Took my 5yo to an art gallery for the first time yesterday, and hearing her stop and say “Whoa” when we entered the Morrisseau room was a top 10 parenting moment

There’s also a lot to be said around how socioeconomic status affects all of these discussions. Lauren gets at some of this in the article (screenshot), but 90s summer nostalgia also misses that a lot of us didn’t have the luxury of sitting around. I worked FT every summer from 14+. My friends too

The bar is on the floor for boomer parents. The floor. And so many can’t even do the most basic, ordinary-human-level stuff.
Shared this post I saw on FB with my spouse and yeah—his parents don’t even do these things.

Doors Open Toronto was a massive hit!
(OK, 2yo looks miserable here but I took this at the end and he was v tired 😂)
I would never have attempted a solo excursion like this a year ago, so feeling just a little proud of my improved confidence 😊

Alas, a full 62% of eligible voters there voted for the CPC (81% of actual voters). So there is basically no chance. Which only goes to show how insecure and pathetic PP is. Can’t handle any meaningful challenge to his leadership or ideas.
