He's got a voice like an office worker telling you that you have to notify the supervisor when you take a pen out of the stationery cupboard.

Wow, kids whose parents abandon them at daycare every day and never see them are a bit maladjusted. That's totally the same thing as this, it's literally the same.

I feel like the sort of parent who'd literally abandon their child at daycare at every given opportunity wouldn't be the best parent if they were forced to care for the child. Also, regarding NAPLAN: I vaguely recall doing a standardized test in year 3 in the 90s. Sounds kinda similar coz we got a report card that said stuff like "froglet has a reading age of X" and stuff like that. froglet fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Oct 18, 2018 |

I've worked in schools, and it's a pretty consistent phenomenon that kids who never see their parents except at the end of a really long work day have it rough. There's a free chapter on this kind of thing here if anyone wants to read more. The chapter's brief summary: quote:If young children were only sporadically or briefly exposed to child care, we might not need to be concerned about the portrait of child care quality and its associations with developmental outcomes that emerges from this review of research. But child care is an enduring fixture on the early childhood landscape, starting within the first few months of life, for substantial hours each day, and continuing up to school entry and beyond. Apart from the evidence that children's developmental trajectories are influenced by the child care they experience, the day-to-day quality of young children's lives is profoundly affected by the quality and continuity of their experiences in child care. It appears that even small improvements in ratios and training, and relatively modest compensation initiatives, can produce tangible improvements in the observed quality of care. But the larger need is for communities to create more viable systems of child care that do not tolerate unsafe and unstimulating settings, actively promote and reward high-quality care, stem the tide of staff turnover, and enable parents at all income levels to avail themselves of quality care for their children

If only there was some kind of universal but basic means of income so parents didn't have to put their kids in ft long day care unless they really wanted or had a centre that met their desired length of educational outcomes.

Maybe we could have high enough wages that only one parent has to work themselves to death instead of both.

If only wage growth and cost of living was at the levels older generations enjoyed where you could have one stay at home parent and still afford to live. Oh well nothing we can do, let's poo poo on the parents

Isn't it weird how the MUA shut down Fremantle docks today, in an unprecedented show of force in protest against BP attempting to terminate their Kwinana Refinery EBA, and in aid of the Change the Rules campaign in general; got 4-5000 unionists on the streets of Perth; and there isn't anything on any of the news websites? Except for 9's facebook page, where they underestimated the turnout by an order of magnitude, as usual.

If you couldn't afford childcare your kids had to come to work with you or stay with Grandma or whatever. Not working has always been an exclusive luxury of rich (white) women.

Yeah but I'm not "poor" - I earn 100k, and my partner still had to go back to work last week because we're having to put our power bills on payment plans without her income. Someone sitting in the equivalent wage 30 years ago (respective to the median) would not have to worry about whether or not the power was going to be cut off or the gas bill direct debit bouncing. ps: I don't go out, I barely ever drink, don't smoke, bring my own lunch to work, take the train and cycle to the station and it's still a crapshoot whether I'll be in the overdrawn by pay day. Cost of living is the hugest elephant in the room. Mortgages are part of it, but if power, gas, rego, groceries, rates, loving petrol etc weren't all so obscene due to runaway capitalism and privatisation, you'd still be able to manage on 75k single income with the kind of repayments I have. As it is, I don't know how anyone on the median wage manages to not slip into spiraling debt. Rent being cheaper than it's been in a while probably helps in Perth, but you're definitely not getting into the housing market on that.

I run aircon all the time in our 3 bed house with a small child and 270 for 2 months is a runaway bill for us. Do you have led lights everywhere? They can be bought for a few bucks, last for years and use like 5W each.

No solar, gas hot water and heating, LED lights everywhere. Partially because partner and kids have been home all day for the past 4 months, so tv on, lights on, server draws a bit I guess (can't afford a low power SOC so it's an i7 3770), but for a 4 bedroom house with someone up most of the time because baby, I wouldn't consider 500 to be that crazy. Gas is 200/month atm which is gross but I'm hoping it'll go down now the heater isn't running 24/7. In my old place, 3 bed with reverse cycle, $700 bills weren't unheard of.

Yeah your bill seems fairly normal I did see a noticeable reduction in my power usage by changing to a Raspberry Pi torrent and file server
