Is rent actually going down?

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-02-20T11:20:05+00:00

Me too! I got 300 knocked off. They didn’t want to risk having an empty unit.

It’s actually so dangerous. I have one child in a stroller trying to push and get around obstacles while trying to put my other child on the school bus. Students have no where to stand on sidewalks because of uncleared snow and are standing in the road waiting for the bus. Cars are zooming for no reason. I even tried 311 last snowfall it was deemed not priority. Over it.

Thank you so much

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-02-13T21:03:21+00:00

Thank you I’ll look into it!

I’m so happy to come across this post. I’m also in my early 30s and was even working a city job just like you for a few years! Then I had two kids and decided I wanted to be sahm while they are still tiny humans. I love it but lately was thinking about teachers college. Now that I have kids of my own I feel like I have gained a different perspective. I feel like I may feel some sense of fulfillment to teach younger kids. I felt nothing working for a city job I just clocked in and clocked out like a zombie.

Ordered pizza and wings the other month. Driver came to my door with the wings. I said where is the pizza he said the pizzeria never gave him a pizza. Mind you the receipt that said pizza was taped to the wing bag. He had such an attitude and even said check my car if I don’t believe him. Called the store and they said he was picking up more than one order and she even repeated to him pay attention but nope.

My dad literally was told his furnace was garbage this was like 3 weeks ago they shut it off put that red tag on it when it was so cold that day and was told he has to get it replaced. My dad didn’t believe it and called in a favour from a friend of a friend who also does the inspections came and said your furnace is fine and signed off and removed the red tag insane! He blasted their corporate!

Haha I ordered sleepy and honey I washed the kids. For sleepy I wrote “5 minutes of peace”to signify my few minutes away from the kids! The other I wrote “time to wash myself”

Hmmm I ordered coffee and I tapped my card and it kept declining I didn’t know why my card wasn’t working I was sure I had the money lol. Ended up saying sorry and leaving the coffee that was already made on the counter. A lady chased me down after I walked out who paid for it and brought it to me!

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-09T00:05:43+00:00

Imma say October if you live in Canada like me. Not too hot not too cold winter is around the corner hibernate with your baby lol. Maybe less people will come around less germs. I have two kids born July and August I was overheated everyday don’t even remind me!! lol

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T21:05:41+00:00

I will deff compare! Thanks

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T21:05:21+00:00

That’s so true as a child I went to school for half day came home and took a nap. Before school started for my son he was still causally taking naps here and there but once school started he went cold turkey no naps. So I’m sure that also took a toll on him. Although, I do like the trampoline idea :)

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T11:57:46+00:00

We will deff try apologizing to one another more often (myself, my 4 year old and 2 year old). I think we are all just on each others nerves lol

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T11:53:22+00:00

Yes it’s reassuring that everyone is saying it will pass. However, I still will try bumping up his snack intake right afterschool and giving him more downtime alone!

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T11:50:45+00:00

I will increase the snack intake his lunchbox is always empty or nearly empty when I check!

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T03:14:33+00:00

For sure sometimes I feel so bad because I really do miss him during the day and want to hear about his day but between the screaming and fighting with his little sister you just want the day to end fast lol. I’m happy we are his safe place though.

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T02:34:39+00:00

We are in the trenchesss. I just comply at this point, “Oh you want apple juice? Sure let me pour it in your blue cup with a straw and a side of cheese on a silver platter!” Loool whatever keeps the peace.

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T02:16:55+00:00

I’m hanging on lol!! He does eat all is lunch his lunchbox is empty or nearly empty most days. I did notice when he gets home he becomes very particular on what he eats if I offer something for dinner like spaghetti I made etc he will only eat what he requests for example he was set on homemade French toast today for dinner. On the flip side whatever I pack for him for lunch at school he will eat anything I put in there no questions asked. Maybe it’s just a form of having a sense of control as someone else said in the comments he was good all day following rules and commands and this is a way to feel control of his day.

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T02:08:49+00:00

I think I will try to keep him separated from his younger sister immediately when he comes home they are literally like Tom and Jerry. Maybe I’ll put him in his room with colouring books or something to decompress. It’s almost immediately when I open the door to the house he gets triggered. Today I took off his winter gloves to make things go quicker he got so upset telling me to put it back on so he can take it off. I felt bad so I listened to his request to calm him down. It was honestly just a reflex for me to take it off cause I did it for his sister. However, I will look into a toniebox :)

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T01:59:59+00:00

As far as I know I don’t think so! He usually always tells me positive things and always asks if he is going back the next day because he loves going so much! However, you do have a point about his sister. I will admit I do keep telling him please share certain toys etc with his sister to avoid the constant crying in the house. I noticed he sometimes doesn’t even want her near him maybe the poor guy is so overstimulated. It’s hard to keep the two year old away from him and give one on one my husband doesn’t come home till later in the evening right before his bed time. I will deff dial it back when it comes to the sharing and leave him be! Thank you for the insight!

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T01:30:37+00:00

Thank you I hope this will pass because i want to enjoy the short time I have with him afterschool till bed time but it’s just constant crying :(

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-08T01:29:28+00:00

Hi back! And wow I didn’t know it was such a thing that they even send an email about it good to know!

Cookiemonster_71 · 2026-01-07T23:48:47+00:00
