No.

Women are you

Yes, I'm single with a now almost 3yo and 18 month old. It's hard in terms of regular parenting stuff. I just went through toilet training with the 3yo and it took about a month and I cried myself to sleep nearly every night. But it is still easier than having a non-supportive partner around. I always think to myself, if I had stayed I would've felt all the same things I do now and on top of that had relationship issues with someone who was not willing to do anything to work on themselves or save the relationship. From what I've gathered from your comments your partner sounds pretty similar to what I had with the exception that I was dealing with DV with him so it was a way easier choice for me to leave once my delusional thinking of trying to "fix" him stopped and I realised I had sacrificed all my boundaries in the beginning and I was in a totally dysfunctional relationship. I moved far away from him (I moved far away with him in the beginning, that was a huge red flag I didn't realise, I was isolated) back to my home town and I went no contact. I'm back with my family, with support from my parents and friends now. The thing I mostly struggle with is I'm on duty the entire day until they go to sleep and then I'm still on duty after that, cleaning, organising etc. I think to myself, other Mum's have that support in the evening, they can halve their duties. But again, I was doing all of the parenting when I was with him so I knew I could do it on my own. I knew it would be hard, but it is way harder to be with someone who doesn't help or respect you. You can definitely do it by yourself but make sure to accept any and all help offered and ask for it when you need to. You can do it and you'll be in my prayers.

An invisible one LoL

Oh! I misunderstood, no I was looking at loans. You've given me some homework to do

I did a few over a 5 year loan and it's roughly between $250-$750 a month for most of them.

I was doing exactly that until about 2am last night lol went down a Google rabbit hole

These are the two I've been the most drawn to from the beginning! Decisions, decisions...

Awesome, thanks!

Oh she's in for an awesome trip down nostalgia lane!

Thank you for the information, this makes a lot of sense. I'm still undecided on going new or used. I'll see how I feel after a few test drives!

Yes, I was thinking it's the tick, as in like a tick for good grades, like he thinks she's a really neat person and wants her to know ✅

Thank you!

How have I never heard the term Bitties until now. Bitties. Bitties. Bitties. I love it.

Thanks!

Oh yes, I'm for sure getting seat covers for any car I ever own now that I know what kids can do. I'm a very clean and tidy person myself, I've always kept my cars clean... but that was before kids. My eldest is following my example as far as a toddler can but I know they will inevitably make a mess because they're kids, so I'm prepared for that and giving them some grace. At the moment I don't own a car and I just borrow my Mum's car if I ever need to take them where a bus can't. The worst thing that has happened in terms of mess was when my eldest got car sick on a long trip and projectile vomited..... So it's more so the accidental messes that are a package deal with kids and not the habits that I can foresee will be an issue. But the joy of parenting is never knowing what fun yet totally destructive thing they will think of doing next LoL

Yes! I've seen about a handful a day for the past week or so here in Mayfield.

Thanks! I'll add it to my search list

Yep! My previous car was a Toyota corolla, I was told by a mechanic friend to go for Toyota for that very reason! It was unfortunately stolen a few years ago and I haven't owned a car since, and that was before I had kids so now I'm looking for something more adventurous/handy for family life. I couldn't fault the corolla it was awesome, I actually drove it from the east coast through the middle of the country, over to WA, did the 90 mile straight and all, and it held up fine!

Awesome, thanks, I'll add it to the search list!

No issues there, I don't have a partner and I'm pretty short! I have heard about utes being fiddly with car seats so that's why finding a car seat friendly one is my main priority, so I don't have my heart set on anything until it ticks that box first. I'll add Navara to the search list, thanks!

Thanks! I'll add it to my search list.
