[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 548315, member: 14356"] These observations are very true for Canadians as well. I think our obesity rate is slightly lower than the US (but we are catching up fast) and our unemployment rate is slightly lower than the US right now as well - but not as low as yours, Suzir. Our minimum wage is $10.25/hour and our dollar is almost at par with the US dollar right now. We rarely eat those sugary cereals. Once a year, maybe. There's enough junk available that I just don't think they need to start their breakfast with it. I can drive both manual and automatic but I drive an automatic - just more convenient. husband just bought a BMW that has 'sport mode' so you can shift gears like a manual without the clutch. Fun driving if you're on the highway without hurting his bad knee. And yes, homework is a huge pet peeve of mine. Much of it is busy work and my easy child is so busy after school with dance that it is difficult to balance busy work homework, dance and necessary homework. Ugh. Very insightful observations by your difficult child. [/QUOTE]
