Hello, Has anyone done it? Do they recommend it? Any ideas how to find someone without going through a company? We moved to Burlington over the winter to a house with a pool so exploring our options. Both boys are 6 and 3, likely do separate lessons since they are so different in age and with covid ...

primary

There is a boy in class that has consistently been bullying few girls, yelling out lies about them and calling them bad names in front of the class, also fighting with other boys that stand up to defend them. A real trouble maker. There have been at least few incidents of throwing objects, causing h...

coverage

Couldnt find another post, and reddit is not too helpful. What is your level of orthodontist coverage? Mine has been $2000 per child for the 18 years I've been at this company. I feel like there should be some kind of cost of living index applied. It also appears alot of plans have no orthodontist c...

both

I thought I read on the service account only 1 parent has to do the 1 week EI delay when both parents are taking parental leave? Or did I misread that? I can't google anything up.

washroom

Hey everyone, Figured no sugar coating the question - I'm taking three kids (between 7 and 11) on a weekend camping trip to a provincial park. We won't know anyone else at the site. I picked a site close to the washrooms, water, etc. At some point(s) I'll need to use the washroom for a #2 and can't ...

belly

Hi all, I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to check my baby camera before falling asleep. Sure enough, my little guy was on his belly. The app said he’s been asleep for quite a while (45 minutes) I went into his room to flip him back onto his back. My wife and I are now terrified. He H...

engagement

My son is on the spectrum. Cooperation can be a challenge. We are painting our master. Dude did a phenominal job from 5’ down around our room helping me while the most important woman in both our lives was out. He did get tired and pulled the plug, but at 8 years old, he probably rocked 15’ of wall ...

Looking for recommendations for private Wheelchair accessible transportation for individuals for non-medical outings. Did a google search but most have minimal to no reviews and they all have similar sounding generic names. I'm aware of Mobility Plus w/ York Region Transit (YRT), but looking for an ...

I don't communicated with my 2 older siblings. I did at one time when my mom was alive (for her sake). When my mom past away, I stopped communicate with my siblings since they did me and my mom wrong. My husband was filled in on it.

For those of you who can secure the spot, do you guys immediately register the spot the first day when registration is available for a ...

martial arts

I know kids aren't going to take on an adult with superior martial arts skills, but which is most practical for a female child to develop fundamental self-defense skills? I see Taekwondo used often, but I just have this hunch that it isn't too practical. I would use Krav Maga personally.

Do the genes of 2 smart parents always produce a smart kid?
