Haven’t seen it, but yesterday I saw a mom absolutely losing her shit with her maybe 4 or 5 year old at the botanical garden. One of the rare moments I’ve seen parents lose the sing songy “I’m so zen” voice act in public and just let it out. Happened the other day at nursery drop off too- I heard a dad getting out of his car who clearly didn’t think any one was around speaking sharply to his kid. He saw me and his tone changed. To both of them wanted to say “been there!” I don’t know when talking sternly to your kid in public became verboten, but I miss those days and can’t stand how parents seem to have to now constantly talk to their kids in a sugary sweet gentle way in public at all times. Wish we could all just drop the act. /rant over

New to Toronto, moved to the west end of town/ just past - in Etobicoke. I celebrate my 40th a few days after NYE/NYD - would love some recommendations on moderately priced but nice ambiance restaurants for myself + husband, and my extended family. Everyone is scattered throughout (Hamilton, Barrie, Lyle, Newmarket, North York). Don’t want anything too fancy but don’t really know where or what is good and not downtown.


Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?

Do you think our anxiety or tension is because we have not been able to conceive?

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.

I've been an individual contributor for 4 years in Tech, have 8 years of experience total. I'm finding it difficult to make the management transition despite having management experience, performing beyond expectations, and having a genuine passion for enablement and development.

I'd appreciate any success stories or pointers you can offer in regards to this transition.
