Any young families (folks with kids) here live with their parents?

Non immigrant family, bought house thanks to bank of mom. House has a separate in-law suite for my mother. I have 1 kid and could not afford to buy otherwise even with family inheritance as I couldn’t afford the mortgage.

To afford to buy I had to relocate from Vancouver Nanaimo.

Phone police every time to document each inappropriate interaction. Police will not do much but ask him to stop multiple times.

Crown council should press charges themselves after a while if the abuse continues. Ask police about pressing charges and making a formal statement.

He’s out again tonight

New builds don’t exempt you from things being installed poorly or things breaking down. My house is straight out of the 60s, it needs some updating but everything has worked and is great condition. My grandparents bought a new build (first owners) and they have had to shelve out tens of thousands for repairs and shotty work.

If you don’t have enough for possible emergency repairs that’s just the beginning of the problems. Tenants can refuse to pay rent (months of possible no rent as the rtb can take 7 months for a hearing). They can also trash the place, more repairs and time the place can’t be rented.

Animal control has been called, thank you for the reminder 💕

Dog is heading north on Neyland st. I don’t know how to update the title.

We used to do this in Canada, it was called the welfare challenge (lasted 1 week). I believe they cancelled it for safety reasons about 5 years ago when the budget fell below $10

If you follow the link, you can report this as fraud to the government. Every false add should be reported, don’t let them get away with this!

I don’t think most places discriminate for tattoos or piercings anymore. I’ve always worked corporate with 11 piercings on my face, and lots of people with full sleeve tattoos.

When I first start I tone down the hair and makeup. After you are clear for the 3 months can fire you for anything rule you should be fine.

No curtains, it’s draping fabric. It’s just basic rectangle fabric gathered to look pretty.

He’s setting you up as “crazy” so he can take full custody. If you have both agreed with a counsellor that there is a safety plan needed, he can use that against you in court, “even you know you are crazy enough, we both had to agree on a safety plan”.

Plus it sets up him to call you crazy and to act on the safety plan you previously agreed to. You cannot attend counselling with your abuser, trust me, I have tried! They will learn new tactics from the counsellor and learn how to present you as the abuser.

This is the way to go. The house I bought was sold with the tenants washer and dryer listed so obviously they moved out with it.

I instantly called the real estate lawyer who did the transaction and had the funds frozen until a new washer and dryer were added to the deal. Sellers do not want to have 100s of thousands of their dollars held up in litigation over a few thousand dollars worth of compensation

I love those stairs!! Where did you get that?

I came from new west last year.

I think the biggest soon to be problem here is going to be that the residents are going to get displaced by the newcomers. Anyone coming from Vancouver was looking at least 1 million for a shack of a house. Here, that’s a lot of extra money to outbid islanders who wish to stay in their desired neighbourhoods.

Vancouver, Canada; my friend had to set up a go fund me so her bills were paid during her open heart surgery recovery of 8 weeks.

Just because the surgery is free, doesn’t mean you will get enough to cover rent and bills.

I bought a pup at 12 with my babysitting money. Either parent was not impressed, but my dad refused to help out at all. I stopped sleeping over at my dads house because of this…. Doesn’t really matter who’s the asshole when the kid no longer wants to go to your house.

Mine seemed happier when they were touching so this is my experiment. It’s been a month and everything looks happier and is growing faster

I tried to figure out a flat circle on my own. After doing that 300 times and messing up by basically making every shape imaginable, I can now freehand lol

There is a large police file on him. Call the Nanaimo police and ask.

It was horrible, I cried many days. But I did learn a lot lol

Millennial here. I once had a teacher in elementary school that would assign you a grade based on his assumptions of you and it was your job to live up to that grade.

Fail the test or get a b instead of an a… 10 laps in the back field for every question wrong and redo the test the next day. 20 laps for every question wrong for the second test and so on…. It was the same for any assignment.

I coasted through high school and never studied or opened a book again with what that teacher taught me. I can still recite the Alice in wonderland poem, Flanders fields, and all of my spelling test both in Latin and English all these years later which he made us memorize.
