But all kids from the age of 4 or 5 spend over half the day at school whether mom is home or not, you saying that is "nice upbrining"?

PC's are behind the idea How are we suppose to get legal daycares? nobody in their right mind would open a daycare on that level so the government has to implement it. City also runs DayCares for the last 35 years If we don't do this Then OTOOL will be screaming parents are using a nieghbour and they aren't paying taxes Edited June 7, 2017 by 1trailmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earlier kids learn to adjust to large groups of people the better. Going to public school is more than just learning about math, kid who's parent speak another language at home will learn English very quickly at age 4, the longer you wait the harder it gets. And it helps working parents out is a win win Edited June 7, 2017 by 1trailmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most middle class families of the 50s & 60s made do with what they could afford, paying cash. Reno the kitchen every 5 years whether it needs it or not. Put everything on credit & pay the minimum monthly amount. I remember seeing infants being dropped off @ daycare in the morning @ 6:30 & then the parents are off to the 401. Get back @ 7, get home & put the baby to bed. Nice upbringing. These people will be fucked if interest rates ever go up. Kids who attend early childhood education (daycare) tend to ne more social. I actually feel sorry for kids being raised by grandparents or moms that do nothing with them. We did it from when my son was 6 months and looking back, i doubt i would change much.

I wonder why??????? Autism has been over diagnosed since they decided to change the way in which they diagnose these kids. Most kids diagnosed are pretty much normal and have no disability.

02sled Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Not Wynnebag and the province but the City of Toronto which does equally stupid things. As of the end of Tuesday May 30, 142.6 millimetres of rain fell in the month of May at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The average amount of rain for the month is 74.3 mm. Last year the city decided they needed to plant trees on the boulevards on the other side of the street. We managed without them being there since the houses were built around 1958. As noted above... what have we had plenty of during the month of May? Rain, rain and more rain. The soil is saturated. But what comes down the street last Wed late in the afternoon a City of Toronto truck with 2 people and a large tank on the back that says water only. The truck stops in front of the first tree. The passenger gets out of the truck while the driver stays in the cab. He unwinds the hose at the rear of the truck and gives the tree about 30 seconds of water. Winds in the hose gets in the truck and the driver moves the truck ahead 50 feet where the process is repeated. Just another example of government genius and spending tax $'s wisely.

Its called taking care of your investments...... A while back I was in on a SODDING contract, I asked this question at the meetings (twice) what is the watering plan? beside dead looks I got no answer other than the rain will take care of it or maybe a sprinkler can do the job. Well moving forward the contractor ended up replacing the entire 2 acres of sod because it burned up...... Cost them thousands of dollar due to stupidness of not watering. The only stupidness was NOT WATERING, glad to see the city doing it right no matter what the old miserable man hiding behind his curtains says You are hard to please 02sled, if I was in charge of your street you would get nothing ever from the city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is NOT just laid sod! These are trees that were planted a year ago. The soil is saturated with water. There isn't any shortage of moisture in the ground. The amount of water a tree would get in 30 seconds from a truck is nothing in comparison to the water that came in the form of rain during the month of May. The trees survived quite well for the past year without the water truck. Typical government worker mentality.... You would be the person with a sprinkler system going during a week of torrential rain storms. I pray that you're not in charge of anything of any consequence. Especially where there is any financial consideration. Now if it was during a hot dry period it would be a different matter but it wasn't hot and dry. Reminds me of the old joke that has such a ring of truth to it. A truck comes down the street. One guy gets out and digs a hole, another then gets out and fills it in. A resident asks what they are doing. Well I dig a hole to put a tree in and my friend here fills in the hole with the tree in it but the guy who puts a tree in the hole is on vacation this week.

If the grass hasn't grown do you still mow the grass or do it when required. I know my lawn requires mowing much more frequently in the spring than in the middle of summer.
