This kind of comment isn’t super helpful unless you name the company. All construction has delays, fees, change orders, scheduling issues, etc.

Teach him to say "god damn it" instead

You realize that per capita, cities are far less polluting than suburban sprawl?

What we need is for the state to take over zoning from local municipalities.

>It's disruptive if other children find it offensive
Anyone can find anything offensive. By that logic, kids should never say anything at all for the entire time they are ever out in public.
We simply don't have enough info to tell one way or another, but I find the idea that she's forcing her religion on her students to be much more likely than some other student complained that OP's kid said "oh my god", and it stirred up such a hullabaloo that the principal got involved.

Foxborough and Wrentham are part of Metro West/the metro west corridor. I’m not sure why Plainville isn’t since it’s so close, Attleboro is a little further out.

Fair warning, I know multiple people who had horrendous experiences with prefab. Delays, scheduling issues w/ tradesman, crazy hidden fees and surprise price increases.
I know 2 who were happy with the end result but won’t recommend prefab to anyone because of the issues. 3rd person walked away. Prefab guy wanted the contractual $15000 cancellation fee, but she hired a lawyer and once they started going through all of the contract violations the prefab guy had, they got out fee free (or maybe settled for significantly less, don’t remember). Found a company to custom build for only like $20000 more than the prefab. They had to cut a couple higher priced amenities but got the exact house they wanted.
Not trying to scare you off prefab. I know a couple people who had no issues w/ design and build and love their homes. Just do your research and definitely have a lawyer go through your contract before signing.

Yup, like locusts the overbuilders, the woke BS, and the destruction of what once was a nice town they have caused. It's people like you that have contributed to it with your nasty attitudes and total disregard of others. You can keep that town because all those who made it a great community have left.

Or reject it back to production instead of ignoring an error. Regardless I only popped in to mention AS is a thing. I used to do it to help other stores when I had time to kill during overnights, but now with tech hour cuts that's a thing of the past.

You’re right and this teacher needs to be relax. My wife and I try to say, “Oh my gosh!” around the house as a way to head off this exact situation, but thats just us being probably too cautious. (Also a likely reaction to a family member who has a sailor’s mouth and now her 3yo says ‘fuck’ so that’s neat)
Does your little guy watch Bluey? The parents/kids in that use a lot of funny, but kid-safe phrases that you could introduce. Plus, then you’re watching Bluey which is always a good choice.
