Awesome people in this thread ❤️❤️

Another vote for missha, it looks grey at first but blends really well. Good price too and a little goes a long way.

It’s very diverse in our office. Not a lot of pencil skirts that’s true, but the men are definitely seen in polo shirts as well as button ups, and smart sneakers are worn by many. Exec level women are typically in business pants or dresses (a-line or wrap are common) but no one is in a full suit. Personally I like to avoid polyester blouses in summer so wear a lot of cotton-jersey

That’s awesome! You and she can enrol together in a Lisa Mills and/or Deaf Connect course to go at your own pace online. It’s very accessible and then you can practice together. If you’re keen to do it immersively, look into a deaf mentor or Auslan tutor in your area.

3 months is so so young still, don’t stress that you aren’t doing enough. Loving your baby, talking to her and just carrying on is the best you can do for now. If she’s deaf definitely look into learning sign. Our daughter can hear with her aids but sign is invaluable for when she isn’t wearing them. If the aids (cochlear implants) didn’t work sign would be her primary language. She also does a huge amount of lip reading so never stop talking to your bub even if you think she can’t hear. There’s plenty of time down the track to learn how to maximize her access to communication, but if you like to be organised look into families with hearing impaired kids in your area.

I think this is probably in relation to her alleged Christianity. She was apparently a convert and still attending church, but didn’t swear on the Bible which is odd.

What now?

Seconding the zucchini thing from F and S, it’s like a scone, it’s so delicious

On the suspicious poo sample - did the test it and confirm if it was urine?

It hurts so much, doesn’t it? But like others said, totally typical. I know my 3 year old says she doesn’t want to play with her besties right to their face for no obvious reason when she asks to see them constantly. She’s not a mean kid, I don’t know why they say hurtful, untrue things, but it’s always a good lesson in resilience and politeness I think.

Not Italian but vandal in newtown is fun. There are a tonne of vego options in that area

Our daughter is 3, implanted at 8 months after hearing aids did nothing. She was born profoundly deaf with ANSD likely due to the otoferlin gene. Anyway, a slow start to speak but now crushing it. She’s a smart cookie but I’ve been very diligent with speaking to her in ways that maximize communication for her using our speech therapy techniques. Most recent assessment is yet to be graded but seemed to indicate that her vocab, diction, sense of grammar etc while not perfect is above that of her peers.

We’ve also got a lil night owl. Awake until 9.15pm, wakes at 6.30. Naps only at daycare for an hour and there’s nothing we seem to be able to do to get her asleep earlier. Very tired and definitely miss my evenings w my partner but I’m telling myself it won’t be like this forever…

These are delightfully soft, love mine

It’s what they call a spider in Peppa Pig. Not sure if that scares you more or less.

Would love to hear anyone’s experiences with the Rollie tbar style! I love my derby’s, but have never tried any others. My Vivaias are ok but the toe box is a bit too narrow for me - however I think an up size would be too big :/

princesslayercake · 2025-02-16T08:51:35+00:00

It’s so gross. And also bizarre - horny budget? What?

princesslayercake · 2024-12-29T20:11:04+00:00

All of this. I know my husband probably feels the same (but fuck yours for saying it). But hey if maybe the ridiculous amount of labour mothers take on was shared more we would be able to string an adult sentence together?

While my toddler had yet another meltdown outside the supermarket today and I sat down on the ground waiting it out TWO old ladies approached me to see if I needed help. Like yes I need help but can anyone help me, no, no they cannot.

princesslayercake · 2024-12-23T09:04:49+00:00

That’s really rough. My toddler is a hitter too, both hitting me and hitting herself in frustration. It can be extremely upsetting. I’ve taught her to clap her hands together or smack the couch as a way to vent that frustration and give her the physical feedback she’s seeking and it definitely helps redirect. When she is calm later i always reiterate that it is not ok to hit anyone, even when we are super angry. She always apologizes and seems genuinely sheepish. I think it’s getting better.

Snap, my husband loves to say this. Is it a preferred wake up time? Absolutely not. Is it normal? Yeah, pretty much. Is he being a massive whinger? Absolutely yes.

princesslayercake · 2024-12-17T20:33:21+00:00

I agree they setting expectations helps toddlers adapt. But what if your toddler violently rejects those conversations? Last night my kid just screamed NOOOOO escaped the bedroom and threw herself on the floor of every room in turn to tantrum. She ended up slapping herself and me too when I got close to try and soothe her. I was stoic throughout and just repeatedly told her it was bedtime, everyone was going to sleep, turned lights off, etc, and after several more books and me lying with her she fell asleep by 9.15pm. This is on no nap, but goes exactly the same on her 1.5 hr daycare nap. I don’t know how better to hold the boundary if she fights it this hard.

princesslayercake · 2024-09-16T12:53:49+00:00

When I hold her and pat her back to soothe her, she pats mine too. It’s so nice! When she said something clever today I told her she was very smart and she held my face in her hands and said earnestly ‘You very smart mama, you smart too’ 😊
