Bumped into a friend I haven't seen in over 20 years from Highschool yesterday who still lives in the area of where we went to school and I didn't realize the problem was much bigger than I knew. Catchment is Churchill and she says they're full and it's on a lottery system now, so is Hamber, and a lot of neighboring schools and the closest option to get in for sure is John Oliver like wtf you live in Marpole and you need to go to JO that's some wild stuff right there. I Suppose I shouldn't be surprised though you introduce so much Multi Family dwellings into an entire neighborhood with no new schools and this is what happens.

Am I a bad parent, or do these little guys have a propensity to get themselves or each other killed at the tiniest opportunity?
Saturday, we were at the park. I look down for a second and the older one runs over the 15m old with his bike. The 15m old's head hit the concrete ground and gets a nosebleed. ER visit.
At least we learned, you can't get a nosebleed from head trauma unless it's extreme. The doctor said there's about 3 layers before a brain trauma would come out of your nose. We are talking 100kmh+ car accidents.
Sunday. The older one again, he was playing on my sim seat and somehow managed to fall off and smack his face(read: lips and teeth) on the stone window ledge. Lots of blood. Emergency dentist visit and we need to monitor right now. He may potentially lose another tooth (he lost one at 2yo already).
Learned the hard way last night that Google is full of shit again. I went out to get yogurt so he can eat soft and easy things. It tells me Walmart and Safeway were open till 11pm. They were fucking not. Only Superstore is opened till 11pm nowadays.
That on top of the whole BS about not getting into kindergarten at his home school.... Fuck me this parenting business is rough.

Catchment can be wild.
Getting my daughter into Buckingham took luck and persistence, challenging because it is 1 class per grade, so it is an extremetly small school.
We didn't get in at first, was on waitlist (wouldnt tell which spot though), but I guess I am the parent who called/emailed daily, just enough to be on the verge of being annoying.
I remember dropping by daughter off for the first time and the office reception said.. OMG you are XXXXX's dad right? I recognize your voice... I was like... errr @___@
Though once you have your foot in the door, I remember when it was my son's turn to sign up, there was specifically a place on the form that asked if you had siblings in the school. I guess even the school understands that they don't expect the parents to drop off 2 kids at 2 different schools. So my son got in uneventfully.
Having said that, our principle visited our house once out of the blue when my daughter first got into KG. Literally told my wife straight up that there are alot of complains about "out of catchment families" that she has taken upon herself to visit each family, also giving her the opportunity to connect with the familes on a personal level.
I guess because there was only like 25 families to visit each year... it kinda works for a smaller school like Buckingham.

They sure as shit are supposed to close at 1qpm must be new because their own website still days 11. Sure enough though for Safeway google does say 11 but their website says 10. I usually just hit TnT in Richmond if need stuff late since they close at 12 and I cross the bridge to hit the gym around 11 anyway.

Google is worthless for store hours now. Recently it's sent me to 2 stores that were closed and a gas station that had been bulldozed lol.

I remember my little person falling off the bed / sofa on multiple occasions, and it was scary to watch.

I mean it was still a great time and the kid connected well with the grandparents, it's just us now trying to unravel weeks of bad habits and pushed boundaries lol. FML when they came home with a half-eaten bag of cotton candy.

Waverley! That's where I spent my primary years. Back then, I only knew of Canto and didn't know Mandarin was a thing except oranges 
But running into the kids from Killarney, Kingsford and Corpus 'Crispy' as I used to call it, the ones from Killarney always seemed different as if there was something in the water or the air (other than asbestos).
Of all my cousins who went there (6), only 1 went on to lead a good life. I definitely blame Killarney
