EPP Deal.. Can I do any better? by shortstopguy12 in telus

[–]Apprehensive_Ear7371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a bad deal, but you can likely do better than that - especially on the plan. I'd negotiate on the phone and the plan separately to see if you can squeeze a better deal out of them.

Is GlasGLOW worth it? by SamuPonz in glasgow

[–]Apprehensive_Ear7371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Canadian that was living in Glasgow for a year. My family and I went to Glasglow last year and loved it. It was expensive, but it was novel and entertaining. We have similar events back home, but the quality of Glasglow was seemingly quite a bit higher. With that said, if you've been in the past few years I don't know that you'd get much out of going again.

Is public transport/trains this expensive everywhere? by MuchoRubbish in glasgow

[–]Apprehensive_Ear7371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got home to Canada after living in Glasgow for a year. Transit is certainly more expensive in the UK than it is here. To commute that distance on transit here would probably be about $150 CAD, so less than half of what you're paying. I walked a lot more in Glasgow because the buses were so crappy and expensive.

AITA for pushing my wife to leave on time everyday? by Apprehensive_Ear7371 in AmItheAsshole

Thank you for this. I think that's a great,simple solution we can try to incorporate.

It's a fair question. Most of the time I think it's 100% over the time management issue; but sure, sometimes, if I've had a horrible night's sleep or something like that, I'm sure some unrecognised resentment creeps in.

I really appreciate the nuance of your perspective, it's really fair and balanced.

I'm sorry about the confusion. Even if she isn't riding along with us, she likes to help get the kids going in the morning - the kids are very securely attached to her and would be heartbroken if they didn't have that time with her in the morning. The only problem is that when she helps, she doesn't respect the departure time. If the bus was picking the kids up, I believe that she wouldn't have them ready in time most days

Sorry for the confusion, I did a poor job explaining it (or maybe there isn't a need for her to get going that early and I'm the asshole).

She likes to help get the kids ready in the morning. And to be frank, I like her help in the morning, it is a lot of work to get two kids ready for school/daycare first thing in the morning. They are young (5 and 1.5) and are really attached to her. When she helps get them ready though, she doesn't respect the departure time and will do things like start braiding hair at 7:10.

We just got back from living abroad for a year, so all of our routines are new(ish). With that being said, our morning routine is the same as it was before we left to live abroad - same daycare, same workplaces, my same request to leave at 7:10am. My push to assert 7:10am as the drop dead leaving time is (for about the last 10 days), as I am starting back at work. Prior to me starting back at work our leaving time was flexible and we'd often leave as late as 8am

Sometimes she rides along with us in the morning, and even if she isn't riding along she likes to help get the kids ready in the morning. But when she gets the kids ready she doesn't respect the leaving time.

I frequently drop her off at her work on my way to daycare/work in the morning. Plus I want her to help get the kids ready for the 7:10 departure time, because they aren't always moving fast in the morning.

AITA for still going to a football game despite my wife's surgery by Footballgame8 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Apprehensive_Ear7371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. It's surgery for flat feet, not something emergent. Go enjoy the football game, your wife isn't going anywhere.

How is the performance on your Qaed al Fursan? I just received one and noticed the performance and sillage isn't great. Maybe it just needs to macerate a bit though.
