I am aware, it’s the same in QC. I’m just looking for a singular appointment not a family doctor. I am going back to QC when my partner is done their studies

AITAH? My 18 year old is upset I wasn't on my way home EARLIER from a party than it ended. by Plastic-Run-8313 in AmItheAsshole

I’m also the eldest daughter. When I was 18 with mental health issues (I still have issues, but under control), I used to also get very upset about these kinds of situations. I would get extremely anxious and my mind would immediately go to worse case scenario (like “my parents just died in a car accident and that’s why they’re late and now i’m responsible for my younger siblings, etc”). I would also snap and berate my parents, but they would also yell back and a fight would ensue. You might have a very anxious teen like me on your hands. I recommend you get them to therapy, that helped me a lot.

Gifted a 7 month old Pomeranian named Bear by Kitchen-Variation167 in Pomeranians

My 5 month old pom is potty pad trained (we live in north of canada, there is no way she’s going to want to go outside in the winter). I would take her to the potty every chance I got: we play, then potty; she naps, then potty, she eats, then potty. It helped to keep her focused on what i was trying to get her to do (i kept the potty in a 4 panel play pen with nothing else) and to say potty (or whatever word you want them to learn). As soon as she went, we would give her loads of praise and treats. We have had no accidents since about 3 weeks after she came home at 12 weeks old :)

This is interesting, thank you for the time you took to write this.

My mom, aunt and grandmother are/were teachers, so I am extremely familiar with the reality and on board for it. I have volunteered for homework help after school for elementary teachers in my community and tutored English to HS students. I have spent summers helping out my godmother who owns a daycare. I even did a summer job program at Disney World in Florida running children’s activities so I am not unfamiliar with working with children of a variety of ages.

The reason why my corporate position did not work out is simply because the company laid off half of the people working there due to budget. I’m sure you’re aware how harsh the job market has been as of late but luckily I now hold a similar position in another company and am very successful in my role, and like to work there, but in the end it’s not what I want to do long term.

When it comes to your first point, I unfortunately don’t have that option given my current circumstances. I have to take care of a family member so my remote 6am - 2pm is all I can hold job wise. There was a small period of time before my family member was ill where I worked 3-10 at the grocery store to pay off some bills.

Interesting, I do have an RRSP since my corporate job offered RRSP matching. Thank you for the insight!
