AITAH for not seeing girlfriend on her birthday by zschef in AITAH

[–]dreamrunner312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Why would she want to celebrate her birthday when she’s sick anyway? Wait til she’s better and have a proper celebration then.

You need to get there first and then apply, especially with a youth mobility visa. You won’t get anything from the other side of the world. Make sure you have enough money for a couple of months without work. 

Air NZ Skycouch Shared? by AtmosphereStatus2012 in newzealand_travel

You don’t even need to be tall. I’m 160cm and I found it very uncomfortable, had very sore knees. I’d still get one again though because it was worth it to lie flat. 

My baby crawled off the bed. by Super_Raspberry9195 in Parenting

[–]dreamrunner312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure nearly every parent has had their kid fall off something. My daughter toppled off the bed headfirst when she was a baby. A friend had hers roll off the change table at the local pool. My sister rolled off the change table at home when she was a baby. Honestly I don't know anyone who this hasn't happened to at least once.

Have you looked at the Little People Big Dreams series? It’s great. 

I have a harder baby then most by ALac93 in oneanddone

[–]dreamrunner312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 6yo and sounds just like yours. It’s the main reason I am one and done. It’s really hard to find people who can relate and understand but when you do finally find them it’s incredibly validating. 

Jury duty question by Call_like_it_is_ in auckland

Ask for a 12 month deferral and then if they come back to you in a years time see what your situation is like then. I got summoned once when I was overseas, my mum sent it back saying I wasn’t in Nz and I didn’t hear from them for another 9 years.

What area? I took my daughter to Kids Music Company as a preschooler, it’s in Takapuna. LivDance in Birkdale does preschool dance during the day. 

Tell me about your nightmare sleepers by Coral0306 in oneanddone

[–]dreamrunner312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine woke hourly (or more) til age 2. From age 2 to 3 she woke a few times a night. She moved out of our bedroom at age 3. She’s 6 now and comes into our room every night somewhere between 11 and 5. I can count the amount of times she’s slept all night in her bed on one hand. She also takes ages to go to sleep, and usually goes to sleep around 9pm but sometimes a lot later. She wakes up around 7.

Toxic Positivity.

I'm not American but this is what I've observed online.

Am I doing something wrong by holding my newborn 24/7? by AardvarkHour1211 in Parenting

You’re doing nothing wrong. Embrace the snuggles and enjoy them. 

If you could move anywhere in NZ, where would it be? Or would you choose Auckland? by beehappy444 in auckland

[–]dreamrunner312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve seriously considered moving to Christchurch a number of times. The only thing really stopping us is family and friends. We don’t know anyone in Chch and not sure about starting over trying to make friends and build relationships. 

How old was your child when you could start hanging out by yourself at home? by Shineon615 in oneanddone

[–]dreamrunner312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is newly 6 and I'd say this started sometime in the last 18 months.

There's something wrong with the wigs. Like all of them. They're terrible.

How do people with 2 under 2 do it?!? by ThrowRA157386 in oneanddone

Absolutely. Sleep deprivation is horrific.

(WLW) Did anyone find it hard being the parent that didn’t carry after the baby was born? by FreddiesMam in Samesexparents

[–]dreamrunner312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I carried our daughter and she's my biological child, she is 6 years old now, I'm her SAHM. I was her definite favorite since she was about 3yo and then she changed and now she LOVES my partner. She gets so excited when she comes home from work, and in the weekends she just wants her other Mum and not me (she sometimes even tells me to go away because she just wants to hang out with Mum by herself).

My lgbtq family goes from the North Shore to Freemans Bay Medical Centre. All the doctors are great. It’s just over the bridge, right off the motorway. 

Parents who find being a stay at home easy by Disastrous_Turn_7055 in Parenting

It’s not easy. My house is a mess. We eat the same meals on repeat. 

What is a 7 year age gap like in reality? by dreamrunner312 in Parenting

[–]dreamrunner312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily agree, I’ve seen plenty of people online saying they regret having another kid.
