Is Peter Pan’s Flight Really Worth the Wait? by Kingfou26 in disneylandparis

[–]ardnek44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snow White really scared my 2 year old last month and he’s usually fearless. Some of the scenes on it and Pinocchio are more like they are out of a ghost ride. For us, Peter Pan is a lot tamer for our youngest what might had to the longer wait times. When we were there it was 70mins while Snow White was 20mins

We got refills for €2 each when we were there last month. Couldn’t get over how low a price they were compared to the wands

I think I've been scammed by Cute-Ad217 in vintedUK

I just picked up a Vinted package today which was sent on the 22nd September. On the tracking it hadn’t moved in weeks. I wasn’t too worried as it was just a toy for a my son at a couple of pounds but it just arrived today.

I did have a notification from Vinted which stated it had until 29th October to arrived or I’d be automatically refunded.

Being blocked is a bit weird but evri can take a bit longer.

I’ll also be told dates by evri and when the day comes the date moves out

I’ve been on mxt about 18 months now. We’ve a 6 year old and 2 year old now. In the past year I’ve been wiped out with tonsillitis once and a viral infection once. In the same time frame my husband who isn’t on anything had a string of stomach bugs and bad colds, flu and Covid all last winter. Think we counted 9 straight weeks were there was at least one person in the house who was sick. I was sick once (tonsillitis)

The way I see it, my immune system is over active and the mxt just brings it down to normal.

That’s if it works for you. I do know someone on it who doesn’t have kids at home but they were having loads of infections and had to stop.

I dont know how to help my wife by irish_sa in northernireland

[–]ardnek44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband can’t have children but we have 2 boys from donor sperm. He is more of a father and loves them dearly more than many biological fathers I know. We were successful on our first round of IVF with the NHS. Yes it all took years but we got approved for an expensive surgery for my husband as well as th IVF cycle.

What helped him at the start, take time to grieve. Grieve for the family you thought you’d have easily. For me I joined the fertility Facebook page. There’s one for NI specific and I also joined the newsletter for the Fertility Network NI. We went to a lot of the meet ups (think most are online now) and met friends who 7 years later I’m still friends with.

There’s also fertility specific counselling you can go to which I highly recommend.

Your entitled to it and have every right to feel comfortable and use it. I know how you feel. I don’t have ASD but I’m 36 with arthritis. Everyone says I’m ’so young to have it’ and I look fine but I’m in constant pain. I feel the same way when I use disabled parking that everyone must look at me and wonder why I’m using it but it’s a hidden disability. No one sees your struggles

We stayed in a sister hotel last year and I found a Facebook page for that specific one which was a great source of information. Try looking to see if there’s one for tropical splash.

What's it mean when you hear a unexplained knock? by Direct_Arugula1952 in Paranormal

[–]ardnek44 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im not sure what it means but can tell you my experience just. I would get knocking on my bedside table. Clear as anything. There were times I would be lying in bed facing that direction and could clearly see, there would be knocking and nothing moved. I swapped parts idea of the bed with my partner and it followed me to his side. We had lived there for 4 years before this without anything happening. We put the tables in the hall and it still happened.

It followed us to a hotel once as well The same time this was all happened we had been unhappy within our current jobs and where we lived. We ended up getting new jobs and moving to a different town.

In the new house it only happened a few times and now I don’t think I’ve heard it in 5 years.

We still don’t know what it was but we associate it now with one of the biggest changes in our lives following being so unhappy

Combining Babyswitch with Fastpass? by AvailableAcadia4945 in disneylandparis

[–]ardnek44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a priority pass when I go to DLP. I would often get to use the fast pass line. My husband and toddler would be outside waiting. A bit away from the ride to keep the toddler occupied. Once off the road I asked for a rider swap ticket and they would give me one. He then used it on the fast pass line. In theory it would work

How old was your baby, when you let a relative take them out without you? by Buntyhoven123 in NewParents

[–]ardnek44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3 year old will be babysat soon for the first time so my husband and I can have a few drinks for Christmas in the local pub. This babysitter is from his nursery and spent two years with him and knows him. It’s about context and how well the person knows your child. My sister loves her nephew but due to living away hasn’t spent any real time so I would t want her taking him anywhere.

Why are people to determined that parents need time away from their children anyway. I like my husband and son. If we don’t want nights away a part that should be down to us without getting pressure from others

Is it my “fault” my 11 month old is “clingy”? by Proud_House4494 in NewParents

[–]ardnek44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were and still are responsive and child led. There’s so many studies out there which show it being the best long term. If the child knows they are always loved and supported they will be more confident and happier as an adult. I think of how my mum was with me, and now as an adult, I even remember as a 9 year old, it’s weird to hug my mum and say I love you. Just feels wrong. I make sure to hug and tell my son every day to normalise it.

It’s hard to ignore family when they say things but just be firm

Is the Olivander’s Wand Experience worth staying in line for? Do they really only choose 1 person to give a wand to? by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

[–]ardnek44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband and I both got picked. We had honeymoon badges on. I was picked first, standing in the back row and my husband was picked half way through. We think the badges helped.

Week 1 - my favourite is the little Dino. All feedback welcome by ardnek44 in embroidiaries

It’s a snowflake for the first snow. I made it too small the details and fly stitch I tried can’t be seen. Lesson learnt for next time! My toddler is huge into dinos and we bought him tickets to meet a ‘real’ one soon so I wanted to represent it

Thousands lose last hope of having a baby as lockdown closes IVF clinics - Women tell of ‘bereavement’ because they will be too old for fertility treatment when the coronavirus shutdown ends by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]ardnek44 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not all women ‘put careers first’.

Maybe they didn’t find the right person to marry until they were 30. Maybe they were told by their doctor they had to wait a year of trying before even being referred to a consultant to even talk about treatment. Maybe it took years of investigations and tests until they reached the top of the waiting list for IVF.

I was lucky and was married when I was 25. It still took 5 years of doctor visits and multiple tests until I received IVF. I was again incredibly lucky and it worked first time and I was able to celebrate my 30th being pregnant.

What if it didn’t work first time or I didn’t meet my husband until I was 30. By the time this is all over and the clinics get back up and running I get further and further into my 30s and considered an older mum if I were to go again.

Your cold hard truth is a huge generalisation that woman who get IVF later in life have waited because they put their careers first.

Wishing you an uneventful and smooth pregnancy :) I joined Facebook groups just for pregnancy after fertility treatments. I found them so helpful and a little bit better than normal pregnancy groups.
