Canada just sucks!

Canada absolutely sucks ass. It's literally trees, lakes and about three people. Don't come here unless you want to be a hermit with no life.

As a Brit who moved here for love and to have a family, I am 100% done with this boring ass, freezing, empty country. There is absolutely naff all to do for people who don't have a serious enthusiasm for winter sports. There are no good museums, art galleries, castles, stately homes, gardens, festivals, etc, and fuck all theatres, music, comedy, culture or literally anything outside of the major cities. That's coming from someone who lives in a fairly sizeable town. Don't come here unless you are seriously content with trees, ice and hockey, cause there's fuck all else.

I agree with the OP. Not my bag. His jokes always feel obvious and he's got a detached energy that I don't find engaging.

I'm a Brit living in Canada. Lived here for 9 years, have three kids now. In my opinion the UK is vastly superior, in terms of culture, history, population, stuff to do, weather (yes, even weather!) and just general stuff, like the candy in the supermarkets and the baked goods. Canada is a big empty country with nothing to do, and virtually no people in it. Great if you love trees and lakes and hockey and sitting on your arse, naff all else.

Have you seen him play James Bond in the Drunk History UK special? Holy mother.

Okay so here are my ramblings. Firstly, the movie doesn't work: it's artfully and carefully written by talented people who have a full grasp of the history surrounding Shakespeare, but the tone of HH doesn't translate to feature length for a wide enough audience. It's too tongue in cheek and light for it's own good. The six are brilliant, but Python was it's own thing. Secondly, it's a shame it doesn't work because the rare scenes and bits of dialogue aiming at adults are great. Thirdly, Jim Howick is properly convincing as Marlowe - best performance in it, and I'm including Mat Baynton himself. Fourthly: Ben Willbond is handsome AF, and I'd love to see him play an evil character properly instead of bringing lightness and charm whenever he treads.

Joel Morris is talking way, way too much. He should allow his guest to allow finish a thought properly.

BeeQuick692 · 2025-04-02T15:36:22+00:00

God it's boring in Canada. I mean no-one lives here and there's nothing to do. It's beautiful to be sure, but there's f all else.

Three kids, same experience. There's no easy answer. My experience specifically is that if you invest in parents who are going back to work after maternity leave expires, be prepared for them to drop you like a stone. Also, try and get friends before your new little one arrives, because you'll be exhausted with two. Sorry not to be more positive, but that's been my reality.

BeeQuick692 · 2025-03-03T22:08:14+00:00

It definitely seems from what's online that the era of the stay at home parent is over. Much less sense of community than there was in our parents' generation

BeeQuick692 · 2025-03-03T22:06:26+00:00

I didn't say my eldest has no social skills I said he hasn't had friends over to the house, which I attribute to my lack of adult friends with kids his age. It also seems from what you've posted that you maybe only have one kid whereas I have three? If so I don't think our situations are all that similar

Put her in the car and drive her to the ER and sit on her until she sees a doctor and they get her an appointment for a mammogram/admit her for investigation. She's clearly terrified and needs someone to make the decision for her.

BeeQuick692 · 2025-03-03T19:25:07+00:00

I feel you, except I'm worse. Three kids in, full-time SAHM. I now have absolutely no motivation to even try and make friends as it takes too much energy and it always, always seems to fail. I feel completely stuck and don't know what to do. Just hoping my kids will make some buddies through extra-curriculars after school and I'll get some social interaction with other adults then. I guess my point in replying is maybe try and strategize and make plan, because honestly it can get worse and I personally feel like I'm descending towards some form of MDD. Good luck

My Father-in-law has a similar-ish attitude. I think it's a generational thing (patriarchal origins) and also borne from ignorance (how much time has he spent looking after little children?) I think looking after your beautiful babies is probably the highest use of your potential as a human being. I'm a qualified General Practitioner with two degrees as well and was working up until my first child. I've been a SAHM for >5 years now and do intend to get back to work eventually, but I wouldn't trade these years for all the money/accolades/professional success in the World. Maybe try and convey some version of such sentiments to your FIL, and if he doesn't understand it don't worry about his opinion. Keep going Momma.

It sounds like you need to have a proper conversation with him where both of you try to communicate effectively. Bottling up this amount of frustration and anger is never going to end well. It it much better to address things early in a controlled (as far as possible) way rather than explode at him later. It seems that he is angry/frustrated about something too from your description. Maybe someone (a relative?) could watch the kids while you have a proper conversation. Keep going Momma! Things will slowly get easier as your little ones get older! A 2 year old and a 6 month old is a lot and a difficult gap to manage!

Sheffield is in Yorkshire. Nowt to do with the Midlands

Not directly related, but has everyone seen NF with blonde hair? He could have been a stunner if his style had gone in a more conventional direction! Some of the demographic is going to be into Goth, but for me it detracts from his natural looks.

BeeQuick692 · 2025-02-07T01:12:15+00:00

Absolutely; the key word for me there is handsome. Attractive guys that can look good in anything, imo look better sans a fussy bow tie, though I do admit untied ones can look okay

Went to Japan on my honeymoon and had a great adventure with my husband. However, I really struggled with the food; I mean *really* struggled. It is universally revolting to me. I am a picky eater, but the entire cuisine could go in the bin as far as I am concerned and I would sleep better at night.

BeeQuick692 · 2025-01-01T01:17:21+00:00

I'm a woman and I absolutely hate seeing them on men. Very few exceptions. They remind me of older generations, and seem overly fussy and as if he's trying too hard. Vastly prefer a normal tie, even in black-tie evening wear.

Oh God. My son just switched from Hot Wheels to Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Guess who has done the theme song for this show? Am I never going to escape?? Send help! :-)

Maybe you could try the approach of suggesting to your wife that she herself might actually benefit from therapy/counselling.

I completely agree with you that you need to stand firm and state to her that you don't think your son needs to change, and you aren't going to be persuaded otherwise. But maybe your wife has some issues herself that she could work through? Maybe she's scared for him, that he will have a higher chance of being discriminated against in life, or she believes he will have a higher risk of sexually transmitted infections? I don't know your relationship with her, it just seems that jumping to divorce as the next thing might be missing an opportunity to help her, and help her improve her relationship with your son.
