Wtf is this shit. First bloke not even Aussie.

Almost all have been mentioned but I back them!

Viking museum Guinness Storehouse Trinity College Tenple bar and area great fun

I’m very encouraging.

Yeh coz you’d already done year 12 5 times x

Fortunately it’s not just my income we are on. Partner still has maternity leave payments which help. This change is only until December. As for the 3 day thing, I’m sharing a class with a lady who has been doing 2 days a week all school year so I’ve just replaced the other teacher she was sharing with. It’s a nice change but still a lot of work. I have given people phone interviews before and last year was on a panel for hiring new teachers. I had to read over 100 applications etc. Full on, but I quite enjoyed being on the other side of the table during interviews. You really get to see the process differently and how much it means to people. One lady, with a great pedigree just got so nervous she bombed the interview it’s a real tough thing !!

I did that and now working 3 days a week for the rest of the year in a brand new year level for me. Only thing is to manage our finances well enough that this part time life works out alright with our mortgage etc. should be if I stop buying dildos.

Have sent @Stan a PM. You get it?

The PM you sent worked.

Can’t click on members profiles either. How bizarre. In Rab we trust.

That can be the problem with private schools. Yeah we are fortunate enough that I’m dropping to 3 days a week (starting this week) for the rest of the year, to spend more time at home.

Your missus? Good that you have her at home to help!

But it’s a sacrament, a commitment to the church and a demonstration of beliefs? And these schools often ask for evidence. And it does help you get into a school here. That’s the end of that.

Bugger. Hopefully gets better

Sounds like you’re both doing really well! Allergies like hayfever?

It’s one of the sacraments so in my mind it makes sense that it helps. The school/s would take a family or children who have shown commitment to the church over others. I don’t understand how this doesn’t make sense. I am not Catholic either but the public schools in my area are some of the toughest in the city, and there’s zero percent chance I would want to send my girls there - again see what they want in 10 years time lol.

The big deal is the dude won’t let me drink the wine probably Catholic school yeah. It helps. Very competitive to get into private schools here, generally. Having some sort of religious background and/or if your parents went there really helps (apparently). But, that’s a long way off we may not go down that particular direction depending on where we live/the girls’ interests/etc.

Cheers lads. We will be doing it… I’ve just got to think about that it’s really not a big deal and when they’re older they can make their own decision. I do struggle with the fact that they don’t get to choose this! Anyway, now to think of some godparents or however it works haha

So things are flying by! And I am mostly definitely not tired at all… I have been putting this conversation off for a while but it came up again yesterday re baptizing the girls. I am not 1% religious however part of the girls family are. Has anyone had their kids baptised/christened or whatever it’s called(!) yet you’ve not really wanted it? The main reasons for it likely happening are: 1) it’s what happens in my partners family 2) can help the girls get into the private high school we want But yeh morally I find it hard to agree to it… however it’s not just me making this decision!
