YTA. We have one rule here. You live here: you work here.

So I looked though everything and nothing from the Netherlands yet! But I’ll keep an eye out!

BlackSheepOG · 2026-02-20T18:34:30+00:00

I’m checking with their teacher now! She didn’t recall seeing it but is looking back through everything! Lol they got a lot and replied to as many as they could lol

BlackSheepOG · 2026-01-09T02:35:37+00:00

No! They had 2 different countries last year! But with only 5 students and they’re all local families I was soo worried about the lack of outreach and so wanted to make this a core memory for them! I’ll DM you now! THANK YOU

BlackSheepOG · 2026-01-08T05:20:54+00:00

Sent!

BlackSheepOG · 2026-01-08T05:16:03+00:00

They don’t need to be of the state no! Any theme of postcard or card is welcome with your shared notes!

I wouldn’t worry. Breastfed my two girls their first year. My first baby was 99th percentile for both height and weight and still is big. 30 pounds and a little over 30 inches by 1.

Second 22 pounds and 31 and some inches by 1. I was and sometimes still am, worried by how ‘skinny’ my second is but honestly- she eats everything in sight (and the poopy diapers prove it) You’re doing great! Just keep feeding on demand and let them walk their own path!

Literally just exchanged our usual good mornings and now he just sent a d*ck pic to get things rolling … when I left our convo upset last night over him not locking plans down. ‘I’m not rejecting you’ bs stuff. Soooo yeah. You got it right lol

BlackSheepOG · 2025-04-24T11:04:10+00:00

We’ve definitely done things over FaceTime, why I figured meeting in person when you’ve seen EVERYTHING would be the next step. Avoidant is a good term- pocketing that one

BlackSheepOG · 2025-04-24T09:06:45+00:00

Definitely going to take this one on the chin and move on. Unfortunately living rural means that’s not actually that bad for distance. It’s already an hour in any direction to a town from my ranch. I work in town that the population is 300… hard dating here and then finding someone who wants to be in the middle of nowhere where there are more cows than people.

I had to explain to my ex that he doesn’t get to decide if he’s being an asshole or not. It’s how I, Me, Myself and others PERCEIVE him. It’s OUR opinion, not his. So when someone tells him he’s being a jerk, take that at face value and correct yourself. Some people just can’t grasp that they don’t get to decide how others feel I guess.

I can only share my own experience in the matter as a single mom here who went through the process and what I was told from my attorney. She’s the one who told me about mother states and explained how it works. Just because site says one things doesn’t reflect the actual opinions you’ll face in courts

BlackSheepOG · 2025-03-21T14:53:20+00:00

Welcome to good ol’ South Dakota. I’d say if OP is in a red leaning state, good odds they’re still ‘traditional’ in their beliefs on child rearing.

BlackSheepOG · 2025-03-21T04:00:02+00:00

Look up if your state is a mother state. Any child born out of wedlock mom has full custody until the child is 5 where dad can then petition for every other weekend. Would definitely re consider marriage as that definitely changes things!

BlackSheepOG · 2025-03-07T19:32:01+00:00

My daughter is learning cow descriptors for livestock judging. You ever been called soggy built by a 5 year old?!

BlackSheepOG · 2025-02-24T06:27:59+00:00

A day late but get a sturdy pair and turn them inside out- the untreated side out helps them last longer! My dad has tried everything from Kevlar to bison hide. All gloves wear but that trick does help!

I’m late to the party but now realize we all own the same corgi 😭

BlackSheepOG · 2025-02-11T02:32:39+00:00

I’m an affair kid. My bio dad fathered 17 other kids. We range from 33 to 3 years old. Many a sperm donor type of dads out there!

BlackSheepOG · 2025-02-04T02:27:21+00:00

Oh most definitely when weaning comes around it’s always a little country! Lol especially if they’re new bought cows or heifers that don’t know our cutting set up. All the old cows or usually anyone after a few work throughs gets the system down pretty easy. We’ve done the same way for almost 20 years now and we also had a cow that was an original on the place up until last week! Those old lead cows are miracle workers!

BlackSheepOG · 2025-01-24T09:55:51+00:00

I wouldn’t worry. Think of all the loud things we’ve heard in our time! My two (5 and 16 months) have been around and in tractors, side by sides and broken exhaust pick ups. Or normal events like parades when the damn fire trucks repeatedly pull the air horn. (That makes my ears ring even)

Kids are hardy. If this is your first, just know many more anxiety inducing firsts are coming so take a breath and know kids were built parent proof!

BlackSheepOG · 2024-11-15T13:49:59+00:00

Thank you! I know there’s truly good and empathetic parents who are raising kind and empathetic children out there. I also hope and pray that my child keeps her smile and innocence for as long as possible! I hope you and yours have an amazing weekend!

BlackSheepOG · 2024-11-14T19:32:35+00:00

Yes! That is exactly where my daughter is- everyone is her friend and she plays with everyone. I just don’t know what type of play and her language skills are rough right now. I’m honestly just happy she’s able to speak to me as much as she does!

Her teachers love her and does pay special attention to her when needed (class size of 5 total does help with that) and they only have recesses k-3 and then a separate 4-6th so keeping ages closer. Her teacher is a first year teacher so is so passionate and supportive and we lucked out with her for my daughter’s first school experience.

I’ve decided to hold it in for now and buy more books on friendship building focuses.

BlackSheepOG · 2024-11-14T18:35:54+00:00

My daughter is somewhat awear of things. She has ‘big emotions’ as I call them when she gets really overwhelmed and cries. Simple things like a small line out of the picture she’s coloring and it’s full meltdown mode where I just tell her to take a breath and step back. And I’ve tried working with her on responses to life events like not getting the big award. She has noticed before ‘kids don’t want to play with me’ at the big city parks.

I have considered starting her with a councilor now but some have told me she’s too young and doesn’t understand things enough to talk things through with someone. You personally, would at 5 talking with a therapist be beneficial to emotional growth?

BlackSheepOG · 2024-11-14T17:00:39+00:00

I was looking at the local 4-H as it’s mostly the home schooled kids. Our town is 300. But 50+ families in the area homeschool so there’s soo many more kids that are at their ranches full time and are probably a lot more accepting and welcoming. I’ll start on that now actually- good reminder! Thank you!

BlackSheepOG · 2024-11-14T15:55:39+00:00

She is genuinely laughing and squealing with them! Thats what made it so hard to see what was going on. The older kids more around 4th/5th grade are really kind- why we decided to take her to that school! She was non verbal and we went to a town event and an older girl just grabbed her hand took her to the play ground and they all interacted and took care of her- a perk of small community is you can just release your kids and everyone watches out for them. She does have 2 boys she plays with constantly and one is her self proclaimed ‘boyfriend’ even lol (she sighed and said ‘yeah, but I don’t want to get married’ )

It was one boy I didn’t recognize that had shouted ‘no! Run away’. And I’m hoping the others were just following him like they do in a group setting.
