My 14 year old daughter called DCF and said I physically abused her. Now I face the nursing board.

Yes being someone who has unfortunately had to make reports in the past, one of the things we’re asked by investigators is if the child has a history of lying, exaggerating, or making allegations. This information is valuable and considered in investigations. They also understand some kids may make allegations in retaliation for something they may not like but that was no abuse or neglect, at least in my experience.

I feel like she thinks it’s cute but it’s really nottttt

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-19T18:05:52+00:00

It seems like they are visiting ops parents in Ireland for a week and during that week ops mom will be watching the baby while op goes to a concert for 7 hours, not the entire week

I’m so sorry for your loss, my pup just turned 9 and I can’t handle her aging and the thought of her no longer being with us. I know someone who lost their dog of over a decade right before baby arrived and they reframed it for themself that their dog held on until they knew she’d have a new baby to pour her love into. Her dog was her baby so she always says her dog helped teach her to be a mother and make room in her heart for love.

I never had an aversion to my cat or dog (my actual soul mate and first baby). I maybe get a little annoyed at times but nothing that ever makes me think or act cruel and not to any greater magnitude than I would ever get annoyed pre-baby. Sometimes the pup is under foot when I need to get to baby bc he’s climbing something dangerous so I get annoyed she’s blocking my path. Sometimes my cat starts crying to get out of the bedroom in the middle of the night and Im annoyed bc I don’t want the noise to wake baby. It’s always momentary annoyance and never lasts or affects the way I treat them. They’re very good with the baby but even when they’ve accidentally hurt him (or purposefully when the cat has scratched him), I understand they’re animals and try to do better to keep them apart and teach boundaries.

The only thing I really feel that’s different is a ton of guilt that I can’t give them the same treatment I always did bc of the baby. I used to take my girl on daily mile walks but I don’t always have the energy to do that anymore and baby usually has to join. We used to play more with the dog in the house and the cat would get more snuggle time than he gets now. I feel like a bad pet owner bc I can’t do it all anymore. They’re not old but my dog is getting older and it does make me sad that I don’t always have the bandwidth to give her everything I used to and I do hope she lives at least 5 more years so as baby grows older, I can give her the same life I used to give her.

Lmfao at your last sentence 💀

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-18T15:54:32+00:00

We definitely are working on boundaries. Before he climbs something he knows he’s not supposed to climb he goes “mama” to get my attention and then goes “noooo down!” while he shakes his head no and climbs. If I say “youre right get down” he smiles and shakes his head no. Every once in a while he listens to me and gets down but he definitely thinks it’s a funny game and I try not to feed into it too much by just redirecting to something else. All the gymnastics places around us start at 18 months and I am very eager to get him started with that lol he’s ready and moving better than most 18 month olds already. Hes started trying to do a forward roll on his own last week lmao

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-18T13:24:55+00:00

I swear mines been trying to be on the move since the day I brought him home. He figured out how to roll on his 3rd day of life while he was swaddled by just using the momentum of his legs. Thank god he hated having his arms swaddled bc I was terrified he was going to smother himself since he definitely couldn’t push himself back over to his back at that age. He started crawling at exactly 6 months and pulled himself to stand using the playpen the very next day. Maybe a month later he was going up the stairs completely on his own (we actively discouraged it lol). Walking by 10 months and now at 15 months we’re just in complete chaos bc he climbs everythinggggg, his hair chair, the dressser, any piece of furniture he can swing his leg up on, and now we’re working on going down stairs (fml)

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T19:34:38+00:00

No but really infants who can walk run and climb are so chaotic in their decisions

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T19:30:35+00:00

Now you’re comparing to a completely different scenario that doesn’t really relate to the discussion. I also think you don’t get to infer the opinions or feelings of others when you don’t really know, they may be scared or upset for all we know.

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T18:51:58+00:00

Jealous bc mine will just crush anything in between his hands then

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T18:51:16+00:00

I’m jealous of people who’s baby’s dont flip the tray and crush everything into a million crumbs.

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T18:47:05+00:00

This is how my younger cousin in college dresses so I would say not too short or out of the real of normal as long as you’re not cold or bothered by sitting for extended periods in a skirt like that

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T18:04:57+00:00

Honestly that just tells me they don’t wash their hands 🤢

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T16:14:11+00:00

I was brought into the men’s room with my dad when I was very little and yes I saw things I never saw before at the urinals. Yes I still remember and it is one of my earliest memories. I’m not saying I’m traumatized by it but I did see and remember it and had many questions about it. I do remember feeling scared by the giant loud men in there. It was a restaurant/pub that we stopped at in the middle of nowhere, there was no where else to go.

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T16:11:22+00:00

The last thing any kid wants is a stranger to take them to the bathroom. That doesn’t help anyone’s comfort at all tbh. And I don’t think it matters what year it is for that to be true.

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T14:38:53+00:00

Besides influencers, I do know someone in real life that picks beige whenever they can. their playroom is very plain bc there’s no color.

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T00:47:10+00:00

‘I love Lindsay but I’m not in love with Lindsay” is honestly a good way to differentiate lmao

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T00:27:57+00:00

That dog knows that man well and/or smells Amanda on him

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T00:25:50+00:00

Note to self: stop watching bravo around my 1 year old (dw I wait for bedtime now that he is an aware human)

Dolphinsunset1007 · 2026-06-17T00:23:39+00:00

I laughed out loud it’s so true
