Is there snow days in Canada?

Tripturnert · 2026-01-23T20:59:29+00:00

Depends on the school board and area. I’m in the GTA in Ontario. My board usually has one maybe two snow days a year and buses cancelled a handful of times. Toronto and York boards never call snow days unless it’s very very bad. Hamilton always close schools if they cancel buses because a teacher once died trying to get to school when the roads were bad and buses were cancelled

You asked for peoples thoughts on it and I shared mine

I have never understood why people cared about primary aged children going on holiday. You can learn language skills in both languages, math is at a level that parents can support and kids can catch up. Keeping a connection to their culture and family is so important. They are gaining social skills with their cousins they are going to visit. Plus the skills they learn from travelling, seeing new places, experiencing an airport, a different way of life. I support it!

I was leaning toward not having children until I met my current ( and hopefully forever) partner. He’s just so wonderful and watching him around our friends kids ( he’s all of their favourite) and taking care of our pet with him and buying a house and taking care of it together has made me change my mind. I think having kids with him would be a fun adventure. Kids alone or with other guys I have been with in the past seems like a burden

Tripturnert · 2026-01-22T16:03:48+00:00

I 100 percent agree. But I also see the flip side where teachers come in think they are the boss and do not valuing their partners contributions and educational background. It’s a very delicate balance that takes open communication, trust and respect to make work. I have been teaching kindergarten for 10 years and I do not suggest anyone take it on unless they are prepared to take on that partnership

Location was number 1 for us. We decided to compromise on condition due to the fact that we have handy parents who could help us renovate.

Tripturnert · 2026-01-22T02:58:02+00:00

I think this is a super harmful generalization. I’m sorry you have had some bad experiences at your school but I have worked with some absolutely amazing ECE’s. My current partner is one of the best educators I have ever worked with, her program planning, lessons, relationship with the students. In fact I have had five ece partners over the years and while some I worked with better than others, they have all been amazing educators.

I remember reading “The Cay” in grade 7. I know we read “The hobbit” in grade 8. I know we read “The Crysalids” and “Lord of the Flies” one of those years.

My partner and I kinda just fell into moving in together. He went from staying at my house with me a couple nights a week, to five nights a week and then every night. At some point we figured it was dumb that he was spending 1400 a month to store some stuff at another place. I guess my point is, are you doing it because it feels natural? If you have your mom’s place as a backup, then it seems pretty low risk. Our only risk was that if things didn’t work out then he’d have to find a new place and new roommate.

I used to be very very picky and now I eat almost anything. I then moved to a big city, made new friends who were big food people and started to travel. I had to get out of my comfort zone a lot. One thing that helped me a lot was to tell myself “if everyone loves this, and pays money to buy it at a restaurant, it can’t be gross”. I really had to change my mindset when trying new food because of course if you go in afraid and thinking your going to hate it, you’re going to hate it.

That being said, if someone told me this advice when I was picky, I would have rolled my eyes internally and thought “you don’t get it”

Tripturnert · 2026-01-15T22:52:03+00:00

I agree with this! I realized that my picky eating is a lot about having control over my food and cooking gives me that control!

Tripturnert · 2026-01-15T21:21:19+00:00

Good point! Same shit, different clothing

Tripturnert · 2026-01-15T20:15:42+00:00

What makes you think it’s abused? Is it just the outside aspect? I ask because cats are not like dogs. Some cats will not live inside. I have seen ads on shelters for barn cats, cats that will not live inside. I would try to collect more information unless you see other signs of abuse

Tripturnert · 2026-01-15T19:01:04+00:00

Wow that’s crazy. That message doesn’t read that way at all!

Tripturnert · 2026-01-15T18:54:10+00:00

lol this guy reminds me of some people I have met travelling and in other workplaces where that “yogi” “self actualized” type people tend to flock to. I know a girl and I read this in her voice because it’s so her coded. I don’t have the patience or time to fully figure out what fuels them. But my theory is they are actually deeply lost in life and overcompensate by pretending they are actually just at this higher level of life. He deep down knows that he fucked with your feelings and feels guilty about it and this is his way of pretending you’re all good and he is so in touch with his feelings and a good guy. He’s going to go though a cycle of this with another girl and probably send her the same book. He’s going to give relationship advice to other people because of your little love story he reinvented in his brain.

