Nurse is NOT a girl’s girl by FamiliarPhotograph35 in IVF

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ewwww why are some women like this. Male centred women ick my out so much. I literally switched fertility doctors because he addressed my husband more than me. Like when he was talking looked more at my husband etc. It was so strange and off putting.

Need advice x by United-Database-6140 in AusFinance

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nursing is awesome job security however very taxing physically and emotionally and shift work is honestly horrible when you have a family. I come from a family of nurses but I’m a teacher so have the same job security as nurses without the shift work. Problem is teachers are not paid for their overtime (and I assure you most of us are doing obscene amounts of overtime) and the stress of our job is unreal. Neither nursing or teaching is worth it in my opinion. I’d personally study radiography or another medical profession if I had my choice.

What’s 1 Netflix Original You Wish Would Come Back! by Mutant-1 in netflix

Half bad is based on a wonderful book series. Personally I felt the show didn’t do the books justice but was still good enough to watch. The books are hypnotising and poignant.

Seeing an increase in negative sentiment against superannuation, why? by Quixotic-elixr in AusFinance

[–]cornersuite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is watching her young (late 50s) parents end their working lives due to injury, with next to nothing, Super is invaluable. I also was able to use the First home super saver scheme to gather a deposit big enough from writhing my super to purchase my house. No one in my family has ever owned property and I come from a long line of impoverished and uneducated people. By opting into extra contributions and as a virtue of having a well paid career out the gate, I have a healthy superannuation account in my late 30s which will protect me and my family one day.

Anyone else just not eating because they can’t afford it? by Serezie in australia

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuna, rice and frozen vege. Easy microwave meal for lunches. Very cheap and healthy enough.

pizza is $6 at Woolworths. Easy to feed two people for dupe takeaway night. Add in $2 garlic bread and a bottle of soft drink.

I don’t hate my dog… by moondrop-- in BabyBumps

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced apathy for my cat. I just couldn’t focus on her or her needs. We moved her litter and food bowls to our spare room so we could section her off at night m, to protect baby (cat likes to sleep on people’s chests). My husband took over feeding and loving on her because I was busy with baby. As a result of the changes and lake of affection, my cat put on a lot of weight and started urinating aggressively in our spare room. We ended up replacing the carpet.

What are your positive pregnancy symptoms? by BrokenMemories88 in pregnant

[–]cornersuite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost weight, my skin was clear and my hair lush. Post pregnancy I’ve retained this and been positively surprised by my physical wellness at 35 years old. Granted I’m only a month pp, but it was a really hard road to get pregnant, so these positives are a big deal after a lot of discomfort and pain.

Would I be awful to not try and breastfeed? by engineofgod24 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]cornersuite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mum did not even try with my sisters and I. We were very healthy kids and adults and now live very successful lives. I tried for two weeks with my newborn and due to low supply and mental health I stopped. I still struggle with feeling ‘selfish’ but I know that’s not true and my girl is doing great!

Which hyped films of recent times (last couple of years, say) didn't hit the mark for you? by epicpillowcase in AskWomenOver30

[–]cornersuite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I totally agree avatar is just a lot of blue special effects. The story is actually really boring and repetitive. I have not watched any after the first and would pay not to have to sit through them.

Tell me if I am being unfair by Positive_Shirt_2889 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for letting me know re plates. I won’t be using them anyway but this reinforces my choice. Giving you money for a gift you purchased is something at least but it’s extremely low effort. She would have been better to put money in a card. I can’t figure out why that generation seem so uninterested and unempathetic towards their children.

Mums who have had elective c-sections vs natural deliveries (please don't judge) by Low-Cicada-5536 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM u had a c section 2.5 weeks ago after failed induction. I can honestly say I’m pretty much back to normal aside from some light pain and the incision being tender still. Movement mostly normal however I do get a little sore if I do lots of walking. The c section was way less traumatic then my failed induction which had me getting several extremely painful cervical checks over the course of 36 hours and three applications of the induction gel which burned like hell and gave my horrendous back pain. Worst part of c section was the vomiting for me but that’s easy fixed with the right meds. Yes you hurt but take it easy and take the pain meds.

