kerriej started new topic School kids bonus
Check out this link! http://www.dss.gov.au/our-responsibilities/fami... Basically, it is not abolished yet, but the government will do its best to abolish it by the time the next payment is due.
kerriej replied to topic The Budget!
To be honest I'm concerned that they will cut FTB altogether, or make the payment rate lower it something, but that's my own fear and I've not heard anything indicating they will do ...
kerriej replied to topic The Budget!
I read something today that indicated that a cut to FTB part B has been confirmed. Apparently it will be rolled into the FTB part A and means testing will cap it at people earning $100 K over year ...
kerriej started new topic Getting tubes cut and tied?
I had a tubal ligation last year, at the age of 32. I had very little difficulty getting the doctor to agree to do it. He explained the procedure, the risks, and the alternatives, and when he was s...
kerriej replied to topic puberty starting already???
My ten year old DD got her first period last month. Prior to that she had been hormonal and developing for the last couple of years. She knew what periods are and why we have them, and as my kids h...
kerriej replied to topic Gov't scrapping Advisory Panel for marketing Infant Formula.
I don't know where they should be cutting, but getting the debt ceiling raised isn't a good sign in my opinion. I also think that surely there are better options than privatising HECS deb...

My children believe in santa, and yes I have encouraged it, just like I have encouraged them to believe in fairies and ghosts and other such things that people may or may not believe in. For us the...
kerriej replied to topic Study with a toddler + being pregnant, advice!?
I imagine that would be intense; a lot of things to learn in a relatively short amount of time! It's also quite practical, so I can see why it's not possible externally. You could just wa...
kerriej replied to topic Study with a toddler + being pregnant, advice!?
Yes, when you describe it in that way, I tend to agree with you; it might just be too much to take on all at once, and you will be busy/stressed in those early months after having your baby, and it...
kerriej replied to topic Study with a toddler + being pregnant, advice!?
That is very exciting! Congratulations on your pregnancy and your course! Are the eleven weeks you have to attend all at once? Or dispersed throughout the year? Is it possible for you to use childc...
kerriej replied to topic Worried about DS2 :(
Yes I see where you are coming from. I suppose my perspective may not be the norm, but I do believe I have an enlightened perspective on many things, not just autism. It often shocks me that others...
kerriej replied to topic Worried about DS2 :(
He he. I don't wish to look at my thesis again for some time, but I will have to soon because we are going to try to get it published. My daughter is just fine! She has a deep cut on her chin ...
kerriej replied to topic Worried about DS2 :(
That's fair enough. I've talked to many other adults with autism who see things from another perspective, but we are all allowed to have our own opinion and views on things. I've nev...
kerriej replied to topic Worried about DS2 :(
I actually assumed you would know that, but I wanted to mention it anyway. I understand tiredness. I have a mountain of washing to fold and put away because I've been unable to do it in weeks....

Oh, and ancient civilisations! She was extremely interested in Pompeii and Macchu Picchu, and has read loads about Atlantis, and at one stage she wanted to become an explorer and find it! My person...

My daughter has those problems too. She doesn't often feel the urge to use the toilet, but she is slowly getting better. She has problems with social skills and communication too. She might n...
kerriej replied to topic Worried about DS2 :(
My daughter was diagnosed 'with severe features' but that definitely doesn't reflect on her ability to live life. She is a very intelligent person, at least a year above average for ...

Believe me, I know it's hard not to worry, but worrying won't get you anywhere, but it will take it's toll on you. It's good that you are noticing developmental milestones - I d...
