The only time I've ever had a throat as sore as razor blades is with Strep. A. Glad to know there's a new slicin' and dicin' vibe to the COVID strains!
We are only one and done because of financial constraints. I'd say that the package of benefits the government offers parents in my location is fantastic and good on them for doing so well to pull it out of the bag. However, what they don't help with is early years childcare costs (0-3 years) which costs us around the same as our mortgage each month. Only now are we able to get 30 hours paid care. That would be ok if the cost of living and mortgage rates weren't already exorbitant and we cannot even consider taking another 3 year hit with our current young dependant.
So yeah, we'd love another kid, but we aren't able to afford one!
Totally agree on the harassment angle. That's where you'll get the police to listen. Had to take a similar approach with a paranoid schizophrenic neighbour who equally did not take his meds. The harassment angle allowed them to involve other agencies such as mental health and care workers to improve his situation, and in turn, ours.
If they ever find their Zion, I hope someone takes a big proverbial shit on it in the form of a nuclear warhead
