As if people in cities all have driveways!

It does seem like crazy advice in some ways, but if she knows that nothing he could say could convince her to stay it might be the right move. After all, if she tells him she wants to break up and then it takes her weeks or months to find a new place, then there’s all that time they are living together while broken…

Oh you are talking about daycares. This is about in home childcare and the lack of regulation on that. I don’t know what sorts of regulations daycares are under.

Honestly at this point I think it’s clear that they are incompetent to deal with ANYTHING AT ALL. Fuck, they screw up everything they touch.

Like anything you get an invitation for with a request for an RSVP, such as weddings, sit down dinners, more structured events, etc. Because for those a yes or no is required or else you are really inconveniencing the hosts. I assume this policy is…

That is a cute idea!

thanks :)
