Or you wanted two kids close in age so you saved all the clothes and baby equipment but by the time you had your second the first child was already almost 5 and now you have SO many bins of clothes that every storage place in the house is full. Oh, and people give you clothes for the eldest that can't be used right away so they're also taking up space until they hit that size...

I'm just looking forward to baby #2 outgrowing stuff and then finding a family who needs help and just fully supplying then with everything.

Oops, your right! My brain crossed wires there.

Charging rent to a minor, or making them pay for their own groceries or food. That is literally the bare minimum expected of parents and they're pushing the costs onto their child to support them.

Also, the parents who cancel one child's plans to cater to the other or to babysit their siblings. These are often the ones who I see stop talking to their parents when they hit 18 years.

Overseas Filipino Worker. There're also OCWs: Overseas Contract Workers.

Oh, morning glories are beautiful along a fence line. For maximum vegetative cover, plant lilacs, raspberries, and mint in your garden and watch the jungle grow!!

When my kid was a toddler he'd often practise his "Ba" sounds... which always brought this song to my mind.

Baby: Ba Ba Baaaa Ba Ba

Mom: Barbara Anna take my haaaaand.

I'm even more amazed of the creatures that pop out ready to swim, walk or run. No observation needed, they take 2-3 minutes to come out of a daze then straight to frolicking :) (baby horses and turtles are my favourite)

Paying $100 for a 10 hour shift and calling it $25/hr is some Creative Karen math...

Also common "let me just squeeeeeze past ya"

Members of Parliament get a pretty sweet deal.

Are they expected to take a 1 hour lunch? Or are their shifts 7-2:30 / 8- 3:30?

Oh looks like he lost a bet and had to say that on air lol

A Dog's Purpose

Yes!

Yes!

I wonder if these are also people that blurt out stuff without holding back. You know the one, when people around always say, "wish he'd think a bit more before opening his mouth."

I do hear my dad saying "lefty loosy righty tighty" every time I start struggling with how to screw/unscrew something.

Oh yes, those sirens would be another noise! I've been near firehalls also, people adapt.

I have lived beside train tracks and an airport (two separate occasions) while growing up. Kids will get used to hearing ANYthing. I bet you the parrot is bugging the adult way worse than the baby! And there are things she can do to make sure the baby doesn't hear every outdoor noise when sleeping, like closing the windows, playing a sound machine, turning on a fan, etc...

To be frank, my first thought is, is that supposed to be the female form of Zorro?

Not fake news. Just inaccurate. This covers a tiny proportion of Canadians who are employed by a federal employer (the article you shared states this will increase wages for 30,000 Canadians).

Minimum wages are set provincially. Some provinces have different wages for students, tipped workers, and regular workers. It ranges from about $12.50 to $16.75 (in highest cost of living provinces like BC and the territories).

Edit: not to say the USA minimum wages for tipped workers are not abysmal. But cost of living is rising exponentially in Canada while wages are going up at a snail's pace.

Minimum wage in Canada is not federally regulated, it differs for each province.

If I was the dad the onpy thing I'd do for now is fund the equipment for an in-home salon for OP and see how she does with that, if she can attract and retain customers and be successfully self-employed.

Liam :)

Pawn shops are great for this. You can get one at low cost that doesn't look cheap.
