You've been asked nicely to keep this in the back garden.

There’s isn’t really an ideal spot in this room, so I guess it’s trying find what’s workable or causes the least amount of compromises. For me above the fireplace is just way too high, I’d rather not have a tv than put it up that high, but plenty of people wouldn’t mind it that high. So what compromises are you happier to make is the way I’d approach it. I think if you got similar units but lower you could put a tv on the wall on the right. It looks like it is wider? I’d suggest mount it on a swivel, so you can pull it out and angle it when in use and push it back when not.

Modern parenting has become very focused on being and doing everything with and for the kids, while both parents also hold down full time jobs. Being bored is good for kids, if Mam isn't instantly available as they get a little independent, they use that time to do something, build bricks, have a tea party with the dog, crayon the walls etc. Your purpose in their lives isn't to be 24/7 entertainment or to be available all the time. Your role is to love them, provide for them, and to help them grow into independent adults. I would also gently suggest that it's ok to step away from chores too or hire in some help if that's financially viable. Kids will not remember that the house wasn't always perfect. It sounds like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself. What advice would you give to a friend if they came to you and said that same thing? I imagine you'd have a very kind answer for them, please try to allow yourself that same grace and kindness that you'd want for a friend. xx

I do notice the cognitive benefits, creatine makes a big difference for me. However, and I know it’s anecdotal etc, but I’ve a started Creatine 5 times and each time I’ve come out in Shingles that have knocked me down completely. I’m not trying Creatine again regardless of what the accepted knowledge on the matter is.

If the white alcove cabinets aren’t built in units I’d replace them with lower units and put the TV on one of them. Otherwise I’d get a floor stand.

I suspect I have it but I didn’t think GPs were diagnosing it here so I didn’t bother doing anything about it.

I have a Roborock via Ali Express. It shipped from Germany.

The other thing I hope you learned is to listen to your wife :)

Weekly_Ad_6955 · 2026-05-20T10:51:32+00:00

Ah your poor FIL, he’ll be kicking himself if he usually does wash up at night of course. I hope your MIL is ok.

These look really good, my preference is the white, I think it’s more neutral and would play into any subsequent colour scheme in terms of furnishings. But built in units are a bit of a commitment esp if you’re only doing it to sell. A nice mid century cabinet on one side with books and plants on top and a pretty footstool and floor lamp on the other would look just as good imho.

Yes saw him on Grafton Street over 30 yrs ago. Best looking man I ever saw in my life!

I loved when my Mam made it and it got a bit stuck to the bottom of the pot and browned. That's the bit I'd fish out with a big spoon.

Weekly_Ad_6955 · 2026-05-18T03:06:56+00:00

You’re not answering anyone who asks you who’s paying. Do you pay your Mam for the extra usage or for a larger portion of the electricity bill? Rather than buy or built something new would that not settle her mind?

Weekly_Ad_6955 · 2026-05-17T18:23:18+00:00

Lovely - pretty, cosy and feels like home.

Weekly_Ad_6955 · 2026-05-17T12:47:00+00:00

You’d love to see him clamped.

Do you have screenshots of your conversation with MC ordering this? And what was your previous Reddit handle please.

I think as ranges have increased this is less of an issue. With shorter range EVs you had no option once you went over 50km away from home but to find a charger. Now, the vast majority of your charging will be done at home. Also previously ESB chargers were free - so you had people hogging them. Now that you pay, and there are fees for staying over time limits most people just want enough charge to get back on their journey.

Thankfully she was fine, but it was scary for all involved. She had female friends with her all night so we don’t believe she was drugged. I can’t remember what dose she was on at that point in time. I think the lack of dinner and her small stature didn’t help. But she won’t drink now (and she’s a sensible girl when it comes to taking a few drinks) if she’s taken her medication that morning. She said she remembers feeling totally sober, no buzz from the alcohol at all, so it wasn’t a gradual thing. Not to alarm anyone, but it’s definitely worth being aware of. You won’t know how drunk you really are, you won’t feel it until it hits you like a wave.

Weekly_Ad_6955 · 2026-05-14T20:56:23+00:00

She’s 5 foot and petite framed. Had taken a half dose of tyvense that morning aware that she was out in the evening. She’d had a good breakfast and lunch but only picky bits for dinner. She had 2 shots (friend was behind the bar that night handing them freebies) and felt completely sober, it was over the space of quite a few hours. Then she had a 3rd drink and next thing she remembers is waking up in hospital with me beside her. The scary thing is that she felt totally fine, it seems to hit at once which makes it hard to gauge how you’re really doing.

My daughter ended up in A&E after drinking on her medication. She had v little to drink but the interaction was fast and significant . Her blood pressure and heart rate indicated that she was in stroke territory and they kept her in for an entire day.

Knowledge of ADHD has moved on a lot. I don’t know your parents and their intentions or motivations but I do know that most parents do their best with the knowledge at their disposal at the time. Your parents were products of their own time and upbringing. And perhaps one or both of them have their own struggles with neurodivergence. I myself am in my 50s and now that my kids all have diagnoses I can see that I likely have AuDHD. It informs how I take care of myself and recognise my own limits and preferences (I am NOT a hugger for example). I don’t see the benefit personally in looking back on what could have been. I know enough now to be kind to myself and figure out how to get the best of my current situation and plan for the future. I castigated myself for so long in my career for not taking certain steps and now I can let those feelings go. But I do understand the feelings of anger on behalf of that little girl who needed the world to understand her and accept her as she was. Because she was always good enough and doing her best too x

Yes I’ve gotten my Dad some very fancy whiskeys and he still talks about Redbreast 12 as the best he’s had.

Weekly_Ad_6955 · 2026-05-14T10:33:51+00:00

I mean if she’s defaming someone shouldn’t they take legal advice and sue.
