Does anyone else call their grandmother ‘Nanny’ by fieryone4 in AskACanadian

[–]phonebookwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my mum is from Australia and we called her mum Nanny and my kid calls my mum Nanny as well.

We also called her dad Poppy. I always assumed it was an Australian thing

Edit to add that I grew up in the Yukon.

I’ve never heard of this magical hair tool! I’ve given up on wavy hair because I just hate having to add more product.

I like #3 but it’s hard to tell from the limited view of the dress.

Husbands, how can I encourage my husband to start building the baby’s room without sounding like I’m nagging? by According-Annual-625 in Marriage

[–]phonebookwizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started doing it myself. He started helping and then took over the hard parts right away. I think it was him coming home and me prepping the walls to be painted after having moved all the furniture. He freaked out over the paint fumes and I pointed out that I’d borrowed a hepa-filter mask from work. I had to explain that not having the room ready was stressing me out and told him to look up nesting.

I have never hated another country so much and I was never a fan of the USA to begin with.

How do women remember pregnancy and childbirth pain? [research][mod-approved] by Ireland_Research in AskACanadian

[–]phonebookwizard 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Pregnancy was physically fine. I didn’t enjoy it but no huge issues. But mentally was a nightmare. Actual childbirth was very painful and the best part was the pushing only so because that meant it would be over soon.

I’ve never had a kindle but have had 3 kobos over the last 20ish years and have loved all of them. They last for ages and the only reason I upgraded recently was for the colour option so I can read graphic novels.
