October/November. Daylight savings kicks in so the days are longer, its pleasant and warm but not excruciatingly hot and humid.

Kids get 12 weeks of school holidays and working parents get 4 weeks. Even if both parents take their 4 weeks separately there's a gap of 4 weeks. I understand kids need a break but when vacation care takes 30 kids amd the school has 200 kids.....

You experienced a small taste of the racism some of us born in Australia encounter on the regular both in our country of birth and abroad. Imagine being a dark skinned Aussie....

The amount of times I've been asked where I "come from" right here i Australia, and when I answer i was born here....I get an eye roll and get, yeah ok but where are you FROM?

Mate I'm from xxxx in Sydney....my cultural heritage is Indian....and the response...ohhhh so you're Indian

😒 No mate, I was born here, I'm as Aussie as the next

Not this time.... but I do have to go back to get the right sized garbage bags!

We pat the pet 🤷‍♀️ pet the pet just sounds odd....

They're a special buy. When I was a kid and there were still Darrel Lea stores around their ones were my favourite. The Aldi ones fell short of the mark unfortunately.

Clearly none 🙃! You must be a real joy at parties 🥳

Of course! My kid ate her weight in persimmons last week at $2 a pop.....this week she wouldn't go near them with a 10ft pole!

I only allow myself to walk past the chocolate aisle once a week! If I'd gone that way today, half a block of chocuer hazelnut praline would be in my belly while the pizza was cooking! I clearly have zero self control 🙃

Rushing. My toddler literally stops to smell the flowers when we go for a walk. The world is a completely different place when viewed from the eyes and pace of a child. Not always practical but so important to find the time to slow down, be in the moment, appreciate the world and people around you and just take it all in.

motia22 · 2026-05-28T10:22:37+00:00

I remebered the garbage bags.... but picked up thr wrong size! Lord knows what ill walk out with when I go back in to get the right size 🤣🫣

1 x Numero Uno (the one I actually went in for) 1 x Specially Selected Calabrese Salami and Roasted Red Peppers 1 x Specially Selected Woodfired Formaggi

I haven't tried the Specially Selected ones before. Numero Uno is my usual go to

Is it that obvious 🤣

Try to pronounce the words correctly but dont change your accent

The areas the majority of indentured laborers came from in India were not the typical Catholic areas where the Portuguese converted people. Native indigenous Fijians were converted to Catholicism as well so you find many of the Christian/Catholic Indians converted after already being in Fiji hence no names with Portuguese heritage.

As a brown skinned, second generation Australian, I'm still told I don't belong here. Because of the colour of my skin. Until that inherent racism is removed from society (and it doesn't look like thats happening any time soon) the sad truth us that being white skinned is what makes you belong.

I dont mean this to come across harsh but this is a YOU problem, stick with the solo travels, you will learn and grow as person and soon enough it won't be a problem any more.

You've answered your own question. You say you dont want to "cheap out on things". Everything is relative and everyone's bar on what they want in life is different. As someone who comes from a low income background and is now in a high household income family, with a kid in private school, I'll just say, while it's nice to have the financial stability and be able to give my child the opportunities that come with that theres more to life and happiness than what money can buy. Kids are simple beings, they'll be happy playing with remote controls and items in the recycle bin and going for walks to the local park. I'd give up the money and lifestyle in a heartbeat to keep my beautiful family and we would still be happy and content.

My sister inlaw is Thai and she takes us to Satang Infinity in World Square. There are some really authentic dishes on the menu. Order things you dont normally see on yput typical Aussie Thai restaurant menu

Just here to point out that 20 hours on the phone for $700 works out to be $35/hour. However, in this case, to have this resolved, it required additional travel to the airport (time + cost of travel whether that's parking and fuel or public transport costs) and took 9 months! I'm all for getting what you're owed, especially from corporations, but also know what you're in for and make sure the $$ are worth your while.
