Because he’s a pedophile and the only thing that separates him from other creeps like that is a pile of money

It’s a personal decision. I’m happy I have them, but it’s very hard work. There really is a lot of emotional payoff through watching them grow up and helping shape them as human beings. Totally understand those that aren’t able to or willing to put up with the downsides though.

Add children and you won’t even have time to breathe

Meanwhile I have to listen to braindead coworkers lecture me on how everything is Trudeau’s fault and once the Conservatives get in federally they’ll fix the economy. Hadn’t heard more discussions of economic policy than when I started working on a construction site. Apparently every random drywaller is an expert.

My kid spent a week in the ICU with it last year. In fact his entire daycare did. Pretty sure it resulted in long term asthma as he didn’t have any of these issues prior to getting it.

He’s also 85, I know he has a construction background but I certainly hope he has contractors doing the majority of the work. But 2 years with no permits or plans submitted or contractors hired makes me think this guy wants to build it on his own at his own pace, and may be overestimating his own abilities given his age at this point.

And if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike

I hate that thing with a passion. All that energy spent on making those awful snoo avatars and shit. Just disgusting
