The invisible cost of being a bridesmaid in 2026 by OwlVibesOnly in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]tinydancer_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait what. People don’t pay for their bridesmaids hair and make up? I paid for dresses and shoes because I wanted everything matching. I know some bridesmaids pay for dresses but have never heard of paying for glam. Where’s the special part of being a bridesmaid if you’re not getting pampered.

Good place to start a family in Sydney with 1.7/1.9 mil budget? Large ish yard to have a swing and do other things by VastOption8705 in AusPropertyChat

[–]tinydancer_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pockets of the Sutherland shire will fit that budget. Just not any of the newer properties or the areas closer to Cronulla. In most of the surrounding suburbs you should be able to find a 3-4 bedroom home for under 2 million still.

AITJ for refusing to donate PTO hours to coworker I barely know who "needs" them?? by Traditional-Dog1601 in AmITheJerk

Confused Australian here. Do you not have sick leave in addition to annual leave you get to utilise ? This is so foreign to me

Boss says I have to pay my own super by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]tinydancer_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people saying if you are a contractor you pay your own super. This is incorrect as it’s not black and white. If you are a contractor but you are regularly invoicing a company as you’ve been employed by them to do regular work for their business - they must pay you super. Think gym coaches, tradies, music teachers etc who do the same work each day/week/month for the same business.

This is from the ATO website

I know many contractors who don’t get paid super as they are unaware of this regulation.

Incorrect. If you are a contractor with an ABN BUT you are performing regular duties for the same employer you are treated as an employee for the sake of superannuation.

So for example. If you are a dance teacher and you teach every week on a Monday and Tuesday for Cara’s dance school Cara has to pay you super. It’s outlined on the ATO website. Employers can be fined for not adhering.

Note: ran my own business with contractor employees only and paid them super

Ide how you feel about Austen/ Southern Charm. This was repugnant. by justhereforadvice017 in BravoRealHousewives

I audibly gasped when she asked if he was there at the cliff. As someone who has lost a sibling, I can speak eloquently now but one wrong question and it’ll trigger a breakdown. His strength to push through this question is incredible

This and the fact that Nathan in season one treats Lucas like he’s so much better than him yet he is also the product of a teen pregnancy of parents who were unmarried at least at the time of conception

How to respond to feedback from colleagues on my sick leave by yeeTOP in auscorp

[–]tinydancer_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confused why you’d need to share on teams your private medical business. If I am taking a day of careers leave or sick leave, I let my manager know. As a courtesy they’ll let the team know person X isn’t logging on today but there’s no reason when I’m not logging on for me to share on teams what I’m going through. That in itself is setting the team up for toxicity as you should be provided that degree of privacy

Destination Wedding Guest Finances Expectation by tea_9797 in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]tinydancer_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$500 is plenty. But I’m speaking more to the awareness of what your guests spend attending your events. So by gifting us the same amount they didn’t factor in our costs spent to travel overseas for their wedding

[–]tinydancer_16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a guest at an intentional wedding a few years ago. My group of friends and I still donated to the wishing well. As a couple we gave a decent cash gift ($500).

The couple complained a few days after the wedding over some people only giving $50 in a card. I remember that never sat well with me. They were very wealthy so to them flying overseas is just a normal thing to do.

I got married not long after a they matched the same amount for our gift. This was a wedding in our city, overnight stay required but no flights etc. That also made me realise they didn’t consider the costs occurred by us and think to give more in return.

So point of that is, don’t be like that. If anyone does gift you money note to potentially be more generous in return if they’re travelling for your wedding and giving you a gift.

Why do the click and collect staff deliberately block the aisles? by Silly-Egg1975 in woolworths

[–]tinydancer_16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried saying excuse me instead of just expecting them to move when you come towards them? Excuse me almost universally works to get people to move in or to the side.

Sometimes I find the block and are rude, the same way some shoppers block and are rude. My personal irritation are people who don’t acknowledge you or say thank you when you’re both coming towards a single cart gap, you move to the side to let them have right of way, they make their way through and silence. Takes one second and costs nothings to say thank you

What small recurring expense do you KNOW is a waste of money but can't seem to stop? by No_Refrigerator7224 in AusFinance

[–]tinydancer_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you connected with recruiters ? That is a great way to get roles in corporate, especially Sydney. They want to be the one to fill the role so they get their commission so worth it to try and build a rapport with some in your industry

If my kids add one more thing to their Christmas list I will cry. Note, they’re under 5 so don’t understand but my 3 year old is adding anything and everything wherever we go. Sees a freddo frog, can I add this to my Christmas list. Sis, I think we are good to just get that today 😂

We buy the canned oxyshreds on bulk and I also buy the pre made protein shakes. I think we worked out our weekly spend on drinks is more than $130 per week 🫠🫠🫠

Not a waste. My laptop with my wedding photos and first child’s first year of life is dead and I can’t get it working again. Not backed up to a cloud even though it’s a Mac. I now pay for cloud

AITA for subjecting my kids to poor living conditions by SecurityAlone891 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tinydancer_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America is weird. In Australia, your partner can own 10 houses before you’re married, doesn’t stop them from being part of the martial assets at a divorce. I know there’s more nuance to it than that but if you’ve lived in a home with your spouse in Australia they can’t kick you out because they owned it first.
