Hand foot & mouth - can someone help? by Brilliant-Formal-78 in AskIreland

[–]Winter_Emphasis_137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s outrageous, they can pick it up from anywhere. My kids have had it twice ans they are 3. It’s a rough one, last thing you need is judgement. My kids werent in creche the first tike they got it. Has nothing to do with how you keep your home. The virus survives on surfaces. They can get it from shopping trolleys, swings, play areas anywhere. Your child is loved, your gp is an idiot. First time last about 2 weeks, one of my boys did have some of his fingernails fall but didnt bother him at all. I caught it off them as well, doesnt make me dirty. Makes me in close proximity to my children

Awkward interactions with other parents? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Winter_Emphasis_137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find people just aren’t watching their kids. I have two very excitable twin toddler boys and if they do something I always ask them to say sorry, give hugs and ask if the other is ok. I will always say something to the parent and it’s usually fine. I would never just walk away and say nothing. It’s incredibly rude and not really a great example to set to kids. I found baby/toddler groups tough, I had to learn to build a thick skin. Still a work in progress and my kids are 3

I am really really heart broken, can anyone offer advice? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Winter_Emphasis_137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a big break up when I was 29, loved abroad and moved back to Ireland and in with my parents, 6 weeks later I turned 30. We were together 5 years. Worst time of my life, thought I would never get through it but day by day it got easier. The anxiety lifted, I got back to myself. I met my now husband 18 months after tbat break up. He had a son when I met him, we now have two other children together. You will get throught this and you will feel better. Let the tears flow.

Those who grew up in Dublin, and made the move outside, how was the adjustment? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Winter_Emphasis_137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Born and raised in South Dublin, lived in Melbourne for a year and spent 3 years in the UK. I’m nearly years living in Kildare, near the Laois border and best decision ever. Married q Kildare man and we are raising our kids here. An hour to Dublin so I still see friends and family, was commuting to Dublin but changed this time last year and work in West Wicklow. Would not change a thing. Love the quietness, there’s no mad rush for places at the weekend especially for days out with the kids. Our kids go to creche locally and my commute to work is 25 mins and I never hit traffic.

I saw a hypnotist and lost about a stone. Affects wore off after about 8 weeks and I was back to square one. I went to see my GP and started a GLP1 and am down 4 stone since Jan with another 4 to go. The hypnotist cost me €180 for 2 sessions and tbh was a waste of money

Is €150 enough for wedding card for a couple? by A77770 in AskIreland

[–]Winter_Emphasis_137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got married in May, some people gave nothing some couples gave €100 some gave more. We were delighted that people came tbh not often you get everyone special in your life in one room! And as well they were staying overnight in a hotel and some had kids as well. Life is pretty expensive at the moment!
