My SIL left a deposit for her wedding photographer a year ago and the mfer's secretary called her last night and told her he can't shoot her wedding because "he is a guest in another wedding". Her wedding is one week from today... OOOOH rage. Thats shady. Why wait so long to tell you SIL?????EXACTLY. I heard through the grapevine that he is known for this. He gets a better deal and then cancels on the lesser valued gig.

So, I emailed C's kindergarten teacher yesterday to see how he is acting there and she also said this has been his worst week so far. That she has told him he is out of warnings and the next step is sending a letter home, which he does not want and tends to correct himself after being told that. Fun times. Hoping she is at the picnic tonight and I can get a quick word in with her. I want to see if he is sitting separately from his best friend because, as much as I hate to say it, I think they need some separation to improve the listening issue. They get excited when they are together and I think they need to not be right beside each other during the day.

any ideas on how to keep my kid from undoing his safety harness while i am driving? He's driving me bonkers. Every 2 minutes I have to pull over to strap him back in.

On the positive side, C's teacher said he is a good kid and seems to like school and she has already seen some progress in him. Now to get the behavior under control.

Checking in from vacation. I've been nauseated most of the trip and J has had some very terrible two moments but overall, it's been nice! The seafood has been delicious and I've been asleep at like 9 almost every night. We head back tomorrow and will stop overnight partway through. I'm kind of looking forward to getting back to my routine. And getting a break from my family.

What are you looking to do? Are you coming with the kids? Eat poutine. I'm not really sure, honestly. Just looking to get away for not a lot of money. Sight see a little, explore, eat, drink, shop a little? No kids. Best poutine is La Banquise (beside Parc La Fontaine). Staying on the Plateau Mont Royale, Mile End, Rosemont, or downtown would be "central". There is transit - bus and train - to get around. Also there is Bixi bike services that could help you get around easily (drunk bike rides home are fun). Im not 100% sure when the service ends for the season. Typically is pretty chilly by the time your coming so people use them less. Ourtremont is a rich area with a lively Jewish community. It beautiful to walk around and easily walk in and out of shops, boutiques, restaurants, etc. Even as far north at Little Italy is good. You'd travel a bti father to get places but its typically cheaper. Each neighborhood in Montreal is pretty much its own self sustaining community. So you really cant go wrong with many places. If you want to double check specific locations let me know. You can send it PM. Also, once you know if you're coming I can give more suggestions for specific places etc.

Why are people jerks? I posted a stroller for sale and got a message overnight that someone was interested. I told her it was still available and haven't heard back from her yet. I try to give people 24 hours to respond given work, kids, etc. Someone else messages me and is begging me to sell it to her even though I told her I was waiting to hear from another person. "OMG, I NEED this. I'll even pay more than you asked"! Sorry, but I'm not skipping someone just because you offer more money. I feel like then I'd be the jerk if the person gets back to me before the 24 hour time limit. Or am I being the jerk?

45thparallel, I was just looking in the Plateau Mont Royale area. I can't believe how cheap AirBnbs are in the area. Under $100 a night!? What are some MUST DO's for Montreal that you would recommend to a newcomer? H JUST texted me saying he was looking briefly, but wasn't sure what there is to do there. I've always wanted to see Montreal, so I'm trying to sell it

any ideas on how to keep my kid from undoing his safety harness while i am driving? He's driving me bonkers. Every 2 minutes I have to pull over to strap him back in. Can you take the straps off and install them backwards? Like the crotch button facing in instead of out? Maybe find some really fascinating toys that will keep him entertained while driving to distract him from getting out? Like a little busy board with lots of clips and buckles and zippers? Or there is always duct tape, an under-rated parenting tool! lol
