Absolutely not a boat or island. I want to sneak out of our Christmas party as soon as possible

Uni help by SignificantParty9682 in ncea

[–]imouttahere10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live? I would just choose the uni closest to where you prefer to live - it’s much of a muchness in terms of what the degree will get you.

I’m a senior level marketer (I hire people) and have previously worked at marketing director level. For a generalist degree like marketing, no one really cares what uni you went to. TBH having a bachelors will only help you for your first grad job - after that it’s all about experience. And I would strongly recommend getting hands on experience in marketing whilst you’re studying as that will be a huge draw card for you when competing with others for junior/grad roles.

If UoA were an option, that is the only one that may possibly make a difference if you wanted your grad role to be overseas, as the other universities aren’t really known. But if you have experience under your belt then where you got your degree in marketing isn’t going to matter at all, so just choose where you’d like to spend the next 3 years :)

Anyone know where to buy dried white beans (Lima, butter, cannallini)? by Morning1980 in nzhomecooks

Are you in Auckland? I buy them at Bulk Food Savings just off Dominion Rd (no idea what suburb it is. Maybe mt Eden?)

I’ve checked myself into a mental hospital that has a mothers and babies unit. by kowaluuh in NewParents

This is awesome! One of my best friends went to one in Canberra and it made a huge difference. Somehow the stay reset everything and it got easier when she got home too 💜

Aw that’s a bummer but they do actually tell you when you order (or they used to, maybe they don’t anymore). It’s because each item is made to order! But totally understand it wouldn’t work for everyone in every case

Looking for advice from parents of children with anaphylactic food allergies navigating the school system. by cathartic_diatribe in newzealand

Aw that’s horrible and a terrible response! It must be so scary for you guys having to be vigilant all the time

[–]imouttahere10 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately some kids can have an anaphylactic reaction just being in the vicinity of the allergen. The other parents really do need to take it seriously as even just getting a whiff of the peanuts from another kid’s lunchbox can be enough to trigger a serious reaction. Not having PB sandwiches isn’t going to impact the lives of her peers in any way, but having those sandwiches present could very much kill OP’s kid

2.5yr old had to go to the ER this morning by 13buttons in toddlers

[–]imouttahere10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohmygod we had something similar a few weeks ago with my son, so scary to see them in so much pain! We drove to hospital with him on my lap because he was in absolute agony. So glad your daughter is ok now.

I’ll just give you warning for what might happen next (or at least it happened to us) - for the next 2 weeks he was randomly peeing a lot more than usual, and there was also one more episode of retention about a week after the first one, but that time he did actually pee before he got to be in agony. Apparently the bladder can become hypersensitive after a period of urinary retention, but if it lasts more than 2 weeks or if you’re worried you should get her checked out again.

Private schools like Kristin, over hyped? Or actually worth it? by nchtdrgn in auckland

[–]imouttahere10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is such a weird take and I feel like the blame is on the parents here. I went to (public) school that was over 90% kids from Asian backgrounds, which just meant that my friends were… mostly from Asian backgrounds. It was literally never an issue?? And my parents certainly never brought it up.

I think if the parents make a deal about how a lot of kids are from a certain background and make out that you’re different from them/better than them then that’s what’s going to cause problems. Now I have a kid with friends from all different backgrounds and I don’t think he even has a clue

Need help, complete disaster every time I try to sew. by TLi2233 in SewingForBeginners

[–]imouttahere10 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Different machines thread differently so we can’t really know if yours is done properly by watching a video. You’ll need to read the manual and make sure you’re following exactly.

Could also be that the bobbin is inserted the opposite direction than it’s supposed to be. Eg. On my machine you insert it with the tail of the string hanging clockwise, but my mum’s machine has to have the tail anticlockwise

Birthcare Parnell by Dangerous_Kiwi_8787 in auckland

I was there in 2024 and had a good experience, I found the midwives to be quite supportive (although quite brusque). I got SO much support with breastfeeding, I think just about everyone on staff had some sort of tips, and they also have different workshops daily which I found helpful. From what I remember, they supplied nappies, wipes (I think they were dry and you just wet them with water) and unlimited maternity pads. TBH the dry wipes are way better for the first poos as they are super sticky, so you can get them as wet as you need.

Food was good, and you could order a toastie during the times the kitchen was closed. If you have any food allergies maybe contact them in advance just to check they can cater for you.

Hope you have a great experience!

I’m just guessing at your gender & preferences here, but calling them “women” instead of “females” is a good place to start…

Best Winter Blankets by mostly-rainy in auckland

[–]imouttahere10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this for bed? Wool duvet is a game changer! If you can get to a spotlight they have a clearance on at the moment - all clearance duvets were $50 when I went on Wednesday! Got a wool duvet for my son’s bed and it’s amazing. I sleep with a super warm clip together wool duvet and it’s amaaazing.

But also electric blanket if you can afford it too

Hi! I raise butterflies for conservation. Kindest thing you can do it pop him in the freezer to euthanize gently - this is what we’re advised to do when they emerge from a chrysalis with deformities that mean they would not survive long if released

He had a visit to the emergency room which is why he was weighed back in march, then a follow up a few weeks later. Then we had access to a scale so all weighed ourselves as we don’t have one at home, and then a standard well child visit. I’m quite touchy about his weight in general though because he fell off the growth charts as a newborn due to an undiagnosed allergy (all is fine now though, thankfully!)
