    My worst sleep injury is recent. I scratched it and slept on it funny. I caught cellulitis. Wouldn’t recommend it.
    On another note. You 2 are great. So real. Most of us relate to you. I also agree the government needs to take care of it’s own first. Charity starts at home. It’s a similar thing in the UK, they’ve just given 2.5 billion to the Ukraine recently.

    Hey guys. Get a hard ball (massage ball) the size of a tennis ball, and put it on a hard wall and lean the sore spot on the I'm assuming in your levator scapula muscle/tendon (insertion is at the top inside corner of your scapula). Lean that onto the ball right on that spot and hold it there for a mintue, let it go down. You can lean on a sore spot and tilt your head down, up, to the side. Can resist against your hand when you tilt your head. Lean on it to the point where it kind of hurts, but relieving pain. Give it time to release. Then ice that spot for about 30 mins atleast. Do it ever day or second day. Hope that helps 👌🏼

    We were very fortunate to have raised our two wonderful boys with mum at home, this was 30 years ago. Back then, the difference between my wife working & the cost of child care meant that she/we would only see the kids a few hours a day, and the dollar cost was that we would be worse off at around $40- a week if mum stayed at home. It really was a no brainer, but we went without & without a lot to raise the kids at home. Our boys turned out beautful & we have a lovely relationship with them. Unfortunately our boys 'need' to put their kids in childcare, it's simply a different world now. It's more than than family subsidies the government needs to consider, its a huge restructuring of tax system, immigration, macro/micro economics. I really dont think any government has the nerve. The points you make are pertinent & really need to be considered for a healthy viable country going forward. Good job for raising such an important social issue.

    Completely agree with you on this. I gave up my corporate job after I had my son, I tried going back after a year but it was just too difficult for me to be away from my son. So I ended up taking 3.5 years off in total and returned when my son wasn't happy not being around other kids, he started asking for school. The problem with taking career breaks like this is that I had to start over in the company I'm currently in and it's a struggle. I still feel horrible over working but I have to financially. It just sucks and there needs to be more support for parents. Having said that, you don't get the time back when they are that little and I cannot fathom how people put little babies into daycare.

    Abandoned child here!
    I was one of those children who definitely had such a hard time adjusting to the abandonment I felt as a child just because my mum had to work. I can’t tell you how much I hated her and just never forgave her because my child self just couldn’t reconcile the crying for months I did because she had to work.
    As I got older I knew it was wrong I just couldn’t get over it. It’s so dumb. But it really affected me to the point I took a major pay cut and became a stay at home Mother who puts all her attention on her kids.
    But I do have to say that one of my kids does kinda get embarrassed that I don’t have a job like all the other super mums out there.
    Also no matter what age you put your kid into school or daycare you will have a good 18 months of sickness as they adjust getting used to being round lots of kids.
    Your kid probably won’t get foot and mouth disease if you miss day care which is pretty much a major one all kids who go to day care get, but you will have colds and flu and fevers etc for a good 18mthz no matter when you put them in.

    Bengay or tiger balm for neck pain...comfrey and ginger in a carrier oil or made into a salve would also work for the neck. Cold for immediate pain in muscle and joints and/or inflammation.....hot for chronic pain, muscle spasms and stiffness. If the neck pain persists for longer than a week then ask your doctor about a trigger point injection to force the muscle to release. Also, if it gets better and you return to your workouts make sure you warm it up properly before your routine, either in a hot tub or sauna then using some dynamic stretching beforehand, static stretching afterward. If I had to guess your injury is on the same side you hold your little guy on the majority of the time.

    When our first son was about 8 months old, my husband and I brought him to a in-home daycare. I knew something was not right after calling to check on him and the lady never picked up. She said she was busy with the kids. We wanted to give it another try and dropped him off the next day. He clung to my husband and refused to let go.
    We knew something was wrong and I took the day off of work.
    I begged my in-laws and parents to watch him.
    That was the last time we ever used a private daycare.

    From a mum of 5. I feel your pain 😞 with the teething. You feel soooo helpless as if like with my first 2 daughters literally nothing helped. It's awful to have your tiny one in pain and them wanting you to fix it cause that's literally your job and you to be able to do not much but offer things that don't really work and lots if hugs. But they get through it. And mostly it's the first few that seem to upset them the most. Those further back just seem to pop up. Just keep up with your best. You'll get through it together.
    On the child care thing. My 3y old son is autistic. And him being with other people and other kids especially after being born during early lock down so spent his first year with no real outside contact. He's has come on soooooo much. Though he did start at 2y. I can't say I personally would put my new baby in childcare as I feel they need you too much. But at the same time I'm never going to say a mother that needs to do so is doing wrong, as she's doing the very best she can for her child/children/family. No mum should feel ir be made to feel guilty for whatever path they might choose. Whether that's stay at home or working.
    And definitely if a mum wants to be at home with baby but has no choice but to work there should get things that can be put in place to help. Either financial help or more access to working from home.
    I can't really say how things work for most as I'm I'm the UK, so only have hiw things work here to go on.
    But no matter the country atm we seem to be seeing more money for MPs/government and going out to things that don't help the country. And less used to help the most venerable areas. Its not on, and seems that we are left turning to charities to help.

