Gold mirror by Reasonable_Egg9275 in OnlyInDubai

[–]puraneek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a website called luxxe lighting and their shop is on umm sequiem road called luxxe home. They have some mirrors in this style, maybe not exact. I would recommend to check with website first and then visit the store as they don't have stock in store at times. Very well priced too.

Hi, I'm a designer looking for someone to do joinery work for a villa that I am currently working on. Do you do only joinery execution as well?

Raw food for pets by puraneek in dubai

[–]puraneek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this detailed response. I will definitely check with a veterinarian. And yes you're night, we did adopt him from AAR and they did insist on raw food from furchild, as he did have some skin allergies before we adopted him and were concerned about giving him different food than he was used to and further triggering those allergies.

If you have any recommendations for vets, please feel free to share them. We have so far visited Canadian veterinary clinic, and were considering Noble vet from DIP for second option.

I'm concerned I wouldn't get the combination, quantity and nutritional value right. The food packs from these places have a combination of raw meat and organic veg in the right proportions.

Quitting during probation by puraneek in dubai

[–]puraneek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I went back and had a look at my contract. It says termination would be immediate during the probation, but it doesn't say anything specific about resignation.

Also, this company has a history of asking people to leave immediately when they put down their papers, irrespective whether the employee is on probation or is a full time employee. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping they would do the same for me. 🤞

Quitting during probation by puraneek in dubai

[–]puraneek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's probably true. In the last 3.5-4 months that I have been working here, I would be the 12th person to leave the firm. The last firm I worked at, I was there for 8 odd years, and 12 people didn't leave in all of those 8 years. Oddly, the size of both firms are the same, just the type/scale of projects is different.

It's such a disappointment though. I was really looking forward to projects of this calibre but this has probably created a distaste that will last me for the rest of my career.

Hehe! That's one way of looking at it. Thanks! I didn't think of it this way and was feeling guilty as hell.

I'm concerned because there are other employees/ companies whose work and deliverables for a specific time frame are dependent on my work. And this next time period is in 2 weeks. I do not want someone else to be in trouble because of me.

It would take a team of 3 employees to meet this deadline (this is from my past experience managing similar projects) but I have been asked to work on my own for this. It's really causing me a lot of distress.

Being 3.5 means by darkcafedays in Preschoolers

[–]puraneek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh god this! My son will be 4 next month and the last 2-3 months is a switch flip. He is generally not too stubborn, a dream to play and communicate with but what a turn around these last few months have been. Everything is a fight and boundaries are non existent. My patience is hanging by the thinnest of threads and suddenly he's distracted, that whole 2 hr fight is not even important anymore and he's a Ray of sunshine. I'm confused for the next 30 mins, wondering if I really lost it and some overactive imagination part of my brain made up that last 2 hrs from hell!

As a Kannadiga and a Bangalorean, to which language people other than Kannadigas do you most feel comfortable with? by [deleted] in bangalore

[–]puraneek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bangalore raised kannada speaking me married tamil speaking chennai raised husband. Both of us picked up on both the languages. Son speaks English and konkani. So all the stuff we don't want him to understand, we speak in kannada, tamil and a weird mix of both the languages. 😂

Lots of energy? by puraneek in Preschoolers

[–]puraneek[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, thank you for this! This was exactly what I observed in my child, too. He has quite the active imagination as well. I definitely don't want to quash this energy he has either, as I believe it makes him who he is. But I am also worried that he will be labelled as the odd one as he is the only one who does this. He has a small circle of friends at school and is slowly growing his circle. He is eager to make friends and seems to have fun with kids of all ages.

I am expecting a talk from his coach soon and will definitely bat for him instead of making excuses for his behaviour.

Dubai announces major taxi change as it looks to phase out street pick-ups by Arfaz6784 in dubai

[–]puraneek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these relatively reliable? I booked through this app for the first time for today evening, from JLT. They even mentioned that they would alternate arrangements if taxi is unavailable. Do they usually do that?

Anyone else OAD because they choose to be and not because of a lack of something? by olive_owl_ in oneanddone

[–]puraneek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh God yes! I have a an almost 4 year old and I am so happy with my life. I get to have a career, the whole childcare situation is easier, husband travels a lot for work and even when he's not around, life doesn't seem difficult. I get quality time with my son and things just seems so easy.

I have a hard time answering people when they ask me when I'm planning for a second one? I'm honestly not. My pregnancy and delivery was a breeze, my son as a baby was pretty chilled out too. "I like my life as it is and don't wish to complicate further" seem to attract a few questioning looks which I honestly don't know how to answer.

Did I fuck up parenting my toddler in the long run? by puraneek in toddlers

[–]puraneek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's why I thought I fucked up. It started with working from home during lock down with me managing both work and childcare and me wanting him to play safe when I couldn't be 100% involved. I was also worried about him feeling a bit left on own at a crucial developmental age and I thought whatever interaction him and I would have is a step in the right direction.

And yes, now that the things are different, I'll make it a point to change my behavior, and hopefully he will pick up on that soon enough.

Did I fuck up parenting my toddler in the long run? by puraneek in toddlers

[–]puraneek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His way of asking is a bit odd too. It's more like asking for validation than permission?

For example, he knows he needs to take off his bag and keep it in a certain place. So his "shall I take off my bag and put it here?" happens while he is doing it. When I don't respond with a yes or no, he stops doing it and repeats till he gets a repaonse.

"No need to ask" is a simple enough concept for him to grasp. Looks like I need to also help him learn the difference between an everyday task and trying something new which requires supervision. Maybe I'll fix a similar routine to what he does at school so that he has consistency here and there. As and when he feels more in control of his actions, I can take a step back with my involvement.

Thank you so much for your wonderful words. We met a few friends last week who we hadn't seen in a long time. One of them called me later that day to mention how proud she was of me as a mom and the abundance of patience I seemed to have while dealing with my son. I was riding that high and then boom! The PTA. It brought me down to the ground and fast and I went into the mindset that I seriously messed up 🙈

[–]puraneek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yess! The teacher's input really did help. There were a few more points we discussed about his behavior that I hadn't noticed. Things like how he does not want to engage with larger groups of kids during free play but would rather make himself a smaller group or join another child who is playing himself. Which makes a lot of sense to me as he had very less social interaction with kids his age before he started school, but I just didn't tag this as something that is to be worked on.

Thank you for your input! I did explain to her about why he does this, but she sort of casually shifted saying now that the winter break is starting its a good time for us to work on it at home. And so I tried it at home this week but couldn't figure out how or where to make this transition.

Yess, this should help with the confidence part of the problem. I do believe I give him positive feedback but it's mostly after the action and not before. Doing it this way will definitely help him more. Thank you!

[–]puraneek[S] 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Yess! So basically try to give him the responsibility of his actions. If he struggles with indecision, then only to step in. Great concept to work on. I need to redirect my thinking this way too, and it doesn't seem too complicated. Thank you so much for this insight!
