Lollll didn't even think about how CCS coming in would affect them. How does it work though that she (allegedly) home schools the older two? We're not affected by the changes (i study, hubby works full time, and according to them our or if pocket will stay the same) but i can imagine two non working parents is no longer encouraged (because goodness forgive they contribute to the economy beyond their constant consumerism at Ikea and Kmart... two fairly unethical stores in the vegan books)Peachespeonies wrote:Sorry double post. But read this in news earlier. "
About 1.2 million families with children in care are being urged to sign up to the new system by July 2, when the existing Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate will be combined into a single means and activity-tested payment called the Child Care Subsidy.
Both parents must work, study, volunteer or look for work for at least eight hours a fortnight to continue to get subsidies under the new system, which government modelling suggests will encourage 230,000 families to work more hours."
So i guess they will be affected by this? From their posts seems like they don't spend as much as before. I know YouTube don't pay as much as they used to as well.
Did they move house for lower rent? I know certain suburbs is half the price of other suburbs for rents.

With that many kids, they will get quite the government handout via Family Tax Benefit (something all Aussie families under a certain income receive), which makes them less of a liability to landlords. They would also get some rent assistance from Centrelink (I think max is $90/fortnight, but I could be wrong - it could be more with more kids).Tulip24 wrote:I don’t think they moved for cheaper rent as I thought I heard Chloe say in the vlog (where she was showing the new house) that the rent there was dearer than what they were already paying. She did emphasise though that they would save money on fuel because they would be so much closer to everything that they do on a daily basis, yeah right, pull the other one Chloe. I honestly don’t know how they got that house though without a regular income coming in, surely they would be a huge financial risk to the owner.
I also highly doubt that an owner would allow her to remove the wallpaper after only 6 months into the lease, she really is full of herself these days and thinks the world revolves around her.
Once they're four they can go into a kindy program (so preschool in other states) run through a public school and it won't cost them a cent (beyond usual school activity fees and buying the uniform). Honestly saved us a fortune in child care/private preschool fees for my daughter when we moved to WA and discovered this Maybe they moved into a better school district??missparzival wrote:Watch the triplets get pulled out because their daycare.... oops sorry montessori bill will go sky high. I know once the triplets are in kindergarten they get a good amount of help again though. Maybe they are already getting that with them?
Oh ok. When I was enrolling my girls in their new one it asked if I had three in the same year to get an extra bonus.mamawombat wrote:Once they're four they can go into a kindy program (so preschool in other states) run through a public school and it won't cost them a cent (beyond usual school activity fees and buying the uniform).

Nah, I think she's got a point! At 2 my kids didn't socialise much. They didn't enter kindy until 3. Not sure what USA or AU equivalent is but I'm talking the traditional kindy for 3-5yr olds where they go morning or afternoon (sometimes all day) term time only, play all day, have mat time with teachers singing or reading. Similar to what we would have done 30-40years ago. Not a daycare where they take from babies onwards and do nappy chances etc and not a preschool where they make it like a mini-school.KiwiMama wrote:"With one two year old there isn't sny other two year olds around to make being cheeky look so fun"
Ahem... Chloe... you might want to sit down for this. Most parents don't raise their children in isolated bubbles. Most 2 year olds spends hours and hours every week socializing with other kids their age (and younger/older). I know it might be a shock to you. But this situation is in no way unique to you and your hard hard triplets. My kids have picked up oodles of bad habits from friends
My kids weren't in daycare at 2 either but we did playcenter which is kind of like a Kindy except you stay with your child, so they get all the benefits of ECE without it being a daycare and it's run by parents. Plus we did the music classes and had friends with kids the same ages and my kids both have cousins the same ages.Bekkaz wrote:Nah, I think she's got a point! At 2 my kids didn't socialise much.

Kids at 2-4 can be damn hard work and I imagine 3 of your own would be really tiring as one would do something and the other 2 would think it's a good idea so copy. Then repeat! Kids also generally behave more in outside the home situations and play up more for parents.
My kids are 7 and 9, and even they sometimes join forces and egg each other one. I find that annoying and frustrating and hard (and often funny too) and that's with only 2 and also at an age where they can be reasoned with.
Regardless, most kids have either friends or siblings or cousins to egg them on. If you only have one kid and you don’t socialise much, maybe it’s a fair point, but otherwise, there’s always someone around influencing decisions - good, bad, or indifferent. The older boys would’ve been the same. Don’t tell me that Evan and Otto, being less than a year apart, never encouraged “cheekiness” in each otherKiwiMama wrote:My kids weren't in daycare at 2 either but we did playcenter which is kind of like a Kindy except you stay with your child, so they get all the benefits of ECE without it being a daycare and it's run by parents.

Also most kids are daycare kids because most parents these days have to return to work, most people don't get to live off of benefits and fake youtube careers. So I'd say the vast majority to 2 year olds spend oodles of time with kids their age and pick up all the bad habits. It's just a fact of life for most people.
Though honestly I feel like she's probably just having a pointless whinge anyway, there's less than a year between otto and evan and at one point before the trips she experienced having three toddlers at once, so she can't honestly think she's not dealt with this before. We've even seen the older three wind each other up in vlogs.
