I disagree re: Ford as well.
My first car was a used Taurus and it was great.
I have now have a 2011 Focus and I love it. I bought it because my friend had a Focus that she drove for YEARS until it died and it was a great car as well.
I love Fords and I'll likely be looking at another one in the future!

Seriously, I'd be livid. The daycare seems to be taking it very seriously and IMO, they should be. Their job is to protect and care for all the students and that kind of behaviour can't be allowed to continue.
I know you feel there is no sexual intent behind your son's actions but these other parents don't KNOW your son and are only interested in protecting their own child (as they should be). If it were my child being touched, I'd likely prefer the daycare remove the offending child and/or involve CAS, especially considering this is a reocurring issue.
As for what you can do, I agree with the suggestion of counselling but maybe start with your son's doctor and he can refer to you to a psychologist or psychiatrist that deals with children.
I should add, I'm not sure I agree with the oven mits as punishment as that seems a bit like shaming to me, so I would probably be speaking with the daycare about that.

I'm not telling you not to bring the seats, I'm telling you, when you are on your own, hauling all that stuff is going to be tough, if not impossible.
The likelihood of the seat being damaged if you check it with luggage vs gate checking doesn't increase. They still throw them around just the same.
I don't see why you feel my response wasn't helpful, especially since I was the only person who responded who has actually gate checked a City Select, but whatev.

I'm not sure why you would want to haul more crap through the airport than you have to.
I have gate checked my City Select many times, no issues and you don't need to wrap it or put it in a bag.
I checked my bucket seat with the luggage and used the seat of the City Select to put my DD in while we were in the airport.
I haven't checked a big car seat yet but my friend has and she did it with her luggage, why haul it to the gate when you don't have to.

We stayed at Aria and I loved it ( I have high standards for hotels). Otto is good but the second time we went we were disappointed.
I highly recommend Wolfgang Puck's Cucina which is in the Crystal's mall attached to Aria, much better than Otto.

No advice on Penn and Teller or Blue Man, neither are my cup of tea.

I like the Brian Gluckstien stuff from The Bay. I like thick, crisp sheets that hold their shape and don't get all baggy and soft. The sets generally run about 150-250 for king size. However, The Bay constantly has sales so you can often get them for less.
Be aware though, he has several different lines and the cheaper ones are not as nice.

FYI, most credit card rental insurance is for property damage ONLY. That means if you damage the car, someone else's car or property you'll be covered.
If you get into an accident and injure or kill someone and they sue you, you will not be covered. This type of coverage is generally known as third party liability coverage. Without this coverage you could be personally liable for thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars if you were involved in an accident.
In Ontario, if you have your own car insurance policy, you are covered for rentals for property damage and third party liablity. If you do not have your own car insurance in Ontario then you need to purchase this coverage.
I'm not sure what other provinces and territories have in their policies with respect to rentals but since you have no car insurance at all you'll need to buy it and more than likely the Visa policy won't be sufficient. If you are in doubt about what is covered I'd be happy to take a look the terms of your Visa and interpret it for you.

I don't use flyers because I don't have time to go to a bunch of stores to get different things.
Before I go shopping, I decide what meals I will make that week both from my list of regular things I make and new recipes I want to try. I usually check my fridge and freezer to see what I have that needs to be used up while deciding what to make as well.
I usually plan 4 meals because one night we will order something or eat leftovers and I don't really plan for the weekends.
Once I know what I'm making I make a list of the ingredients I need and then I go shopping.

I just posted this question in misc a few weeks ago, if you go back a few pages you'll probably find it.
We are considering doing the same thing. Comments generally were that houses take longer to sell. My concern is that unless you are willing to pay a commission to the buyers agent you'll get signifcantly less traffic. However, given that you'd only be paying half the commission instead of paying your agent as well, this might be something to consider.
I think a lot also depends on the market in your area, we are in TO where the market is insane and given that our house is essentially brand new, I think we would do well with a service like Property Bros. We may try this in summer and if we don't sell quickly then list with an agent. Our new house isn't ready until December at the earliest so we have a long time to deal with it.