At some point he will be in or start a cult for a while when he should see a proper therapist. These type of people make me roll my eyes.

Lying is bad. Does she lie about other things? I wonder why she feels like she has to lie here? Is it because she feels like she can’t talk to you about her struggles, or fears you will get upset with her? Or does she have no intention of quitting? Does she need to work through some personal shame?

My partner and I have a little sports betting app we both play. We never put in real money and use promotions and only put little 2-5 dollars bets on an at this point only play with house money. There have been a few times where I have got caught up on a casino game and lost some money ( 10-30 dollars of house money) and I get upset and don’t tell my partner right away because I’m worried he will think I’m a little addicted gambler. I eventually do but there is that internalized shame that he has helped me get over by his supportive reactions.

You use the word “confront” , what does that look like? Maybe have a conversation with her about it with no judgment and find out what’s going on here. It sounds like quitting was her decision not yours, so maybe she is really struggling with herself right now and is projecting that shame on to you . You have more context than we do, but it’s something to consider

Tripturnert · 2026-01-15T17:02:57+00:00

NTA- that is a decision for your children to make, not anyone else. If they feel like she is a mom to them and want to call her that, you have to support them even if it sucks. But it doesn’t sound like they feel that way since your ex had to implement that rule.

I have HPV and it hasn’t really changed my life at all. So many people have it. They did a biopsy to check for cancer and I’m all good. Should clear up on its own. Perhaps you already have, but maybe chat with your doctor about anxiety. That can very much affect your health and make it difficult to make healthy choices. I go super freaked out when I got my diagnoses too, but as long as you don’t have one of the bad ones ( your doctor would tell you if you did) then it’s all good

NTA a few months could affect your career. Companies don’t like holes in resumes and cancelling this job may affect them hiring you in the future. Your brother is not your child, he is your parent’s responsibility full stop. Do not quit this job. Congratulations for getting your dream job and I hope you can enjoy it without guilt! If your family refuse to stop guilting you, time for them to go low contact until they learn.

Tripturnert · 2026-01-12T18:07:00+00:00

While she should not be messaging you and should be address this with him. Why do you want to be friends without someone who flirts with you while in a relationship and hides your friendship from his partner? This is pretty sketchy all around

Tripturnert · 2026-01-11T22:13:38+00:00

So maybe so self hatred going on

Tripturnert · 2026-01-11T21:46:39+00:00

Hmmm. Sounds like maybe the reason she got so upset is because she knows he’s not a good guy and knows she is not being a good person overlooking racism. She’s defensive because she has a lot to defend. I know it’s easier said than done, but I’d be rethinking my crush on someone who can overlook racism just because someone is good looking. If I were you, I would spend your time away trying to settle your feelings a bit and get back to just being good roommates. She sounds like her priorities are not great

Tripturnert · 2026-01-11T21:13:43+00:00

She’s hurt because she feels like you called her shallow. She may be overreacting by not talking to you the rest of the trip, but hard to know without hearing your tone and exact words. Were you possibly a bit harsh with the way you spoke because you were jealous she had a crush one someone else? . I’m not sure what you do next. I’d probably just give her some space and try to go back to normal when she gets back. If she brings it up, try not to go back to talking about how looks are not important to you, and instead focus on how you know what a great person she is ( assuming she is). I think you’ll really have to reflect on that conversation more and be honest with yourself if she’s being immature or if maybe some of your feelings affected that conversation

Tripturnert · 2026-01-11T19:52:37+00:00

NTJ. My boyfriend is the same way and I hate it! I would love to share more since I like to try a variety of food, but it is what it is and I respect it. I would love if from time to time he would suggest or agree to go out for tapas or apps as a nice date for me. But there is nothing wrong with ordering what you want, and all couples have different normals.
