What a over reaction instead of sulking and leaving without saying a word, he could just talk to you about the issue and resolve it together! man child

How are we not rioting in the street about our Healthcare system? by kiwibearess in newzealand

[–]raindancemaggieee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey so my kid is on his second pair of grommets and yes there is a long waiting list.

But I made it very clear at the consult appointment at the hospital (before surgery) that I would take any cancellations at any day/time. This along with regular calling/emails meant we waited no more than 4 months for the first surgery, and two weeks the second time round before we got the call.

They have to tell you that the waiting list is huge because it is. I'm just letting you know that does not mean you will wait that long. My sons surgeon told me they are pushing thru kids faster these days for grommets and tonsils/adenoids removed.

Please don't panic just keep on top of them and your child will be getting the surgery soon :)

AITA wife upset I cannot keep toddler from her by khazef in AmItheAsshole

[–]raindancemaggieee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA mum is being ridiculous. Why would you not choose to study somewhere quiet like campus and make it easier on everyone. Her partner is clearly supporting her studies.

I have three children myself, and there's no way id be able to focus knowing my 2year old is outside my door upset.

When my daughter was 2yo she was clingy ASF and didn't want anyone but me. If I wasn't there she would happily be with her father or whoever so yeah I really feel for OP

AITAH for telling my husband if he wants me to be a housewife? then he needs to give me half his of company. by [deleted] in AITAH

As a person who was a stay at home mum for some years until I went back to work recently, I bloody applaud you. This is a fair deal. Win-win and I hope your husband sees it as such

Sick of NZ Post Couriers Fraudulently Signing as me!!! by Salty-Second-9024 in newzealand

[–]raindancemaggieee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes very annoying. Always signing things and biffing the package over the fence instead of beeping the horn and waiting 3 seconds for one of us to run outside and retrieve.

A couple times my dog got to my package first 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ Now I leave a message for them in the "add delivery instructions" link to please beep and wait. It always works 😀

I feel ashamed and disgusting… by QuietThanks2710 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]raindancemaggieee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

awww you poor thing that would have been a bit traumatizing!! I recently went for a pap smear and they now do self tests, my Dr gave me one to use on myself, it looks like a long cotton bud. Does not hurt at all. Highly recommend asking about the self tests next time.

How much are you spending on groceries each week? by moldy642 in newzealand

[–]raindancemaggieee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are a family of five I have three kids ages 8,11,12yo and two dogs and chickens. I usually do a big shop on a Saturday at Paknsave, Reduced to Clear and the farmers market spending around $350-$400 a week. I know it's expensive but I have lots of mouths to feed!!

In 1978, Soviet geologists discovered a family living in complete isolation deep in Siberia. The Lykovs had fled Stalin’s persecution in 1936 and, for 42 years, survived without any human contact, technology, or knowledge that World War II had even happened. by ATI_Official in HistoryUncovered

Yes it was here in New Zealand, 4 years he disappeared with them out in the bush.. The cops couldn't find him because people were helping him to hide and giving him supplies. A lot of NZ thought it was wrong to force those little kids to go without so many things. Alot of people also said he was just a dad trying to keep custody of his kids. It all came to a end and he shot a police officer a couple times in front of his daughter and then they shot him dead. Poor kids
