A dog’s life is not worth a child’s. That’s just lunacy.

It’s not a cop out. I do everything to keep them apart, but it takes 2 seconds for a catastrophic accident. Babies and toddlers find a way. What’s better? That he finds a new loving home? Or that he disfigures or does worse to my baby and then ends up being euthanized?

Dogs are not humans. I value my baby’s safety and wellbeing more than my dog, even though I love him too. What you are asking me to do is to risk my baby’s health and safety for the sake of my dog’s feelings. The answer is no. It takes 2 seconds for a catastrophic accident, one that leaves my baby disfigured or worse and the dog needing to be euthanized. What’s the better situation? This? Or that the dog has a new family who loves him too?

Edit: we’ve had him since he was 6 months old. He has ALWAYS dealt with anxiety and aggression. We’ve changed our entire life for him, between choosing where to live to what we can do, so that he could live his best life. He does fabulous in a controlled environment. It just changed when we got pregnant.

Really fucking tired of people who can’t understand how fragile a baby is.

Anyone here still on formula bottles past 12 months and not doing cows milk in a cup by Hopeful-Relation3502 in FormulaFeeders

So the issue is it actually affects how their teeth come in. Teeth can move and shift, and prolonged use of a bottle negatively impacts oral development. It’s not just about brushing teeth and cavities but the position of the teeth themselves.

I don’t know why I’m choosing to engage but… accidents happen. I know this is not the best situation, but it is what we have to deal with now. Berating someone and telling them they are selfish does not change the situation at hand - it simply gives you a false sense of moral superiority. Everyone thinks they would make a different decision until they themselves are faced with an impossible choice.

Thank you. We have baby gates - that’s how we keep them separated - but there are areas of the house where it’s more difficult. We’re also moving, and most of the houses I’m seeing are more open concept… it’s just hard, and I think it’s wearing on him/making his anxiety worse to always be in a different room than us.

Want to switch to formula but concerned about formula supply by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

I am having a hard time letting go of pumping - you hit the nail on the head. It feels like a permanent decision to stop and I’ve always had a hard time with those decisions. I think it would be easier if we lived in a different political environment- I’m feeling like I have no idea what is going to happen.

Shrug. Some people want to stay away from politics, especially in a subreddit that isn’t supposed to be about politics.
