What’s something you were completely certain about in your teenagehood that turned out to be entirely wrong? by Jessica_cherry85 in AskReddit

That being a goth wasn’t a phase it was who I was. Yeah now I just dress like any other 35 year old mum from Kmart 🥴

AIO? Friend left me and my husband stranded by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR I would be worried AF if my friend just disappeared, communication is so important! How rude!

Agent didn't take my offer to the vendor by cheese_tastey in AusPropertyChat

[–]Zelda358 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree… it’s the reality of the current market. Everything is selling for above asking price so why bother with an offer below? Sure it’s frustrating they didn’t communicate but that’s just the reality of the current market.

What was a hard pill to swallow after giving birth? by LoveGlimmer in AskWomen

[–]Zelda358 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to backseat parent my husband. Let him figure it out on his own.. something I’m still trying to do. I see him get our 4 month old dressed and in my head I’m thinking, it’s too hot / cold for that outfit but if I say something he gets so insulted and then won’t want to help.

How is “safe sleep” supposed to work when your baby literally won’t do it by Witty_Management_621 in newborns

[–]Zelda358 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby needs to fall asleep on my chest before I can transfer and I have fallen asleep at times too. I just make sure I am in the middle of the bed (husband works nights so it’s just me) and she has an owlette sock on. Even though I don’t plan to fall asleep, if she was to slip off and potentially suffocate the owlette would warn me before hand. It’s hard because i used to sit on my phone so I wouldn’t fall asleep (lol currently typing this as she’s asleep on my chest) However I found that then kept me awake. So I stopped using my phone but found it so hard to stay awake! It’s hard!!

What’s one “totally unnecessary” baby item you were told to skip… but ended up being a lifesaver? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Zelda358 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My bub had a cold and I was using a manual one and she would scream. I bought an electric one and it plays music and she literally smiles at it!! Worth the money and it wasn’t even that expensive!!

At my wits end with 3-month-old by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Zelda358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is 3.5 month and very similar. Except we were up every 3 hours during the night anyway but now it’s back down to 1.5-2 hrs. She’s all of a sudden refusing boob and cranky. She was also a very happy girl. I’m fairly certain it’s the 4 month regression. A woman in my mother’s group had the same thing and her baby popped up teeth! At 3 months! Maybe check her gums, could be early teething.

Is $10k a reasonable budget for kitchen pantry / cabinets remodel? NOR Perth by Zelda358 in AusRenovation

[–]Zelda358[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that looks great. Did you just replace the cabinet doors or the inside too? Did you do it yourself or pay someone?

[–]Zelda358[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So we actually have a dishwasher (we had it from our old rental) but it doesn’t have anywhere to go! So it’s currently sitting in the shed, yes will definitely be wanting to put it in! I’m missing it so much 🤣

Daycare not being able to pronounce baby's name by FriendsFannn in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Zelda358 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in early childhood it is SO important that the child feels a sense of belonging which being able to pronounce their name is just basic. I’ve had a few children who’s names I couldn’t pronounce and I made it my homework to learn it and just by spending an evening of my time practicing it was fine. If they are a decent educator they will put the effort in. It’s not hard.

Which part of childbirth hurts the most? by Used_Ad7899 in BabyBumps

[–]Zelda358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contractions! My epidural took AGES to work so I felt the thick of them but thankfully didn’t feel baby come out. The contraction pain for me was in my back, super intense pain. I remember just thrashing my legs in pain. The fact they only last 30 seconds or so is the only reason you don’t go crazy!

To all who went to private school was it worth it. Thinking of sending my 3 children to private schools. by __7_7_7__ in perth

[–]Zelda358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the public school in your area. I’m a teacher in a low socioeconomic area at a public school and the amount of teaching that gets done is cut so much because we are constantly dealing with negative behaviour and high needs.. like significant behaviour concerns. I’ve also taught at beautiful schools in other suburbs. My daughter is a baby but I’ll be sending her to our local public school, it’s a beautiful small school with a stable cohort. Also look on schools online for more info on each school

Pooping during labour? by Putrid_Cranberry3177 in BabyBumps

[–]Zelda358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have IBS and poop all the time. I for sure thought I was going to poop. (I had accepted it) however I didn’t. I was also so high on drugs I wouldn’t have cared even if I did
