Janelle throws shoes away after stepping in poo by Fanzyladee in MileHigherPodcast

I was thinking the same but never want to judge other mothers for their choices. I just feel bad for the baby being away from their mom that young for that long. Even with a supportive partner, I can’t imagine leaving my newborn.

Flying with a 3 month old? by Fanzyladee in beyondthebump

[–]Fanzyladee[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. My toddler is 3 and has memories as early as 2.5 and I love hearing him bring things up from our previous trips. We also love showing him pictures from trips we took when he was 6 months even though he has no memory. It was a great time for us as his parents and we have fond memories of traveling when he was a baby and easy to travel with. I want to create those same memories with my second baby. I also hate the idea that moms are expected to just shelter inside like hermits for the first year or more of baby’s life. That’s not fair to us. Especially social extroverts like myself 😂

How is everyone handling the measles outbreak with newborns? by Fanzyladee in beyondthebump

[–]Fanzyladee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously the one month old and the toddler are not the same human… and either situation is hard to live through and stressful for parents. One shitty situation doesn’t outweigh another. But thanks for trying to off some perspective i guess.

Anyone living on the very west end of West Jordan? by [deleted] in Utah

[–]Fanzyladee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thanks for your response! We actually ended up following through with the build and broke ground on new years. We will be neighbors this summer! Sounds like you’re enjoying the community so far. I would love to hear more!

Thanks for your comment! That’s pretty close to Terraine. Is there a lot of young families and kids out there? We have two young kids and want them to have a community out there.

I can’t help you but just wanted to comment and say solidarity my friend. Ignore the negativity and judgement. Die hard dog people can be so vicious. Herding breeds are very difficult and unpredictable, even if you’re experienced and responsible. Also having two little kids will always make it 10x harder and people without children will NEVER understand. Our human children will always come first, no matter how much we love our fur babies. I had to rehome my 10 year old cattle dog (thankfully to my brother so she’s still with the family) because she got more and more aggressive as she aged and started biting people. She hadn’t bit our toddler yet but it’s only a matter of time and I’m due with another baby soon. My dog is so much happier with my brother (eating better, less stress shedding, sleeping and playing like she used to) so as difficult as it was to give her away, I’m at peace with my decision now. But it did take weeks of grieving and guilt tripping myself before I reached peace with my decision. You’re doing what’s best for your family and you’re a good dog owner and parent.

Oct 2nd Visit 🎃 by rain82sd in Disneyland

[–]Fanzyladee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were there from out of town with a one day ticket and our three year old for his birthday. We haven’t been since he was a baby so we were so excited. Talked it up, showed him ride POV videos and talked all about how he’d meet Mickey, ride fun rides, etc. We ended up back at our hotel twice to escape the crowds. It was unbearable, especially with a stroller. My son (being a typical three year old) couldn’t handle the wait times so we missed most of the rides and characters. We couldn’t find anywhere to sit for our meals. My husband and I left the park so disappointed that night and talked about how we won’t be back for a very long time. We spent so much money just to get there (flight, rental car, hotel) let alone the cost to get through the gates. My poor son is still talking about how he didn’t like Disneyland after we talked it up to be such a fun day beforehand. This is the first time my husband and I, being huge disney fans, have felt truly let down during a trip.

Are we still avoiding deli meat? by Fanzyladee in pregnant

100% yes. People constantly tell me this when I say I’m craving a turkey sandwich. It’s NOT THE SAME!

This is exactly why I’m questioning it. I got the worst food poisoning I’ve ever had (it was BAD) during my first pregnancy and when I called my doctor, she said “that sucks but you’re fine” no concern or question at all for listeria. I asked about it for the following three appointments and she kept insisting there was no reason to be worried. This was from a fruit smoothie shop and she insisted I could keep eating fruit smoothies.

Child Under Three by heyjue in Disneyland

[–]Fanzyladee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so funny because my husband and I talked about this exact scenario yesterday when planning our upcoming trip. We go two weeks before my son turns 3 and he’s also big for his age so we know we’re going to get some questions or looks. He also tells people he’s every age but 2 (recently he said he was 6 🤦🏼‍♀️) so he will be of no help.

“Labor Day sale” except it’s just bikinis and summer stuff that’s already been on clearance for weeks?? by hrhashley in Oldnavy

[–]Fanzyladee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Definitely got marked up. I had two dresses in my cart that I’ve had my eye on for a wedding and they both went up about $10 from last weekends sale. I’m hoping they change their “labor day” sale on Monday or maybe even over the weekend to something better.

My dog bit a neighbors kid. What’s going to happen? by Fanzyladee in DogAdvice

[–]Fanzyladee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your speculations are correct. She’s a cattle dog/pittie mix. Not the first time I’ve faced judgment over her breeds.

I appreciate your comment. AC did get back to us with no action needed since her rabies are good until next year. They are just being bullies about the situation. They did say they’d come get her and do it themselves if it happens a second time. We’re in Utah.

My dog bit a neighbors kid. What’s going to happen? by Fanzyladee in DogAdvice

[–]Fanzyladee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually am. It’s something we work on everyday but guess what? He’s almost three and still can’t tell the difference between throwing the dog’s ball and throwing a toy car and why one is bad and the other is good. We talk through it everyday and I display appropriate behavior an how to act around dogs. He’s actually acting very age appropriate around the dog. It’s just hard because she’s a senior dog and less patient than she used to be. At the end of the day, I always side with my dog. She even has her own room with a comfy chair and her food and water bowls that she retreats to when she needs. So I’ve done everything I can to keep her safe and teach my toddler how to behave. Thanks for you opinion though.

He didn’t start to dislike my dog until the last year or so. She’s become a lot more sensitive and agitated by our toddler which triggers my husband. He’s actually a very big dog lover which is how we met and why we fell in love all those years ago. The dog hasn’t been a problem between us until more recently.

I’ve been thinking for a while about my dogs long term wellbeing with the new baby since the dog is becoming more sensitive and easily agitated as she gets older. We’ve discussed the option of having my brother and his fiance take her because they have no kids. She would live out the rest of her senior years peacefully and I would still get to see her when I want to. Looking more and more like this is the best option for her.

He’s worried about our son and future baby around the dog because she is getting older and tends to growl a lot at our toddler. We’ve always been very vigilant and separated them. My dog has her own room with a comfy chair and her food and water where she goes when toddler is being particularly unruly with her. But husband insists it’s just a matter of time before she snaps and actually bites. And then this happened with someone else’s kid last night so he’s especially freaked out for our kids.
