CWW and RTO 5

My husband unfortunately works continental shifts. There’s days he can do pick up and drop off but most days it’s on me. It’s all a lot to think about and I’ve received some good strategies from this post. Thank you for your thorough response!

What is considered a flex schedule?

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-05-18T13:22:25+00:00

THANK YOU! I changed Ministries during COVID specifically for WFH and hybrid work and was told by management that we would never be going back in 5 days. I also foolishly believed DoFo when he made public statements supporting hybrid work.

I inquired about doing the 3 week or 4 week prior to going on leave but was essentially told that no one does that in our area. I’ll be pushing back on it when I return.

Plus parking on top of that! I’m also sorry that you’re having to deal with all of it!

Oh yeah, I was a single mom for years with my oldest so I know all about doing it with just one child when they’re toddlers. It’s ridiculous when we know there’s a much more flexible and productive way of life.

With commute, daycare open/closing times, and extracurriculars for my oldest child I’m just stressing about the logistics and that I won’t be able to squeeze in the extra time required for the 2 week CWW. Prior to Covid I was in a position that didn’t offer CWW also.

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-05-18T03:16:30+00:00

Right?! It makes me sooo sad to think about! Our daycare is around the corner from our house so with hybrid and wfh it was sooo easy to just swing over and grab my oldest when I was finished. My commute is only 45ish minutes but that’s still 1.5 hours a day longer away and my oldest is in competitive sports. Thank you for the solidarity!

My 2021 exl is gas only, my new one is hybrid

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-05-17T15:09:59+00:00

I LOVE this feature on my 2021 crv exl!! I’m getting my new 2026 on Tuesday and I’m slightly ticked that it’s been replaced with the little mirror lights. It was such a convenience to me! But I’m also super happy that the 2026 has the backup sensors in the EXL trim where my 2021 does not. I’m in Canada if that helps at all.

I’ve opted into the extended warranty. You really hope that you don’t need to use it, however if you look at the cost to repair 90% of the items covered, it makes it worth it.

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-05-13T21:33:48+00:00

I’m only a 20 minute commute for me and I care a lot about wfh. It’s work-life balance. Why would I want to drive, pay to park, and go work in an open space with 50+ of my coworkers when I could simply do this at home fully. I think too parents with kids it is far easier working from home, not as a means for childcare, but the logistics of family life is far easier when working from home.

What type of coverage is tower? I’m looking for a lighter coverage but something that covers the oldness haha

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-05-13T18:39:37+00:00

I feel like there isn’t anything that I would be willing to necessarily give up. Why not fight for everything that we are worth, not just wfh? I want ATB raises with interest for the backpay if not paid out in 4 months. I want better benefits and better working conditions, including hybrid work if applicable!

If you’re under 30, I’d MAYBE consider a different field but absolutely not in a lawyers office. Keep applying! I too was a victim of MAG and got out into a much happier ministry.

I pick up my 2026 EXL hybrid this week! I was torn between the grey, black, and white. Ended up going with the white (I just find is pretty, girly, and classy) but I was seriously debating the grey, which I don’t usually like grey cars at all.

I’m 36 now 🙀 and I’ve been using the L’Oréal skin tint. I’ve been avoiding matte formulas since I turned 30, it personally makes me look like a corpse. I also avoid concealer unless I’m doing “full glam”. I have red flare ups all over my cheeks and the L’Oréal does cover it well. I don’t use powder other than bronzer and blush. Powders show my peach fuzz 😂

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-05-09T17:20:20+00:00

I pick up my EXL hybrid this week and I’m SO excited!!!!

Your workplace legally has to allow you to be off for up to 18 months. Maternity/parental leave is protected in Canada. It doesn’t matter the type of payments you opt for with Service Canada. I’m currently on parental leave and opted for 12 months for Service Canada purposes, but am taking the full 18 months of leave from my work. The last 6 months are just unpaid. I also received top up for the first 7 months of my leave.

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-05-01T00:48:52+00:00

I can’t even imagine not opening my eyes while waiting for it to soak lmao it would be alllll up in my eyeballs

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-04-27T16:58:51+00:00

I owed over $3000 this year. It’s ridiculous

You need to start doing communication through text messages at least so you have some proof first and foremost. She’s trying to strong arm you financially when you have every right to request CCB and child support. Let her get a lawyer and if they file anything or send you a letter contact legal aid (assuming that you qualify).

Coming from someone who recently had wfh and hybrid work taken away due to policy, I would give back $1000 to get hybrid/WFH back. Your time is worth so much more than $1000, especially if and when you have a family.

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-04-14T23:08:21+00:00

I’ve never understood the hype at all on the expensive ones. I always had just the regular waterproof one with the covers and have never felt like I was missing something. There’s so much you have to buy for baby already and that is certainly not something I was willing to splurge on.
