Let's talk about wildlife

That's the thing about freedom and trust - when you are given it you either show your true colors and further prove yourself or you show that you're a fucking bum and need someone to babysit you.

uh oh. Well, it's an adjustment, give it time. Maybe somewhere down the line something will come up that she can get excited about.

 

[bacon]

Fuck that, she lacks initiative.

$2000 a month for full day mon-fri daycare?

 

[Matty]

Yup. A lot of families get a govt subsidy, but apparently we make too much money to qualify.

Can't afford a 2br house in this town, or a 2nd child, but we're deemed too rich for affordable daycare.

Muddy, vid shows why I don't swim in ocean (sharks) and hike in through the woods (bears)! Open land is vanishing to a point that the poor animals have no where to go but join us!

wonder how dolphin teeth feel

My cardinals are back. This makes me happy, especially when they peak in the window.

$106/day is ludicrous. Have you investigated nanny-share or au pere? Getting that 3 bed-room place might be worth while if the third bed is an investment for child-care.

Also, I'm so sick of hearing about woman with extensive educations becoming stay at home moms. What a fvcking waste. I was really surprised to see my sister who just had a kid return to work. Impressed even.

We just found a Montessori school that takes 18-month-olds, that would be $1450/month. Meeting with them next week.

3br places in the downtown core are uncommon and stupidly expensive.

Looking for 3+ bedrooms on MLS returns 2+1 condos first:

I saw a cardinal a couple days ago in the trees beside Jenny's parking. Purdy.

They also have rather tame raccoons. I drove up one time and at a quick glance I thought I was seeing a guy walking a dog but it actually ended up being a guy that a tame raccoon had walked right up to and was just standing there beside him.
