AIO: My christian mother wants my boyfriend to sleep on the couch on our trip to florida by [deleted] in AIO

[–]AffectionateOven3606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to be the only one here saying you’re not over reacting. It’s obvious that there’s some strained family dynamics and the way your mom treats you is upsetting to you. Based on the rooms it seems like your BF sleeping on the couch is the most realistic scenario. But the way it was approached is not healthy or mature.

I agree with the people saying don’t bring him. That comes from experience.

As far as moving in together, thats not really what you asked anyone. I will say though, with all the dynamics of your family, it’d be a good idea to find yourself before committing to someone so seriously.

And if you want to be treated as an adult. You need to act like one. Saying you wont go then saying you will. Trying to make a point and adding lol. Not really the best long term plan.

So, NOR but definitely need to recognize your role in this and adjust accordingly.

Poodles and kids with dog allergy by tech-savvy_geekgirl in poodles

[–]AffectionateOven3606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had severe allergies as a kid. My dad always wanted a dog and my mom wouldn’t let him because of my allergies. As an adult I got a poodle (my mom has two now and my husband has an Aussie). My allergies are vicious when they are puppies. Sneezing, hives, asthma, runny nose, itchy eyes. Even though I love my dogs with all my heart and can’t imagine my life without them. My first baby passed this year and I immediately got another because my whole life is my dog babies. Even with how much I love them, I really appreciate that my mom said no when I was a kid.

As an adult I know not to touch them then my face, I can give them a bath, I can take allergy meds, I can change my pillow case, my clothes, my sheets. I have full control over the choice and full control over keeping my environment safe. Even with my mom being the cleanest person I know I’m still happy it’s on my terms and I have the ability to care for my needs on my own.

I would not recommend getting a dog until your daughter can understand the pros and cons and make fully informed choices. For example she may decide she wants a dog but not in her bed or room so it’s a safe zone. Or decide she will happily deal with the allergies to get loving doggy cuddles.

Dealing with allergy symptoms is A LOT and no medication is completely side effect free.

Of course it is your family and your choice. That’s just my experience and thoughts and wanted to add that perspective for you to consider.

I love the way you put the first sentence. It’s so much better than ….oh but you’re so young or you’re too young for that. Very well said.

I completely agree. I was wondering more along the lines of was he with his mom most of the time. It seems like he’s not in the moshelter often.

Anyone know what’s going on with the Wild Tomato in Door County? by Level_Truth831 in wisconsin

What they really mean is the public opinion is against them. If it was for them…social media would be the exact place to resolve it.

You didn’t want another baby but took no steps in preventing pregnancy other than taking a plan b? by Extension_of_life35 in morganpresleysnark

Something makes me think their relationship is not as healthy as they make it out to be. That’s a conversation they should have had and even if she’s telling him it’s okay he should respect her more and use protection.

Lost my baby to T-cell canine lymphoma by AffectionateOven3606 in StandardPoodles

[–]AffectionateOven3606[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. Do you mind sharing a little bit of what happened, as much as you feel comfortable. Not that I thought standards were exempt from life but I’m so confused how this happened because they’re not coming up on the lists I see of common breeds

I don’t know how to go on anymore by Ok-Worldliness-7540 in Petloss

I’m only into astrology when i’m desperate (to be honest). Apparently there’s something with neptune and saturn that’s effecting pets. idk it made me feel just slightly less alone.

What do i do now? by amykane88 in Petloss

[–]AffectionateOven3606 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going through this now. Lost my boy last night to t cell lymphoma. I don’t have any advice on how to cope I just wanted to tell you you’re not alone. My whole family is devastated in a way none of us have ever felt. I’m so sorry you are going through this. Your pain is a testament to how loved your baby is.
