I will not eat the food. As I wasn't invited and I am not mad at that but please keep your food. Thank you.

This is exactly how I feel, I wasn’t even mad at her for not inviting me to the party. At least it saved me money for gifts nah😀But why bring me food when you don’t value our relationship.

Dessdess:
How would you handle this situation….my neighbour was having her birthday party which she invited a couple of people, I didn’t know it was her birthday until I saw cars parked in front of our house. Now she sent her daughter to bring food for me and the kids, I feel like if she doesn’t want me to be aware of her birthday why would she bring me food.
Ps: I thought we were cool before now. I am lost at what could be the reason for her acting that way!! I would appreciate everyone’s insight.




Thank you. 😎

Thanks to everyone that shared their thoughts on this. I appreciate your input and learned a thing or two from it.

Good Morning

OhBritannia:
First of all you said she sent her daughter to bring food for you and the kids which means you are married and you already have a wife or atleast you have a woman there with you.
Perhaps she told your wife or your woman and your wife forgot to let you know.

So maybe you should find out first if your wife knew and secondly your wife might have been told but thought it was not necessary to tell you since maybe you are always busy or because she felt you don't need to go and it's a woman to woman thing.

My advise!!! Send your wife to congratulate her on behalf of you and the family, next time you see your neighbor congratulate her again and just move on.

But if she didn't tell or your wife then no problem, probably she forgot or maybe she never valued the relationship both families have.
My advise to you again, eat the food, it's a birthday food, a general food. Just pray before you eat but after the party.
Tell your wife to approach her asking her why she didn't invite or tell you or your wife.

Her answer will determine how both families will cope together from there henceforth.

Thank you. I am a lady by the way. She didn’t tell neither of us about it.. but I will try to ask her about it after the party. Was just going to ignore and trash the food😡

Hey, you don’t have to be rude!

Yea, some people do LPN because it's just 2years, while RN is 3 to 4years depending on the institution..I am trying to find out if there's also grant for RN as it is for LPN though.

olalekan9320:
That's also what I intend doing, someone who already owns a degree don't need to do LPN

Am taking RN straight after HCA not doing LPN...

olalekan9320:
from what have read on schools' website, you might not need LPN

Thank you so much...this was really helpful

19CannyMum:


During the HCA training you might not be able to work, but it's a relatively short training. While in school your kids go to daycare. Maybe take only 3 or 4 courses per semester instead of the maximum 5, work as casual so you can select your shifts.

During your LPN as a PR you'll get loans and grants. Student loans come with a living allowance stipend. Depending on your income you can anticipate 1500 in CCB payments for your children.

Will you be alone with the kids or there's a partner? If there's a partner everything here na 50/50 o. You can do bulk cooking weekends and during the week anyone who's able caters for the children. Laundry na washing machine. Dishes na dishwasher. Stick vacuum. Electric broom. Swiffer. There's even robo vacuum, you program, it sweeps while you're asleep and you wake up to a clean house. Insta pot. Deep fryer. With 3 children equipment and automation will be your best friend

You guys can even arrange yourselves such that the children only do drop in at daycare... For instance he works mornings weekdays, you work nights and weekends. The only time children will go to daycare is weekday if you need to go to school during the day. And depending in school you will have option of evening classes self...

Also make friends and do rub my back I rub your back for baby sitting once in a while.

So calm down sis, you'll be alright. Nothing good comes easy, just hold tight to your dream and before you know it 4 years don over and you hold your RN for hand. By then even your youngest would have started school and na groove go be your second name.

Thank you...am not worried just that I have 3kids under 5..so basically how to combine everything with working..

19CannyMum:


In that case don't be worried. You can do whatever you set your heart to.

Ok thanks...am actually thinking of following that route...HCA to RN..

19CannyMum:


I don't know how easy it is but majority take this route and they don't have two heads.
HCA - less than one year study. Start work immediately after
LPN- two year study
RN- two year study of topping off LPN at school your alma mater has agreement with.

How easy is it for someone to work as Health care aide and also study for nursing at d same time.

ultrazone:

If nursing is your final destination, going for Health Care Aid is better.

Not advisable, cos everything here is appointment...one week is really too short to do all d necessary stuff

SunshineD1:


Thanks for responding.
One month is long enough to get the necessaries.
I'm looking at the possibility of someone delivering within a week of landing.
Advisable or nah?

Hi, I might be able to help you as I delivered a baby 1 month after landing in Winnipeg

SunshineD1:
Good morning all from Nigeria,
Please is there anyone that delivered a baby immediately after landing in Canada? Say, within a few days to a week? I need some walk through on the process from boarding/fit to fly and getting a GP/OBGYN in a very short period. Thank you
