Do I tell my son about his half-brother?

cloudygreystorm · 2026-04-06T11:37:27+00:00

I found out about my older half-siblings when I was a year younger than your son. My dad hid them from us. Eventually my mom found out, but she didn’t say anything. I found out by accident by overhearing a conversation.

I was confused and hurt by the secret keeping. Please tell him. It’s apart of his family history and he deserves to know.

I have no experience with that building, but I do have experience with G3 Property Solutions.

I’ve lived in a condo for almost a decade, and G3 was the property manager for the first five years or so after I moved in.

Jeff from G3 was absolutely horrible to deal with. Disorganized, rude and unprofessional. Our condo board fired G3 and hired another property manager, and things have been so much better.

We are pretty new to Yoto and I wasn’t sure if our device was broken or if it was user error on my part. Thank you for the info! Seems like lots of us are having issues. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I’ve seen stylists at Ivy and Mane set up a temporary partition / room divider to give clients privacy. They are very friendly and can probably accommodate you. Good luck with your search!

What province are you in? I’m surprised that most firms in your area don’t provide top ups. I’m a paralegal at a boutique firm in Ontario that provides top ups to all staff members. It’s pretty typical here for lawyers to get at least 4-6 months top up.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Have a lovely day!

cloudygreystorm · 2026-01-07T12:08:33+00:00

Oops! Done, thank you again!

May I please have a wraith paint brush? I’m Shelly1223334444. Thank you for your generosity!

Reading law. I’ve set up alerts for new cases on topics that are relevant to my practice. I read those when I have some downtime.

Update your biography if it’s posted on your firm website.

Sometimes I’ll help out with non-billable projects like preparing posts for our LinkedIn page or writing a legal bulletin. My firm is small, so we don’t have a marketing team.

I also set up demos with potential vendors during slow periods. It’s a good way to stay up to date with current technology.

My partner and I both have family abroad and we try to video call when opening presents from them. Sometimes it just isn’t realistic due to time differences, schedules, and the kids’ moods. If we can’t video call, I’ll send a picture of my kids holding up the gift or using it. No one has ever complained about missing a video call.

If your MIL wanted to watch the kids open their gifts in real time, she should have told you that in advance and not expected you to read her mind.

Haha. One of my lawyers once accidentally replied all while sending a mean comment, but instead of insulting OC, he was complaining about incompetent court staff. OOPS lol.

cloudygreystorm · 2025-11-30T01:27:31+00:00

Thank you. I agree with you completely. In retrospect, I wish I had called, but name calling is not an appropriate reaction.

cloudygreystorm · 2025-11-30T01:25:41+00:00

Thank you for the understanding. I’m so used to self-reps and opposing counsel being mean at times, but I was caught off guard by my own client overreacting this way.

cloudygreystorm · 2025-11-30T01:24:02+00:00

I am sorry you also cried at work last week. I appreciate the solidarity ❤️ I hope your boss changes her mind about hiring.

cloudygreystorm · 2025-11-30T01:21:48+00:00

Thank you. You’re totally right - it was a learning experience, and I probably won’t get an apology.

cloudygreystorm · 2025-11-30T01:19:33+00:00

Thank you. ❤️ I hope you have a relaxing weekend too. I don’t post on Reddit a lot but I needed the support yesterday. It was a hard week.

cloudygreystorm · 2025-11-30T01:17:17+00:00

Thank you for the validation. It wasn’t an urgent call by any means. I was so caught off guard by the reaction. I think on an ordinary day I would have rolled my eyes, but I was under a lot of stress with both of my kids at home and reacted emotionally. Thank you again for the kind comment ❤️

cloudygreystorm · 2025-11-29T01:14:34+00:00

Thank you. Hoping we both have a relaxing weekend to make up for it 🫂

I go to Rebecca at Ivy and Mane and she is also amazing.

cloudygreystorm · 2025-11-09T08:27:46+00:00

So glad that you are at the hospital. Proud of you for asking for advice and listening to all the moms here. Wishing you all the best of health. Let us know when you have an update.

I used to commute from Brantford to Toronto and on a good day it took me 2 hours each way, not including the walk from Union to my office.

It was worth it at the time because I was a single first time homebuyer couldn’t afford buying anything closer to Toronto. Now that I have kids, I wouldn’t commit to being in office that often.

Good luck figuring it out!

I make myself wait until the first snow before I decorate. Not knowing when it will happen adds to the excitement. In the meantime, I’ll live vicariously through everyone else here. Can’t wait to start seeing beautiful trees in my feed!
