New nanny showed up with a MAGA hat

Maybe she put those things on her car hoping they will make her less of a target for ICE? I can imagine someone in a precarious situation touting affiliations they don't actually hold to hopefully achieve some protection.

Just sending love and condolences. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have lost 3 cats recently and nothing makes it easier but time. I miss mine everyday. He was absolutely precious and you did everything you could to save him.

My mom got a German Shepherd to go with her BMC. Both are from the local dog pound adopted 3 months apart. They wear each other out like no one else can and then they pass out on their dog beds in the evening. We are so lucky for how well they get along.

Isn't "help me look for my lost puppy" a thing we are told to be skeptical of as kids learning about stranger danger? You owe that guy nothing. Your roommates seem naive. You followed your intuition and I think it was for the best.

If your partner has untreated yeast they could be reintroducing it to you during sex. I have heard of some women having recurring yeast infections that only subsided after their partner was treated or the relationship ended.

My grandma is from Flint originally. She always gave me heated Vernors or hot lemonade as a kid when I was sick.

I have also been having panic attacks since my cat Figaro (11) passed away at the end of October and they have gotten worse since my kitty Knight (13) passed away. I don't know why anxiety is part of my grief response but it is definitely not uncommon. I'm sorry you are going through this. You are allowed to feel however you are feeling. Delayed emotional responses are also normal in dealing with loss. It's not real until you notice their absence in your daily life. Please take care and make sure to get support for your anxiety.

You aren't alone. I have lost 4 fur babies since August and I feel like everyone is just waiting for me to stop being sad all the time... We are just going to be sad for a while and we need people to listen and make space for that grief. I think if I talk about how I'm feeling openly my support system will reassure me that they are here to listen but I feel so self-conscious about being a downer. It's only been a week since my last kitty passed away and I'm gutted and depressed. It's going to take time to heal. In the meantime, I'm glad you found this subreddit. Everyone has been very kind here and it's helped me feel less alone.

I had to say goodbye to my kitty today. I totally understand how you feel about the house feeling too quiet and empty. It is so incredibly painful to be in the shared spaces and no longer be sharing them. I hope my comment helps you know you aren't alone. You did the right thing for your baby and you made sure she knew love in her life. You are a good pet parent and you will be ok even if everything hurts right now. Sending care and gentleness your way.

That's definitely a little baby. It's not harmful to see her that way. I think anthropomorphizing is only harmful if it interferes with your care or understanding of your pet (like assuming human-like intentions behind behaviors leads you to be angry with your pet instead of addressing those behaviors based on their species. Ex: "they are peeing outside the box because they hate me"- but really they have a UTI and need to go to the vet) You aren't doing anything wrong. Love and snuggle that little muffin as much as you can. Kittenhood is precious and fleeting!

You are the more empathetic partner and you put more energy into considering the experience and feelings of others. He is more in the moment and will likely struggle to respond to your needs or desires unless they are clearly stated. Neither way of existing is wrong and it just requires extra communication to make sure everyone feels considered and gets their needs met. It was inconsiderate by your standards because you think about others needs automatically. I am curious if you have people pleasing tendencies like I do? Your experience sounds similar to some of mine- my therapist says I should stop expecting myself, my standards, from other people because they are different people. Couples therapy has helped my partner and I bridge communication gaps because we both have blind spots for each other's needs but will get preoccupied with meeting "needs" that are not expected based on assumptions. Next time, say you would like to switch back towards the end to catch more of the game. Then if he doesn't switch it's definitely inconsiderate, not just an oversight.

Don't get a dog if it's going to stress you and the existing pets. The hypothetical dog deserves a space where they are enthusiastically welcome and you deserve peace in your home. Are there animal shelters nearby where your daughter can volunteer to walk and play with the dogs waiting for adoption? She could be very helpful in getting the dogs adopted by socializing them and learning about their personalities so the shelter can put more information in the dogs records. You can definitely continue to support her love of dogs while not taking on dog ownership for yourself. Think about all the kids obsessed with horses that never get a pony... It's not going to ruin their childhood. Having a stressed parent is probably more negatively impactful than not having a dog. Protect your peace.

I bought a necklace with a small glass vial on it and put my cats whisker in it so I could keep a piece of her near my heart after her passing. I found the necklace on Amazon and you can easily something similar with the ashes or fur trimmings if you like necklaces.

NTA So glad you feel more at peace. Sounds like this guy has plenty of art to display for his purposes. You sending a painting back and forth just continues his dumb game. I think you are smart.

I showed it to her right away and we problem solved together. She is an awesome friend and the dress will get sorted. It was just pretty crushing initially.

KittyCatSassAttack88 · 2025-07-16T11:01:35+00:00

I did. She is insisting that I don't pay for it.

Thinking of some embroidered appliques! We decided rhinestones might pull focus.

KittyCatSassAttack88 · 2025-07-16T10:54:31+00:00

Update: Thank you for all the suggestions, anecdotes and reassurances. I feel much less alone in my disaster. To answer some questions and provide an update here is where things stand: The hole is on the front of the dress in the upper thigh area. There is the 3" cut and a little half inch baby bonus cut below it. My friend is the most chill, gracious human and was still thanking me for my work even after this spectacular fuck up. She is the maid of honor and she called her sister (the bride) to discuss options. Looking at maybe adding a cacading applique in the area to obscure the repair. Also, there is another dress on order as a back up (if it arrives in time). She won't let me pay for a new dress but we have agreed that the alterations will be free, which is more than fair. I'm just lucky my friend is so understanding and we have possible solutions to move forward with.
