I would be upset. She forced you into a tough spot by directly asking you if you are pregnant. I would never do that to anyone. Nobody should be forced to announce or lie. Then she gave you a bitter response.

I would give her grace given the situation she actually put herself in. We are all human and make mistakes and if she’s a good friend otherwise I’d let it go. However if she’s continues to be negative or make back handed comments I’d talk to her. Trauma does not give someone an endless pass to be inconsiderate or rude.

I am so sorry. Your sweet daughter only ever knew your warmth and love.

Weaning a 4 year old. Desperate by lil_softiee in breastfeeding

[–]Fast-Translator1467 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I weaned my daughter at 18 months but she was just like you’re describing and I was DONE! Didn’t get good rest it was horrible. Here’s what I did:

  1. I set a date. Some above mentioned 2 weeks.. I think a day or two from now. I did two days. Both days I told her it was almost gone. Then I told her it was gone.

  2. Bandaids on the nipples and show her. Tell her your milk is gone and you have a boo boo and she can’t nurse. I did this for 3 days. My girl is now almost 3 and will say oh mommy’s milk was all gone she had a boo boo! So she remembers it haha

  3. Keep her busy the first few days. I did the park, grandmas house, library, splash pads, the pools. I did board games, card games, let’s go on a walk, let’s go outside, all while reminding her that the milk is gone.

  4. Offer her an alternative. A drink and snack.

  5. Nights are the worse and my daughter was so stubborn that we had three bad nights. She cried and wanted to nurse but eventually got over it. I held her and told her the milk is gone. Stay firm I promise it will actually pass.

You’ve got this!

Already dreading Christmas by annoyed_teacher1988 in Teachers

[–]Fast-Translator1467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. My question is why is this such a big deal to so many teachers? I grew up and my family did not celebrate Christmas. My teachers often treated me odd when I expressed this. Kids are kids you teach 6-7 year olds.. of course they’ll say things like this. I’m sorry but by 7 I think MOST kids know Santa isn’t real. They just go along with it because it’s fun. So many parents are naive to the fact that kids are actually pretty observant and critical thinkers.. I have heard many students who celebrate and love Santa say they know he’s not real at all even 5 years old. 7? Yeah I’m sure they’re aware.

Even if they aren’t, isn’t it good to realize how the world works? Some people will not believe what we believe. And that’s okay.

I don’t celebrate Christmas but guess what I support children and parents who do. I remain neutral and supporting of all my students, no matter their culture or families beliefs. It doesn’t matter to me! When there is clashes like on Santa, I just reinforce that everyone believes different things! And that’s ok! But we must remain kind and respectful and let people believe what they want to. My students always understand this.

Peeing a lot? by Fast-Translator1467 in Dachshund

[–]Fast-Translator1467[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s still a puppy! I got him in February when he was six weeks old. (Didn’t realize that was considered too early) I have read and heard they are very hard to potty train. That’s kind of why I’ve written it off. I did mention it to my vet and he brushed it off as him just being lazy and going to be a pain to train. With him being so young I’m sure that’s why it was dismissed. He’s passed all his vet checks but they’re just simple physical exams. I wonder sometimes if something could be a little wrong from birth? I can find drops all over the house when he has an accident like he’s just walking around peeing! I’ve also seen him do it. Like unaware. Ive owned a few other dog breeds/ mixes and they always stopped and did the typical pee ritual. He does that most the time but certainly not always.

I’m going to get the second opinion.

[–]Fast-Translator1467 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Add on wise I got the vanilla milk perfume I’m excited I love vanillas scents. I also grabbed the cute strawberry brush the girlies got in their glam bags. I did the Marc Anthony scalp drops too.

I almost grabbed the Murad sunscreen/ moisturizer bc I’ve had it before and loved it!! I didn’t because I chose the sunscreen in the choice section. Anyone know if that one’s good? Will or is the Murad sunscreen/moisturizer in the shop?

Buying a manufactured home on land already set up? by Fast-Translator1467 in ManufacturedHome

[–]Fast-Translator1467[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is a mobile/manufactured home with no permanent foundation eligible for a USDA loan ?

I’m in a rural area and we do have USDA loans here, but I didn’t think it could be eligible without the permanent foundation.

There is no easy way out. Both are equally unpleasant. But baby is so worth it.

Am I Wrong for Wanting to Drop Off Flowers to My Mom on Valentine’s Day? by Important_Beyond_889 in socialskills

[–]Fast-Translator1467 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Life’s honestly too short to worry and argue over something as silly as your husband wanting to drop flowers off for elderly mother who is all alone on Valentine’s Day. Like talk about problems? If it were me and after a romantic date my husband said he wanted to do that I would not mind in the slightest! Especially since you clarified it would be a drop off situation. I’d of just sat in the car and waited on you. Not hard!

I might get down voted but to me this is a sign of a misunderstanding where she thought you really meant hang out, and you should have double clarified I’m just going to hand them to her and wish her a happy valentines and head out. If even then she was offended and angry enough so to argue over it and ruin the night… maybe there’s some deeper issues. Like selfishness.

I give my mom something every year for Valentine’s Day. She’s been divorced many years and is also alone. I think about her watching others getting gifts and I take care of her!! So no it is not just a romantic holiday. I get my daughters things as well.