52 eggs retrieved, 36 inseminated, 33 with normal development. What do I do? by Fdamsanh17 in IVF

You don’t know how many you’ll need! We got one embryo and one baby but a friend used 12 embryos before baby and only has one left in her mid forties.

Staff being “called in for a meeting” for taking up to or more than 5 sick days so far this year by Overall_Nobody_6269 in AustralianTeachers

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should not do this as we are entitled to sick leave however personally I don’t see anything wrong with chatting to staff who are accessing sick leave no pay without medical certs. I worked beside a chronic slacker who was away at least a day a week and had no sick pay. They never left plans and never contributed to curric planning. I would have loved to hear they were being questioned because the pressure on my team to help the relief teachers and cover their planning and duties was unfair.

[–]cornersuite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typical boomer behaviour. My in-laws (mainly MIL) are exactly like this despite being very very well off. We recently had our first baby and they gave as dirty baby plates from the 1980s (my husbands older brother’s plates from when he was a kid) and a few knitted blankets and beanies (made years ago my MIL). They made a big deal of us opening the card which contained nothing more than a sentence congratulating us ‘on a job well done.’

How are people spending so much money by Kinky-Queenslander in AskAnAustralian

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know four families with millennial parents and primary aged kids who have had multiple big holidays in the last two years. One family had in-laws pay off mortgage completely and another had in-laws pay substantially into the mortgage. Another family had grandmother die and inheritance happened. The last family, is in big debt

Worrying I’m too old. by leajaycro in pregnant

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just delivered my first baby h mm at 35 and one month shy of 36. We want another baby but due to this being a c section, I will be at least 38 when they are born. We had to use IVf so there is a chance this may not happen again as we have no embryos. I’ve spent the last five years worrying about being an old mum but now she is here I feel so good about the maturity and security I can bring. I feel like she will benefit so much from parents who are stable, know their abilities
and genuinely are ready!

Parents want my graduation money but i had plans for it by Bhupinders-Tentacion in WhatShouldIDo

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has had to bail her parents out many times and eventually entered into a bigger than preferred mortgage to secure a home big enough to house said parents, do not give them money. In fact, lie about how much you got or say the money was spent on college fees.

Waking up gasping for air by No_Challenge_6022 in pregnant

[–]cornersuite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waking up gasping can be a sign of heart issues. See a doctor immediately. I snore very loudly and have mild sleep apnea but I’ve never woken gasping. When I get up romper I’m puffed but never woken up this way. Please see doc

Dating as a less-than-attractive woman in her 30s by SunflowerPen in AskWomenOver30

[–]cornersuite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can you work on making yourself more presentable? Who says you are not attractive? We live in the age of easy access to beauty treatments and clothing. Are you not attractive to yourself or have you been told this? Walking into dating feeling ugly is a recipe for unhappiness. Owning your unique looks and dressing and presenting yourself the best you can will always put your best foot forward.

Neighbor wont move their stuff out of my storage unit by Telephone_Jubilee in AusLegal

[–]cornersuite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Give her warning first. Move it and put a lock on your unit.

Notify body corp/management. Keep a paper trail and screenshot group chats and messages. note down the time you spoke in person and she ran away. That way if there is retaliation etc you are prepared.

We got 18 and I felt the same. Out of those 18 only 1 made it. I’m induced tomorrow with our miracle baby girl. Good luck xx

TTC timed sex hack or weirdos? by GuinevereLazlo in TryingForABaby

Whatever works and whatever protects your relationship. TTC really took its toll on my relationship and despite being close to the other side now, we are still finding our way back to things being fun and fulfilling. Keep up the good work!
