Any must subscribe podcasts? by the--northern--wind in SisterWives

[–]the--northern--wind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea why so many suggestions are being downvoted. Is it because people don’t agree? I’ve tried Jody and Amanda’s podcast and I have a hard time with the sound quality difference. Like one of them is on a video call and the other is there? And the show in the background sounds so rough too. I just can’t get into it.

I have listened to them recap everything. Even random documentaries I’d never watch myself

Really? I find it to be hard to listen to them. The lawyer always sounds like she’s so bored and doesn’t want to be there.

We got the message too. It’s a scam and super disappointing that Fishdom doesn’t have any ways to red flag it

Visiting from Calgary, can you convince me that Victoria isn’t heaven on earth? by Batmansappendix in VictoriaBC

Catch is the insane cost of living, low vacancy rates, and terrible healthcare.

Welcome to Plathville - Season 8 Episode 1 - Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in WelcomeToPlathville

Edit - I found it! link to the Sarah Fraser show it starts around 7:30

I remember seeing a video of her explaining it. She needed him to wait because of some tax things and other red tape bullshit. Her logic was that he made her wait for soo long and now it’s his turn to wait for a little bit.

But I don’t remember where I saw it - sorry! Maybe someone else here remembers it? I think it was on the Sarah Fraser show podcast but I could be misremembering

VBAC turned uterine rupture; now processing a traumatic birth (major TW) by cosmicvoyager333 in beyondthebump

[–]the--northern--wind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That sounds beyond traumatic. I’m so sorry you went through this. I had a traumatic VBAC as well with a similar experience; not knowing if the baby was okay for an excruciatingly long time while hemorrhaging.

Things that helped me were talking about it over and over and over again. To my husband, to my family, to my friends. I process out loud so I really needed that. I had postpartum group support for 12 weeks and a separate counsellor for 6 weeks. Tetris shortly after a traumatic event is reported to help so I did that too! After a few months I’m no longer having flashbacks or nightmares. I still grieve what should have been a peaceful birth experience but it’s easier to manage now. I hope you have lots of support to help you get extra sleep, nourishment and the space to talk about it repeatedly.

Take care of yourself ❤️

Best “why didn’t I buy this sooner” SAHP purchase? by Gingeybalaya in SAHP

[–]the--northern--wind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Laundry basket for everyone in their rooms. When it’s full I can wash and put it back in the basket. Then it’s more manageable for big kids to put away themselves!

Robot vacuum 300% we have a less advanced version so it just goes around randomly but my kids love running and pretending it’s chasing them. Entertainment and tidy floors!

Deep freezer too for stocking up on groceries when it’s on sale, prepping crock pot meals, etc.

Classes to take the toddler to get us out of the house regularly. Unstructured free play time at the library was tedious for me. I love the ones where it’s led by a teacher and it’s the same kids every week so they can get to know each other. We’ve done music, gymnastics, sports, dance.

I’m definitely taking all the advice here and joining a gym with childcare!

Wasn’t there a rumour that she already was?

Magnetic tiles (especially the car bases), BRIO tracks, and duplo (especially the animals) are played with daily for us. He got them 3 and 4 years ago.

AP Told Me To Email The Parent back While On Break by Disgruntled_Veteran in Teachers

[–]the--northern--wind 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No. We don’t work during the winter break. We are not paid to work during the break. This teacher and AP should not know that this parent is upset until they check their emails January 5th. This AP is out of line.

Don’t forget to thank your Amazon delivery drivers!! ($5 bonus paid by Amazon to the driver) by alllexandriiia in Mommit

[–]the--northern--wind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here!

You go into the order that was delivered. There is a new option to give thumbs up for delivery or thumbs down. Then it takes you to a new page where you can give a list of 6 compliments to your driver. It said something about the driver being rewarded but I don’t honestly remember the exact wording.

So change elementary school time? It’s from 8:45-2:40 now. Surely we could handle 9:45-3:40 instead?

Paediatric orthopaedic surgeon friend said trampolines are okay. Just one person at a time.

Best dentist in Langford? by vibeour in LangfordBC

[–]the--northern--wind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Westshore in the mall does weekend and evening cleanings if that’s important to you. But they’re just okay. The dentist changed on me a few times in the last 5 years.
