Died in childbirth 15years ago.

This is me. COVID was no big deal (completely asymptomatic), I rarely catch colds, never get gastro.

But can't breathe if there is one dot of pollen within 100km.

I have 3 Xmas/birthdays with my oldest left, before they will probably move out. I'm spending as much time together as I can.

My exhole is a jerk, but would still spring into action in an emergency, especially if it involves his kids.

I couldn't be with someone if I can't trust they will handle an emergency.

Reliability is important for me.

My inlaws were the same. Two children is the right amount and I had an afab and then a boy, so why want more. I have 5 atm, 4 bio and a bonus, and plan to foster again when my youngest is a bit older. Then my oldest transitioned so they were even more horrified.

Yes this. He gets kudos for going to his school musical.

Just like my exhole, I'd beg him to do the lawns (im in Australia and we have a lot of snakes in my area) but he would go and completely landscape anyone's place as a surprise, if they mentioned they needed to mow the lawn. His bestie called him out, while we were going through the divorce, but he never stepped up. Thankfully 7 years divorced (and 3years single from the rebound) and the kids and I couldn't be happier.

Certainly made my day very interesting and I became a bit of a legend at work cos I had to epi myself on an oval in front of 400 children, then wait for the ambulance (while assuring everyone that I felt fine, thanks for the epi, and would just run to the hospital 😂 ).

He originally posted 24hrs ago, in a nude beach sub, which makes it lunchtime in WA. Perth is windy after that, so it's best to go early and leave by now.

After those posts were removed, he posted here.

I mean, it's probably fake, as he has had an account for a year but not posted or commented, but yesterday was great beach weather in the morning.

My kids have dairy, so all of the cups, plates and bowls have had dairy on them at some time. But my special mug is for my coffee so doesn't get used by others.

If I can use a washed dish, OPs vegan 'friend' can definitely.

And I've reacted to a cracker (cross contamination) and salami (dairy is a filler in lots of processed meats) .

And if she ISNT of sound mind then she needs to move into a facility. Or at least give OP financial power of attorney, if she's too unwell to manage her own money, which solves the problem of OP needing to cover mums expenses.

I have a dairy allergy, and while I do have a favourite mug I just wash the dishes after they have had dairy.

I'm in Western Australia, and it's definitely still beach weather here, I was there last weekend and will be going again on Monday.

I work with young offenders in the community, but was in a facility until 4 years ago.

Listen to your lawyers advice. It's great that you are accepting responsibility and the consequences of your actions.

Stay away from the 'career criminals' and as above study, get exercise, and don't get involved in politics. Be polite, but don't share your life story, or trust anyone.

The best outcomes I've seen are my kiddos getting a degree or apprenticeship so when they come out, they have work and a life to rejoin, rather than feeling lost.

I already do this for free, with this menagerie, so getting paid would be nice.

I'd even drop a day at work to spend purely on the creatures needs.

We did this with our housemates. Bought our own cookware and consumables, kept it all locked in our room. We would use the cooking facilities, wash up in a tub (sink was always full) and then put everything away again.

I'm so glad that my now ex is from a country where men wear 'dresses' (sarong), so he's always been secure on whatever he wears, which flows into our kids being supported to wear whatever the heck they want.

One of my sons was bullied for wearing pink, so my ex husband went to every school pick up and drop off wearing pink.

' I aten't dead' :)

I wouldn't sleep with someone a second time, if that was the first time

Not to mention the gay lions

Yes that's what I thought too.

Yes, I'd be one of my cats too. In fact most of the family would as the overfed freeloaders definitely run the house

I'm from Albany, and used to live in Melbourne.

Albany was great with young children, loads of outdoors stuff to do (the weather is similar to Melbourne) and now they have 7 day trading so you don't have to rush around to get groceries after working 12 hours.

Busselton is lovely too, closer to the city, but a much smaller town.

YTA.

I've never understood the allure of working for free.

I get my work done well within my paid hours, and manage to assist other teams as needed.

Loads of overtime, especially unpaid looks like the person can't handle the existing role, let alone take on additional responsibilities.

I'm a consultant in my field now, and I've never worked over my salary hours, in fact I choose to only work 3 days a week for a better balance.
