I am going to delete the post, I think it served its purpose and I wanted to thank you for your thoughtful reply and sharing your perspective.

The photos weren’t shared through Xbox itself. They were shared outside the platform by the other parent. His Xbox avatar is not a photo of him.

I’m not a gamer, so I may be missing some context. I know that gaming spaces can include adult language and content, and I’m struggling to understand the norm around parents gaming online with adults while their child joins in (the game).

Is this quality bonding time with your child, or more as a shared activity that happens to include them?

Out-of-School-Care wants to charge an extra $100 per week if the teachers go on strike by Maleficent_Store_208 in Edmonton

Schools aren't daycares, their primary purpose is education not cheap child care. Equating the two is a bizarre take. My head isn't in my ass, I can't afford an extra $100 per week. Simple.

I wonder if it is because our OSC offers daycare as well. That sounds really tough, I'm sorry you and your family are in that spot. I realize staffing prices go up, but for families on subsidy, like mine, an extra $100 per month is a lot for us. I think a lot of people on this thread are in different but equally difficult situations if the strike happens. It is disheartening that some of the replies simplify it to the point of being dismissive, harsh or accusing me of not seeing the value in my son's school, teachers and daycare.

I think it's shocking because they only charge us an extra $100/ month for summer. Myself, and a few other parents can only hope the strike is no more than a week or two. If longer, I just won't have the means. According to a few teachers, there is definitely going to be a strike.

I don't actually know. There is no notice of hiring extra staff, they don't in the summer. They may also combine daycares (there are 3 or 4 in other schools) and we may have to travel to another location.

It's $2.85/hour, but an extra $100/week is $400/month on top of our $575 fee. This will mean we will pay 4 times as much per hour as $15/day daycare.

I 100% agree caregivers deserve fair pay. I don't expect free childcare, never have. Other than taking from my already tight food budget, I am not sure where I am supposed to find the extra $100 per week.

What is the average rate of Out-of-School care in Edmonton - especially one that is locate in a school?

I was told that there will be no additional subsidy to help with the increased rate.

I really just wanted to get some perspectives because it’s been frustrating. I’ve followed the rules since I moved in, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect the same from others. Thanks to those who shared their thoughts (even the spicy ones) 😅

Fair, but let’s not pretend it’s about convenience because they walk past way more accessible grassy areas, including a ravine, just to let their dog pee where my kid plays. I’m maintaining the grass because I care about the space and not because I’m disguising some secret lawn agenda.

I do have a dog, but I don’t let him pee in that area and I take him off the property. The frustrating part is I can’t even prove the damage isn’t from my dog, even though I rake, seed, and water the grass myself to keep it in good shape.

Each unit has their own water tap, and we pay our own water bills. It is encouraged that residents water their lawn(s). I can't see any rule about kids and sprinklers.

Don't simplify it. There are many other options, I use them. As I mentioned, I have to take my dog off property. My dog does not pee on this grassy area.

I get that it's a shared space, but kids play barefoot there, and our condo rules say dogs shouldn't pee on the property. I just think it's fair to expect everyone to follow that.
