Same for me. I struggle to keep on top of the planning for mandatory stuff for my family because I work more than full time and my spouse works full time and it’s just hard.

If work didn’t organise shots at every office I wouldn’t go out of my way to add to my mental load to get it organised for myself.

Whatever is there before baby will be made a thousand fold. Children are amplifiers.

If you and your partner already have a culture of flexibility and support and caring for each other you will be fine. It will still be work and there will still be tough times, but you’ll be able to get through. You’ll probably come out closer than you thought possible.

If either of you have bubbling resentments or distrust, or very rigid ideas about who should be doing what and when, the difficulties may be insurmountable.

In this video about Lavender AI which is Israel’s Palantir, they talk about the accuracy score that the AI gives targets for how sure it is that they are Hamas. It is used to determine how expensive the weapons to take that person out, and how many innocent bystanders they are willing to take out along with that target.

Oof. Poignant.

Would you be able to tell me how to do this? I’m on mobile, I have admittedly only spent a few seconds searching but I can’t see modlogs.

I agree, I would have thought Australia would have very high levels of swimming proficiency compared to other countries. The article doesn’t seem to mention other countries, just the drop in participation/interest within Australia.

1 in 4 schools dropping swimming carnivals is really suprising to me. I’ve got 2 kids, and my oldest has been to quite a few schools due to us moving around a bit, and every single one of them had swimming lessons and carnivals.

Though I’m not suprised that parents are less interested or supportive. My husband and I both work full time, often both do overtime, and schools and daycare can be a little overwhelming at times with all of the events and things that require some level of extra thinking or planning or shopping or crafting on our part.
