    Grandparents: should you charge your kids for looking after your grandkids?

    I volunteered to care for my two step grandkids a few days a week until they were school age. Bc I did it for nothing their parents were able to send them to a private school when they turned 5. I got a lot of joy out of looking after them as well as knowing I had given them a great start in life.

    Abandoned by my siblings.

    So sorry to read about your pain. This scenario is more common than you think. The most moral member of the family is ostracised bc they put people before money, a rare quality these days. Possibly bc they make the others feel guilty by showing them up for who they are. By cutting you off they...

    Do you have stories about your dads swooping in to save the day?

    Back in the 60’s before modern Kmart & reject shops existed my year 2 teacher didn’t know where to find (magic) wands for the seven fairies who would be staring in our Cinderella pantomime. Enter my dad who carved timber sticks and stars out of wood which he spray painted silver, sprinkled with...

    ‘It’s soul-destroying’: how people on a housing wait list of 175,000 describe their years of waiting

    Good point. I worked full time for over 30 years & tried to pay off a place by myself but unfortunately illness got in the way. It annoys me when perfectly strong, healthy people abuse the safety net. If you are young & fit & stay that way for a good 25 years you can still own a home somewhere...

    Are you at risk? The new Eris COVID-19 strain is causing a sudden surge in cases!

    No it’s not coincidence. Experimental mRNA vaccines are neither safe nor effective.

    Are you at risk? The new Eris COVID-19 strain is causing a sudden surge in cases!

    Don’t any of you dare get any (more) mRNA experimental vaccinations. They are proving to be neither safe nor effective. Our TGA 90% financed by big pharma did not test the novel vaccines like they usually do. Like most countries we too simply took the now corrupt WHO’s word for it. As a result...

    What are your thoughts on King Charles III's coronation?

    Take the people of Denmark, Jordan & Dubais for example. I don’t see them denigrating their heads of state. On the contrary they show great respect for tradition and thoughtful leadership. We must be the only culture in the world that wishes to cancel itself. That would be to our detriment.
