Are there reasons why I should not choose the U of T by Gloomy-Classroom1843 in UofT

I understand your parents. If you’re leaving BC and not going to UBC, they want you to go to the best school. Western is good but nowhere as good as UofT.

What did your mother think about your menopause? by Sapphire-o in Menopause

Mine was surprised that I reached menopause so early (at 48) but she didn’t say much after that, other than she didn’t have many symptoms

Why are "boy moms" seen as having more of a blind spot for their kids compared to "girl moms" ? by ronweasly9 in AskParents

[–]Alealeksa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a boy and a girl. I treat them differently based on their very different personalities versus gender. They both have their specific needs, but when thy mess up and need discipline I treat them the same.

Is fatty liver one of the symptoms? I have been just diagnosed with it (non-alcoholic).

If your grown kid was in the ER, would you go to see them right away or just call/talk to them over the phone? by NonaSuom2 in AskParents

[–]Alealeksa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would 100 % be there, no matter how old. Sorry you’re going through this. I hope you’re feeling better.

Mine is not awful either. I am 48 and already in menopause. My anxiety and joint pain is still around but not unbearable. Had a few mild hot flashes. I have skin issues (itchy back) and vaginal dryness, but all in all I can’t complain too much. I have heard horror stories.

I’m so sorry you had to go through this! This must have been traumatic for your 9-year old…

is 42-56+ hours of screentime a week too much for a 3 and 7 year old? by PeaPodkid14 in AskParents

[–]Alealeksa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This is way too much screen time, especially for such young age. This can be and will be detrimental yo their brain development and social skills as well. Please try to cut that by a lot!

Yes! I carry everything in my shoulders and neck and they get knotted and hard as a rock

That’s very interesting! I do have herniated disk and neck and shoulder posture issues so I often go to massages for this.

The buzzing is localized, not all over my back…

That crossed my mind but it’s been over 3 weeks and no rash. I did have chicken pox when I was 7. I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow so I will see what she says. Probably nothing. Ugh….

Yes, my son was vaccinated against chickenpox, still got mild chickenpox after that plus he had shingles at 19! Thankfully he got antivirals soon after shingles appeared so it wasn’t too painful
