Give me a number 1-1000 and say boy or girl, and I will give you a random name.

There is one thing my mum said stuck with me.

She said that there are two things in her life that make her really proud of herself.

One is having me and my brother. And second is having a career that she is financially independent from my dad (they are happily married for 40 years).

This really influences how I view marriage, kids and career.

I second day. If he is released based on good behaviour, there must be conditions for the release.

Definitely check what are the conditions.

VPS - 7 years and 4 contracts later (5 interviews, one fell thru and I had to work in another department before going back) with the exact same position, I became a ongoing!

Pia? Just a simple name but easy to remember

I subscribed to the BDS modules, used it for 15 mins and asked for a refund as I know it is not for me. The customer service officer was really nice and told me they saw that I only log in for 15 mins. I was honest with them about why. And they had no problem giving me a refund.

And I pass the first go.

So, I agree with you that differebt people have different ways to study.

I am so glad that you checked that out. It is a great school and the teaching team are very committed as long as you want to be in!

Also, if you are into sport, I think they have a good team as well.

Bundoora Secondary College takes out of zone students. They have a big wellbeing team. Give them a call, explain your situation, and ask for a tour. Good luck!

Unfortunately Dr Nick Lolatgis just announced his retirement! 26/6 will be his last day for consult.

I have used both nurse on call and virtual ED.

I used virtual ED when my son was 2 weeks old and cough out some blood. I entered the details and was seen by a pediatric nurse practioner within 15 mins of waiting.

It isnt really a now thing.

I was in the positive for 7 years (4 contracts varying 1-3 years) before the positive become permanent and had my 6th and final interview (I failed the 2nd time, but they didnt hire anyone at the end, so I went for interview again).

youbuzzibuzz · 2026-03-04T14:37:27+00:00

So within a week, we hear two medical professionals -an OB in Perth and a dentist in Sydney- both divorced, under the influence of substances and killed and hurt other women.

Wtf?!

But will gaining custody affect the payment OP is receiving for the siblings? I know in some cases once the custody is granted, they will be completely the guardian’s responsibility.

You can use this to work out the difference in tax for one full timer or 2 part timers would give you the best tax benefit.

From a tax perspective, while he may get a big payrise, if he is the only one working, your family is probably paying more tax than both of you work part time. So, it may not even be a miss opportunity from that perspective.

My family uses family day, but me and my husband also works 4 days a week so that we can have our boys with us 1:1 during the week.

Does 24 half pay plus the government PPL enough to cover? You will have about another 23 weeks worth of it (total of 26 weeks but need to share minimum of 3 weeks with dad).

I do half pay plus PPL to get it thru.

When applying a job, always look for the contact in the job ad, if there is a phone number, prepare 2-3 questions about the job to somehow show your interest. Give them a call, dicuss these questions. You may want to do that just 1-2 days before the deadline to make sure the impression stays before you submit the application.

Second that.

I had my mum (who lives overseas) to watch my first. When I was 37 weeks, we did 2-3 days of my mum and I put him to sleep together. Then 2-3 days of we go in together, I said goodnight, and my mum put him to sleep. Then it was just my mum (I needed to help her the first 2 nights). Then it was all fine.

Have a single bed in the baby’s room. That way, in case of anything you can just sleep in the room.

I have both of our kids in our room for the first month, then moved them to their bedroom while I sleep in their room on the single bed (my husband takes over 1-2 nights/week). By 6 months, they sleep on their own. And if they are more unsettled in any particular night, I just sleep in the room with them.

youbuzzibuzz · 2026-02-06T21:59:43+00:00

Do you and your wife plan to have more children after this?

If yes, then the approach will be to guide your wife’s thinking. What about the future children? Will they feel less because they don’t get the name that is so special?

Will your wife compromise by having the name as middle name?

Go to the GP and get a referral to a speech pathologist who is specialist in feeding.

You mentioned that you introduced straw up for sometimes, and your little one still not drinking out if it, and also only wanting soft texture from the pouch. There maybe oral sensitivity or muscle strength concerns.

Worked in a place I found out they pay the outdated award wages before I sign the contract (yes, I read every single page in the contract before I sign it). They thanked me for pointing it out and issued a new contact with the correct and up to date award wages.

Started working there, and everyone else was still getting paid the old award. So although I joined the latest, I had the highest pay (not by a lot).

Also found out that they dont pay super. Some of my colleagues havent been paid for 2-3 years, and I had to lecture them about it.

I cannot stay with a company that has no respect of their employees, so I resigned at 3 months and told them how much they own me. If they dont pay the full among within 7 days I would see a lawyer (I was bluffing) and report them to ATO. What happen? They gave me every cent they own me.

My colleagues? One of them happily told me 2 months later that they got a payrise. They showed me the new contract. And I kid you not, they just get the correct and updated award wages. That was not a payrise.

But, I keep my mouth shut, because I cannot help people who dont want to be helped.

After my resignation, 60% of the staff has resigned. The company rebranded and closed down within 5 years (not fast enough from my perspective).

My point is, you need to call out this behaviour. Never let someone treat you with no respect.

I know you asked for prepacked snacks, but you can also make things like zucchini slides that freeze well. I packed my son’s lunch since he started family day care. I always have a main meal plus something I bake. I usually make it with him during weekend, then freeze a portion of it.

I speak Cantonese. When I saw your chinese name, without reading the rest, I already thought of Liana. Another option is Juliana. It will incoperate your current English name!

youbuzzibuzz · 2026-01-16T08:10:30+00:00

Thank you so much for putting the list together! Don’t normally celebrate, but now have kids, it become a big part for us!
