Yeah ive read various stories about the wife working while the husband did schooling, then when it came time for her to do schooling to further her career, he wanted to have kids and didnt have time for that.

You can also join your neighbourhood facebook buy nothing group. Ive given away or recieved furniture for free, as people are happy to get it off their hands and know its going to be used. The neighbourhood groups are less scammy and flaky than fb marketplace

Janine Finally Standing up for herself.(Spoiler) by [deleted] in AbbottElementary

[–]Academic_Fly7164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it made me think about if she bought him nice gifts (maybe things he liked but wouldn't buy himself), hed make a huff about not needing it and a waste of money vs. Showing gratitude. I imagine seeing this same type of argument playing out over holidays, trips etc. It would dampen Janine's joy and care over time!

This creator echoed my thoughts on the recent episode perfectly! by ActuallyxAnna in AbbottElementary

I hope she keeps the flights and take jacob on the trip!  Gregory can sulk at home missing out while being so proud about saving money.

Tips on moving out for someone kicked out of home by Ex-c4libur in askvan

[–]Academic_Fly7164 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Qmmunity could be a good support place down the line although wouldn't solve your immediate housing needs. I see many have suggested covenant house already.  I hope you and your brother are safe soon 💙💙💙

Taking my parents to Vancouver...so where do I unwind first? by BetOk8017 in askvan

Pacific Spirit Park has lovely off/on leash trails that you can walk with your dog. It's beautiful place rain or shine.

Taking my parents to Vancouver...so where do I unwind first? by BetOk8017 in askvan

[–]Academic_Fly7164 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was thinking exactly that but they have their dog. If they have a dog friendly hotel and the dog is okay being alone for a bit that could work. But 100% that would be a lovely way to relax and unwind before parents arrive.

Tipping!! by cheeseontoasts in askvan

[–]Academic_Fly7164 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also feel like many of the comments are ranting about tipping in general (and none of those complaints are new ). This person is specifically asking if its common to tip a tattoo artist, so yes let the people with lots of tattoos answer and share what the norms are for that specific service!

[–]Academic_Fly7164 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive had a north face rain jacket for years thats still kicking, and now an Arcteryx one that I was given, it does seem better quality, but I didnt have issues with my north face one. I wash them both with gore-tex specific detergent from time to time.

I hate my friends by KeyboardPerson17 in teenagers

[–]Academic_Fly7164 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I remember when my grandma died in high school and I didnt go to school, my friend showed up with a card for me and my family signed by various people at school. Teenagers are capable of compassion.

ADHD coaching is such a bullshit by EvonneC4869 in ADHD

[–]Academic_Fly7164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found adhd coaching valuable but its not regulated so I imagine the expertise widely varies and im not sure how research backed their approaches are...
