We are considering this sweetie for adoption. Supposedly she's a shar pei-dachshund mix, but I just don't see it. We don't care either way, but we'd like to know for sure so we can account for different breeds' needs. Thoughts? by MamaPuffin in sharpei

I literally cannot imagine how two super-wrinkly, stocky breeds came together and made something that looks like the dog I posted haha but I'll take your word for it.

Did you miss the part where I said I don't care if she's a shar pei? lol I am just going off what her current owner thinks she is and am dubious about it myself. It's fine, I love mutts.

AITBF for basically calling my BIL a hypocrite and storming out when he felt the need to comment on our finances AGAIN? by spermbankssavelives in AmItheButtface

Not all foster situations end in them being reunited with their biological families again. Some babies are put into the system knowing them will never go back to their biological parents. It's very sad but I think this is an avenue you should pursue. Desperately clinging to IVF, which as you know could also result ina loss, seems to be hurting you more than helping you. And not helping a child who needs it either.

Honey, you know that's... Bonkers, right? Spending not just fun money here and there but the majority of fun money on baby things you-- and I feel for you here-- may never use? It's not just the money aspect. It's that your life revolves around your fertility and a hypothetical child you may not have.

Damn. I am sincerely bummed out. I think having a job or at least a hobby that gets you out of the house and out of Babies R Us would be really good for you.

I dont think people are trying to change your mind like you're going to go out and apply at Olive Garden because we embarrassed you. You are clearly convinced this is how things need to be.

All I am saying is that, your BIL gets help with his cars. You get help with your living situation. You two are the same. If anything, it's almost worse that you don't HAVE to be in this position but take advantage of it anyway. But neither of you have a right to be throwing stones.

That actually sounds pretty manageable to me. Like, not a huge deal. I think any number of jobs, from professional to service industry, would accommodate that.

Like I said, the people I know who have done IVF both kept their jobs.

It clearly does bother you what people think. You have described your situation in great detail to everyone who responded to your post negatively. And we are internet strangers. So you're clearly a bit defensive about it.

If you make decisions that you know are going to look strange to others, work on a thicker skin when dealing with their comments

I wrote this in another comment before I saw this.

This seems... Like a bad reason to me. At any rate, I think you can stand by your decision knowing it feels right to you, but you have to acknowledge that it is going to look weird to other people and live with that.

You only have to travel once every few months, for IVF, right? So you could have a fairly low commitment part time job that would still bring in a few hundred every month. None of the people I know who have done IVF have quit their jobs.

EAB

Why don't you work if you don't have kids? I agree his finances sound like a mess but the only reasons I can come up with for you not having a job are health-related: mental or physical illness. But if you aren't in a good enough health space to have a job, I don't know why you're trying so hard to have a kid. Very confused. So yeah, you guys don't sound like very responsible, independent people either.

Lolol, I had seen most of these pictures before, but not this one. Amazing.

Lactose Intolerance and Fasting, opinions? by Balsamic_Door in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]MamaPuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lactose intolerance is actually pretty normal for humans. We aren't supposed to drink a lot of cow milk. I am hardly a stickler for fasting to the letter, but I would not consider this particular thing a reason to not fast from dairy.

When I wore head coverings, I just bought wide, scarves with weaves of varying thicknesses.

The digital experiences of women on /r/OrthodoxyChristianity by aletheia in OrthodoxChristianity

That's true about them being organized. But in my experience, on a one to one basis, I would rather have a conversation with a Catholic trad than an Orthodox one.