It's clearly a scam, to line the pockets of the government and business crims involved. However, meanwhile it's all been paid at the expense of taxpayers, in services across the board slashed and the ongoing cost of living crisis.

    I was doing a cert 3 in childcare and had to do over 300 hours worth of physical work to get the cert (which is fine made sense) alone with written tasks. Every week I would finish the writen work and email my childcare a week in advance asking them to sign off saying they supervised me doing a task such as changing a nappy. Every week I would walk in and be told they were to busy to supersize and I just had to work. So I would still do tasks such as change nappys but not get the signature. This kept happening to the point where I my have not even been able to graduate highschool because I didn’t complete the cert. and had to drop out of childcare and take another subject that I had to pass or again I wouldn’t graduate. and to top it all off I was paid $9 an hour

I did take them a few days a week at 3 or 4 to a kids' art school . It was 2 , 3 hours a day a few days a week. Basically, so I could have a few hours to myself.

    My youngest is 7 and I stayed home with her until she was 5. It was the best thing I ever did. It’s a hard decision either way. The government should pay moms to stay home for at least a year or either parent who is ants to stay home.

Also where my son goes I have a great Ozick program and all sorts of stuff like that. My little fella loves it. He has no abandonment issues because it’s the same as if he’s with grandma or whatever he’s just with his friends instead of mommy but he knows mummy is coming back towards the end of the day. We discussed what he’s gonna do on the way to childcare and then on the way back from childcare we discussed what he’s done during the day, and when I ask him if he had fun, he always says yes and he gets so excited to go the next day. He loves running to get his backpack and put his shoes on after we brush our teeth.

    My ex and i split up when my son was about a year old.. sad but its life. We both work and live separately and i had pretty much full custody, but i had to put him in daycare during the day and i felt terrible about it but i didn't have a choice.. now i work days and he's 10 and goes to school during the day.. sometimes its our only option to keep a job and pay bills.

    While I totally agree with y'all when it comes to kids being with parents more and not using daycare, especially when they are very young! However, I have to defend giving to Ukraine, as an American we have given a lot and I think we should give more, Ukraine is in a fight for their survival and our people act like our 1st world problems are more important than their kids even getting to live and have the freedoms we take for granted. They didn't start the war they are forced to fight, they don't get a choice, especially since we would do the same for our country, our governments waste money plenty of other ways without picking on Ukraine, that has only been going on for less than 2 years! I think y'all are great, I just wanted to let y'all know that Ukraine isn't causing our countries problems and so focusing on them is leaving the true problems unresolved, so will only get worse!

    Watching this and commenting along.
    I lot of parents would want to stay at home and I think the reaction your talking about when mums look at you for being a stay at home mum is jealously because they can’t stay at home.
    Also, contractors and other private outlets that help the government often gouge the government because they are just going to pay it anyway, we need independent gov. institutions (like the abc) that does jobs for the government because it would be soo much more cheaper.
    And yes, the fair work legislation needs to updated to mandate companies to pay at least another 9 months of paid maternity leave.

    The daycare illnesses is so true! My nephew is sick (no exaggeration here!) every month! To compare my almost 4 year old has had a cold 3 times in his life. It bothers me that his parents send him as they both have doctorate degrees and could easily live off one salary. My husband and I make probably a third of what they do and are expecting our third child. We will never send our kids to daycare and plan to homeschool at least until they are a bit older. All that said and we manage to be just as financially well off as my nephews family. It all just depends on how you choose to spend your money (on your own wants and desires or your child’s well being).

    Ps I recently “slept wrong” it sounds so silly but a few weeks back I couldn’t even my neck to one side specifically and it was so painful I just didn’t move it for the first day and had some ibuprofen, the next day I thought I’d atleast stretch it (I looked them up on google) and I stretched my neck very slowly in the morning and then in the arvo just for maybe 3mins. That seemed to help with the movement but for me it was a waiting game and it was about a week and then it was fine. Very annoying though and I hope it feels better soon! If mine wasn’t better after a week I was going to go to the doctor, but it had resolved by then. And ps you are looking hot! You always do! Your makeup is also spot on, and you’re glowing! Take care guys

    Atticus is beautiful! This is how you do it, like you two. The baby needs to be close. It’s crucial for a person’s development that they are held, stroked. Every time you stroke a baby, electrons flow and nerve cells grow. I haven’t got children, unfortunately, but I didn’t want to raise a boy without a father. I didn’t want to not be able to be with my child as much as possible for at least the first year.

