How to Get a Girl Pregnant – web series explores queer parenting options

posted Tuesday, June 22, 2021

by: in Parenting

Who can get pregnant? Who are expected to get pregnant? Who are not expected to get pregnant? That is exactly what the animated web series How to Get A Girl Pregnant, produced and directed by Barb Taylor, explores. It’s based on a memoir by author/script writer Karleen Pendleton Jiménez. There are a lot of assumptions when […]

Do Not Enter – Establishing some boundaries and privacy with shields and swords

posted Thursday, February 18, 2021

by: in Parenting

Privacy. In general terms it is the right to be left alone, free from interference or intrusion. This March the Gent turns the big 1-0, and privacy is a topic in this house. Functioning as a family of four with Erin and her ginger son during the pandemic has made things better. The kids have […]

by: in Parenting

So last time I posted it was about how I was going to engineer parenting during a pandemic and coming out sane on the other end. Now I am writing a post about coming out grateful on the other end. Of course, I am so grateful that I live in Canada with a liberal government […]

Parenting the Pandemic

posted Wednesday, April 8, 2020

by: in Parenting

So I took the kids to a graveyard today. Yup, you heard what I said. We had a great time, there were big rolling hills for The Gent to scooter down, gravestone names to be read, and some time in the morning to kill. No pun intended. However I should back up a bit, as […]

Supporting “Out of the Cold” Foundation Over The Holiday Season

posted Thursday, December 26, 2019

by: in Parenting

So the Ginger Gent and I have a tradition. As I have not had my full driver’s licence, we have always transported our Christmas tree via the TTC. It had to be light enough for mommy to carry it, and tied up well enough not to whack any innocent bystanders on the bus. Riding a […]

Stranger – Danger

posted Tuesday, November 26, 2019

by: in Parenting

It is not something I like to think about, but with two little ones it’s becoming more and more necessary to stranger-proof the boys. This can be one of your constant fears as a parent, yet you have to be vigilant not to let that turn you into an anxious helicopter parent. The danger is […]

Kissing Like Gord Downie

posted Monday, October 7, 2019

by: in Parenting

I have read that the late Gord Downie (1964-2017) of The Tragically Hip said I love you…a lot. He apparently was also a lip kisser, similar to our family. We always said hello, goodbye, and sometimes goodnight with a kiss. My sweet little Gentleman still doesn’t mind a lip smooch, but as he is eight and […]

by: in Parenting

What is it about Ferris wheels that bring out the kid in me? This weekend The Ginger Gent and I paid a visit, two in fact, to The Taste of the Danforth. Since the tragic events of last summer it seems like even more important to stand up and be counted with our community. As […]

by: in Parenting

Hello Ginger Gent fans, long time no post. Grade 2 is rapidly reaching a close and I have to say it has been one heck of an academic year. When The Gent came home after the first day of school, having spent it with his new teacher who is actually a supply that stayed on […]
