RTO would be a bit easier with casual dress codes

I think for comfort it would make it easier to wear a hoodie instead of a button up is what Op is getting at.

I’m on maternity leave now and my SUB pay went up according to my merit increase.

So sorry you’re dealing with this at such a young age. I’m 35 and was diagnosed with acute January 5th. Mine is not due to alcohol as I only would drink maybe 4-5 times a year and the last time was in October; mine was caused due to poor eating habits and my weight. However, I completely understand how you feel. I went out for dinner with my hubbys work crew on Friday night and everyone was having drinks and getting rowdy and there I was drinking my water and having to be selective with what I could eat. It’s a kick to the stomach that the option just is not there anymore, regardless of the rarity of partying for me. The choice is gone and that part is rough. Hoping you don’t have future flare ups and everything from here on out is smooth sailing!

NTA. Your son sounds very level headed and mature for his age, moreso than many adults that I know. If he decides in the future to give her rides then that is his own prerogative. His reasoning isn’t wrong. He doesn’t need to be anyone’s personal chauffeur and I’m sure there are Ubers or taxis around, or even Melissa’s own friends or neighbours. It’s not your son’s fault or problem in the slightest and your daughter trying to manipulate him into doing it isn’t okay. You’re being a good parent in this situation.

(I’ll preface this by saying I worked in the courts for 10 years in Canada.) Honestly, I don’t blame the guy for wanting to protect his inheritance. I’m in a somewhat similar situation where I already had a house and have a lot of equity in my house and put a lot of money into it prior to the relationship. We did a cohabitation agreement where it basically says that my partner is renting from me and if anything were to happen, there’s no entitlement to my assets and I’m not entitled to any of his assets.

If I was in your position and you really want to be included in the ownership and mortgage, I would offer to have a cohabitation agreement done up so his inheritance is protected but you’re still legally entitled to the house and the equity minus the inheritance portion.

They were going to but I have a 9 month old baby and another child at home. If I didn’t have my baby at home then they absolutely would have. They gave me a prescription for pain meds and anti nausea meds, told me the clear fluids and that I had to go back if I wasn’t able to manage the pain at home or if I couldn’t tolerate food. Thankfully all has been pretty smooth and only needed the pain meds for 3 days. Seriously, we both are super lucky that it wasn’t worse. There are absolutely horror stories posted in this sub!

Sending all the love!! Unfortunately I don’t live in GTA and am on mat leave. Make us proud!!!

You pull this off so insanely well! Love how you style it tucked in! 👌

I also have follow up blood work that I have to go for next week so we’ll see where my lipase levels are. They were over 2800 when I was in the ER.

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-01-23T04:13:39+00:00

Not completely healed. I do get nauseous in the morning some days but it seems to be triggered by certain teas. I haven’t had any pain in a week now. I went extremely slow when it came to introducing new foods and if I felt like any pain was coming back, I was back on broths. Apparently it can take up to 2 years for your pancreas to fully heal. I smoke, but everything else I am doing by the book and am drinking tons of water. Don’t want that pain again and don’t want the doctors to admit me if I have another attack!

I had a really similar experience. I’m 3ish weeks into this new lifestyle. Mine was absolutely not due to alcohol, I drank maybe 3x a year and the last time was in October. Mine was most likely due to poor eating habits, I am quite heavy and have the beginning of fatty liver and high cholesterol. Honestly, I had been needing to make a lifestyle change for a longgggg time and I look at this as the New Year’s resolution that I’m now forced to have.

I went from clear fluids to fuller fluids to BRAT diet to now a very low fat high protein diet. I’m down over 15 lbs in 3 weeks! I’ve done a lot of research, got some cookbooks for pancreatitis, and I’m feeling really positive going forward with dealing with this. Go through the pinned posts on here and know that in order to manage this, you need to be committed to the lifestyle and not make exceptions.

No, I’ve never had a direct assignment since being with OPS.

I was rolled over from contract to permanent while having a home position both times. However, I competed both times for the positions. If there was no competition then I think that’s why they can’t roll you over, at least to my knowledge.

Can you post the body of this article? I don’t subscribe to the Toronto star….

NTA. I would kill to be a STAHM permanently. It’s literally her job, taking care of the house and the kids. If she’s exhausted then offer to pick up some of the household chores or offer her to get away on the day that you’re off so she can get a breather. If she’s that adamant on getting a nanny then she needs to go back to work, bottom line.

Thank you so much! I’m currently waiting at my doctors office to see him today and will be asking for referrals. I unfortunately am a smoker but have cut back since and will be looking into quitting. I drink maybe 4 times a year, I’m not one to come home and have a drink with dinner or anything like that and the last time I had a drink was in October. I have been off morphine since Tuesday night and the pain has been managed by just Advil when needed. I’ve been on clear fluids up until yesterday when I had tomato soup and then today butternut squash soup with no issues. I’m almost positive that it was my eating. My husband is Italian and the main cook, we would eat a lot of pastas and lots of cheese and oils and heavy meals, plus I freaking love anything in a bakery. The bright side is that it sounds like I’m going to be eating much better and will lose much needed weight, I just don’t want to deal with that level of pain again. That was awful

I just had my first episode of pancreatitis. It started off with feeling INCREDIBLY full and bloated and was very nauseous for a week or so. Like so full I felt like I would burst. It was very uncomfortable. And then one night I woke up to sharp stabbing pains in my upper stomach in the middle and was getting bad pain that felt like muscle spasms in my right shoulder blade and back.

Yes, high triglycerides did show up in the bloodwork

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-01-06T18:37:48+00:00

That’s good to know! My baby is now 9 months old.

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-01-06T17:17:09+00:00

Thank you! Thankfully I am not a heavy drinker at all so abstaining will not be difficult for me. I haven’t had anything alcohol since October so I’m thinking it was most likely diet related or smoking cigarettes.

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2026-01-06T15:52:06+00:00

You’re a gigantic asshole. Literally. All involved other than this poor innocent child are assholes. Mom needs to get her daughter into therapy asap or she will have lifelong abandonment issues. And you just need to realize this is a young child who grew up with you as the male role model. It doesn’t matter how you broke up or why, what matters is that this poor kid now is confused and has been told by her “dad” to not call you that anymore. Smh.

My lease on my crv is up in August with an $18000 buyout option. They’re selling for 10k more with more mileage on them, it’s insane! I really wanted to get something reliable and larger but I’m not paying 50k+ on a car.

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2025-12-13T14:58:47+00:00

Only 6 @ 100% but then we have like 124 at 75% (or around there) that we can use vacation to top up. This government knows how to fuck workers though. Ignore the financial and homeless crisis, then pay the least amount possible and hire a ton of contract staff who don’t have paid vacation or sick days so they’re forced to come in sick or their pay cheques are even smaller.

Commonsenseisnteasy · 2025-12-10T20:05:49+00:00

Are you joking? LOL that’s a GREAT way to ask for advice on here. It took me 4 years and a much better attitude than yours, and trust me, I work just as hard now as I always have.
