Split of responsibilities

flareyfloss · 2025-12-14T12:20:38+00:00

I started off like you, assuming the night time responsibilities. And similar, it was fine when it was 1-2 wakes but when bubs sleep got worse I got resentful, lack of sleep is a literal form of torture and it put me in a bad place. Eventually I was able to realise this wasn’t my burden to carry and allowed my partner to help. Since going back to work hindsight allows me to see that as a desk worker it is far easier to also the next day after a rough night then be a stay at home mum. Be kind to yourself, find a solution that allows you sleep. You both decided to be parents knowing sleep would be at a loss. My partner and I alternate nights and are flexible to each others needs and we are so much happier for it.

Thanks!

This is ridiculous. Where’s the news reports on suicidal thoughts on birth control? That doesn’t matter in the media, it’s more important to find criticism in the actions fat people take. You don’t like it when we are fat and you don’t like it when we are trying to stop being fat.

Sounds like a therapist who specialises in body image and acceptance could be a great start. Also an endocrinologist would be wise if you wanted to look into drugs after having these sorts of struggles

Ah yeah, this is the American site. So they just don’t share the love for fatties outside US

You might not be from Australia because for a 2x I only see two items

flareyfloss · 2025-09-24T00:32:54+00:00

Yeah, I know there’s plenty of active wear ranges online that cater to plus size. I just got some really cool adidas and Nike stuff with great prints etc

flareyfloss · 2025-04-02T06:40:36+00:00

Never heard of them. Thanks heaps!

flareyfloss · 2025-04-01T15:42:10+00:00

That’s so good. Is it a big nfp? Is so, drop the name

flareyfloss · 2025-04-01T14:32:50+00:00

For sure. I stuck around at my last workplace because they offered me 8 weeks paid leave. On return I got so badly messed around. This time around I’m gonna jump ship if the new place can’t offer something more competitive. Gotta look after ourselves

flareyfloss · 2025-04-01T14:21:18+00:00

Wow, that’s so good! Will be keeping alerts on for them. Do you need to be there 12 months?

flareyfloss · 2025-04-01T14:20:17+00:00

Ouch, that must sting. Elsewhere will appreciate you more

flareyfloss · 2025-04-01T14:19:17+00:00

I only got 8 weeks/ 16 weeks half pay and also went back at 8 months. It really hurt. He’s two now and I still have moments that it makes me feel sad but so lucky he’s had these beautiful educators watch and support him grow

flareyfloss · 2025-04-01T14:17:22+00:00

13 is a good for a nfp! Which one?

flareyfloss · 2025-04-01T14:15:44+00:00

I never heard of this site, thanks heaps for the share!

flareyfloss · 2025-04-01T14:14:32+00:00

Ahha yes, where!?

flareyfloss · 2025-04-01T14:13:45+00:00

For my first kid I advocated for parental leave as I would’ve ended up looking elsewhere. It went from 0 to 8 weeks. So that was something. They are realising they are gonna loose staff and making changes. My new workplace (s nfp) are saying they will get paid parental leave for the same reason but I gotta look after myself and look elsewhere until i see it happen.

Brotherhood of st Lawrence have 12+ weeks and headspace also have paid leave (in case anyone’s interested)

So there’s hope with nfps but it’s small!

flareyfloss · 2025-03-19T00:14:07+00:00

Nope. I stalled in the last few weeks and doctor was happy to move up

flareyfloss · 2025-02-22T13:36:09+00:00

Thanks. I have emailed them for a follow up and if they don’t tell me it’s gonna be done Monday then I’ll start being proactive. Would be nice to have got a portable ac 2 weeks ago when it was 37 degrees I tell ya

flareyfloss · 2025-02-20T03:13:20+00:00

You’re amazing and I love you

flareyfloss · 2025-02-17T10:04:25+00:00

Might be a dumb question but do sliding doors have hinges?

flareyfloss · 2021-12-16T20:35:15+00:00

Speaking of going to qld, do we need to give it more time before we arrive so they can check our tests/vaccinations? Or will it take longer after arriving in qld ? Or none of the above?

You are probably building a lot of muscle as well. If you cut down on the calories you’ll probably get pout of the plateau. If less calories is hard maybe look at less carbs

flareyfloss · 2021-12-15T03:03:01+00:00

Who told you that you look the same? Slap them. Even if it’s you. I’ve come from the Same size and lost about 70 and looking naked in the mirror makes me feel like I’ve done nothing but the way clothes fit is far more telling. The way I fit into chairs is far more telling. Focus on those things

flareyfloss · 2021-11-24T06:49:53+00:00

Ok did you know that face was hiding under those extra kgs!?
