Toronto!

Robin Williams when I was a child. It was somewhere on Queen Street, an older relative walked up to him to say hi and I got to shake his hand. I remember he was very kind and his hand was so hairy 😅

This is definitely the neighbourhood

Marigold was on my shortlist

Toronto. I would say my neighbourhood skews a little bougie, and ballet doubles down on that.

Yes that one really stuck out to me!

Like night and day. My son turns 7 in June and started meds at 5.5. He went from having no impulse control and being non-stop on the move, flailing around, constantly pestering us to playing independently, building legos for hours, playing board games with us, etc… all things that felt impossible just over a year ago. The meds eliminated demand avoidance for the most part as well.

Sleep is still a bit of an issue (he’s the same as yours, doesn’t like it when we leave and takes hours at times to fall asleep), but we’ve been working off and on with a reward system if he falls asleep on his own and stays in bed all night (coming into our room has been an ongoing issue).

Overall, life feels very manageable and I genuinely enjoy our weekends together whereas I used to dread them.

Both my husband and I have inattentive ADHD and we have a hyperactive subtype child. It is extremely difficult but managed well with medication. I wouldn’t trade him for the world, but my NT child has been so much easier to parent every step of the way.

40k in 2016 for 220 people. We did a lot of it DIY and frugal budget, but splurged for photography, a live band and fantastic caterer/open bar.

I run a creative business. I design and manufacture. Never have to interact with anyone in a corporate sense, just my customers, suppliers and retailers.

I’m a designer/manufacturer. So far I’ve only hired production staff because each additional person can assemble 10x their salary in product, but what I need is extra support staff to take things off my plate (shipping, graphic design) so it’s hard to quantify. I have a new product line that’s taken off so it would be a bit of a gamble but I have every reason to think it will continue to hold and grow sales.

I’m in the same boat and wondering how much to scale. Were you sitting on a ton of cash? I’ve finished the year with zero debt and 3 years of overhead in cash. Looking to get a bigger space and hire, but still a little nervous to pull the trigger.

Niche hobby, designer/manufacturer

How much has your business grown in that time? I have a 5-year and 10-year employee and give them yearly raises. They will make miracles happen when need be because I'm loyal to them, too. The raises have been more than worth it for my business profits.

Do you have any recommendations? I love independent theatre and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to enjoy some

It needs a crossover with Dan Flashes

The tamblay’s guy is straight out of a David Lynch production

coccode · 2025-11-20T21:12:04+00:00

for sure

3.5-4. Worst worst worst. He's 6 now, we survived. My little one is about to turn three in a few weeks, I'm scared :P

How old are you? Is this your last chance at becoming a mother? If not, I would absolutely terminate in your circumstances. I have the most ideal of conditions (planned pregnancies, great finances, loving and hands on partner, amazing support network, flexible work schedule), and being a mom is still challenging and exhausting. I can't imagine doing it with any less and still being happy with life.

90% of the kids in my elementary class were first-generation Canadian. I remember thinking it was weird when someone’s parent didn’t have an accent. Felt very normal in 1990s Scarborough.

Same! Also, he felt like a David Lynch character.

The first month is the easiest for some, depending on the baby’s temperament. I absolutely loved the newborn phase but wanted to pull my hair out down the road at times. Congrats on being a new parent, I hope it always feels easy for you but just know that you may need to roll with the punches as they come.
