We have always read to the kids at bedtime, but with 10, when he outgrew us reading to him, he wanted a different bedtime activity. This turned into watching one particular show, but when there aren&#39;t new episodes, then he wants to do something else. It just kind of grew into a monster until I recently put my foot down. He can do a quiet activity before bed, and we will tell him when it&#39;s time to brush and change, then we&#39;ll tuck him in. <br/>A lot of it has to do with him just wanting to do something with a parent, which is mostly ok, except that it got out of hand. 2025-09-14T16:35:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst446ax42awfqmx0zlrp0ul4uaqs6dhthc8cjpm7tf0rmfzua07gczyrxpse0weu8ejj7psjpjrsgky6qunsj9lhklnkptxq024ljrkzaywdx2ytf All I wanted to do was chill with a podcast and a jigsaw puzzle.

Then again, they have moved rightward over the 20 years I&#39;ve known them. It&#39;s kind of sad. I generally get along with them, but occasionally my MIL will throw barbs out about &#34;my&#34; boy, Trudeau. I am not very partisan, and have been largely politics-averse for the past few years, so not sure where she gets that. And they have strong opinions about the public servants they used to see when they worked downtown. 2024-10-02T17:43:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspv0y64hq4wjnu0wxfqqykrr607raqnw33qqesfgkra8w2ekvl3qgzyrxpse0weu8ejj7psjpjrsgky6qunsj9lhklnkptxq024ljrkzaywp59w23 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdn9ufrtpaxy3c4jle9dn02mgyey3a2eqyjnfrgvhc9qv24uljz8q7m97fm'>nevent1q…97fm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Menace to society! 2024-09-20T17:31:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp8hk3azyjvd952glwq2el35x6gzhs9q265wvqh3yq359yzkf6s2gzyrxpse0weu8ejj7psjpjrsgky6qunsj9lhklnkptxq024ljrkzaywfmf2yr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0m5ylx0fd7vwjzfnkjf876ygxj6hhdre9cax7qe6qzsfw5nqqejcvpeqfl'>nevent1q…eqfl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>WTF! 2024-09-20T17:30:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxc8tpt5zsjn6ydfq8q6pwgnw5ku5qk4tr0kvn5ud0vn3up4unyagzyrxpse0weu8ejj7psjpjrsgky6qunsj9lhklnkptxq024ljrkzaywluqffy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsff67l76eq7duxltqtapme7h65tu9g6q534msy3tkcc0e6gw08t2cfzafqt'>nevent1q…afqt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Haha, c’est raisonnable.

I later realized that it&#39;s usually because those are the firms where people are likely to never leave their office, and have rumours of junior associates sleeping in their offices.

I don&#39;t like sleeping so much. I like feeling productive, but I just don&#39;t have the energy. Even with max doses of stimulants. I&#39;ve been reminiscing a lot of summers I had as a kid - which were incredibly boring as a kid, but which I truly miss now. Both parents were educators and had the summer off, so summers were amazingly lazy for me, if not also lonely. I miss the quiet outdoors and long summer days. 2024-08-07T20:28:35Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspxqll3849w95lsg9p2h0xreelpnyz8pkgyehxmawwp89w5nawzeszyrxpse0weu8ejj7psjpjrsgky6qunsj9lhklnkptxq024ljrkzayw8nqp8j Taking the week off, with the goal of resting, but also catching up on some things around the house. I wish I weren&#39;t so tired and burnt out! I&#39;m still fighting with myself about whether I should be purging and decluttering, or just crocheting or doing nothing at all.

I have seen a lot as a family lawyer, and there is no simple answer. I think a lot of people get pressured into marriage by family, and society (just look at all the magazines, and the expectation that an engagement ring should be, what, 1x or 2x months&#39; salary!) Or they fear being alone, being an &#34;old cat lady&#34;. I remember the sadness of being alone for a long time.
