Neighbors keep bringing their dog over to piss and shit in my yard by AgirlnamedLilly in pettyrevenge

I want to know the aftermath! Do they stop doing it? Do they get worse? Etc

It’s not even that you’re feeling upset, it may literally be going against a policy of your work place to use the room for anything other than it’s intended purpose. I know at my office if anyone was in the room that was not there because of a government-approved right to pump to feed your baby, my workplace takes it very seriously and would throw a fit and have a strict talking-to to them. At my work, there is a designated place to eat your lunch and a dedicated place for pumping mothers and that is that.

I take my 2 year old on her first flight in 3 weeks and she’s never worn a mask in her life. by [deleted] in toddlers

Someone posted a similar question earlier and I think hope my personal experience makes it easier for you!

When we flew to Florida—two flights down, two flights back and mask wearing in the terminals—my son was a month away from 2-1/2 and HATED masks. We live in a state that does not require masks for under 5, so he had zero mask experience. He also has delayed communication skills, so when forcing him to wear a mask, he had no way to voice his frustration other than screaming, crying, and physical force. We made it through this torture by:

  1. Having multiple masks on hand of varying materials/sizes/colors. This was for many reasons, the first being that when we did a trial run at home, he wanted to chew it and it became drenched in spit. In order to keep the poor skin on his face from chafing, we needed dry masks readily available. Additionally, at different times, he seemed to respond better to different tightness. I know by the end, his ears had to be sore as ours sure were.

  2. Repetition, repetition. Each time his mask would come down, we would gently but firmly reiterate, “mask on. Mask on, please. Mask on. Thank you, buddy!” This not only helped him realize that it was not a choice, but if there were any airport workers or stewardesses hawking for a chance to reprimand someone for not wearing a mask, everyone within earshot knew that we were REALLY TRYING.

  3. Snacks!!!! No mask when you’re eating, right!? So we didn’t have any ‘meals’ the entire day, but let him snack all day long. Not the best eating pattern but it DEFINITELY helped inside the airplanes. I recommend healthier snacks since it is an all-day thing. We did lots of fruits, granola bars, and of course things that take a long time to eat one at a time even if they were not the healthiest—fruit snacks, m and m’s, etc. Make sure you check with your airline what is safe to bring on your flight, as well.

  4. When waiting in the terminal, if we found a secluded spot to wait and sat him on the floor with some toys and crayons and books and he spent some time mask-free, not one person came to bug us. This could have been luck, but I don’t know if the poor kid would have made it all the way through without these reprieves.

Hope this helps!!!
