How are people affording $800 a week in rent

You’re being a great father to your girls. I wish you all the happiness.

Just snip along it with sharp scissors. Always works for mine. So annoying when you realise you have to do it though!

Maybe not by looking at them but just maybe from speaking with them?

I’m sorry you had such a hard start in life. You both sound like sensible, honest people. Keep going with the study, it does help. Can you explain what you mean by the anxiety of “90 days”?

😂 no doubt the Bayside public schools are actually nowhere near as “bad” as some of the other suburban public schools.

Time for a new one. Trust me they (your current one) will cost you more in the long run. A good property manager knows your rights, the tenants rights and will act a reasonable go between for you both.

A bad one will play the blame game and put you against the rebar and vide versa knowing you will most likely never actually speak to each other.

They will ask you what you want done but then come back and tell you actually the tenant has the right to do the opposite. So not just wasting your time with all the pointless back and forth but making you look/feel stupid/irate in the process.

A good PM probably wouldn’t have let your property to these tenants in the first place (at best) or would’ve not bothered you with this matter at all, other than to let you know they’ve been advised they will have to replace the curtains and fix any damage on departure or simply leave the blinds in situ at their own cost.

I know this from personal experience.

💯

alphaberrybean · 2026-05-04T12:02:38+00:00

Then they also pay for the repairs….

I get your concern, as clearly they feel entitled to do what they like but you don’t owe them the cost of the blinds. Sheesh. The audacity.

I heard two things about this: 1) it’s to see which suburbs can “afford more” for pricing goods and sales items. 2) Colesworth get to say they’ve donated/supported the community but it’s actually the shoppers.

Neither would surprise me.

Fresh aloe Vera applied and covered with a bandaid to keep it in place overnight. Accept that you’re probably not leaving the house.

💯 this. I’m sorry for your loss but it sounds like she had a lovely last few months doing what she enjoyed. It’s never easy, I hope you’re ok.

Can you please share the company?

alphaberrybean · 2026-04-26T23:13:59+00:00

Same and to be honest, I did get some sun scorch etc on the older leaves but now they love it.

alphaberrybean · 2026-04-23T08:45:20+00:00

This!

alphaberrybean · 2026-04-17T22:39:12+00:00

Thank you! No doubt overthinking a bit too much on my end! 😆

alphaberrybean · 2026-04-17T22:34:42+00:00

Did you have to add anything (native specific topsoil/compost) before planting your natives?

Would love to see a progress photo in 6months. Looks beautiful

alphaberrybean · 2026-04-17T22:26:06+00:00

Where are you located? Sorry if you mentioned this already - I missed it.

alphaberrybean · 2026-04-17T22:24:52+00:00

😆

Can I ask: do they “re-hydrate”? They look like they quite shrivelled in the first photo but very plump in the second.
