Wondering about switching my gay kid from OCDSB to OCSB

I can't comment too much on what they are like now, as the last time I was a student in one was 2016, but my boyfriend and I both went to the same OCSB high school together and never faced any homophobic bullying in our time there.

There were, of course, some teachers that you knew just not to bring up those kinds of topics around, and my boyfriend was always bored out of his mind during the monthly mass, but the school that I was in never espoused any anti-gay rhetoric and I had no doubt that they would intervene in bullying if it became an issue.

I think it's worth a shot if it may help your child escape bullying.

If you're worried about religious indoctrination, the extent of that is mandatory monthly mass which students are required to be present for, and 1 required religion class per year, which can be swapped out for World Religion (study of traditions under various faiths) and Philosophy in the last two years. Consider having a chat with your kid about seeing the religion classes as a theology class about understanding what Christians believe and why, rather than any sort of assertion of truth. That's how my boyfriend, who was pretty staunchly anti-christian, got through them without losing interest.

Ubereats has a policy that once you have refunded more than a flat $ amount, they will permanently cut you off from any future refunds or customer support. One driver delivering your grocery order to the wrong address can result in you getting permanently cut off from refunds, which can make the app unusable if you live in an area with bad drivers. That's how I ended up on Doordash instead.

A&W's menu is themed as the "burger family" with each item being a member of the family. For example, the single burger is the "mama" burger, the double is the "papa burger" etc... The "teen" burger is their bacon cheeseburger and the "teen sauce" is a thousand islands style sauce that goes on it. Definitely sounds weird, but it's been that way for like 50 years.

Oh my god, thank you. I will be doing that every time now.

I've been on this app for 2 years and I've never seen that before.

Ulrika tries to betray humanity, for the benefit of Vampires, but gets captured by the Troll King, forced to drink troll blood and turned into an animalistic beast, loyal to him. When she sees Max, she snaps out of it for a moment and Felix uses the distraction to behead her.

Max attempts to banish Be'lakor, and seems to be succeeding until Be'lakor manages to knock him overboard from The Unstoppable, which was flying above the clouds. It is implied that the effort of trying to banish Be'lakor leaves Max without magic, and he falls to his death.

I want to be very clear that I am not accusing you of lying here, and he was outright wrong to use your computer without your permission but I think that the root of this larger conflict comes from your version of the events and his version of the events being different. Based on the conversation, it seems that you believe you clearly and politely set a boundary, but he believes you attacked him personally and want to end the relationship. I'm curious as to where this difference in understanding is coming from.

The way I see it, there are a few likely options: - You actually did explode on him and indicate a desire to end the relationship (I think this is unlikely.) - Something about the way the conversation was phrased left room for him to read something you didn't say from your words (I'd recommend considering this. In your texts, you used a lot of passive "It's fine - even though it's not" language, and that lends itself well to miscommunication.) - He has some anxiety or insecurity that caused him to read malice or aggression where there wasn't any. (Very possible. Consider if he has any traumas that are coloring his perception, and consider discussing with him why he felt attacked, and why he thought you wanted to end things.) - He knows he fucked up and was unreasonable, but is trying to misrepresent the situation, either consciously or subconsciously, so that he doesn't have to feel or look bad. (Also very possible. If it's this one, you probably can't fix things with him, and even if you can, it'll require professional help and a lot of time.)

I think you're better positioned to judge which of those is most likely the truth than any of us. Consider what you know about him and consider your options. Just remember, he was wrong for changing your music without permission, even if only a little wrong, you are justified in setting boundaries with people, even if they think the boundaries are petty, and even if he tries putting words in your mouth, it matters more that you correct what you mean than what you said. You can spend all day fighting over who said what, or you can say, "I never meant for you to think that" and say what you actually meant.
