@26MoreLives They didn’t contact me to say the childcare subsidy had stopped…my ex husband dropped it in my lap at 7.30pm on a Friday, which nearly made me puke. Easy 40-60 min fix on Monday, smothered panic attack with medicinal Mint Slices
@sseehn11 I’m prone to blackouts and migraines. Had to explain to my six year old why Mummy was crawling up the stairs (migraine aura, wicked vertigo). I try to remember to stay hydrated so even if I’m sleep deprived I feel less rotten
@aliciaandrz This is a relief. Miss 5 is incredibly observant, you think she’s not paying attention then she comes out with the most outrageous stuff and then shows Miss 3. 1:1 work with an educator works best for her.
@oog84__@made_in_cosmos Miss 3 does this. One night her bedtime story made me tear up, she heard the change in my voice and kept crash tackling me til I said I was okay.
Her main treatment for her big sister being upset is to literally lie on top of her and quietly giggle til she joins in.
@oog84__ Miss 3 & 5 got stuffed kiwi birds from their Dad’s NZ work trip. Miss 3 looked at her own pink kiwi & Miss 5’s grey kiwi, knowing her big sister’s favourite colour is pink, said “Swap?”
They also regularly and unprompted share bits of their dinner if one wants more of something
@oog84__ …I’m going to do this next time Miss 5 offers to “help” carry something or “help” me put Miss 3 to bed.
Because in all likelihood Miss 3 will listen to her big sister first 😁
Being passively suicidal is such an interesting concept because while I would never plan any action to do anything of that nature, it sounds kinda nice to just drift off into sleep and not wake up.
@StMaryMacKiller Not familiar with bird housing situations. If a nest is in relatively good shape do you think they’ll use it from season to season or at least the materials in making a new nest?
@26MoreLives May his memory be a blessing, BK
I was on FaceTime with my nephew the other day…he started fixing his hair up and just looking at the kid (let alone hearing him laugh) I got sent back 23 years to when his dad was still alive.
