Need to leave for Canada in roughly a month because of US visa expiry but worried about potential travel restrictions in Canada given the bad covid situation. Are there any provinces that are not as hard hit by covid? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I and my boyfriend have been dating over a year now. Our relationship in general is pretty smooth and sweet. The only problem is he has not come out to his parents yet. It was not an issue before the pandemic thing since we were just living in the city, being in our own bubble. But Covid happened and he moved back to stay with his dad. Since he is not out, he can’t pick up the phone call whenever I call him, he can’t tell his parents he is dating someone in the city. Cont.

What are your thoughts on someone trying to build wealth off of their grandparent because their own parents were incapable and both grandparents had to step in financial and were forced to pickup the slack.

The grandchild wants to leave her apt to live rent free with her grandma and buy multi unit home and go to med school. Is this normal?

I have been dealing with gestational hypertension and wrote my own coverage plan pending my manager’s approval. Now he is canceling 1:1’s with my right and left and has yet to give his formal approval or disapproval of the plan.

Moms with children in daycare:

My son just turned one a few months ago and moved into the toddler class with other 1-2 year olds.

I knew this age would mean lots of bruises as he navigates walking and actually playing and engaging with other kids. But it seems like every week he has another bruise. Honestly more like every other day. Arms, legs, head, and even back.

Well, today he came home with a full on bite mark where I can clearly see the top and bottom teeth outline.

My question(Cont)
