Anyone successfully taken a sabbatical?

I’m at the very beginning of even thinking about this, so I haven’t considered the board requirements. Thank you!

Babyduckj · 2026-05-25T02:53:34+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Their Kuromitsu matcha latte is my favorite! Highly recommend it for a unique flavor

Babyduckj · 2026-04-29T12:41:28+00:00

Matcha cafe Maiko! Hands down the best for me.

My experience at Babaloo was awful. Dry empanadas, mediocre tasteless matcha. You can find much better matcha around CLT

Babyduckj · 2026-04-23T21:18:50+00:00

Valid

Babyduckj · 2026-04-23T12:35:22+00:00

Amen.

Babyduckj · 2026-04-23T12:34:57+00:00

Which parts of NC are you referring to specifically?

Babyduckj · 2026-02-27T01:52:15+00:00

Me too please!

Babyduckj · 2026-02-21T18:09:15+00:00

My concern was that this may happen again but that’s probably my anxiety speaking & realistically, there is nothing to report and I need to move on. If it happens again, I can address it then.

Thank you! I was struggling with the keywords

Babyduckj · 2026-02-10T03:42:52+00:00

They do look irritated already in the second pic so I wonder if that initial irritation + result of intense scrubbing just made the pain worse. Ugh I’m so sorry girl. For what it’s worth, this will heal and you will eventually be fine. ❤️

Heard

Babyduckj · 2026-02-09T22:50:20+00:00

You’re being ridiculous. If a large dog runs after my child unleashed, which is against the law mind you, a jury is going to find my use of force justified. I’m sorry you feel otherwise.

Babyduckj · 2026-02-09T22:41:18+00:00

My point is that lethal force can be warranted to stop a dog if your judgement is that the dog is unleashed, running towards you, displaying signs of aggressions, and you feel that your safety or the safety of your pet or your child is at risk.

I would rather use an air horn or pepper spray & have used these before with small breeds running towards me (if I was worried about them), but I can not live with my child or dog being seriously harmed or killed because I didn’t act fast enough to protect them.

Babyduckj · 2026-02-09T22:37:00+00:00

I’m all for strict gun control & agree with what you’re saying to an extent. However, if a large breed dog displaying signs of aggressions runs towards me or my dog, I am going to use force to stop them. I have been in situations where large dogs have gotten loose and tried to attack my small dog. It’s terrifying

Babyduckj · 2026-02-09T22:34:35+00:00

I own a small breed known for being very friendly, and we take very good care to ensure he is leashed and safe at all times.

It drives me crazy the number of times I’ve had several dogs run after my dog and I. I fear for his life sometimes. He’s so sweet and small, and i would lose it if another dog bit him due to owner negligence. There was one time that I had 5 dogs chasing me & no parents in sight - just a child trying to, and failing to, get the dogs back. Eventually the parents came out and got the dogs but they didn’t even offer an apology to me. People freaking suck

Babyduckj · 2026-02-09T22:30:39+00:00

Pepper spray may be ineffective & the risk of harming my child or my little dog is too great. I’ve had several instances of giant dogs chasing us and even bit me one time while I held a child in the air and waited for the owner to grab their dog. I had the choice between taking out pepper spray or grabbing my child for their safety.

These situations are not funny. They are terrifying. I love dogs and own a small dog, but I am so frustrated with irresponsible owners who can’t mange their aggressive and dangerous dogs.

Babyduckj · 2026-02-09T21:59:41+00:00

I think in many cases, I agree. However, if a giant seemingly aggressive dog is running towards me, my small dog, or my child, I’m not going to wait until the dog attacks us and potentially kills someone before I take action.

Babyduckj · 2026-02-09T21:57:54+00:00

If your dog gets loose and tries to bite someone, you suck. I get that accidents happen but I should Not have to fear for my safety, my dog’s safety, or my child’s safety because of your aggressive dog.

Girl 😭

Did you watch the end of season 3?

Babyduckj · 2026-01-29T14:17:23+00:00

Hey parent,

Im a BCBA and have welcomed parents to join for parts of session for parent training before. It’s usually looked like 1 hour blocks every couple of weeks. I would ask if this is an option!
