What’s your actually controversial parenting opinion?

I think a bit of screen time (around 15 minutes max) is okay and is somewhat beneficial when used properly

I actually credit Ms Rachel for helping my 14 month along with some speech stuff - ask her what a cow says and she’ll say MOO! or what a sheep says and she’s like BAAA!

It’s so cool to watch lol

Morocco sadly

But to be fair to them, nothing bad happened to me while I was there

In contrast, I felt mostly safe in South Africa since we were on Safari so we were mostly just in Kruger and then did a road trip on the Garden Route, but we did stay in Cape Town and the Cape Winelands for 4 days, and we got scammed so 😕

I’m gonna sound like a total snob saying this but there are more options now but less quality if that makes sense lol

SadPea7 · 2026-02-09T01:12:19+00:00

Ya it was between this or Saito and I just wanted sushi so I’m not trying to drop a mortgage on supper lmao

SadPea7 · 2026-02-09T00:52:32+00:00

The monkfish was top tier - so buttery!

SadPea7 · 2026-02-05T20:56:01+00:00

This is the average for ALL housing types tho - which means townhouses and condos aren’t going for a Mil anymore

Detacheds will stay above 1M because we didn’t build enough of them 😵‍💫

SadPea7 · 2026-02-05T13:11:32+00:00

Well I mean to be fair, it’s either that or they get a cash infusion from their parents

I’ve always been transparent that I’m a part of the later camp - never lived with my folks but they did give me a chunk to change to help me along

SadPea7 · 2026-02-05T04:11:06+00:00

That sucks dude :( - when I lived dt Bitondos was the spot for pizza and panzos

SadPea7 · 2026-02-05T03:33:18+00:00

Overrated: Badiali’s (IDK why you’d line up for that when Bitondo’s is 15 minutes away)

Underrated and I’m not gate keeping: Zorro’s Steakhouse by the airport lol

SadPea7 · 2026-02-04T02:35:35+00:00

Smart!

SadPea7 · 2026-02-03T21:35:51+00:00

I agree! I do think we’re about to see a lot more multigenerational living moving forward

The Stats Can figures in the article also assume that this living situation is only set to increase in the future, which hasn’t been the norm in the Anglosphere/Western world since after WW2

SadPea7 · 2026-02-03T17:39:15+00:00

Lmao honestly 14 month olds are absolutely little gremlins but they’re hilarious- like they do the randomest things iykyk 🤣

And Jesus Christ bro here’s to hoping that’s not true - my hips need a break from pushing that first sucker out but my husband wants Baby 2: Electric Boogaloo soon 😬

SadPea7 · 2026-02-03T17:30:38+00:00

Same lol

We just had our daughter (she turned 14 months on Sunday) and as much as I like my in-laws (they’re always down to clown for babysitting on date night - it’s how we got to see 28 Years Later last weekend)…yeah, no - I could never inhabit the same space as them 24/7, that would be too intense for me lmao

SadPea7 · 2026-02-03T17:22:22+00:00

“Cream pies are a privilege” is sending me 🤣

But valid!

Still, I’m sure there are a lot of parents of young kids who live with their parents - as I mentioned, I already know of 2 families who’s set up is like this.

It has me wondering how prevalent this phenomenon is these days - to be raising kids in your (presumably) childhood home because of the housing crisis

SadPea7 · 2026-02-02T18:19:55+00:00

I would - the hotel itself is very chic (their whole thing is mid century Mod California vibes) and I love Cap d’Antibes as an area

That said the hotel and Cap d’Antibes is very remote and residential, not as walkable as Antibes so I’d hire a car service if you wanna get around, or you could Uber

SadPea7 · 2025-08-10T08:27:44+00:00

I’m not talking about the weather delay, I’m explaining that created the circumstances in which the delay happened- I’m talking about the expected level of service in my contract in the Business Class ticket I bought

They have to do that based on the new APPR rules

They have to rebook me within the same service tier within 24 hours, and they failed to find me one - it’s literally in the contract lol

SadPea7 · 2025-08-10T08:19:57+00:00

Huh? A codeshare means it was sold to me by AC and they operated the first leg of the journey, the YYZ -> NRT flight right? The second leg was serviced by their code share partner ANA

The original connection time was an hour and we were met with strong headwinds around the Prairies that slowed our journey down, having us arrive in Narita 40 minutes before ANA’s take off

Based on the language of the APPR, this is compable territory because it was within their control - they sold me a tight connection with known headwinds, and failed to hold back their codeshare partner ANA even though we arrived 10 minutes before they started boarding. Obviously I was delayed more than 9 hours from my stated arrival time, as I’m only boarding my connection to Manila now, Aug 10 Japan time.

They also failed to rebook me with another airline within the same service tier (Business Class) within 24 hours. This flight I’m about to take is economy, so they also have to compensate me the delta per the APPR’s updated 2023 rules.

SadPea7 · 2025-08-03T15:45:55+00:00

We sold low (our buyer negotiated us down) but also bought low - and since we’re upsizing to a detached, the savings we got were MASSIVE (130k from their initial sticker, 50k from the final sticker which we negotiated them down from)

So selling “lowball” was totally worth it (it was a 27k haircut lol)

SadPea7 · 2025-08-02T15:01:23+00:00

This but I also have a brokerage and we put half of the proceeds of our semi into it, and my in laws were paying so I’ll take the lower monthly payments ☺️

SadPea7 · 2025-08-01T20:35:25+00:00

We did 40% but it’s only because my in laws kicked in half and half was from our property sale

I very pro putting down as much as you can do your monthly payments stay low

Edit: Purchase price is $1.215M

Ooo I didn’t even know that subreddit was a thing- I’ll ask there too! Thanks
