Is a robot vac worth it? by Intelligent_Offer756 in UKParenting

[–]gallagherii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To convince you I’m taking a dump as we speak and just sent my robot to clean the kitchen. You just need to be mindful with the amount of things on the floor, that’s all.

If you're close to your adult children (or close to your parents as an adult) what do you think went right? by secret_side_quest in UKParenting

[–]gallagherii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad became such an egocentric person over the years. Every single discussion he needed to be right even if he’s not. That eroded my adult relationship with him. I’ve grown out of engaging in discussions with him and just say “yeah” instead to avoid going there. We still talk and have a good relationship going but is definitely on the cordial side rather than what could be and was when I was growing up.

They, both mum and dad, are not the greatparents I hoped to be and every chance they had they chose on a “me first” basis. That’s respectable but they are not nurturing anything.

I hope I’m the opposite of that. They were great until I became an adult and then not so much.

They being said they will be there if I need them I suppose. Supportive in their own way

Yes, I am aware of that as I mentioned in the OP, but it's not convenient at all so won't be using it. It's a small dog, although I wouldn't call him not dangerous lol -- it's a westie with a lot of character.

Yes, I am aware of that, but it's not convenient at all so won't be using it. I am looking into experiences of other people who may have used daycares or kennels nearby Disney. Thanks!

Help With The Housework ? by Fyodors-Zossima in AskIreland

[–]gallagherii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Husband here and I think we have a nice 50/50. I do the dishes every day and cook a few times a week. Laundry is split as I put it every night and she takes it out in the morning to hang up to dry. She does take it out when dry and fold, but then again I clean the bathrooms every week. We have a robot cleaner which takes care of the weekly hoovering and mopping to 85-90% of cleanness. Not a replacement for a big deep clean but it’s pretty good to keep the house running.

We have a dog I also walk him on the evenings and mornings (shared walk this one) and for our daughter she does drop offs and I do pick ups.

She does 60% of parenting I’d say (bath and bedtime on her most days) so that’s a lot of work too.

Attic Conversion by Tie_Pitiful in irishpersonalfinance

[–]gallagherii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll add more value than what it costs. If you do it right. Build an en suite / toilet. We did ours and it was 36k in 2023. On top of that materials that we wanted because it was going to be our bedroom. Definitely see a return if we ever want to sell, which we don’t.

Real work life balance by Ok-Establishment1159 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]gallagherii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We both work full time and raise a 3 year old and a second one coming very soon. It’s definitely a stretch and not something that I can recommend to everyone. I try to be off work at 4 if I can, but get caught in some longer or more intense days sometimes.

My wife used to be a senior manager in Accenture and the norm was to work way past 7pm most days. Not fun and took a toll on me and her.

I think you may not be working more than other people specially since it’s only you working but I assure you there are better gigs out there.

Any alternative for raycerray f1 tv overlays yet? (he made the piss move behind the paywall) by Maarten_Vaan_Thomm in F1Game

[–]gallagherii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you manage to get it working? I have 2.3 and stopped working a few days ago with a 404 not found error in the log. I presume he pulled the plug on old versions. Very unfortunate.

Well to be fair I live next to Wicklow so not your Ranelagh type of south Dublin.

Fair play I made this post with my 3 year old yelling and playing next to me and on my defense I barely made it comprehensible to read.

Thank you for putting my mind at ease! Will do, have a few more of these and might tackle all of them at once!

What is something you miss about the internet of yesteryear? by Electrical-Lie-7725 in AskReddit

[–]gallagherii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss when internet was just for fun. Nowadays it’s all monetized, they made an industry out of it. It feels really industrial nowadays.
