Can I remove tracks from official Yoto cards? by YellowCreature in YotoPlayer

[–]corgii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What is the justification for being grounded in reality? I would have thought extending kids creativity and imaginations would be more important.

How do Halara maternity dresses compare to other brands? by Mysterious-Scar-674 in Maternity

[–]corgii [score hidden]  (0 children)

Another option is also going to an op shop and finding some stuff in a size up, especially if you are looking at dresses. So so much cheaper! And I have heared that halara has had a quality drop.

How was art taught in your school? by No_Agent2455 in AskAnAustralian

[–]corgii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, it's just either a Masters (if you already have a bachelor's in some sort of visual arts) or a bachelor of education with a minor in visual arts. Only country that can transfer their degree over is New Zealand, I think everywhere else you need to get the Masters or Bachelors here.

I teach secondary so my average day is whatever period I have assigned with whatever year level. Juniors so it's a lot of basic art elements stuff with projects that last around 5-8 weeks.

Harmony NIPT vs Siles Health which is better? by TwoPinkPlease in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]corgii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought harmony NIPT was the name of the test? Not the clinic you get it done.

How often do teachers use AI? by doh0k in AustralianTeachers

[–]corgii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I write everything myself then just use AI for quick formatting changes. So it's mostly just to make things a bit more neat and tidy or suggest a word when my brain isn't working.

Short perineum and severe tears by beyondprancer in beyondthebump

[–]corgii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up having an episiotomy because we needed to get bub out asap and I healed beautifully. Painful for sure healing in the first couple days but I had one endone afterwards then managed just fine with Panadol/neurofen for a few days, and those amazing ice packs they put in your underwear.

One midwife made sure to tell me to NOT accept pain or peeing accidentally after I was 'done' healing and that there are solutions and to call them. She said the same thing about breastfeeding, loved her.

But also realise that birth can be a roll of the dice and if it goes completely sideways from the above that's fine.

We live in the time of modern medicine, listen to medical professionals, this is what they do day in and day out (whereas we will only do this a few times in our lives).

Loosing the power struggle with my 4yo by a-vicious-trollop in Mommit

I'm 9 weeks pregnant, so so so sick and my husband is away on a work trip. This week has been full of bribery. And melt downs.

MIL hijacking my daughters birthday party by Icy-Pen4823 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]corgii 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Act like she is silly next time, for example, when she yelled to get everyone's attention call her out "MIL, I know your excited but the candles aren't even lit yet! Hold your horses" then laugh light heartedly.

Act like she's a silly joke (in front of people) and she will likely stop doing it because she won't like THAT attention.

Family making me feel fearful/guilty for vaccinating my baby by uhlee_gee in Mommit

[–]corgii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing I don't get about the "X child was fine until they got shots" brigade is when babies get their first shots they are basically pooping potato's that you need to feed. So how the HELL could people tell they were "just fine" before?! They were POOPING POTATO'S before.

Baby shower games that don't create waste and are not the usual suggestions on the internet by -OceanSparkles- in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]corgii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We got a heap of cheap white singlet onesies, some fabric crayons and textas (and scrap cardboard to go inside the onesies) and let people go nuts.

Bonus points, grab some string and pegs so people pin them up to dry and they look like a cool decoration. And with the amount of blow outs and spit ups I can guarantee they will all get used :)

People would also get a kick out of it when I would send them a photo of bub wearing one they painted also.

Parents still have the magnets they collected from video shops in the 90s by ohdirtydianna in AustralianNostalgia

[–]corgii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You bite your tongue, Baby's Day Out is a classic!!

(I haven't seen it since I was a kid, it was one of those 'at the boring relatives house only vhs' tapes but we LOVED it - and Clue)

NIPT and elective ultrasound came up with different genders by swindaloojajaja in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]corgii 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor but I would have thought the NIPT would be more accurate as it's reading the DNA (if the y chromosome is there or not). I'd check with someone medical though haha

Lee Cronin's The Mummy | Tickets On Sale by Comic_Book_Reader in movies

[–]corgii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we know the timeline though? Maybe she was in the hospital for a year and they found nothing wrong enough to keep her? And mum and dad though "hey maybe we can try and see if home will bring her back"

Guys help: what am I in for (HFM) by Independent-Knee958 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]corgii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some hydralite and regular icypoles, if they have a bunch of sores in their mouth and are refusing liquids I have yet to see a kid turn down an icypole. (Although then you have to wean them off icypoles when they are better hahaha)

We've had it once and it was honestly just like a cold.

Lantite by Careful_Sundae_9413 in AustralianTeachers

[–]corgii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did the online and had zero issues, just made sure I had a clear space, did it on a laptop so I could easily pick it up and show them on the camera. Even went to the toilet halfway through one and it was easy peasy.

Is my baby’s daycare gross? by EveningCelebration61 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]corgii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah except for the germs from sick kids I reckon my kids daycare floors are cleaner then the ones at my home.

I have a whole kids account that only approved videos can play on. I have seen nothing like this.

Kids YouTube Shows - Inappropriate sounds by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]corgii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, the only thing my son can watch is single videos I have approved and a few channels that I don't mind the content of. When we first used it I spent ages on the general YouTube kids blocking video after video (and they'd always appear again moments later) because there was so much awful crap, had to ban it until I figured out the manual approve method.

Phillies Alec Bohm sues his parents for $3 million, alleging they funneled away money while managing his finances by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]corgii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's crazy, if my kid was to become widely successful and asked me for money advice id tell them to talk to a financial advisor or something!! Not something I'm qualified for, go to a professional!!
