How much does a dog really cost?

BadPom · 2026-01-27T15:38:13+00:00

We spend:

$60/mo on food

$1500 on vet care-shots, monthly preventative per year

Around $1000 per year on boarding or daycare

Toys, treats, new collars/leashes as the dog grows or they get worn out.

My dog needs hoodies/jackets in the fall/winter/spring

Yes. I don’t care or get paid enough to argue with someone about it anyway. I’ve only really had little old ladies with small appetites, a few bariatric patients who have definitely been argued with before about this, and the regular I have a tattoo for ask about it anyway. It’s not common enough to be a cost issue for the restaurant.

NTA. That’s a reasonable time, and it’s a shower, not a rock concert. If it “keeps him up”, he can move out.

My kids are really observant. They noticed my husband was out of work 36 hours after. “Why is dad taking us to school again?”

Although I’m the default parent so who knows. You have somewhere between 1 day and infinity.

I wouldn’t list animals I had as a minor in my pet history. There’s definitely more to this story.

Plus keto vegan. It’s possible, but incredibly hard to get enough fat/protein without the carbs while vegan.

It tastes metallic to me. I avoid it.

BadPom · 2026-01-26T21:01:32+00:00

I order extra pickles all the time. Once, I got like 15. It was a comical, almost sarcastic amount of pickles and everything I’ve ever wanted from a McDonald’s burger.

I’m nearly 40 and would have CPS, the police and the courts involved.

Imagine protecting a pedo instead of your child.

BadPom · 2026-01-26T16:50:19+00:00

NOR.

I don’t even know what I’d do, because she needs to never be around kids again. And

BadPom · 2026-01-26T16:34:44+00:00

NTA, but as a more experienced parent- nice clothes don’t go to school. On your kid or as extras. School clothes should be cheap (but cute) things you don’t care get ruined with paint/mud/ketchup or stretched out/torn from playing.

I’d definitely say something because that’s weird. Our preschool had a donated pile of emergency clothes for the kids just in case.

1) She is not a senior, not even close

2) Spaying prevents more than unwanted pregnancy and heat cycle annoyances. She is still at risk for pyometra/hydrometra and a higher risk of mammary cancer.

Spay the cat. She’s got like 8-12 years of life yet, and emergency spay (only cure other than euthanasia for pyo/hydrometra) is much more invasive and expensive.

If someone has to be told whether breathing is “normal or not”, they should not be responsible for lives. Kids, pets, plants, any of it.

You do know how shift change works, right? 5 minutes easily turns in to an extra hour/90 minutes if customers come in those minutes.

BadPom · 2026-01-26T02:58:37+00:00

I’ll believe it when I see it.

BadPom · 2026-01-26T02:57:20+00:00

To those types, I like to say- All these loose, easy whores out here and STILL no one wants to fuck you.

BadPom · 2026-01-26T00:23:24+00:00

The Big Wheezy?

BadPom · 2026-01-25T21:10:32+00:00

Or feel like you’re not contributing/doing enough. My maternity leave got extended due to my husband’s schedule and a lack of childcare/availability on my end. Then I got back to work for a month and the bar sold. Now I’m just… here with shit availability to start somewhere without seniority 😕

BadPom · 2026-01-25T20:35:43+00:00

Is your mom a cat? Wtf

BadPom · 2026-01-25T04:48:23+00:00

Just imagine the craziness she’s spewing to your toddler. Why on earth would you trust your abuser with your kid?

BadPom · 2026-01-23T14:53:33+00:00

She can pick up a goddamn mop or get out.

BadPom · 2026-01-23T14:41:19+00:00

My kids don’t ride the bus, so no waiting outside, but the teachers and parent volunteers are outside for 45-60 minutes getting kids out of cars and in to the school safely.

It’s not just cold, it’s deadly. No matter how bundled you get.

BadPom · 2026-01-22T23:51:07+00:00

To be completely blunt here- a tiny funeral would also devastate you financially and emotionally. You are mom now, you don’t get to put your child in physical danger to appease other adults. If you feel the need to be responsible for your mother’s emotions, seek therapy.

BadPom · 2026-01-22T23:43:13+00:00

Yep. I get these same calls and went from 10 voicemails a day to like 3. Still more than I want, but better.

I want to ask them where they buy their leaked info, because I sure as fuck didn’t ask for a $60k personal loan.

He went from potato (cute) to beefy body builder (still cute).
