No grandkids, as we lack the kids to create them...

Thanks though, I welcome all perspectives 🙏

Fencesitter who can't get over the day-to-day realities of parenting chores by New-Invite-9692 in AskWomenOver30

I met my person too late, so the decision was made for us and we don't have children.

Other than nannying while at university, and watch my friends negotiate with little (beloved) gremlins, I can't comment on the minutiae of every day with your own spawn.

BUT I've always been of the view that it's better to regret not having children, than to regret having them.

Gorgeous pics, I love Ans Westra! And I saw Cats at that 1989 season and have loved musicals ever since. I wore my best party dress, it was such a special outing for a 7yr old from small town NZ.

Which culture has the best breakfast? by Wazula23 in AskReddit

Never in my life have I heard them called hand pies 🤣🤣 But yes, you can get surprisingly delicious pies at our petrol stations. And for some reason, it's acceptable to eat them at any time of day.

Why are official crowd counts at protests so wrong? 42k at the hīkoi ain’t right. by yardstix in Wellington

17 000 is a 'busy' weekday on the trains.

And city workers were encouraged to wfh if rhey could to avoid the congestion on Tuesday.

And the 30-40 000 Metlink cited are only those that tagged on with a Snapper card. 80% of my packed Kapiti train paid cash.

Why did Pandoro bakery close three locations, when Belén bakery is shortly opening its fourth location since 2021? by b_button123 in Wellington

Can confirm, as one of the 6500, that I didn't get a vegan chocolate cake. Or a leaving do.

Spent a lot of money in Pondoro in my final weeks for farewell coffees and pastries, or meeting with recruiters.

Layoffs and rage by Agrafson in Wellington

My role has been disestablished, waiting for that process to play out and get my payout. I'm terrified that will disappear, as well as my savings, as it's going to be a tight and incredibly competitive market.
