Sharing the situation in a post on the U.K.-based forum Mumsnet, the mom explained that they have an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old, who her husband looks after during school breaks as he works from home three days a week. She said her son is often invited to a friend's house once or twice 'for a play date' during school holidays. However, her husband is refusing to let him go this time because their daughter 'starts whining that she's bored and wants to go to her friends for a play date.' 'Occasionally, that's feasible, but sometimes it isn't, and if it isn't, she will become upset,' the mom said of her daughter.

The comments section of the post was flooded with people arguing it's unfair to expect her husband to watch both children while working and accusing the parents of expecting the 9-year-old to keep the 8-year-old entertained. 'I think what's unreasonable is your husband doing childcare instead of working,' one person said. 'Does his work know? It's people like your husband that will get the rest of us 'actual workers' dragged back into the office. Get proper childcare sorted out.' 'There is no way he should be caring for 2 dcs [dear children] while working,' another chimed in. 'It's a recipe for disaster. It sounds like he is relying on the 9yo to watch & entertain the 8yo. Can you organize a babysitter for that day?' 'I do think 8/9 is a bit young to be fully fending for themselves while dad works,' a third commented. 'Best to focus on actual childcare; book some holiday clubs, a bit of annual leave from each of you, and it won't seem so stressful.'

They 'Just Found Out Yesterday' About Winning A '$1.5M Judgment 28 Years Ago.' Now They're Asking: What Do I Even Do With This?
One poster recently surprised Reddit's r/legaladvice community after discovering that their father had been awarded a $1.5 million court judgment nearly three decades ago—and never knew about it. The post, titled 'Won $1.5M judgement 28 years ago and just found out yesterday,' got a lot of attention after the person explained how they came across the information by accident. "Yesterday, while searching the Bronx County court records for my father in a separate matter, we found record of a workers' comp case filed on his behalf in '97," the person wrote. Don't Miss: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — According to the post, the poster's father lost three fingers in a factory accident in 1996. The family had recently immigrated to the U.S. at the time, and he spoke no English. "The issue is my father had no idea that this lawsuit was even filed," the poster wrote. Though he sat for a deposition, he was allegedly told by the company that nothing would come of the case. The family then moved, changed phone numbers, and assumed that was the end of it. They later added, 'It feels to me like things weren't handled correctly and I want to make sure he is compensated appropriately as our lives could have been much different had he received this money.' Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . Expired Judgment? Most commenters were quick to point out that New York judgments typically expire after 20 years unless they are renewed. "In New York, a judgment is deemed unenforceable after 20 years. If nothing was done to renew the judgment, it's dead now," wrote one commenter, who identified themselves as a lawyer. However, several people noted that exceptions exist in cases involving fraud or malpractice. 'Sometimes the law allows for an extension of deadlines where there's fraud or another good reason,' one person pointed out. Another added, 'If the lawyer collected on the judgment, then a claim could exist against the lawyer for your father's share.' But, as someone said, 'I'd be afraid someone filed and collected on his behalf without ever telling him, maybe even someone at the company.'Redditors with legal experience weighed in with suggestions on what steps to take. First on the list: track down the original attorney or firm. Even if they have since left the industry, they may still have records or owe a duty to account for any funds. "Contacting the attorney would be a very helpful start," wrote one poster familiar with bar association procedures. "There's a decent chance they still have a hard copy of the files in a box somewhere." Another crucial step? Search the New York State Comptroller's unclaimed funds database. Multiple commenters said they had found forgotten funds owed to them through the site. One even commented, "I just made my rent this month" after finding a claim in their name. And if it turns out the money was never paid? The family may have a legal malpractice case if the attorney failed to inform them of the judgment or disbursed funds improperly. A few commenters speculated that the case might have involved subrogation, where the workers' compensation insurer sues a third party – like the machine manufacturer – on the injured worker's behalf. In that case, most or all of the money could have gone to reimburse the insurer. Still, the original poster is determined to pursue answers: "We'll be contacting the original lawyer and a few other avenues mentioned here," they wrote.

