Parenting advice? Listen to your kids when they tell you theyβre unhappy. Help them understand why and donβt diminish their problems or make backhanded/passive-aggressive comments. Then they wonβt turn into damaged adults who raised themselves in a vacuum created my emotionally immature parents ππΌ

I forgot to turn mine off. π³

Coffee in bed this morning after a much needed sleep-in. It's going to be a restful day I think.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
You too. Cheers as I sip in my Dark and stormy!
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh good. Both safely delivered thanks. You deal with it when it happens. Until then you enjoy him being around as much as you can.

@valpmb.bsky.social you get your boy off to school ok? π«
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Haha. It'd have been rude not to make the most of the opportunity π

Were you a boy racer? π
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
lol. Get a few more years out of it. A friend of mine had an MG. Absolute terror on the motorway π

We both look at the cheese plate like that, not so much at each other unless they're holding the cheese plate π

I've promised curry for tonight but it's definitely a possibility for tomorrow or Monday
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
It's tempting to just dip some baguette in it and keep on tasting!
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Hiya! Curry night tonight!
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social)
First batch of home grown roasted tomato and garlic sauce complete.

lol. Husband is dropping the oldest at SMU tomorrow. I get the St FX trip
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
New car?
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
That's exactly it. I feel like it gives both the structure and freedom to make something look pretty.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe I'll see if I can get it here. I'm just watching the last season of Last Tango in Halifax.

I've been contemplating getting one of these because I have a couple of tees that have new holes every time I look at them
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
I read that as poop π

Wild!

I know what you mean - I've not bought anything off eBay since about 2007 π
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
We went for fish and chips now I'm having a GoGo juice!
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah. Temporary though. One of them will be back on Thursday for work π

Family day tomorrow and then on Sunday the boys are returning to their places of study. π

Well that's the laptop turned off until Tuesday.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
That was such a good program
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
That was my reaction too
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social)
I opened Pinterest and this was on the front page. Seriously- wtaf? 'Fat face haircuts'?

Thank goodness π

That's worse than mice eating the granola bar in my son's hockey bag π
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
So many possible variations! Cranberry sounds good.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Yum. I did something very similar with apples and blackberries. So good!
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
You are the best! Ok - let's go!!!

How safe is buying stuff off eBay? I've found a pair of earrings I've been searching for FOREVER. Just a lil bit cautious
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social)
Seriously
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
It's too much like hard work π
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Jeez can you imagine π

Miss Anderton (first primary school teacher) styled her hair like that. I thought that's how I would have to style my hair when I grew up. I later learned that fashions change π
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
If he could have held off until 2 he could've chatted with Rudi who also had things to say.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
You do? I do too.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
That's my least favourite of those ads.

My beautiful Rudi cat. He just left his favourite perch to snuggle with Eddie.

SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Me too. I really feel for the folks in the area - heartbreaking
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Will do. The smoke is from the big fire about an hour away. Can only imagine how bad it is there.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social)
Photo taken just now. It smells so smoky out there

Send us the list. I'll start knitting you socks

You know where we are if you need to escape the hellhole

And I fear that the more that happens in the US, the more emboldened he and his supporters will become.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
He's bad news for the country. When's the next election?
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Idiots
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
They are very lovely
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Good luck to him as he continues his amazing journey!
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
It was a whole shit show of brain fog and then getting tongue tied. I should have pulled a Monica and pretended it was all deliberate
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
lol. It's coming out feet first so it's just going to walk out isn't it?
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Noooooooooooooooooo

A belt and braces approach shall be adopted.

Eddie (with her thumbs) needs to be paying particular attention I think

I hadn't realized we needed to discuss gun safety. Best get on that right away.

Got stuck on the word 'package' this aft in a meeting. Passenger Passage Package Got there eventually

Haha π€£
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
It's the tiny head and big eyes
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely. Although I did buy myself some pretzel things
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
She'll tell you the tale about how she never gets treats or anything
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Haha. No combination lock needed, just put a really high handle on the door.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
She has a pretty tough life π
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
I hear ya. Not helped by the fact I need to go into a meeting
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social)
Feels like a Mac n cheese kind of dinner night. You know who will be most excited about this? Eddie. We always have bacon with the Mac n cheese so it goes part way to make up for: A) not having bacon yesterday B) having her nails clipped today C) new person entering house

Friends, I am starting my own fully virtual private psychotherapy practice. I can see clients in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta right now. I am open to all adult clients, but my focus will be those who are queer and/or in ENM/CNM relationships. Affirming of neurodivergence and kink.

Nothing here yet
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm very similar. My parents are not from where I was raised, one side has deep familial roots in place, the other doesn't. I moved with my parents, on my own, with my husband & kids, we emigrated, we came from AB to NS. NS is home because that's where I am/feel at home. π¨π¦ is home, π¬π§ is not home.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent

Day 1 of no ham/bacon
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Fucking idiots. I have a deep distrust of anyone flying the flag. I can't shake the thought that it is a sign of trouble.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Just pop those chips into the sandwich for added yum factor
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
You'd get on great and she would never leave your side. Just in case.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Ugh. It is depressing and getting worse so quickly.
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Frequently. I'm a December birthday and around June every year it gets harder to remember how old I am
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
I love when I wear these that people do a double take π
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Ahhhh sorry. She's all good!
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
So good π
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
I realized my typo looked like she'd gone but couldn't be arsed retrying because autocorrect would probably change it again and I wouldn't notice. Sigh. All that to say - she's alive and well just pissed off that there's no bacon or ham π
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Eddie would eat it. Literally so long as it's bacon π Everything else - really picky
SproutCan (@sproutcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Loves. She loves a ham and bacon.
