Re: What do you want to vent about today?
Not ignoring my beautiful high achieving, athletic, and sensitive daughter is always playing on my mind. She is so much more self sufficient than her older brother I sometimes am guilty of expecting more from her. But sometimes she just wants to be a 10 yr old and not my second in command. I have t...

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I’m very lucky bb41, I’m have shared custody and I have a minimum 50% custody. I work fly in fly out so when I have the kids I’m not working and work is 3,500km away so they are my absolute first priority. I do school canteen duties, reading groups, attend and volunteer at all the sporting events e...

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
It is so difficult when the youngsters are still around, it adds heaps of pressure into the equation , and yet the very thing I was trying to do was give my children a great life and it had the opposite effect. All they really wanted was me around a lot more and not be at the end of my tether 24/7 ....

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I burnt out very young due to stress of work , I was back at my desk within hours of having daughter number 2 until I finally had to pack it in. My finances took a nose dive drastically but I felt it better to be poor and stress free than comfortably off and dying on the inside. Thankfully I have ne...

Re: The next prime minister
What jobs are people realistically expected to do, and do well, into their mid-'70s..?? There can't be too many.....maybe menial jobs at best, and surely that would have to have some kind of impact at the other end of the age spectrum ?? I know a lot of the more mature gentlemen and ladies are acti...

Re: The next prime minister
Regular readers of my political rants will know that I've been banging on about the aged for some time. They cost money. A lot of money. When the pension first came in people were expected to live no more than a handful of years post retirement. Now it's around 20 years. That's 20 years of being pa...

Re: Dignity in Dying
It really is such a difficult subject. Personally I've had 3 different scenarios... My brother had an accident and my Mum agreed to switch his life support when he was only 20 ...if he had had the accident now he could have recovered most likely with the advance of science. My Dad died at 60 with a ...

Re: What are you doing today ??
Zeus isn't aggressive but he is vocal and when he's grumbling it doesn't sound very pleasant ..we have to make sure the builder is OK around him and vice versa. The other Dane is also in your face but she tends to lick and the others are just annoying Please tell me the other dog's name is Apollo, ...
