nico_collard Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hopefully Yaes! Where are you all? At that time I would've been on my way back from seeing the neurologist. I wasn't supposed to see him again, but this morning i ended up having two minor seizures, and I ended up in hospital. They did a CT scan which didn't show any new clots, but showed that one of the main arteries in my brain is quite large (not sure how that will affect me). Then eventually I saw the neurologist and it was his opinion that I'd had 2 seizures. I ended up getting discharged at about 3:30, then at 4:30 I went to have an EEG, which showed there was some seizure activity on the left side of the brain so I'm gonna be back on seizure meds.. So I'm absolutely buggered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soangel Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Where are you all? First aid training then minor shopping spree.

Sweet Knees Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 So I know some of you are big youtube watchers (I hope). Also some of you have kids, another area I need expertise in. So hopefully you guys can help me out (education assignment wise again ) Okay firstly I need to know what kind of shows kids (any primary school age, though I'll also take highschool) are watching nowadays at home, and what shows/movies they might have watched recently in the classroom (for parents/people with younger siblings) For others: do any of you have examples of youtube videos which have really stereotypical gender roles to the point of being out there/outrageous/almost ridicilous in how stereotypical/sexist they are? (I'm looking myself but would love suggestions) I will ask the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austerulous Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm so excited! In martial arts class tonight our regional instructor was there and she asked me to do a demonstration at our next grading day. I'm so happy about being asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Knees Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Soangel, I decided not to ask the kids, best to leave them while they are quiet. Here is some info, hope it helps. DS7 and DS10 DD13 and DD4 (I think DS17 is in there too actually) are watching masterchef right now. I think it started from playing Sims3 and running a café on there, the boys in particular, get dressed up just like the sims in aprons and beanies, and cook. DS 7 and 10 aren’t into tv so much these days more games. Their favourites at the moment are Sims and age of empires style games. You could be guaranteed that if all the contestants on masterchef were women, or the sim’s chefs were all girls, they would be way less interested in the whole thing. Its sort of cool for boys/men to be into cooking at the moment. My kids all seem to love watching old re runs of I dream of Jeannie and Bewitched. Which I suppose are pretty stereotypical as far as gender goes, and the women only hold their own cause they have magic on their side. Grace is only 4 but she loves girly stuff. Its weird because I did notice with the boys, that they loved that stuff too, barbie in the nutcracker and the like, until they realised it was ‘girly’ (at around 5-ish - school age) and then they decided they hated it. So I don’t believe they actually hate it (they have an excuse to watch occasionally because they can hide behind the fact that their sister put it on and they appear to enjoy it) but even at that age, as soon as they had input from older kids and classmates) they became worried about putting themselves at risk of appearing girly, or maybe babyish. I suppose its just a survival thing, doing what you think you are meant to do to fit in. A couple of animated shows the boys like are Avatar and Star Wars, and they have some strong female characters. Kids shows do have a lot of power with gender perceptions because I know if I tell Grace something is ‘for boys’ she will instantly veer away from it, and likewise if they boys get a ‘girly’ vibe from a show they will switch off. The popular shows have a big influence over the kids who watch them, usually my kids will watch a show and then if they go and play lego afterwards, they will be re-inacting scenes from the show with the lego men. DD13 is into twilight lol, I don’t think they really watch movies at school. They seem to be very careful to give girls and boys the same experience now, not like when I was there and the girls did cooking and sewing and the boys did woodwork and metalwork. Its hard not to be stereotypical because men and women are different, and although there are many exceptions there are a lot of families where men and women still fit the old mold. I suppose the thing that is shaping my kids ideas more than tv etc, is watching me and DH. I because I have so many kids the older ones have a very clear picture in thier heads of me being home, pregnant, breastfeeding, cooking, cleaning, and DH going to work each day. (My kids are also very used to seeing me mowing the lawn, working on the house, and building things in the garage so I hope that balances it out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artsyfartsy17 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Okay, I know it isn't funny but... No, it is funny! I meant it to be funny.

(I'm looking myself but would love suggestions) Two kids' shows on Cartoon Network that I'm really into right now are Chowder and Flapjack.

mici3023 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Picked up a what? A layby. The greatest invention since sliced bread for the slightly impoverished but hopeful generation. You want something but cant afford it so you put it on layby, dont they call it layaway somewhere out there?, anyway, you pay it off over 6 weeks. Magic.

(I'm looking myself but would love suggestions) 3 year old watches Playschool but recently declared it "naff". Now she watches Winx Club on TV and Barbie and every old Disney fairytale we can get our hands on DVD. Girly girly girly. 10 year old watches The Wizards of Waverley Place (which I recently declared as "naff" but that means nothing) and Escape From Scorpion Island. She watches Twilight, New Moon, Dr Who and Harry Potter on DVD. In the classroom last year they watched James and the Giant Peach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and your attention seeking brain Really am sorry to hear this has happened though. Do the seizure meds make you drowsy? Is that why you dont like taking them? This isn't going to affect your new job is it? Chin up Teegs Tell me about it! I don't notice any real difference in tiredness when I take the seizure meds, but they do affect my INR, so I'm gonna try and get it tested so I can see if my warfarin doasge needs to change.. It shouldn't affect my job, except that I probably won't get paid for yesterday Sorry to hear that babygirl ... did you get my text this morning darl? Thanks again for the message hun ****, sorry to hear that Teegz. How ya feeling now? Its a major bugger to have to be on those meds eh. My sister has to take them everyday too.Glad to hear there were no more clots. Hope all works out for ya Teegz. I'm feeling okay, though i have noticed my arm twitching a few times which is irritating... Once it starts to get into my system I'll be fine... and I love the fact that my neurologist isn't going to report to the RTA that I've had a seizure, cause otherwise I'd have to redo my licence like I did last time! I may not be on again till Friday or so... I have TAFE again tomorrow so I'll prob just go straight to bed rather than come on here... Night all!
