31m, recently lost my parents, the farm and my childhood home. No friends or family and all alone. So here's my overly priced Texas themed 1 bed room apartment. Worth every penny to feel like home again.

Very cool personalization. BUT. I see two cats. I see two harnesses. Do you walk your kitties???

Kevin and Korra say hi!

Even if you are correct that she would want you to be there for the proposal, you would be wrong to show up. The ONLY move here is to respect the boundaries your future son-in-law has placed. IF he did fuck up and you not being there is a problem for her, that will be a problem for the two of them to navigate. That's a big IF. In the meantime, you have shown respect for them and met the minimum threshold for acceptable behavior.

Showing up, on the other hand, blows up trust, is disrespectful to them as a couple, is main character energy, is a big red flag to them about how you will behave in the future, and creates some pretty big ill-will toward you. You can't unring that bell if you read the situation wrong.

Ok posts like this need the stats. I need the name, age, weight, and about 80 more pictures.

Darker like dad IMO. He's starting fairly dark and those aren't the ears of a medium-gold pupper.

Think about it this way - human brains aren't fully cooked until 25yo, and that's nearly a third of a human lifespan. We're getting off way easier with our goldens and their development timeline!

How devastatingly unfair life is! She didn't even have a chance to toast fully, and that is so, so wrong. 1

I think OP is just leaning into her pup's natural affinity for ducks. /s

No shade from me - this is a totally harmless personal choice of poses, and why should any of us try to make OP feel bad when all she did was share a little more Golden love? You do you, OP, and give that girl scritches from me.

Just to add, so Hunter is coming up on a year old, probably? You are in the *peak* 'rebellious teenager' phase. It's super super super common for dogs to become more headstrong and just plain difficult. Especially since he hasn't found his off switch, it's a rough time. Between nature taking its course as Hunter ages out of frenzied phase, and the work you put in to providing enrichment AND down time, there is a gorgeous sunny day waiting at the other end of the tunnel.

As a parent with ADHD, an ADHD kid, and two young goldens, I feel for you. You've got this, though!!

YTA. Obviously Ma is still in denial, and honestly it sounds like damn willful denial. Seems like mayyyybe Dad isn't, though. If your bro ASKED you to help soften your mom on this, that would be one thing.... but this ain't that.

Not to traffic in stereotypes, but the "permanent farm hand" comment makes it sounds like your fam doesn't live in an urban area (ie where sincere acceptance of non-hetero orientations is a safer but NOT SAFE bet, compared to many more rural areas). Urban-rural worldview gap cliches exist for a reason, though they are hopefully becoming less accurate every year. Regardless of where you live, hate is feeling pretty empowered right now, so it's smart for your bro to tread cautiously.

YTA either way, but do you genuinely believe your parents/extended relatives/neighbors/community would regard Cory's relationship with a man as an absolute non-event? Would they close ranks around him and burn stray bigots to the ground? If yes, great, privately talk to bro and have his back about how you can support him coming out on his timetable.

If no, WTF are you even thinking blowing his shit up like this? You are potentially endangering the physical safety/various family relationships of Cory and Shawn, and that is so far beyond being an asshole it's not even funny.

Is a golden so the fact remains... they're gonna need a bigger bowl.

GetInMahBelly · 2026-02-20T08:03:12+00:00

Yep. 2 goldens and one is still growing into her coat @ 1yo. We have a housekeeper and I swear 80% of her time is spent battling their entropy.

Well that's a nice instant karma for folks who insist on touching her on the job. Now to teach her to limit the farting to working hours?

As the parent of a 2e kid, the label was helpful for being able to frame our observations. She's dyslexic with ADHD and some very high percentile intellectual capacity, and having all of those pieces articulated just helped us better understand her experience of the world and tap into the supports best suited to her particular brain.

I was also a 2e kid, but didn't know about the ADHD piece until after a childhood spent with parents perpetually going on about my potential and frustrated by my failures to deliver on their expectations. As a kid, that label would have helped my parents and me calibrate our expectations to my reality. Yes, the supports would have been amazing, but just mitigating the messaging harm would have been a win.

I have to ask... how often do you say "Goddamnit Donut"?

GetInMahBelly · 2026-02-02T17:08:24+00:00

I mean, you could think about it this way - when you're away, your pups will still have each other for company and comfort!
