:confused: what are you talking about? teens drink in Canada just like any other Country. This isnt the land of milk and honey you know!

Teens smoke weed here at an alarming early age . This isnt the land of the innocent.

Thanks for your post ladymoose - just having a down day today. I'm really missing my family and friends, friends that we've had for 20-30 years, it's hard not to miss them. I spoke with my sister and her family on the webcam the other day and have felt worse since then.
We've had a few rough points too, DH had an accident at work (5 weeks in)and had to have surgery on his leg and 6 months off work. He got workers comp which is less than wages and we had to use our savings to live. Then when he was off crutches my daughter broke her leg (she wanted her own set of crutches) We can't seem to get back on top of ourselves, financially or otherwise. Family life i suppose!
Child care costs would be extortionate for us, so me working isn't an option (and i never had to in the UK) just feel like i want my old life back....sometimes!

Thanks Jo xx

Sorry you are having such a hard time Jo. You have been looking after your family and ther ailments and now it looks like you need to go out and have some fun .

not sure how much day care is where you are, in Quebec we pay $7.00 a day but maybe you could work PT while your hubby works. Is week end work an option?

hope you feel better soon :thumbsup:

Wow that's cheap :thumbsup: Way back when my 16 year old was preschool I paid about £12 per day for 5 hours - no tax breaks either then.

Princessteve isn't gender challenged, he's gender bending, blending, mixing and mending, as I do. Although I'm happy with the 'feminine' traits that I have, I am happy with my 'masculine' traits as well.

I'm not a chick with a dick though... just to be clear! :cool:
