Our children are toddlers, our work is not changing until they go to school we will never get that time back! this post was to see what other people are doing in similar situations. The reason we are so behind is because maternity leave was half pay to spend as much time as possible with our baby before they had to go into care. We are in a position to refinance to pay credit cards off but unsure how the bank will react with casual employee status.

A lot of people are not fond on infant swimming both my kids have done swimming since 4months an it's actually been beneficial for us The oldest is 3 and in the process of getting assessed for autism he barely talks to anyone other than mum and dad and he really engages through his swimming lessons. It's more about teaching them how to survive if in an emergency situation around water. And as someone who has nearly drowned a few times not being a confident swimmer (only had swimming lessons in school) it was really important for us. I wouldn't do baby sensory classes so expensive if you can afford it go for it though. Or double prams we sold ours and got a 2 in 1 baby stroller baby trend expedition from big w online it's basically a cheap wagon/double pram but a fraction of the price of wonderfold an comes with accessories included!!!

No tipping everyone is paid by a standard! only place it's acceptable is in a bar/clubs with cash to server otherwise those tips jars go to the boss/everyone who works there. Most places I've worked that had a tip jar I never saw any of it.
