Yeah but it's hard to blame anyone. What should happen is free early childhood education for families subsidized by the government.

No, not volunteers to work. They're asking families to volunteer to not send their children that day to maintain a legal or practical student to teacher ratio. These kids then stay home, but because of how these places operate and need to pay their teachers and other personnel, you get no discount or anything. You'd just eat the cost.

And it's already melting now. This sub loves to act like we have brutal winters, but it's hardly anything at all.

Yeah. My kid will be going to Kindergarten before too long here so I'm not willing to rock the boat or change anything. But yeah, I'm excited for "free" childcare, despite my angst about him getting older.

Same. My kid already only goes 3 days and being that we work from home, we've volunteered several times. I try not to be mad at them though. Not having staff blows and those teachers are paid only a fraction of what they deserve.

Same. Every day it's "we need 7 volunteers to stay home today and pay us", which I get, I guess, but they had this teed up at like 6PM yesterday so you know they were salivating over it.

Edit: I creeped through your post history. Pretty sure our kids know each other haha. You're basically me.

Big agree.

It's gas powered, but I have to push it. Self propelled are too heavy and slip on the steep hills. Electric wouldn't last for the job and are similarly heavy, plus I don't have the money to throw at it. So I got the lightest gas mower for the job, and it sucks, but it's what does the job.

Where I live in SWPA, it rains constantly and the grass grows so fast that I have to or it'd be too long for my push mower to handle it. Plus it's hilly here, so I have to use the push mower, as a riding mower would roll over and kill me. I hate it more than any other chore ever.

Infinitely better than mowing my dumbass lawn twice per week in 90° heat with 1,000% humidity.

Can't do that when you're in hilly-ass SWPA. Mowing my lawn is 1 and 3/4 hours of grueling pushing a mower up a hill. And it's so hot and gross out here in the summer anymore. It's truly a bullshit experience.

They're anti-voting in general.

Those are steamed hams.
