Is there any other clothing type where it's "acceptable" to go to the shop, pub etc absolutely filthy? Can't imagine a nurse rocking up for a schooner with blood on their clothes or a butcher with chicken guts on their apron or a journalist with faeces on their Ralph Lauren top being considered ok.

I went to the gym in shorts I'd gardened in the day before, they had dirt and shit all over them.

I'm no Don Burke, but pretty sure shitting yourself isn't a pre-requisite for pulling some weeds.

Don Burke would rather be planting Rosemary behind the garden shed

He's no Gay Search that's for sure.

Well I think he was the type to not take no for an answer, not sure if that means you're a "ladies man"

'A high-grade, twisted abuser': Don Burke a sexual harasser and bully, claims series of women

A major Fairfax/ABC investigation can reveal that behind the scenes those who worked with Don Burke claim he was a "psychotic bully," a "misogynist" and a "sexual predator" who indecently assaulted, sexually harassed and bullied a string of female employees.

He has a mental illness.......or so he says

"For a start I'm an Asperger's person, and I have a lot of other failings that are genetic," Burke said.
He said he found it difficult to look people in the eye and had trouble reading body language.

"I missed the body language and the subtle signs that people give you. I don't see that," he said.

"I suffer from a terrible problem with that. Not seeing. No-one can understand how you can't see it, but you don't."

I swear at my son when he has noise cancelling headphones on

phantom13 do you wear a mask when changing nappies? It helps a lot for me

Can’t say I do but it’s not a bad option.

We’re in a new phase where my wife claims she can’t hold our son down to change him cause he’s squirms so all of a sudden I’m doing like 95% of the nappies…

Feels like I’m getting scammed.

 

[Quivorir]

What advantage does wearing a mask while changing the baby have over not wearing a mask?

 

[Engimal v3]

I like to watch the Live TikTok from Americans and say stuff like, "I love your crazy accent, where are you from?" and then pretend that I haven't heard about the USA

Hahaha. Sounds like she's played you here lol.

How old is your little guy again? 8ish months?

Our little miss moves her arms round a lot but easy enough to still change for the most part.

13 months… and I realise how wanky parent that sounds but honestly now that I have a kid I understand that each month makes an enourmous difference.

12 months not walking, 13 months tearing up the place stumbling around like a drunken teenagwr

I think saying the month age of a kid is fine up to 18 months-2 years, anything after that and you'll cop and eye rolling.....'just say the kid is two'

same goes for our dog which is now over 2 years old - when people asked how old the puppy is, i would say 18 months etc. Now it just '2 years old'

I assumed I’d go 3, 6, 9 months. Then 1 year, 18 months, 2 years then just 6 month increments (and to be fair with non parents I still mostly do that) but month to month is a huge change and actually becomes fairly “important”

This is the "scared old coot who has too many rules for everyone else to follow" shtick.

You should release a book of, say, the top 12.

I used to travel a bit for work when my son was a baby and there would be genuine changes in appearance, behaviour etc even from being away from a Monday to a Friday, remarkable.

And yeah at that age they actively try to make it impossible to put a nappy on them, it's like they're in an MMA fight and they're trying to get someone off them in the mount!
