Stories for my Future Children

How my daughter pronounces things, part 1: Zebra = beeba

@Treysfordays5 @tmcrumpet @StephaEnyinna *There are *you're

@tmcrumpet @StephaEnyinna There’s caveats cause if your successful the last thing you want is to argue with your wife on what you can/can’t buy or do etc No one wants a hs dropout & that’s using an extreme 😂

Patriarchy loves uneducated women. Educated women are not easy to manipulate.

@BlameCanucks @OJoelsen Is it bad to say we both support our friends and also like make sure they keep the Geneva conventions up to date?

@OJoelsen Canada joined WW2 unprovoked with the UK. That's who we are and we'll do it again in a heartbeat.

Canadian 🇨🇦 boycott of U.S. hitting border states hard: Congressional report. Democrats point to Trump's policies hurting American businesses. The drop in Canadian tourism to the United States in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's actions is hurting American businesses in several states, a new report by a congressional committee has found. The committee's eight-page report, made public Wednesday, outlines the toll that the Canadian boycott of travel to the U.S. has taken on 11 U.S. border states, with state-by-state data and testimonials from a wide variety of business owners. -CBC News

@Binghams_ So glad to hear that she's okay!

@acekingspades @TheBeardFiles @splendid_pete Obviously, the liberty to live in an HOA that tells him what shade of green his lawn needs to be.

@TheBeardFiles @splendid_pete What liberty exactly do you think you'd give up?

Some Americans are going to lose their shit over this. After 13 years in Europe, he realized the US model he was taught to idolize is far less free in practice: daily gun fear, unaffordable healthcare, car-dependent cities, weak worker rights, high costs, and political dysfunction. Europe gave him walkable neighborhoods, safe streets, universal healthcare, stronger consumer protections, better food standards, real worker rights, and a government that can actually pass laws. The quality of life shift was so dramatic he no longer sees the US as the benchmark, just a place where people accept hardship as “freedom.”

@TheFoxMatriarch Disappeared trying to go to the outhouse in a snowstorm. Happens all the time.

If seven kids into a marriage my husband was like "lol I'm going to get another wife" He would suddenly go missing. Alaska is a hard place to survive. He just wandered off and got lost. I'm sure.

@paaaaigem @momofdroids Yep. Like "ma'am, I can tell from the rise on that rectangular hockey puck that you did it wrong"

@momofdroids Her top response was that it's so "good and healthy" - girl WHO IS EATING BANANA BREAD TO BE HEALTHY. I just know there's not enough sugar or butter in this loaf!

@deestiv @ChaosJardin @iWomansplainer I understand the restrictions of coverage based on the lack of standardization of certifications around who can call themselves a midwife. What I don't understand is the lack of standardization of certifications around who can call themselves a midwife lol

@ChaosJardin @iWomansplainer Right lol like find a care team you can trust. Granted I know folks have restrictions around that based on insurance or where they live, but options for care you’re comfortable with do exist, you just may have to actively seek them out.

2 things can be true at once: -hospitals and medical professionals should listen to and accommodate women’s prenatal & birth preferences without pressuring. -women should work on being assertive enough to advocate for themselves, AND/OR utilize support people to help. That you don’t want to deal with the discomfort of telling a doctor no to vaccines is an insufficient reason to avoid prenatal care.

@Binghams_ Multiple "all the kids are smiling" photos?? That's possible?!?!

@Binghams_ My daughter didn't walk til she was 20 months old. Pediatrician said at her 12m appt that he wasn't worried about her delay and we'd talk again at 18m. 18m appointment comes along and she's still not walking but she actively trying to scale his desk. He still wasn't worried 😅

@Binghams_ Mine wants "purple presents with tissue paper and toys"... We're going to be here for a while 😆

@MrsKylie01 You've got this!!

@everycountry197 @Siculoid I was thinking the same thing for C and Norway.

@Siculoid B. Not many opportunities come along to do Iceland on a budget!

There is only one right answer

@StoriesformyFu1 They were the baby screaming all along 💀

Ear plugs and some emotional intelligence. You’re a grown up. The bay is a baby. Babies cry. Cope.

@CoralMSmith @KJP He needs to learn to love the couch/spare bed because there's simply no coming back from that, I'm afraid...

@KJP Do u KNOW how much that pot is worth???? She better have a new one waiting for her

Tell me your worst kitchen disasters so I’m not alone in the doghouse tonight 😭 I’ll start: turned my wife’s chicken soup into pile of ash and retired her favorite pot early

@juliedangerrr @momofdroids

@momofdroids this generation of grandparents didn't even want to be parents in the first place...

@cessonmute My grandparents separated in the 70s (divorce wasn't legal), my grandma fell in love with someone else, he got cancer and died. She thought it was God punishing her so she went back to my grandfather. Their marriage "lasted" because my grandma felt bad for disappointing Jesus.

"marriages used to last." nuh bro, your grandma was chained by the ankle

@DailyBayleigh Yay!!!

Hey friends, guess who just got extubated??

@alyssaleann I feel like the other way this can go is you have kids and get more angry. There are some things that my parents did that, as a parent now, I'm seething at how they could do that or put that on a child.

@DustyRoseYYC @Christophe27323 @christoaivalis Your expenses *shouldn't* require a $300k salary after retirement though even if that's what you were bringing in before. Your house is hopefully paid off, you're not contributing to an RRSP, any kids have moved out, etc.

@Christophe27323 @christoaivalis Why not? If that's what I made working that's what I'd want to retire on. Nobody's goal is to live a totally worse lifestyle when they retire.

People have no idea how taxes actually work, and this clip is INSANE. A short rant 1. People are calling this unfair, but you need to realize that RRSP contributions aren't actually taxed until you withdraw for retirement. So when you contribute to the RRSP now, you actually get to lower your tax bill. This lets you invest more to build up wealth. When you retire, you pay taxes as you withdraw, often at a lower rate This is especially true for rich people, because they get a top-bracket deduction now, and pay taxes at a lower rate decades later 2. People are acting like they DIDNT GET A COTTAGE. The 55,000 left over is in addition to the property, which is an excellent deal, and a sign the property was quite expensive to general major capital gains. 3. If the sell the cottage, they may end up with large amount for each sibling, even after tax 4. Capital gains is only taxed at half the rate income is, so it's an excellent deal
