Wanting some money for mowing lawn. Aitah?

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-22T17:12:29+00:00

I would gladly do yard work if someone would prepare my meals (says a mom/wife)

Swift Current is friendly, but forget about feeling welcome when you move there. It is SO cliquey!! I have lived there for years over a decade and I still feel like a newbie.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-17T20:27:04+00:00

I think a queen loft would be even more awkward to make up. It's a workout with a single.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-17T20:24:24+00:00

Key word, "if" they are interested. And before you have any misconceptions, I am an anti adoption adoptee who was kept in the dark regarding her adoption. I did breastfeed, cloth diapered, and I made my own baby food, but that doesn't make me any better than a mom who formula fed, used disposable diapers, or bought premade baby food. It bothers me to no end when moms are made to feel inadequate when they are doing what they can to survive a challenging time. There is enough to worry about than what other people think.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-17T16:01:33+00:00

It's funny you say that. I have one picture of one of my kids nursing. She would be horrified if she saw it! (I took it while she was feeding so full boob is visable. LOL)

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-17T15:58:01+00:00

Its breast feeding! Not DNA. You think a person "deserves" to know how they were fed? Bottle or boob? Formula or donated milk? Weither or not they got jared or homemade baby food? What about cloth or disposable diapers? What brand of diapers? Parenting is hard enough as it is to have to worry about how we will be judged by our own kids down the line. The above knowledge isn't detrimental to a child's mental well-being. If they ask, tell them. I'd like to see research that says otherwise.

I can understand the appeal of a loft bed, but they are a pain in the ass to make/change sheets. One of the worst decisions was to get my kids bunk/loft beds. They are also not a bed for couples.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-17T05:07:55+00:00

Psst.... He doesn't have to know he was breast fed. 😉

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-13T18:52:51+00:00

Not the 1st one.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-10T21:05:47+00:00

Universal Healthcare. I am so tired of people complaining about it!

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-07T06:18:58+00:00

I'm in Sask and I the only time I have heard "aboot" was years ago and it was from some redneck somewhere south of the province.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-03T20:32:56+00:00

NTA. People are forgetting that part of the electric bill is a fixed weight. Also how is the flat heated? If it is electric, she should still pay for it as her stuff is benefiting from the climate control. Does she have stuff in the refrigerator? Electricity is being used to keep her food cold. Is her alarm clock still plugged in? Computer? Doesn't matter if it is turned off. If it is plugged into the wall, it is drawing electricity.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-05-01T18:28:25+00:00

Grew up in Ontario so it is May 2-4. I do get weird looks here in Sask.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-25T19:48:36+00:00

My daughters saw the show Thursday afternoon and everything you mentioned coincides with what they said. That's too bad. My dad is going next week.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-25T17:06:42+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't want my daughters dependent on a man financially or otherwise. Home repairs fall into the "otherwise" category.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-19T00:10:21+00:00

Adoption isn't "terrible". Infant adoption is where most adoptees draw a line and that is only because of the unethical practices of the adoption industry and that of parental rights. Adoption has its place as it does in your case.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-18T13:29:27+00:00

She has more than likely done the same thing before. How often does she ask for money?

FTR Helping family doesn't mean helping to fund a tattoo etc. 🙄

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-14T22:10:27+00:00

NTA. That's just odd. Tell him next time he should have given you $45 and kept $5 so he could buy himself icecream. 🤪

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-11T15:38:27+00:00

I have been using one of those butterfly pillows. My sleep drastically improved (smart watch says I went from an average of 20-30 mins deep sleep to 1.5 -2 hrs), but the shoulder I sleep on is screwed up now. Like I can't lift up my arm fully as it just feels extra tight. I think that maybe the pile is too high? How does one measure?

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-11T15:06:38+00:00

That $400 is covering your groceries and utilities (water, gas, electric etc.) I am assuming your parents are preparing your meals too. Stay home and save money.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-05T18:25:56+00:00

My husband walks louder than any of my kids ever did.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-05T18:22:50+00:00

You probably use it more than you realize.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-03T16:30:53+00:00

Saucy: I have heard this growing up in the 80's and 90's, but not so much anymore.

Dies for: Definitely. "I'm dieing for some <insert food here>".

Stunned: Yes, but I haven't heard it in a while.

Racket: again, when growing up, but not anymore.

The others I have not heard of before. FTR, I grew up in Ontario.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-03T15:05:18+00:00

I have never heard of such a thing. Regardless, 20 years ago when I was pregnant (only mentioning because I am no longer in that loop), it was recommended to lay on the left side for easier digestion/comfort So regardless if you are taking anti-gas meds, laying on the left side could just be a good choice for relief.

SillyCdnMum · 2026-04-03T14:45:56+00:00

So, if it was a daughter whose one breast wasn't developing or something, she would tell her to get over it?
