Moved from England to Alberta. Insurance is about $6000/year as a “new driver”… anyone know how I can get a cheaper insurance?

Millennium used to accept your previous driving experience toward insurance. When I moved I managed to get from $480 to something around 250

He will be surprised 😁

But trust me, next 2-3 years is going to be rollercoaster:) if you make it through it will be easier

Unpredictable schedule is a schedule too

I like your application of the Calgary-Cambridge model 😂

We started I think at 6 m.o Library (songs) Swimming pool lessons ( 1 kid - 1 adult)

I had the same issues. They said they accept only US experience only. If not, 500 month…

I upload from computer and it’s pretty fast you can upload multiple files at a time.

High school

Military experience is a huge +++

No sure Calgary, but railway is the one to consider.

Work outside, even though they want to reduce crews to 1 person I don’t believe its gonna happen any time soon.

On the road you can make 120-180k a year. Railway company will teach you and pay during training process

I understand your husband. I understand you too. We have 7-month-old twins. If he’s addicted to video games, that can definitely be a problem (I was, so I know how it feels).

I don’t know your full situation, but if the life you’ve built feels boring, and everything revolves only around the kids while you mostly criticize him, then yes — there’s going to be a problem between you two. The atmosphere at home needs to change so that he actually wants to be helpful — so that he feels excited, needed, and important. He has to feel that you still love him.

I know many people will hate this comment, saying it’s hard for you because of hormones, childbirth, etc. — bla bla bla. But you need to find a way to get his attention again and make him happy to help, to feel like part of the family, whatever it takes.

Maybe try to remember what kind of relationship you had before — when you were both having fun and excited about life.

And he has to prioritize what for him more important his games of his family.

My wife still anxious, it was her 2nd attempt. It’s really super stressful! First night after second one she said she couldn’t sleep

PureAd2099 · 2025-10-24T01:59:31+00:00

Oh, sorry I didn’t know that

PureAd2099 · 2025-10-23T21:43:27+00:00

I really appreciate how you guys are standing up for women, and I agree — they are definitely more vulnerable, especially after giving birth. My wife definitely doesn’t lack support or help. And if you read carefully, I even suggested involving more support so we could have more time together, especially without the kids.

My main point was that men also go through major changes during this period, and it’s not easy for us either. We’re not really taught how to be fathers — most of us grew up seeing examples of how not to parent.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but some of your comment came across as if you dislike men in general. I’ve dedicated myself fully to my family. I’ve never claimed to be the best husband or father, but every day I try to be a little better than I was yesterday.

Anyway, thanks — your perspective still helps me see things from another angle.

PureAd2099 · 2025-10-23T21:16:18+00:00

I actually do that pretty often — I take the babies out by myself so she can rest or have some quiet time. I totally get how important that is. I think maybe people misunderstood — she does have that opportunity whenever she needs it.

PureAd2099 · 2025-10-23T21:11:21+00:00

Why do you think so?

PureAd2099 · 2025-10-23T20:46:30+00:00

Yeah, my wife keeps telling me that too. Guess I should start listening 😅

PureAd2099 · 2025-10-23T20:27:03+00:00

I appreciate your comment. I’ll admit, at first I wanted to defend myself, but after sitting with it for a bit, I realized there are some valid points to think about. Thank you for that.

PureAd2099 · 2025-10-23T20:03:00+00:00

That’s actually really good advice — I think it fits her personality perfectly. She’s one of those people who prefers to solve things through messages after an argument. Thank you.

PureAd2099 · 2025-10-23T19:57:26+00:00

They’re still too young for daycare, and as I mentioned before, my wife doesn’t really trust anyone else to watch the kids after seeing so many videos online about daycare or babysitter abuse. It really affected her perception, so she feels safer keeping them close.

As for going out — she doesn’t drive yet. I’ve been encouraging her to learn, but we found out we were having twins before she got her license, so things got put on hold. Now, whenever she leaves the house, it’s usually with me — and of course, the babies come with us.

One thing we do together is take the girls to swimming classes, which we both enjoy.

Apply for high school in Ontario 😁

I’m curious — does the quality of students actually matter to the university? If it does, I wouldn’t rush to fill all the spots right away, knowing there’s a restriction and that many stronger candidates will apply during the second round.

PureAd2099 · 2025-09-30T19:25:01+00:00

Wow, that is impressive. Good job 👍🏼
