I'm in Ireland now, but when I had my kids in Brisbane I practically lived in malls. Air con. Accessibility for a pram. Somewhere to pee WITH THEM. Somewhere to change a nappy and clean poop or vomit off your dress without being judged.
I'm in Ireland. I woke up while this was happening and my first thought was "but that's Mia's happy place!"
I learned in the school disco at Haddon Primary. Such White People "Dancing" - I would love to know what First Nations and people from continents where they actually dance make of it. Even better, can they try it?
I almost missed an Aer Lingus flight to Rome after walking to the WRONG end of the airport where Ryanair had one taking off at the same time - after checking the gate on a big screen and reading the wrong line!
Maybe when you have a son/brother who writes an international bestseller about how your respective houses manipulate the narrative; you learn to stay schtum.
What is the deal with Ch7 platforming "problematic" dudes?
I think the placards prove the point. I hope the sons of these parents flourish.
Too traumatic to finish reading but I hear you.
As a teen I used to swarm the make up testers at Myer on a Friday night, sticking my grubby fingers into the blue eyeshadow testers and asking the concession staff for free samples. I see the same now but they are swarming the wrong section.
She was also very entertaining during Covid Lockdowns with her home disco Karaoke. .
Please add a link to the twins Cancelled episode on Hilaria ! It's one of their funniest ever.
@babble love it.
We are shoes off in Ireland which has been very difficult. I keep a shoe rack near the door, have slip on scuffs and even then, I have to remind people, EVEN my Irish husband who walks in forest parks where people don't pick up after their dogs. I have wooden floors downstairs, carpet upstairs so I maintain a firm policy from the bottom step upwards, leniency in the kitchen/living downstairs. And I have 2 Dysons! to clean up twice a day.
You've reminded me of when I was starting puberty and getting freaked out about a tiny little yellow discharge and it was DOLLY DOCTOR who told me everything was normal with my vag. So big snaps to Lisa Wilkinson and Mia for that.
@laura__palmer a lot of them aren't violent until they kill. That's the problem. They control the life of the person they are with and everything seems fine. A lot of the time the control has been built up over a long period of time and the victim doesn't even realise how bad it is.
@kathydi well done you.
Australian living in Ireland. Husband is Irish but we lived in Australia in the 90's.
Yeah can someone say who they are in reference to their 'job' and what the are supposed to be. Feeling lost AND old.
@bourkemelissa thank you and thank you Claire for being honest about your regret. It shows personal growth to be able to admit when you were wrong.
This is your child at their most powerful time of the day. Every minute they have been overlooked in favour of work, social engagement, day care or after school care or just looking at your phone/tv while you try to decompress is about to be paid back.
