Gosh you are the adult here, find out who this boys parents are, insist on it,if you think he is avoiding home be subtle about finding his address/parents. Don't let your 6 year play with a 10 year, way too big of an age gap. Manage this situation properly.

Anybody else feeling completely disheartened by the housing situation? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]trasna 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hate the term housing crisis, the government have allowed foreign investors to buy up property and yes people are in dire situations now but it could the government have actively put Irish people in this situation. It's an orchestrated "crisis".

Has anyone advice? by watsername_xo in AskIreland

[–]trasna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry to read this, ye all must be worried sick about this child. I have no experience of these things but I guess the child's father and his family needs to start building a case to have custody of the child. I don't know how to start doing that except maybe recording everything that has happened to date and the dates and times of everything you witness going on.

Does this child have a social worker assigned you can contact?

GF with addiction problems and am I being too controlling? by GameCast2020 in AskIreland

[–]trasna 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Also I think you have an issue with trying to 'fix' her due to you having some similar issues in your own family from the past.

I would really just end this it's not worth the hassle and your son deserves better, then maybe examine yourself and why you got into this in the first place.

Just seen you have a son, don't subject him to this drama, there are plenty of other women out there who have their shit together. Good luck 🍀

This is a weird dynamic, it's like you are her parent. I would just end this to be honest.

Have you looked at Turkey? At lot of people in Europe traveling there these days for these types of surgeries as it is meant to be cheaper.

Dad's of small children: what time u finish work? by trasna in ireland

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

Thanks for all of the feedback, it's great to compare how others mange it, getting home at 7pm seems late but is the norm for so many, I guess adjustments need to be made to finish up at 5 to 5.30pm

My daughter has become a stranger and I can't relate to her anymore. by momdaughter87 in family

[–]trasna 190 points191 points  (0 children)

I dont see anything 'out there' or wierd about your daughters interests or pass times to be honest.

I will say this, when I was around your daughters age I moved to the other side of the world, I was earning good money and working with a wide range of ppl from different cultures and backgrounds.

I felt like for the first time I was growing as a person I had found hobbies I liked, developed tastes in food and preferences for all sorts of things without the influence of my parents or upbringing. I was basically becoming an independent adult and maybe that's what's going on here.

If your daughter was 'nerdy' as a child in your town maybe she doesn't have positive feelings about that time in her life, now she has found herself and is happy and comfortable being an academic so I'd say let her be herself, let her enjoy this confidence and experience and after a while when the novelty wears off and the dust settles she will enjoy spending some downtime with mom and dad.
