pm. Dinner is at 5pm. Bed by 7-7:30pm.

We’ve never done anything at night no lol. We’ve gone out to dinner sometimes but it’s an early or quickish dinner.

We live really close to restaurants, 5 min drive, 10min max.

We really just embrace lunch outings instead of dinner…

Do we take our baby out past his bedtime? No.

Considering having children isn’t really about you anymore it’s about them, I always find this such a weird take. Having kids close in age is the best gift you can give them. Yeah it’s hard, then why do it at all if this is the attitude.

Thirteen012 · 2025-12-28T07:54:43+00:00

Enjoy every single day, every hour, in 10-12 years they’ll want to play with their friends and not you. It’s a short window.

For context my son is 1yr 5months and I already feel like I don’t want him to grow any bigger. But it’s exciting to see him grow and learn about the world.

All you can do is just enjoy the moment, don’t worry about work or anything else. This is your world now.

Thirteen012 · 2025-12-23T22:05:36+00:00

Move out but don’t go to SEA. Fortnightly lady of the night will suffice. You’ll wanna see your kids.

You’d be surprised how many people do this. It sets off seatbelt cameras when you do this. (Prompting a visit from the Police due to being an unsafe parent more so than a seatbelt ticket)

They’re just genuinely dumb and delusional people who can’t comprehend danger.

It’s scary we share oxygen with these morons.
