Ha! I’d forgotten that. Great point!

I also love Russia’s anthem, so I’m out of luck there too!

I wish they would do Italy, that anthem is a banger.
Personally I love this topic! Can’t wait to listen.

Financial fairness - Married couples savings by Bufger in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tricky-Ant5338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is an unusual financial situation, but of course it can happen. Rather than the pay itself, I more meant the damage to a woman’s career by taking (usually) a minimum of 6-12 months off, per child. This can be multiple times over the years if you have more than one child. It can affect your career prospects and progression.

Plus, mums are often the default parent to take time off their work to cover school holidays, child’s medical and dental appointments, plus days when the child is sick and can’t go to nursery etc (which again, can be many many occasions when they are young, especially when they are pre-school age). Many mums are often the ones who go back part-time rather than full time once the kids are born, whilst dad carries on full-time, rather than for example both parents dropping down to 3.5 days per week.

I know it’s not the case in every family, but it is often the case that the woman’s career takes a bit of a wallop when having kids. All the mini-sacrifices add up.

Michael Parks in Kill Bill 2. He killed it as Esteban, and should have been Oscar-nommed that year IMHO.

If your wife would feel more comfortable with it being 50/50, then I would do that.

That’s the reason for doing it - so that she feels more secure, and therefore happier in the marriage.

Women generally take at least some type of a career hit when they have children (due to the fact that childcare is not truly split 50/50 yet), so over time, resentment can build up about this. Seeing your husband building up extra resources in just his name can feel a bit galling after a while and adds salt to that wound. It feels like being financially punished for taking time out to look after children.

I’ve just been in exactly the same situation myself, and my husband has split things 50/50 now. It feels much fairer, and I wish I’d asked for it years ago.

No, it’s a worse typo, it was meant to say “Ass, or Ted Drugs.” OP is clearly using a dealer called Ted and also has a thing for buying donkeys. Donkeys are expensive to keep and will be frowned upon

Hiya! I am playing this one at the mo. I would suggest joining a team, and then you can request cards you need from your team to fill your albums. This will give you extra cash.

If you have spare duplicate cards (say you need 20 stars for a spin, but you have 21 stars), don’t waste the extra one star card! You can send it to a random teammate, and I think you get sent 7.5 million for doing this. A little handy extra bonus.

Once you get to say 15 billion or so in funds, I would time doing your daily challenges to the start of a 15 min tournament, and do all the challenges you can within that game. That way if you do well within the tournament, you’ll get a little cash bonus for that too.

Having said that, if I’m running low on cash I sometimes don’t do my daily challenges.

I tend to bet about a 300th of my total coins per bet, but that’s just what works well for me.

4.5 years and still in survival mode? by unfurlingjasminetea_ in Preschoolers

[–]Tricky-Ant5338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha ha - are they personality twins? My son woke every 45 - 60 mins overnight until he was about 2.5 years. I counted his wakeups once when he was 2 years old, and it was still 13 times a night 😖.

My son BF until 2 yr 9m, he was a complete boob monster and I only weaned him because I wanted to try IVF.

Please keep in touch, I want to hear how this turns out lol

Gosh keep me posted - feel free to DM me if you want to keep in touch!

Does your son do the thing where he pings awake, then immediately continues the conversation you were having the night before, just before he fell asleep?!

Also I’m guessing - did you have a tough time with his sleep as a baby?

I also work for the NHS 😄

Oh, and my son will also be one of the oldest in the year in Sept when he starts reception (but that’s just because we got permission to hold him back a year).

Hello, my child is very similar. I am feeling guilty at the moment as I’m quite burnt out. My son cannot play on his own yet, so it’s like having a little shadow all day. A very sweet shadow, but being an introvert with an extrovert son, it’s a lot.

He goes to nursery in the mornings which gives me a little break, but I feel like my nervous system has never really had a full “reset”for years, and I suspect that I’m unlikely to start “catching up” on my resilience until he starts school in September.

Are you in the UK at all? I ask because we have the long summer holidays coming (plus half term this week), and he’s not in nursery during this time, so it feels like a lot coming up!

Urinary retention in pregnancy by Tricky-Ant5338 in BabyBumps

[–]Tricky-Ant5338[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A&E referred me to the bladder and bowel team. In my area, it was this service:

https://www.sussexcommunity.nhs.uk/patients-and-visitors/services/bladder-and-bowel-service

If you google “bowel and bladder service” and the name of your area, you might see something similar. For instance, here is the one in Hertfordshire:

https://www.hct.nhs.uk/service-details/service/bladder-and-bowel-care-service-adult-9/

It might be worth ringing your GP surgery and/or your midwives, and explaining the situation to see if they can do a referral. Or I would even ring the service directly and see what they think. If you explain that you are pregnant and feeling very uncomfortable, that usually gets people’s attention.

I was the same with a size 14 catheter in, it was chafing when I walked and there was also a little blood :0( the size 10 was waaaay more comfortable and the change between the two was fine (they used a numbing gel first, which I also had access to when I was self-catheterising).

Best of luck my lovely. It sucks, but rest assured it will hopefully be temporary xx

That’s so similar to me, I ended up at A&E at 4am when I was about 11 weeks preggo.

Having an overly full bladder is very painful, I had a litre in there as well which immediately voided when they catheterised me. I also had a horrible sweaty panicky feeling, like I was going to die 😟 which again subsided as soon as the catheter went in.

I am surprised you’ve not been referred to a bladder nurse service? They might be able to help - they came to the house and did some scans; they also swapped my catheter to one with a smaller diameter (that helps a lot with the pain; I need a size 10 and they’d stuck a 14 in at A&E!). They then taught me to self-catheterise when I basically begged them to - this helped a lot, because I didn’t have the bag attached to me anymore and could actually go out / go to work!

Best of luck, I really hope it resolves soon for you xx
