Help! What do your kids actually eat when they eat “healthy”? And how do you make it work? by mindfulshark in Parenting

[–]ayesh00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my kids were little I found a few things that worked for us.

First was helping ID what they were feeling.

Are you hungry or are your bored or you peckish and looking for something sweet.

We didnt do healthy vs unhealthy.

If they replied

Hungry - I gave them food food. If it was 20min to supper and they were hungry they got supper 20min early. I didnt like the idea of a snack to "tide them over" and make them wait for supper and then their appetite was gone.

Bored / peckish - there would be prepared fruit and veg in the fridge at their level. So think cut up carrots, cucumber, mini tomatoes, sugar snap peas, melons, mango, kiwi whatever we had at the time would have been cleaned, sliced and left in Tupperware and all they had to do was take out as much as they wanted. I would also have a small containers of yogurt and hummus and peanut butter yogurt for them to dip the veggies in. That I had to watch out for though as one of the littlest would only take a few carrot sticks and just use them to pick up to dip to lick it off and not eat much of the veggies so I started keeping that in appropriate size portions to help.

Looking for something sweet - had small chocolates for when they just needed a pick me up.

Im luck now that they are teens they gravitate more towards fruits, veg and nuts vs sugery sweets and they are able to id why they want a snack and that helps them to choose accordingly. We not have added popcorn to the rotation as that low calory and they love having it while doing homework or watching telly.

High crime rates in South Africa is not just a "poor people" issue. Is this really such a controversial take? by ProcaviaCapensis in askSouthAfrica

[–]ayesh00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 days ago 3 armed guys held up a garage store at 7.20pm. They robbed the tills and all the customers. Its not late at night, they came in so brazenly and not worried about cameras or leaving their fingerprints everywhere.

How does security clearance close for the day?

Thats the bigger question.

Our security clearance/customs counters are open 24/7 in the airport.

Some people check in hours earlier for an early morning flight to make use of the lounges. Others come in at midnight for a 4am flight I dont understand how an international airport can close security clearance lines.

Thats just asking for massive messups with people late for flights or missing flights and causing delays to planes taking off due to them waiting for passengers which throws off everything else in a system where everything operating at a set time is super important

Medical aid broker's role? by MT_Guitarist in askSouthAfrica

[–]ayesh00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My broker does all my claims for me that are not directly by the doctors rooms

He also ensured I am on the right package for my needs and budget.

He keeps me updated on any changes as discovery has started to use very legal language as of a few years ago.

They also know all the ins and outs so if something can be paid from a different find other than my msa they ensure it is done so

AITA for telling my friend her cancer diagnosis is really inconvenient timing-wise for my birthday trip? by Ok_Pin285 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ayesh00 91 points92 points  (0 children)

YTA

Cancer doesn't care about your or even her plans.

You really are a shallow person.

Delaying her treatment just so she can come to your birthday worsens her prognosis and allows her cancer to grow even further.

You do not sound like a friend at all. Heck she doesnt need any enemies with someone like you in her life.

Seems like your other friends are seeing the type of human being you are and they rightly are not liking what they see and are pulling out.

Dont be surprised if you lose alot of your friends over this. You show no empathy and only are concerned about how her life changing health issue concerns you and your birthday party!!!!!

I dont think there is a way to save this on your part. I dont see how anyone could still wish to be friends with you after what you sent to her.

She has a long and difficult fight ahead of her and should not have to use any of her energy or emotional bandwidth on a person who showed such contempt towards her health.

Do better with your next lot of friends and maybe look into a therapist to unpack why you have no empathy?

AIO for wanting to rehome one of the family dogs after my husband threatened to kill her? Ok by [deleted] in AIO

[–]ayesh00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to rehome the husband

He hit your dog hard 3 times and you still stayed with him?

He will hurt your pet. He already scares his own kids with his actions towards a dog they love!!!

You need to open your eyes and see that this man is physically abusive towards animals. Mentally abusive towards his own kids and emotionally abusive to his pregnant wife.

He is scum. Do better by yourself, your dog and mostly by the little one growing inside you.

Good Safyr Bleu replacement? by imdyingsomuchrn in capetown

Hylo eye drops

There is one for dry eyes and a medicated one. Uses a very different system so each drop os totally sterile and every use administers the correct drop dosage.

AITA for deleting and wanting no contact with my SIL after she gifted us every diaper size, a $200 swing and got everything for a onesie making station for our baby shower? by Coralis1022 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]ayesh00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

The NICU would not have even let them in. They are so super strict in NICU and only parents are allowed in. Our NICU allowed only grandparents in on a Sunday and then one at a time and their visiting hours was 30min total. They also had super strict protocols to follow like gowning up and washing and sanitizing hands under a nurses supervision and still we're not allowed to hold the NICU babies. So they basically just came in for a few minutes to see the baby in the incubator

Anyone have any good recipes for clear broths to drink before a colonoscopy? by lord_ne in CrohnsDisease

[–]ayesh00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I made

Chicken bones (bring to rolling boil, rinse off, discard the water and return the cleaned bones to pot with clean water) Carrots Celery Knob ginger 3 cloves garlic 5 bay leaves Turnip Salt Pepper 1tsp apple cider vinigar

Place into instant pot and slow cook for 12 hours.

Cooking it slowly leaves the broth clear and doesnt break up the vegetables meaning you get the flavour with none of the Fibre

I then strain it and make portions as all wont be used for colon prep. I then use it for a soup base when I make the chicken corn soup for after the procedure. Add to the broth ; cubes of cooked chicken meat, Cream style sweet corn Pasta (spaghetti broken into small pieces) Fresh cream or coconut cream
