To be fair tho, colonisation is the reason a lot of Māori don’t know their language. I’m white fyi - and if white people don’t come here and beat them for speaking it then they wouldn’t have to learn it. Buuut that’s another chat for another day and I get what you’re saying. I just didn’t take her post how you did, she did outright say they can’t afford it.
I get it, but I just know her too well and what her message was truly about.

She did after 6months and people became suspicious. She thought she was quite smug thinking she hid a lot from people but some knew what was happening.
I think her comment comes out the wrong way. Basically saying way back in the past if the language hadn’t been lost more people would be speaking it today. However, there are a number of free classes. I know this one waa full time and complete immersion but he could go to a number of classes local to them.
I used to like her but I feel there are a lot of excuses in her life now. Back in the early days, I felt she was very out together and wouldn’t have suspected ADHD at all! Now it seems her excuse for everything. Say this as had a few friends now diagnosed and that’s all we hear from them. Everything comes back to their ADHD as it’s an excuse!
Ive got people at my work place that have ADHD and it's almost like they use it to explain everything they do. Then suggest others should get tested because of one or two certain things they do. It's the new IT thing to have.
As for Rebecca, her kids are at a partially emmerced te reo school and wasn't she doing some sort of course through there so I'm sure that's something that he could look at as well. I just get the feeling it's just another one of those things they jumped into without thinking like the time she decided she wanted to be a midwife. But I think this time they've really got themselves in a bind. There is so much left to do to finish off that house, not sure where they're going to get the money to do that in a hurry. The door is left open regularly at night, so I'm sure it's even watertight.

My 2 kids have been taught Te Reo at school and there are plenty of places to learn ! She lives in Christchurch right ? They have a school that purely focuses on Maori education!

And another classic fake hand bag

So ick

What !!! When did he do that
but speaking of lfyd! I see he’s promoting the say no ap ! Does that mean he’s not drinking coke ( or any Coca Cola drinks ) and no cadburys products?
Exactly! So many resources here in Christchurch to continue his learning.

finau : my new gf is my whole world. The rest of my family comes second and I’m busy being drunk high and in love.
also finau: now my dads dead I actually miss him even though I didn’t talk to him while he was alive. I finally have my kids with me but I’m too busy mourning the loss of someone I ignored to enjoy it.
Say what?? Is she doing lickety splits now? So she has a new girlfriend, has some of her children back and she's still on here saying how miserable life is?

Rebecca, colonisation didn't force you to overextend your mortgage, give up all your businesses and jobs and try and live the sweet life on no salary with a new pool. I bet Jared needed some space as she's... a lot.
Can I also just say that Rebecca's parents might be the best but JFC Rebecca expecting her parents to basically nighttime parent Aggie and live in their ruined house while Rebecca lives in their small house because they didn't manage their renos? No way would I be ok with my parents doing that when I'd made poor choices. Rebecca basically wants it all without doing any work. Seriously- that's an expensive pool, brand new personal training business. Why can't Jared do his youth work and see PT clients in the evening? Many of us have multiple jobs just to stay afloat at the moment but Rebecca seems to think she's entitled to live the high life. She possibly should just take her damn ADHD medication too as that's clearly not helping.

You nailed it! How could you let your parents have to still deal with your poor choices. She's more than old enough to deal with what they've created. Pauline is just a big old softy, but she isn't doing Rebecca any favors.
