Re: Back 20 months and just starting to struggle.

Totally agree with this part. It's very easy to strike up conversations with other parents of young children. Everyone is eager to talk about how their child eats, sleeps, what sports they play,...

Re: Annual Leave in Canada

It's been good to hear other people's experiences. If my employer does not allow me to take a career break then I will most likely resign and stay at home with the little ones. I can always apply for...

Wow. That's brilliant. Your wife is very fortunate to have that flexibility at work. Wish it was the same in Ontario.

Re: Annual Leave in Canada

Very true what Tony the Tigger said about it being laughable when people claim Canada is so laid back and family orientated. Hubby and I emigrated to Ontario 10 years ago. At first I enjoyed the...

Re: Good Hairdresser Wanted

Thanks for the tip Souvenir - may just pay the Bee Hive a visit.

Re: I have been robbed

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear you were a victim of crime. I understand how you must be feeling. It's horrible that some scroate had the gall to do that to you and your family.

However, if this had...
