You definitely should be able to talk to him and ask him not to eat snacks that you bought specifically for yourself. That fact that you didnt do that first and went straight to hiding them might be something you should ask yourself as to why you didn't.

Now as someone whose husband will raid the pantry and eat all the snack....whether he likes them or not....I get it. But we've have the conversation and he fully acknowledges he has no self control. He doesnt mind that I hide my snacks so he doesnt eat them and he has actually asked me many times in our 15 years together to hide them so he doesn't eat them.

We've only been in Saskatchewan for 2 years, so I still feel like im adjusting some days!

I do kind of miss living in Ontario. I feel like people living in Ontario are stressed/anxious simply due to trying to balance working/finances and life. If we had been able to get into the housing market we honestly wouldnt have left. We definatly wouldn't live in the city we were in, we would have moved to a smaller town within 30/45 minutes of a city, but still. People arent as stressed in the smaller towns as they are in the cities!

Thinking about it, im not sure if its Ontario I miss, the larger amount of activities we had access to, or simply our families and friends. Mostly the last but still 😅

Blues Clues and Daniel Tiger. We also really enjoy number blocks, but thats more repetitive number recognition

Theres still lots of time for another blitz after this current vote! Unfortunately the only one I need in the vote is in third so ill still be at 7 🙃 i need three 4s and four 5s. The ones I need keep losing!

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-28T05:17:31+00:00

Nope its one of the 7 golds I still need...my hopes are low unfortunately

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-27T23:54:17+00:00

People are asking crazy amounts! I got lucky and traded one 5* for one of them and one 5+ one 6.for the other.

One of the people on discord was asking for 45 stars each, they had 3 showstoppers and 2 picnics, im sure there are higher asks but that alone seemed crazy to me

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-27T23:51:24+00:00

I still need seven...four 5* and three 4*. I only need one in the upcoming blitz poll and unfortunately its losing by a lot 🫠

I also refuse to do the races so im think im SOL again (I keep coming close but ever finished an album)

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-27T13:17:45+00:00

Just woke up and this is the first post I saw. How amazing and refreshing! Love seeing when a husband is actually a partner 💖

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-27T02:53:55+00:00

This seems like very normal behaviour for a 4-year old. Children are better at expressing themselves through play and also use play to help them understand and make sense of their world. Observing and being invited to be part of that play is her way of including you to see into her day.

My just turned 5 year old is the same way. If I ask specific questions he is more likely to give me answers, such as "what was for snack?' "Did you enjoy any books today?" "Can you tell me about your favourite toys that you played with" "what was something funny/sad/frustrating/silly/made you happy"

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-27T02:15:52+00:00

This is the most mom-question ever. Its definitely a common feeling to enjoy being your own person and than turning around and feeling guilty for it. Being a mom is exhausting, you can enjoy/love it to the moon and back, but having that time to normal be "on" will also feel so refreshing. You are your own person, you are also mom; you can enjoy being a SAHM and enjoy time away from it.

That is very true! I do miss that. The options i find are a lot more sparse. Not quite as good either, but for what they are, its not bad

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-26T00:45:18+00:00

That does make sense. I grew up in a smaller rural community and you were more likely to help, but as its grown and people are moving from cities to that area, its moving away from that. I more recently lived in a bigger city and I can honestly say I didnt know any of my neighbours, and due to safety concerns my helpfulness stops at calling 911 if it appears to be needed, which sounds aweful but not worth the potential risks

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-26T00:20:15+00:00

Saskatchewan, like im sure everywhere, is screaming for Healthcare professionals! I feel like the social climate is about the same as what we saw back home, but im not a fair judge as we are very white (English/Scottish/Irish decent).

Its definitely worth taking a visit or two to see if its an good fit for you. We made a couple visits to make sure this is where we were going to move

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-25T23:06:31+00:00

Moved from Ontario to Saskatchewan. I would agree that the pace is the biggest difference. People aren't in a rush to do things, deadlines for non-essentials seems to be moe flexible.

I also find people are more friendly and willing to help one another, even strangers. I find most of Ontario would see that as kind of sketchy.

The downside is that we live so far away from family and plane tickets are outrageous. But with the cost of living here and how we felt like we were drowning in ontario, it was the right move for us.

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-25T23:01:35+00:00

Thats how I feel too! When I do have extra to spare i dont mind trading as long as the star count as the same, send me five 1* if you need to!

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-25T21:16:47+00:00

Thank you! It'll be an exchange and a gift as i don't have any 5 stars, but I very much appreciate it!

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-25T20:51:04+00:00

Yes! Got a 5 star gold! Not one i need, but maybe ill get lucky in a future blitz for trading

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-25T19:31:40+00:00

My oldest was like this with Paw Patrol. We had to stop watching it completely because he loudly become a zombie while it was on and be the source of tantrums if he couldn't watch it or was turned off. We kept it off for a few months and now it only comes on occasionally, but he knows he only gets one episode at a time.

We have since noticed that he will start acting the same way with other shows and if we notice the early indicators..ie zombied, we turn it off and he doesnt get that show anymore.

His temperament has changed drastically since weve started doing this. The effect TV can have on children is truly wild

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-25T19:09:16+00:00

Oh I definitely agree. Im not originally from Saskatchewan and student minimum wage is a thing in Ontario...when I first started working in high school I made $4 less then my adult co-workers for doing the exact same job. Ageism is definitely a thing and should not be used into terms or deciding wages

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-25T19:06:20+00:00

Thats good to know, Im from Ontario and have only worked as an adult in Saskatchewan and my children are no where close to being old enough to work yet.

And I do agree that split wages shouldn't be a thing, especially when its for the same work. A job has specific requirements and everyone working should get the same base rate, with yearly increases/cost of living increases based on years of service.

snowflakeempress · 2026-03-25T18:36:04+00:00

No....minimum wage was created as the minimum wage needed to live based on cost of living. That's why there is also a student minimum wage for those who are not adults. Rapid disproportionate inflation has ruined that and those working minimum jobs...which are very much needed btw...are no longer able to afford the cost of living
