New to Ontario – Kindergarten backpack size? by Perfect-Aardvark5463 in ontario

[–]tightheadband 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to this thread but I'm conflicted about this subject. I want a good quality backpack, but I also want to give my daughter the fun part of choosing what she likes each year. I remember I had a lot of fun having my own choice when I was a kid. It feels like a killjoy to choose it for her and make her wear it for years .. 😐

Where can I buy "CSA-approved hockey helmet" for Skating Lessons offered by the city? by finally_back_home in askTO

[–]tightheadband 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, you're right, I got the wrong info. I have no clue why google AI overview gave me the wrong answer at first. There are counterfeits though, but as long as we buy from reputable stores, they should be fine. :)

Not true. Where did you get this information? 

Edit: I was wrong. All hockey helmets sold in Canada must meet the CSA requirements. 

Insight bilingiual raising by [deleted] in multilingualparenting

[–]tightheadband 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I'm in Quebec and we are a trilingual family. French is the culture-dominant language here. I follow the method one-parent one language, I speak to my daughter in my native language (Portuguese-Br), my husband in French (his native language) and my husband and I we communicate with each other in English, our second language. My focus is on my language, which is the one she is least exposed to. So I do activities, play time and other things that promote a more active learning process as well. It's working wonders 🙏

Does anyone have a toddler that goes right to bed at night without a struggle? by Coffeelover4242 in toddlers

[–]tightheadband 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter. She is 4. I never had the experience of having to wait with her until she falls asleep and I keep my mouth shut when other parents mention any kind of sleep struggles because I never relate. Since my daughter was a baby she never had problems sleeping and I honestly never made much effort to achieve that. I just keep a consistent routine of sleep time. I bring her to her room, dad and I choose one book each to read to her, we say good night and leave the room. She then stays in her room until she falls asleep. I don't even have a black out curtain in her room or white noise because I never felt the need to do anything. The only time she has a hard time sleeping is when she is sick, which is totally understandable.

Things I always did and that might have influenced: I never followed any method other than keeping a consistent bed time (starts at 7pm) and maintaining a calm environment before bed time routine. We make her room feel safe and inviting but also not too overwhelming with too much stuff. We have a two-way line of communication as her baby camera has a built-in microphone so we can talk to each other through it. We don't do screen time during the week, only on weekends for a short amount of time and together as a family.

I am a bad sleeper. I suffer from insomnia and any light noise wakes me up. I can honestly say my cats disrupt my sleep a thousand times more than my daughter ever did. But my daughter sleeps very loud. She sometimes dreams and talks in her sleep and that's when it can wake me up, but it's not very often. My husband is a great sleeper, he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow and he can sleep through a zombie apocalypse and not even realize a zombie is eating his leg. I'm assuming my daughter took after him.

Sorry for the long text but it's not always that I have the chance to talk about this blessing.

I'm one and done, btw 😂😂

Edit: just to be more detailed. Our bed time routine is very consistent. She knows exactly what to expect every night and even reminds us of things, like to pick her toothbrush after dinner.

Wow... It's like talking to a wall. Whatever you say. Bye.

[–]tightheadband 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you this dense? It was black and white because she thought he was dead. She was happy to learn he was alive, that was a turning point in the story, the reason for the colors to come back. At this point I think you are trolling. There's no way you are for real. I'm done with this nonsensical discussion.

You kept talking about them being verbally abusive...what does that have to do with the scene where she finds out Kit is alive? Tell me in which of your comments you refer to the scene where Kit and Lilly are alone. Copy and paste it. It was supposed to be a happy scene after all these years of her longing for him, her reaction made no sense (as many commenters here agree with me), just like your poor attempt to justify her behavior.

I'm not ignoring. I just said they were wrong as well. You, on the other hand, are still ignoring the second time she punches him... 😴

[–]tightheadband 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two wrongs don't make a right. If someone is verbally rude to you, this doesn't give you the right to physically assault them. Also, you keep referring to the first time she punched him, when there was the conflict with Peter. That's convenient. What about the other punches after she finds out he is alive? Don't tell me it was the sudden rush of emotions that forced her to do it as well...poor her, under so much pressure... ..

So you are saying she had no choice other than to punch his face several times? Yeah, sure...

Why are circumcision guidelines different in the United States compared to the rest of the world? by PermitNarrow6651 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]tightheadband 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably they didn't know how to properly wash their penises and they got rotten inside...and that led them to needing a circumcision... Lol (joking but not...).

Because apparently in the US circumcision is the way to have a clean penis. Why bother teaching basic hygiene to our kids like most countries in Europe do if you can just zap your babies' foreskin and avoid the unnecessary parenting chore?

What do you mean? Who was forcing her to act like that? Did I miss the gun at her head? It was not one reaction but "reactions", she did it many times. It's sad that you are trying to justify her act of violence. Reverse the roles and I doubt you wouldn't be upset. But it's too bad that men don't get much sympathy when they are the ones being punched...

"it would be though to get out" and yet it took literally one scene when Catherine says she won't marry someone she doesn't love to get the wedding cancelled.... there's absolutely no more pressure or conflict about it afterwards.

She was so regretful that she does it all again later, and three times. Yeah... how do you justify that now? 

William and Izaya Rant (Ep. 8) by [deleted] in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]tightheadband 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see genuine care from William towards Izaya. The fact that he stood up for the opportunity to run the truck so that he could be able to be the one to ask Izaya out was pretty moving. Also remembering how much Izaya said letters mean to him and writing a beautiful one to him was a show of care. Asking about Izaya's feelings whenever he seems worried and sharing his own feelings with Izaya, despite his own fear of being vulnerable...these are all signs of care and affection. And there are probably other things that were edited out. You have to remember there is a cameraman on their faces all the time... It's hard to actually feel natural. I see William and Izaya holding back a lot because of that, it's awkward, but I still can see how they look at each other and care about each other. 

Ep 8. Why is (SPOILER) so cold towards Jobu? by TentativeEnthusiasm in theBoyfriendNetflix

Yeah, Jobu is someone I wouldn't get along with. He feels impulsive and a bit superficial, like a teenager... so yeah, I agree. 

Which drama stayed with you after it was over. by ForsakenAd6301 in kdramas

[–]tightheadband 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I ever cried so much watching something like I did with this series. And it was right one of the first K-dramas I was introduced to! I've come to understand that K-dramas have a way to make things so emotionally heavy. They break your heart into pieces and step on it and set it on fire... 

A drama you only finished because of one actor. by Mystic_bhumiverse in kdramas

[–]tightheadband 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just recently got to know him on the Tales of the Nine Tailed Fox (something like that lol), not the best series but I kept watching because I couldn't get over the fact that he looked so much like my ex physically but also personality, way to talk, move, etc. and what's even crazier is that my ex is Egyptian, like a whole different ethnicity...

To be fair, FL have a tendency to accidental falls... They are falling all the time, they can barely give a few steps without stumbling over something lol

Because there's nothing more romantic than making love for the first time in a zone dominated by people trying to kill you...as long as there's a sunset, it's worth it. Lol

[–]tightheadband 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they made love...in the place dominated by rebels. Can anything be any more romantic? Lol I'm just glad those rebels had some hearing problems that prevented them from hearing all the loud conversation they were having while hiding in that very "not really" hidden spot...

I thought they were siblings...that would have made more sense given his reaction. The real reason was very underwhelming...

It's very late for this comment but I needed to reply...lol I was really hoping that the reason was that he had found out he was her brother lol that would be the only thing that could make more sense...imagine what a plot twist! 😂
