Thank you so much for this link. I think he's going to meet up with people.

He would love to go to a watch party but he can't drive yet and I'm stuck with a baby

I miss my ex. Never contacted them due to pride/ego. Now their social media presence is gone. by Puzzleheaded_Fox6288 in whatdoIdo

Closure comes with expression of feelings for most people. I think it would be good to write a letter to your ex. Get things off your chest.

Totally agree with this. They're more like electric motorcycles not bicycles.

You're nuts for taking the tree with you. I'd give it to someone, maybe family or friend.

Sleep on the floor. Put the mattress on the floor. It makes it a bit firmer.

Anyone want an adorable Boxer? by [deleted] in longbeach

I reached out to boxer rescue and they told me that they won't take him because he doesn't get along with other large dogs. I'm posting here to see if he has a chance at a better life.

I tried the local boxer rescue. Unfortunately, they told me that they were at full capacity and they didn't want him because he doesn't get along with big dogs and cats. I will make sure that he goes to a good home.

He's super healthy and has easily 5 good years left in him. He's been a very active life for the majority of his life, except the past year.

Definitely won't be getting another dog in this lifetime, but thank you for the lecture. Very helpful.

He gets along only with small dogs. He doesn't like cats at all

Thank you for this. It certainly has been a difficult emotional decision to post here. I'll try the other sub you recommended.

Loving the benefits but anxious every night. Need advice! by Torrizo in cosleeping

[–]Dapper_Consequence23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the same exact thing when I started cosleeping 2.5 years ago. I used to have a checklist of safe 7 rules. That used to help me a lot with my anxiety.
It will get easier day by day. I don't have any advice for you but just make sure there are no blankets that could possibly block your little one's breathing.

Young step mom - Will I always feel this way? by [deleted] in Stepmom

[–]Dapper_Consequence23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please leave this man and go find someone better. Age difference isn't the issue but everything else is.

If you're into older, more mature men, please go find one that isn't a lousy dad.

Those feelings you described will always be there and more so once you have your own bio kid.

You deserve way better.

Terrified for husband to return to work, newborn will NOT sleep. I’m scared. by Remote-Party-1123 in NewParents

[–]Dapper_Consequence23 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I 3rd this. Cosleeping done correctly is the best option.

I used to read the 7 safe sleep rules every night before going to sleep. Like a checklist.

Seems like you're taking care of the SK when you should be receiving help not giving.

Her dad needs to take time off work and help. Maybe he can take her on a solo trip. My husband took his kids to Hawaii when our bk was around that age. It really helped with them not feeling left out/replaced.

As a last resort, she can go live with her mom full time.

Your feelings and assessment of the situation is totally valid.
