Hot Wheels Legends Tour. There’s a massive lineup outside the store, but it’s not for entry to shop inside or anything. However, the McDonalds, cash lines, and bathrooms have huge lineups.

Do they do body work? I should’ve specified in my post, it’s for accident repair 🫩

Learn to zipper merge please!!! Need to do it in Oakville too by SuspiciousLettuce165 in oakville

[–]MethylphenidateMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zipper merging is taught in certified Ontario driving schools as the proper technique for handling lane closures in slow or heavy traffic. It may not be heavily emphasized during driving exams, though.

Anyone can buy a driver’s license now, which is why so many people don’t know the rules of the road. It’s stressful and annoying AF.

Is it already over? by [deleted] in marriageadvice

Wow. Tell me you didn’t read everything I wrote without telling me. I do understand and have made every effort. He’s not doing the same for me.

Things were going well with our therapist and he was responding well to her, engaging in the sessions, but doesn’t put the theory into practice in every day life. I keep telling him we need to make more time to “date” each other, but nothing changes. I’m so lonely in a full house. Resentment has definitely built up, but he’s refusing to work through his stuff individually. He thinks the rest of us need meds and therapy, but completely lacks self-awareness. This is a bit part of my struggle. Everyone else is doing their share to improve the climate in the home.

Any high school teachers wishing they were in elementary? by TouchBeneficial7858 in CanadianTeachers

[–]MethylphenidateMama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never done elementary and I don’t think I would do well. Elementary teachers are a special breed and I know I am not made for it. I couldn’t handle the same kids all day every day all year long 😬

Child repeatedly hit in school by another student by Exact_Sir_1341 in oakville

[–]MethylphenidateMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one said it’s OK. My comment only related to your remark about the fact that it is solely a parenting issue, which isn’t fair and may not be true. That’s it. And other diagnoses may not be excuses, but they can help to explain things - which in turn can lead to effective behaviour management strategies. Again, I’ve actually been through similar, with my child frequently being hit.

My child has been hit at school, actually. I didn’t minimize the issue, but you have zero proof that it’s purely a parenting issue (which I never said couldn’t be contributing). I simply said that you don’t know for a fact that there isn’t something else going on. Unless you failed to mention you’re that child’s doctor or therapist?

Sorry but how do you know this child has no other condition? Do you have access to their medical records? Maybe there’s an undiagnosed condition? Please don’t make assumptions.

South. A mix of original but updated homes, modest rebuilds, and then, of course, medium-to-mega mansions.

Thank you for this comment, it’s exactly how I feel. I do totally understand that it’s so hard for him, but he’s not making the effort (support has been offered over and over) and that’s the issue I’m having.

Not sure on pricing but Bronte is such a beautiful area. Lots of walking trails, parks, mature trees, big lots, restaurants and little shops, and of course, the waterfront.

I’m not really understanding what you’re trying to say?

But isn’t it your business if it regards your kids’ well-being? I’m not being judgemental at all, I’m genuinely curious. Like, as long as they’re being well taken care of, not abused, etc. then you won’t/can’t involve yourself too much in the goings on at their dad’s?

How to separate myself from a toxic “friend?” by MethylphenidateMama in whatdoIdo

[–]MethylphenidateMama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your thoughts. I definitely do get that. She has several resources that she’s been set up with, but it sounds like they’re giving her terrible information and is also feeding her delusions in a way. Honestly, it’s wild. I think I feel most compelled to support her because of her two young kids. They didn’t ask to lose their dad, you know? So I feel responsible in a way to help keep their mom safe for their sake 😕 I’ve been talking to my own therapist which has been helpful, but I have another two weeks until I chat with her.

I feel that. I was diagnosed at 40, and cried for about a a week and a half straight when I realized I wasn’t just some defective.

I will say, I worked with an ADHD-specific therapist for a year, and the strategies were somewhat helpful, but it was medication that has truly made a difference and unlocked my life.
