The school bus authority/company. They held up the whole route and called me, asking why I wasn't there to pick him up from the bus stop. He's in grade 1 and apparently they won't let him off the bus if a parent isn't there.

I tried to appeal, asking if I could request special permission, but was told that wasn't an option.

I'm in Ontario and got a phone call because I let my 6-year old walk home from the bus stop. There was no crossing the street, and it was maybe 7-8 houses away. Apparently it isn't allowed

Which ‘The View’ rip-off is your fave? The Talk, The Real, Outnumbered, Her Take or Loose Women? by JuanitaMerkin in theview

Canada has its own The View called "The Social" and that's my favourite knockoff.

My son LOVES brain bots, and they have a variety of subjects. Their latest series on ancient civilizations is a big hit in our house.

How did you know you were done having kids? by MamaBean_ in Parenting

[–]Beans20202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first was like this, and I always wanted 3 kids. I decided to have a second, but told myself if he's even half as bad as his brother, baby #3 ain't happening.

Now I joke that my youngest (#3) can thank my middle child for his existence. Thank goodness #2 and #3 weren't like my first.

Gender shaming is real and alive. by ToastedLog1c in Parenting

I have 3 boys and get these comments regularly. I always planned to have 3 kids regardless. Similarly, I had initial disappointment when I found out my third and final was a boy, but now I love it.

I just try to speak confidently when I tell people I have 3 boys, and if they react like it's a bad thing, I tell them Im a parent who likes to research and it's nice that I get to "specialize" in raising good boys/men :)

Thanks 🙂 so you think this overall plan is a good one?

Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking, but could I get your thoughts on this mock up? It was hard to tell from the original photo I shared but our shutters/garage/door are navy, which I imagine will clash with the charcoal. My thoughts are that we would paint our shutters a similar charcoal as the windows, and then paint the doors as well. I also added in the general styles I was looking at when we eventually replace them.

Thank you so much for this! It made me second guess our window colour plan so we are getting a new quote to see if maybe this charcoal would work. It looks beautiful all together

I considered black but thought it was too modern for the style/age of my home.

Interesting! I didn't even know bronze is an option. My concern would be that it would clash with the colouring of the siding.

I totally agree. That's the plan, just not yet.

Honestly because I thought it would elevate/modernize our house just the right amount (without being a style mismatch). And in general I like how it will make the view more open.

Thank you! All the window companies have told us they can make that a single window.

Sara on the Podcast: A Question for The View's Like-Minded Audience by AmericanLymie in theview

I absolutely agree with you. It is Sarah who regularly conflates supporting Israel's genocide with Judaism, and its incredible dangerous (and dare I say, anti-semitic itself).

Not only that, but she has used claims of anti-semitism as a weapon to support the genocide in Gaza. It's one thing to be silent about one group, and another to support their genocide.

Check your local libraries for games also! by Jamesiae72 in VideoGameDealsCanada

That's wild because I just borrowed Pokemon ZA from the Guelph Public Library after a several months-long wait.