‘Constant fear': Inside the grim reality 1 in 6 Australians face
Ever since she was a little girl, Jas Rawlinson has suffered from anxiety. Growing up in an unpredictable and violent household, the Brisbane mum recalls feeling an overwhelming sense of fear and worry from a very young age. The trauma that unfolded inside the four walls of her childhood home had in turn impacted every facet of her life. She was left feeling anxious and stressed about pretty much everything: things at home and school, upcoming exams and assignments, her relationships with friends and family, her body and the pressure of looking 'pretty', as well as worrying about both her present and her future. Her father was violent. Living through that, she always believed if he was no longer around that she might feel 'normal'. Sadly, this was far from the truth. After he took his own life when she was just 18, her life reached a breaking point and the feelings of anxiety within her exploded as she was left feeling a confusing mixture of guilt, loss and even relief. 'My mental health issues only escalated from here,' Jas explained to 'It left me with even more layers of trauma after he decided to take his life rather than reach out for help or be accountable for his behaviour. 'This left me with more layers of trauma. This resulted in a lot of drinking and risk-taking behaviour, in an attempt to escape from the depression and anxiety.' Jas said that her anxiety would manifest in different ways throughout her teenage years and into adulthood, but at the time, it was hard to recognise what she was feeling. Australia is in the grips of a mental health crisis, and people are struggling to know who to turn to, especially our younger generations. Can We Talk? is a News Corp awareness campaign, in partnership with Medibank, equipping Aussies with the skills needs to have the most important conversation of their life. Being a person who is also neurodiverse, she explained that she was never certain whether her anxiety was due to childhood trauma or if it was already part of her genetic makeup. 'Even something as simple as being two minutes late to see a friend, or not arriving early to a concert would leave me feeling as though the world was going to end,' Jas said. 'It also resulted in me pursuing a lot of unhealthy relationships. I was just so nervous and anxious about ever hurting anyone's feelings. 'Although my anxiety has eased over the years, especially after being in a healthy relationship with my husband for over 12 years, I do still struggle at times.' Jas recalls how her lowest point came after she gave birth to her son, as becoming a mother made everything feel more intense and difficult. She was plagued by the constant fear and lingering worry that something bad was going to happen to her child. 'Going through more than a year of sleep deprivation, and my husband being away for six months with work, left me feeling more fragile than ever,' she recalled. 'I remember moments where I was sitting on the floor crying because I was so overwhelmed, or just living with a constant fear of something happening to my baby. 'Not enough people talk about the way that motherhood and our innate biological need to protect our babies can increase anxiety and lead to a constant fear of something going wrong. 'But it's very real. Even now, I generally run on a fair amount of nervous energy.' While she feels her anxiety is usually triggered by certain situations rather than a constant state of being, when an attack does occur, it can be debilitating. 'During an anxiety attack I feel like my skin is crawling and I can't sit down,' she said. 'I have to move, I have to eat, I have to do something. My stomach feels like it's hollowing itself out and my throat feels tight and constricted. 'In the aftermath, I can suffer from stomach pains, bloating and gastro-like symptoms for a full day afterwards – especially if I've had a PTSD trigger.' Over the years, Jas has found different ways to cope with the common condition. 'I've chosen to stay away from anti-anxiety medications,' she revealed. 'I've had good experiences with a psychologist who I've seen on and off over the last 10 years, but to be honest, 'talking' has not often gotten to the root of my anxiety or fears. 'For me, the most effective tool has been the use of EFT/Tapping. I use a lot of Brad Yates' videos on YouTube, and they've helped me enormously.' While it can be intense at times, Jas said these tactics can help tremendously in dealing with anxiety when it arises at different times throughout her life. 'It's incredibly debilitating and exhausting,' she explained. 'Having to exert so much energy thinking and worrying about things going wrong, or threats (whether real or unlikely) is mentally taxing. 'The lack of sleep, the way it destroys relationships and convinces some of us to isolate, or to engage in risky behaviours in an attempt to silence the anxiety is real and debilitating.' The mum added that she feels Australia could be doing more to raise awareness and that there needs to be more options available for treatment, rather than always relying on medication for every case. 'I'd like to see more focus on lived-experience stories and what has worked for those experiencing anxiety,' she said. 'I'm not here to demonise pharmaceutical options, but too many doctors try to put people straight onto anti anxiety medication, which may not be the right fit. 'They may also cause side effects that they'd rather avoid, when something else may be more effective. 'For example, most people aren't aware that engaging in weight/resistance training twice per week, for eight weeks, has been scientifically proven to greatly reduce anxiety. 'Journaling, EFT, and finding the right balance of nutrients/exercise can also help a lot.'