    Im childless, but with the cost people are talking about it being 25k a year. Its pretty much cheaper for a parent to take a PT job and thats a rough choice for a parent to pick or "downgrade" work life.
    But then there is a bias when parents are going for jobs "around kids" if they wish to work PT.

    I’m off for 12 months currently, my husband is having to work 6 day weeks to keep up with the house payment, I am so lucky to have him and spending time with my bubba, my mum is helping us with a ‘Bub payment’ of $150 per fortnight just so we can eat. I would have to send Bub to kindy and work full time without it. It should be a $30,000 12 month off payment for mothers, I praise the kindy workers but I would love to be the one raising my child.

  • @Hardcore-Productions
    @Hardcore-Productions 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Children develop their attachments between 9-12 months. I think there needs to be more to be done to allow one, if not both parents to spend more time with their newborn during that initial year period. It is insanely important for the child's development that they feel an actual attachment to their parents rather than just caregivers. In saying that though, there are a lot of daycare centers that work with parents to allow their children an easy transition between home and daycare. It isn't this monstrous, life-scarring thing that it is made out to be if the proper precautions are put into place to limit potential triggers and trauma.

    I agree. I hate to just blame feminism for all this, if a woman wants to chase a career all the best to her. But as a man I can I say I know men who actually just dream to be able to uphold the family on his own income. Shame on anyone who looks down on stay at home mothers. All boys and girls need their mum and are fair better with their mother than the government! She is raising the next doctor, prime minister, architect, engineer. Love to all mums doing the best for their little ones ❤

    (Also… people in power are making it difficult for people to stay home because they want the kids to grow up relying on them/the system vs their parents. Also I know i save money staying home because my income would just cover paying for daycare. I don’t get my hair done etc I find second hand items most of the time. There are ways to sacrifice my comforts to give my kids what they need.)

    I think that at the end of the day you can’t win as a mum, no matter what you do someone’s always going to say that it was the wrong choice but I think it’s like all decisions in life. You have to way up your options and decide what’s best for you and your child Raising children is a very individual experience which needs to be thoroughly thawed out by the parent for what’s gonna work for each individual child each child is different and has different developmental needs. My child is an only child and has really flourished from starting at daycare part time, but he literally only goes for the same hours that he would be at school or kindernow at two years four months, he very much enjoys the few hours with the other kids, his friends and then we get to have more quality time either side of that together

    I would have loved being a stay at home mom until the kids got older. I was so lucky though because I had my parents and my very good friend, so I didn't have to take my kiddo anywhere they came to our house helped so much. It sucks having to have two incomes. to top it all off I also was trying to finish school so that I could make more money cause we were barely making it with both of us working full time and my husband also went back to school. Much of it had to do with with where he was working closed their doors and so he lost his great paying job. It sucked. I feel lucky in a lot of ways but, I hate that we both have to work. Now my kids are older and I sadly, I or their dad have to miss a lot of different things for after school due to work. Not to mention it is hard to get off work at 5 pm just to try to get them to anywhere they need to go (and enjoy it) plus have a good meal for them to top it off. Then to get done at like 9pm or so depending, then rush them off to bed only to turn around and do it all over again, for 5 days straight and only have two days off where all the shit around the house still has to get done. Leaving little time for relaxing or fun, and when I do try to just have fun I end up feeling bad for not doing the other stuff. I am lucky I can take some vacation, but it sucks to just have that to look forward to and to feel like it is a rat race coming home cause stuff did not get done while being gone. I am trying to teach my kids differently and I hope they can make it happen.

  • @sirshade222

    Problem is, last time widespread maternity leave started to become standard coincidently the "wage gap" started to increase. So you increase maternity leave for a woman, she's been there for only a couple months, basically out of training and she decides to have a kid...hard to give someone a promotion and raise if they weren't there for the year. Not to mention that would guarantee to create a hiring bias for certain positions that don't require large teams that could normally pick up the slack. If it's a small dept in a small company they might not be able to risk hiring a woman of childbearing age because not only would they be paying for maternity leave they'd have to hire someone else to do the job (hire another young women you might need to do it again)....as for the government paying for it? Yea good luck. They'll spend hundreds of millions to kill your baby but you're on your own if you want to take care of them and are a citizen.

    I'm incredibly glad to hear the Ukraine stuff from some Aussies. You can't put other countries ahead of the well being of your own people. And they aren't even taking money out of your pocket to do it, they are just inflating the currency so they can appear like they aren't hurting you, on paper. But that vastly decreases your spending power through inflation. I feel for the people of Ukraine, but it's literally breaking the banks of the entire west. In the US we have a migrant crisis where cities are failing to support their native population while clearing out schools so people who illegally entered the country have a place to stay. It's terrible.
