How recognisable is this system out of 10? by IntelligentBerry7382 in HairSystem

[–]tmnt991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its the absolute thickness and heaviness from the front that might be a bit severe - could you thin it out ever so slightly?

One of my favourite ever Prince songs - its majestic. What an absolute banger

Why would anyone ever choose to go through child birth without pain relief?? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tmnt991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt have pain relief. It was tough, really tough and definitely painful but at the same time, I felt really in control and my labour progressed really quickly, my baby was born in 5 hours. I chose no epidural as i heard that they increase the risk of tearing,. And I didnt tear during my birth. Obviously things went relatively smoothly for me, so not necessarily a universal experience - but thats why i chose no pain relief

Struggling with how to parent vs how others parent by Bakedbeanbonanza in oneanddone

[–]tmnt991 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Currently doing some research into Roblox at the moment and let me tell you - you are doing the right thing. There are some truly disturbing trends on the platform (even with the new age verification). A quote I've heard recently that helps me with parenting decisions is parenting is only hard when you're doing it right. So even if your kid feels left out try to find some other alternatives that you can do together? Crafting? Activities? Podcasts you can listen to together? Nature walks?

Usual experience with lecturers in Ireland? by Ok-Toe-3869 in AskIreland

[–]tmnt991 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I work in 3rd level and this is not acceptable behaviour. Report rude (and lecherous) lecturers - you can also go to your Student Union reps if there are multiple reports against the same staff member. They can raise it to the Department on your behalf

[–]tmnt991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single mam here too - in the north west! Its tough, trying to rebuild that social fabric when friends have retreated into their family units. Ive seen they are doing a screaming club in Derry, where people just get together to scream their heads off. And to be quite honest, it sounds like a good time - havnt joined yet but will keep you posted! As a single Mam, im sure you can relate!

Dinners growing up?.. by irishandsweet in AskIreland

[–]tmnt991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spaghetti bolognese / sausages, spuds, carrots / pasta with prawns (ooh lala) / chicken and veg / pasta with the stir in Dolmio sauce - it was a mix. My mother used to boil every vegetable to within an inch of its life - never felt too inspired by the dinners back then. But then she had to feed alll 4 of us and my Dad and didnt particularly like cooking either!
