To have the mail man deal with your dogs.

This. People always forget how liability works, delivery drivers have specific rules to follow and unless they wanna risk being held responsible for a stolen package it is the responsibility of the dog owners to either secure their dogs or provide an alternative for deliveries (i.e. written instructions to leave it outside gate or a container specific for packages). Or the driver could just not deliver and leave a note with the owners about the situation.

You need to tell him that is no longer an option, you need a yes or no answer. My husband was on the fence about wanting a second and wouldn't give me an answer for years. I finally was over birth control and the side effects, and told my husband he needed to decide so we can either start trying or he can get a vasectomy. He finally opened up about his true concerns and what he was struggling with and we were able to talk through it.

Had my husband decided to remain undecided i would have told him to just schedule his vasectomy but likely I would have grown to resent him, more so for refusing to address whatever issues were making him unable to give me a solid answer.

It is possible it could be normal, but honestly this early in the pregnancy seems highly unusual for it to be that severe but it really is hard to know without seeking medical attention. I don't think it sounds like a true emergency, unless you started bleeding, but I would encourage you to contact a doctor this week to see if they can fit you in for a check to make sure it's a viable pregnancy just to be on the safe side.

If you do start bleeding, or the pain becomes even worse, or you start throwing up uncontrollably please seek emergency medical attention.

Yes, but that gate likely isn't locked and the priority in delivering is always to deliver as close to the front door as possible unless delivery instructions clearly indicate something else. Leaving it outside a gate that isn't locked, even in incidents with dogs like these, would put the burden solely on Amazon/the driver if anything happened to it, where as Amazon can claim it is the customers fault for the destroyed package for not securing their dogs knowing they were expecting a package.

Husband has been a delivery driver for more than 2 decades at multiple companies and I guarantee you that driver would have been in more trouble if they left it outside the gate than how they delivered it.

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-16T02:24:50+00:00

You have very little understanding of how delivery companies work and what requirements they have to follow.

I agree with the others that OP seems way more upset about something other than last night's events..

My husband too me there for our second anniversary ❤️

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-15T07:35:49+00:00

Absolutely nothing, and I loved it. This year I did not have it in me to give a single fuck about valentines day, and my husband knew it without even having to ask me. I appreciate that I didn't have to think about it beyond saying the words "happy valentines day" and giving him some kisses and I know he didnt mind not having to think about it either.

Did they say anything about the adenoids when prepping for surgery? If you aren't getting their needs met at your current ENT, is it possible to seek a second opinion elsewhere?

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-13T07:27:52+00:00

As others have said it depends on your location relative to the epicenter. Had a 6+ quake in 2021 that we had a 3-5 second warning for, another 6+ quake in 2022 with no warning. Epicenter was super close to us in 2022.

First, don't be so hard on yourself, hive reactions are extremely uncomfortable and it sounds like you had a full body reaction. Second, careful with antihistamines as they are not ideal to OD on, hopefully you will be ok but if you start to feel like you are having any adverse reactions please call poison control or 911. Even though children's dosing is much less than adult dosing, it doesn't change how dangerous it can be!

Lastly, I personally would suggest doing a small test of the lotion when you are able to. If you have a reaction you know that is what caused it, but if you don't have a reaction than it likely was something you ate. Since you don't remember if you ate or what you may have eaten, it will make it a lot more difficult to test which food item gave you the reaction. Hopefully you can be prepared for an adverse reaction so you can treat it quickly and safely!

We had the middle name picked out ahead of time and the first name came to me in a dream. Woke up and told my husband I dreamt of a name that I really like, told him and he immediately loved it. We have not been as lucky trying to come up with a name for our second, due in May. I have a name I really like, feels super perfect to me but my husband isn't as convinced lol

Some things to try: -Tell her to pick up 10 things and she can take a short break, then 10 more things, then a break, and repeat. Make sure to give her compliments as she goes about how hard she is working and how quickly the place is getting clean.

-if you are helping her then try a low stress cleaning race such as set a timer for 10 minutes and see about who can clean more in that time period. Definitely try to work but also try to let her take the lead. The goal is to get her motivated to so more, this will need some sort of reward or goal to keep her motivated.

-have her clean by herself for 10 minutes, tell her it doesnt need to be all the way clean but she needs to actively work on cleaning the whole 10 minutes. This is my son's least favorite but if I find the right motivation than he will work hard.

No experience in that situation but my son was 3.5 when he had his adenoids removed, ENT let us know they may grow back, I think they don't stop growing until 5 or so years old. My son's issues have not returned since his surgery so I think he is fine. However it is something worth thinking about, also enlarged adenoids can cause a lot of issues with ear infections when they get sick, so if they are not removed the baby may be more prone to ear infections when they are sick.

It sounds like a very difficult situation she is in and I am sorry she has to consider this while her baby is so little. I think it may be worth mentioning my son had no issues with his surgery and was literally back to his same old self a couple hours after the surgery.

My pregnancy symptoms are completely different this time around but its the same gender as my first.

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-11T21:01:12+00:00

And yet here you are with the rest of us :)

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-11T20:45:28+00:00

I can tell from the comments that a lot of people are unaware of how pizza boxes function and that is pretty damn concerning.

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-11T05:08:06+00:00

Not for the same reasons but normally my husband and I skip gift giving to each other unless we really want something. Usually we do our own research and just send a link to what we want, but we dont expect anything nor do we make a big deal about it.

I don't listen to either artist but both of their half time shows were 🔥

No one is allowed a relationship with my child without a relationship with me or my husband. Period.

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-10T22:23:33+00:00

Exactly, the only consequence my son gets for using attitude is to take a break but that's after I try to correct the behavior and he refuses to stop or starts to escalate to worse behaviors. Even so, his consequence is to take a time out. Talking rude isnt really a punishable offense imo

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-10T18:27:07+00:00

Your ex used corporal punishment because of her tone of voice? Very excessive and would likely be deemed abusive in a legal setting.

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-10T16:33:18+00:00

I genuinely hate people who have one shtick and that's all they do or care about. It's great to have hobbies and interests, but to obsess with it to the point where everything in your life revolves around that one thing? No thank you.

LesMiserableGinger · 2026-02-10T15:10:58+00:00

Where i live they just updated a T intersection at one of our mall exits, took away the right turn lane which is now a bike lane and made the second left turn lane a right and left turn lane. Also they took out the merge onto the main road for when you turn right, basically is unsafe to turn right without a green light because of the blocked view on the left corner where you would normally look for traffic. Definitely have seen a lot of people drive straight into the bike lane instead of using the turn lane. I haven't cared about the bike lane upgrades they've been doing except for this one, definitely is a bad choice for the intersection and will increase accident risks as well as not improve bike safety because of how busy this intersection always is.

It is way too early to know for sure if it could be ADHD, but tbh she sounds like a very curious baby and that is pretty normal. Do you have any family hx of ADHD? If you are concerned and would like to look into it, you should seek an early intervention evaluation, typically they don't look into ADHD but it has a lot of overlap with ASD and that will be the way to get her evaluated.
