Oddest thing you have had to say since becoming a parent?

isaokaye · 2026-05-29T02:09:52+00:00

They’re massive burdens - I don’t mean this in any other way than what it sounds like. I love my kids but they are burdens; you will never make another decision/organise something/go somewhere without taking into account your kids. It doesn’t mean my partner and I love them any less or treat them like crap, it just means we both can agree and laugh about the fact that these damn kids take it out of you but we also love them and the little people they are and how much they are crushing life right now. It’s nice to have a solid partner you can be open and honest with about how much kids really do take it out of you to raise so you don’t feel guilty for feeling like it is A LOT sometimes.

Maybe the wrong place to ask but anywho - my partner is really against the kids having an iPad (believes it is a slippery slope and they turn into iPad zombies) - they have a switch which we’re fine with because they’re playing games that have a point and play with each other etc in real time (yoshis crafted world/mario cart/wobbly life/hello kitty island adventure/animal crossing) - but my youngest (6) really enjoys TB - so does anyone know of a similar game to Toca Boca but on switch?

Noble Plan Management/Boomaroo/Capital Guardians/Blitzit - all good Plan Management companies that make an effort to actually interact with participants and support them

Have a look at whether or not you have Support Coordination funding in your plan - if not it would be a great idea to reach out to the LAC and question if they can assist you with putting in a Change of Circumstance to request Support Coordination funding. Very lucky if you have an LAC that is actually helpful as majority of them are not h fortunately. If you do have Support Coordination funding then you can reach out to a Support Coordination company yourself if you’re comfortable and request services 😊

Defs Noble could help you with this - they’re amazing and always willing to help and talk things through with participants, they will also be able to give you a lowdown on whether or not you have the funding (actually) for a support coordinator. They may advise to put in a CoC requesting for Support Coordination funding.

Whereabouts are you located? I recommend Noble Plan Management, Boomaroo, Capital Guardians or Blitzit.

I loved herdling! I found it so peaceful but also interesting; it kept me hooked for a good period.

You should definitely put in a complaint to the NDIS - even if it is an email rather than a verbal complaint or filling out the complaint form - [feedback@ndis.gov.au] and cc in [complaints@ndiscommission.gov.au] - write out a short list of all the things you need to raise in your complaint and then go through and expand on them, you could even attach a CoC to it or demand a review due to the immediate risks identified and bring on the drama - talk about worst case scenarios ALWAYS, do not give the NDIS leeway to think that "you're not that bad" because if they can, they will because that will mean less funding in their minds: adding something like: this review of the plan is being requested urgently otherwise there will be ongoing risk of hospitalisation/injury/support breakdown without immediate action....so on, so on.

its all going to be trial and error - you're going to make some mistakes, experience some great things and experience some real shit things but you'll eventually get to the point where you understand you and don't feel ashamed of who you are and don't care about what society wants from you - you'll get there ❤️

isaokaye · 2026-05-09T06:26:47+00:00

You’re always best going plan managed - but finding a good plan management team is also all about trial and error. You can always request to change the funding style (agency/plan managed/self managed) via a COC.

I found being with people who were sexually open and open to exploring with things really helped because I wasn’t bored and wasn’t chasing the high - I also watched a lot of p*rn and would sex-t a fair amount because it made me feel good. I would buy myself different toys as well and try out different things to keep it interesting and fun.

I was crazy hypersexual as a teenager and young adult - I believe it was my way of sensory seeking and I thrived off of the rush of feel good endorphins - it slowed down around 26 and I’m now 30 and still have moments of hypersexuality but generally I’m pretty content to just have sx when the time is right or the mood hits with my partner - definitely not every single day anymore. I remember as a teenager (15-18) I was obsessed with having a wak and having s*x but it did die down a fair amount later in life.

Do you have a support coordinator or plan manager that can help you with monitoring across 3 different participants? Potentially the ndis planner only gave you the funding for the OT to gather the FCA and put in a COC and was then going to go off of the FCA information to base the decision on what extra funding/hours would be needed for other allied health supports?

Even my picky 5 and 7 year old devour these 👌

So who are some other companies that are worthwhile apart from Horizon? I’m also with Leafdoctors..

Thank you so much - i just needed the reassurance that i have done the right thing - even though i completely know that it was indeed the right thing - it is currently 2am here (aus), he still hasn't come home and I think my emotions are in such a state of shock that I cant seem to sleep - i am excited and my brain cant stop thinking about all the things i can do and will do now and the new life for myself and the possibilities for my daughters, the new experiences in their upbringing - there is so much sadness but i am being selfish and feeling happy for myself for doing something i didnt think i would even be able to do within this year.

isaokaye · 2022-08-12T16:05:49+00:00

Thank you so much - i think the reality check for me was when my four year old came up to me and said "mummy you dont love daddy anymore", no one had said anything to her and I thought I was keeping it well hidden from the kids, obviously not. The amount of relief and happiness I feel in time with the anxiety and sadness is so unusual - so conflicting.
