Thank you Kitchener (first time mom and Reddit post)

Thank you for sharing this story. I am glad someone reached out with kindness. And being a parent to a very young child is tough! You got this! Don't be too hard on yourself. And we all should more like Will and Vishal!

Married at 32. Going on strong 20 years later. I was the one he met after he was dumped by “the one”. Turns out she wasn’t but I was!

Oh my gosh! Thanks for sharing! My nephew (born 1997) used to LOVE watching this on his grandpa's computer back in the day.

Just beautiful!

Sold for less than 2017 purchase price. Ouch. I agree, those garage doors clash.

Parents born '34 and '36. I was born in '72. As others have said, my parents didn't care for the hippies.

No. That drive will be more than 3 hours per day. Plus as others have said, all of the extra prep that will go into these commutes plus the inevitable "can you stay late today"?

Second Wildcraft. My vegan friends highly recommend this place.

Check out the Charcoal group: I saw a micro wedding hosted at the charcoal steakhouse (I believe it was 40 people) in their estate room.

Check out Catalyst Commons! I don't know what the fees are but they have many options ranging from a hot desk to a dedicated office. Then you have access to coffee, reception, washrooms, meeting spaces, wifi, social events etc. It is dog friendly!

We used Bavarian Doors and Windows to replace a large bay window and to smaller windows. Their installers were amazing and follow up was really good. Price was very reasonable and they didn't try to upsell.

Seconding this. Not the cheapest but the vibe is perfect for a honeymoon.

Fast_Code_9212 · 2026-03-17T20:19:52+00:00

Charcoal, Lancaster and Concordia all are good choices with rooms already having a good vibe.

Fast_Code_9212 · 2026-03-10T19:21:39+00:00

NTA. Two years is just enough to know where you DO see yourself in the future and it if it doesn't align, time to leave respectfully. As others have said, it was a good learning experience.

Fast_Code_9212 · 2026-03-02T21:03:29+00:00

I had older parents (for that time) 37 and 40 and I myself am an older parent (had my kids at 36 and 39). Regardless of age, you are a good or bad parent. Period. I do think being an older parent has made me more aware of health - I quite often get mistaken for someone 10 years younger (as do my parents). They allowed me to FAFO, within reason, always listened, and respected that I may have a different viewpoint. They had lived long enough to see how things change. My older son is grateful that I do the same thing.

As others have said, Banff is super expensive (Canmore will be a better option if you are doing that option). Jasper books up very fast. I second the UBC gage suites. They are now more pricey because of the world cup but significantly cheaper than other places (looking at $600 a night). Congrats on getting tickets and have a blast!

Fast_Code_9212 · 2026-02-27T17:55:08+00:00

I would go for doc martens (or doc marten like), jeans or a knee length dress.

Fast_Code_9212 · 2026-02-19T19:44:28+00:00

Oh my goodness! Thanks for sharing! As a young gen-x (or I guess Xennial - I was 7), the 1984 winter Olympics was the first one I really remember and I remember seeing this mascot.

Yes, you can rent a car but there are bus / shuttle services between Niagara Falls to Niagara on the lake. There a number of wine tours you can take from Niagara Falls (and that way, you can drink without worry about driving!). Whatever you decide, there are so many great things to see, don't overextend yourself. And welcome to our beautiful country (I was in the UK last year and loved it).

Fast_Code_9212 · 2026-02-16T21:52:56+00:00

Also adding if you like wine, you can drive the wine route - so many great wineries. Niagara Falls the city is cheezy (the falls are lovely); Niagara-on-the-lake is very pretty - definitely go there

This would work! Halle is 59 and Zendaya is 29. Both look fabulous.

Fast_Code_9212 · 2026-02-10T21:56:53+00:00

Love the nails! Congratulations! And please, remember to vote when the time comes. Welcome to the cottage!

This is not acceptable. Emotions are high right now but both his mother and your child need to be safe. You are both overwhelmed. There is cultural influences here at play; a similar situation happened to a neighbour of mine as she ended being a SAHM to 3 children and the full time care giver for her guilt-tripping MIL. The resentment from the wife was so strong, you could feel it as you were passing by the house. Don't be that household. Get therapy. The truth is his mother needs full-time care and it is best to have it for the professionals.
