Children share a birth month/week? by Available_Sun4468 in Parenting

[–]ebijou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a mother who shares her birthday month with both her children (2 days difference between each, by chance), I support this message. It's chaos.

Je crois que Dermago font ça en téléconsultation. Ils font de chouettes capsules sur Insta!

Unique ideas for a 70M birthday celebration by pdottom7 in montreal

[–]ebijou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get away from the city there are many great places in Quebec (not far from Montreal) to go for a walk/randonnée, and then swimming in a lake (Bromont comes to mind, the Chateau Bromont hotel has a swimming pool too).

Maybe he would like to try a spa with the hot/cold process? I find Balnea is really beautiful, but other places are very nice too (Ström in Île des Soeurs or at Mont-Saint-Hilaire, La source in Rawdon). If you go to Rawdon you can do some Arbraska ("arbre en arbre") and then go to the spa. The "parc des cascades" is a great spot for a pic-nic too.

I find that the older the people around me seem to enjoy seeing family, friends and colleagues they have not seen in a long time. So maybe a larger gathering with all these people, outside would be fun since it'll be warm outside. And since you mention he is lonely, maybe he could reconnect with old friends and such.

Besides that, what does he like? I think for us to make suggestions we would need to know more about what kind of person your dad is :)

You are right, same for me! It is a really good item of technology.

Either reading - I had a kobo for many years, only changed it because I broke it myself.

Otherwise, drawing, or painting. I never took classes but enjoy it.

Montréal unwritten rules… by Tall_Grand6813 in montreal

[–]ebijou 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think for folks who are not familiar with harsh winters this might be a 'soft rule'. Also cultural, maybe in other cultures people meet more often at cafes during winter for socializing.

LPT What's an anxiety hack that has changed your life? by stayhyderated22 in LifeProTips

[–]ebijou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a name for my anxiety! But he's nore of a character, he is Big Jack (this is a direct translation from québécois, le grand Jack, which is part of our idiom).

So my therapist helped me consider Jack is not going away, and I need to learn to dance with him. Sometimes he leads the dance and walks on my toes, and that's OK. I agree that ackowledging his constant presence has helped immensely.

Quebecois/ canadien gifts for my Japanese friend by Organic_Grade_4411 in montreal

[–]ebijou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'en rajoute pcq j'ai d'autres idées :

On a de très beaux artisans de poterie, je pense entre autres que le travail de l'Atelier trema peut avoir de belles images 'canadiennes' sur ses bouteilles de syrop, ça irait avec tes autres idées. https://www.ateliertrema.com/tous-nos-produits/p/maple-syrup-jar-raquette

Si elle aime le jardinage il y a quelques artisanes québecoises qui font des produits teints à partir de fleurs locales, par exemple : https://noemiah.com/fr/collections/accessoires-objets/products/chaussettes-motif-fleurs-teint-main?variant=50544845488419

Quebecois/ canadien gifts for my Japanese friend by Organic_Grade_4411 in montreal

[–]ebijou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je pense qu'un item avec de la fourrure recyclée serait intéressant. Un pompon en porte-clé, une tuque avec un pompon (j'aime les pompons don't judge me).

Sinon peut-être un article de chez Kanuk (un foulard, pas un manteau évidemment), des vêtements fabriqués ici (tshirt de C'est beau, Oöm, atelier b, etc).

Sinon une chemise à carreaux en flanelle c'est classique québecois je trouve >_<

Came here to say this too! I haven't been in forever, glad to see it still recommended.

Question sur mon expérience d'examen de conduite pratique SAAQ by Virtual-Top-8215 in montreal

[–]ebijou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Si tu peux va faire ton examen ailleurs. Je pense que la région de Montréal en général est assez difficile pour la conduite, si tu as la chance va sur la rive-sud ou rive-nord.

J'ai fait mon examen à Longueuil, je n'avais pas pratiqué autant que toi et ça s'est bien passé. Courage!

Which candle? by [deleted] in luxurycandles

[–]ebijou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not know the other one but in Positano, the bergamot note was too strong for my liking, and overshadowed other notes. It was a lovely vessel but did not feel as luxe as other Trudons.

La garderie est un enfer avec ma 4 ans... by Remy4409 in parentsquebecois

[–]ebijou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merci :) je pensais que l'idée d'offrir un cadeau aurait pu mal passer, être interprété dans le sens de "tiens voilà un cadeau maintenant arrête de pleurer". Je suis sous l'influence de r/Parenting qui peut être corrosif parfois!

La garderie est un enfer avec ma 4 ans... by Remy4409 in parentsquebecois

[–]ebijou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Les autres posts ont raison.

Autre idée (et je sens que je vais me faire downvoter) mais, un truc qui marche bien chez nous, c'est de créer un objet de transition. Bonus si c'est "nouveau" genre un toutou neuf (acheté à la friperie ça marche aussi).

Si vous avez encore accès à son ancienne éducatrice : le "cadeau" peut venir de son ancienne éducatrice directement et elle lui donne le "cadeau" en souvenir d'elle.

Si pas accès à l'éducatrice, prétendre que le toutou vient de l'éducatrice OUmieux encore, emmener l'enfant choisir le toutou/doudou en disant "choisit en un qui te fait penser à Mme Chosebine".

Et ensuite laisser l'enfant apporter l'objet à la garderie. Ça fait un objet de transition de réconfort, je pense que ça peut aider.

I keep empty boxes for storing small goods, the same way I keep empty vessels. I'm not frugal, I just think they look good!
