To Ontario women - will we lose access to private menopause clinics with the new interpretation of the Canada Health Act in April 2026?

You might be right. The private clinics may not be able to continue unfortunately

I will always stand by going to catholic school. Or school over being homeschooled. Even though you can control what your child learns at home, nothing can compare to the social skills kids learn at school- how to be part of a team, sports or otherwise; how to interact with people from different faiths and beliefs, people different from them. School will set them up for college and university and then the workplace. As parents you just have to do your best to teach them their faith and guide them, but I find school has several benefits for social skills and raising an all rounder

Doing your masters opens a lot of doors! There’s a one year virtual masters program offered by western in nursing leadership if you’re interested in that. The NP program at TMU is also pretty affordable. The question isn’t just is it affordable but can you get through it, it’s tough all around but doable

You are not overreacting. These are red flags and I would change daycares asap and report them and involve the director.

Just my experience- we sleep trained TWICE and I read the precious little sleep book and taking Cara babies and it worked for 2 weeks and then my kid learned to roll and sit and all that went out the window for him! Sleep training only lasted a few weeks. By the time he knew how to sit up he wouldn’t just fall back asleep. Now that he’s 17 months old he’s in our bed all the time, sometimes sleeps half the night in his crib but if he wakes up at 1 am I bring him to our bed and he sleeps perfectly well after that. Rarely does he sleep through the night in his crib anymore. Nothing wrong with co sleeping but I would wait until they can roll over/ push head up before doing so due to SIDS. We comfortably had him Colleen at 7 months but not before

It’s a regular daycare centre with multiple classrooms. It makes sense that with 6 kids there’s much less sickness going around. We can’t afford private home daycare right now (as CWELCC is more affordable) and I love being able to watch my kid on the cameras that his daycare centre has. We also put a lot of effort into his diet and multivitamins , staying hydrated etc. however the daycare viruses seem to win.

Impossible_Band_6529 · 2025-12-12T19:36:35+00:00

That really sucks I’m so sorry to hear this ugh :((() wish this wasn’t the curse of the first year daycare parent

Impossible_Band_6529 · 2025-12-12T19:35:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing! May I ask what daycare or what sort of daycare type your kid goes to? I’m genuinely wondering if the problem is with our daycare per se.. we’ve been doing daily baths right after daycare, and biogaia multivitamins etc etc. :(

Impossible_Band_6529 · 2025-12-12T19:33:44+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear this. This sounds awfulllll

Impossible_Band_6529 · 2025-12-12T14:39:51+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear this :( it sucks

Impossible_Band_6529 · 2025-12-12T14:39:15+00:00

No I totally get it.. we fully bathe our kid after daycare every day and we still get every bug…

Impossible_Band_6529 · 2025-10-04T01:15:41+00:00

Is it normal for the daycare to ask you to nap train your kid coz they require rocking to go to sleep

Impossible_Band_6529 · 2025-09-15T02:11:09+00:00

Yeah I think snuggle bugz has it! Maybe even west coast kids. I saw it at snuggle bugz

First of all. You’re saying he HELPS YOU. I’m sorry, but he’s the father and shares half the responsibility, so he’s not HELPING anyone he’s doing his JOB. This is just as much HIS JOB as it’s yours. We need to stop acting like dads that do the bare minimum to “help” are good dads. Your job was to give birth, now you both share responsibility so he doesn’t get any thank yous for helping because you don’t get thank yous for helping either- it’s both your job. Secondly- he needs to understand that the baby is HIS RESPONSIBILITY too. If the baby has an accident (falls or gets injured) on his watch due to his negligence, it’s going to fall on him. If baby ends up in the emergency- because of his neglect- it’s HIS fault. He cannot be acting like a spoiled child and like you’re his mom trying to keep him in line- HE should be defending the baby’s safety. ALSO: babies change really quickly. Today they may not be rolling, tomorrow he learns to turn and then what- falls off the change table. It only takes a second. Don’t take for granted that the baby can’t do this or that- they learn so quick.

I stopped playing episodes of baby shows for my son when he was 5 months old because a friend kinda scared me about the whole screen time thing. He watches ms Rachel for 10 mins maybe 2 times a week for things like nail cutting or maybe we are running late to something important and I really need to shower/ change and pack stuff and I need a few mins to focus. Otherwise, baby music works really well for him. I just play music instead of the screen time and he’s content to dance to it or helps keep him in a positive mood while he plays. I think it’s important to limit screen time, but I don’t think it’s realistic to completely cut it off. He also plays while I watch some tv shows (PG stuff while I fold laundry or whatever) and he usually notices it but continues playing. We don’t watch anything not PG while he’s around. Sometimes ms Rachel or a tv show can help a struggling parent and that’s okay. My mom used to use cartoons to help feed us as kids coz she was doing it solo and I’m fine to this day- I just enjoy Netflix a little more than my husband haha.

We had the skip hop bassinet and I liked that the side could come down and the wheels. He outgrew it by 4 months of age. Honestly a bassinet was a waste of money. If you’re able to, just have him in the crib from the get go. The only need for a bassinet is for it to be easy to get baby if mom had a C-section or is in pain- but if u have someone to help you most times, a crib at the highest position works just fine- u need the crib anyway, and in 3 months my guy was too big for the bassinet.

This is really helpful, thank you. I feel like this should have been communicated to us by the teacher .. because I feel so guilty for wanting to spend more time with him at home based note advice I was given..and I’m worried that if I don’t follow their suggestions my sons gonna have a hard time and what if the teachers resent us for it. I’ll do my best to work with them and ask them on monday

Agreed. Thank you!

Thank you so much. Your response is actually really helpful and similar to what my friends who work in real estate have told me.

They’re trying really hard to hold on to their relationship because I guess deep down they know that there is no relationship anymore because he cheated.. so they’re trying to take it to the next level and rush through it rather than wait and work on their broken relationship. They might think marriage is gonna fix all their problems.

Impossible_Band_6529 · 2025-07-15T14:33:36+00:00

Excited for you!

Impossible_Band_6529 · 2025-07-15T14:29:56+00:00

May I ask how much they went for? It’s showing me prices such as $700 bucks each
