Dear Lisi: Most of my daughter’s friends have a creative outlet, many in sports, some in dance and two in theatre. All these kids have settled into their one favourite activity and are going for it. They live in different parts of the city, so belong to different teams and clubs usually in their neighbourhood. There are exceptions, such as the one little girl who is so adept at cheer that she’s joined a team across the city because they are more competitive and higher ranked than her local team.

Dear Lisi: I dated different men all throughout my 20s, but because of different life events, my 30s were a lonely time. By 38, I knew I wasn’t meeting the man of my dreams in time to create offspring with him, so I forged ahead and did it on my own. My biological clock was stronger than my need for a partner. My parents were very involved and helpful, and though incredibly exhausting, my baby girl and I made it through.

Dear Lisi: I work with a woman I’ve worked with since I was a teenager. We both worked retail. She’s a few years older, so moved up the ladder while I was still part-time. We became good friends, and she promoted me every chance she could while she kept getting promoted. When that store closed, she asked me to help her open her own retail. I jumped at the chance. Once I graduated, I started working for her full time. We’re very close and have been there for each other through good times and bad.

Q My wife and I have been married for three years. We met in university, dated for two years until graduation and then moved in together right away when we both got jobs in a city neither of us were from. It made sense financially to just live together. It worked and as I say, we’ve now been married for a few years. We recently decided to start trying for a baby. It’s a good time in her career to do so. We were having lots of trouble over the past six months, so we started testing.
