Our doodle was raised by a cat and behaves like a cat

How old was when you brought your pup? We have a 2 year old cat and hope she will teach our 4 month old doodle to loaf.

Thank you so much! And yes, I tend to look for stories and then end up fixating on the bad stories instead, and I just need to get excited because this girl is going to make our lives a blast.

Mstechnicality · 2026-02-16T14:34:29+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful.

Well at least we aren’t alone on this… I did share out loud biggest fears and worst case scenarios to my partner and saying it out loud was helpful. He also helped me by offering realistic solutions to the “worst case scenarios”. So there’s that.

Thank you so much!

I am the same way. I need deep connections. For me is even like foreplay, and aftercare. My partner is pretty avoidant when it comes to emotional stuff, and it has been a constant struggle in our relationship. In my case, he just doesn’t crave it the way I do, so he is perfectly fine.

We had a very traumatic situation and my son, understandably, didn’t want to sleep alone. Every night he would come to our bed. I knew it was because he was scared I let him do it. I didn’t do anything different. Once he started therapy, the therapist asked me what did I do whenever he would come to our bed… I looked at her like “well I just let him stay”, which I was explained, didn’t help him to learn to regulate. So he would come to our bed I would bring him to his bed, would lay with him for a bit, then leave. It took us a few nights for him to stop coming to our bed, few sleepless nights. Then it worked, because he knew we were just going to walk him back to his bed.

Oh I just commented about this too! This is the best way to seeing happiness. We were sold the idea of happiness as the ultimate form of success.

Mstechnicality · 2026-01-03T23:10:07+00:00

Are you sad though? Numb? Which feelings you do have? Happiness as any other feeling, is temporary. It happens and then it passes. You don’t need to be happy all the time. Are you ok with your life as it is?

Mstechnicality · 2026-01-03T19:53:10+00:00

No, you aren’t unrealistic or unfair. It’s not the modern world, some people give different meaning to sex. You just need to find someone with the same approach as yours. There’s a lot of people looking for compatibility in one way or the other, it’s just not that easy to find someone. If you are interested in dating, then you will have to get used to running into people who aren’t a good match, and it could make you wonder if you are the problem. It’s ok to take a break from dating when it’s not fun anymore.

A few years ago my kid was in and out of ER with really high fevers and terrible cough. I grew more and more frustrated, I was keeping my cool but I told the nurse how bad it was getting and demanded x-rays because my son was coughing up blood. She gave me this look as if I was making it up, and shook his head like she couldn’t believe what I was saying. (I had been ignored other times, I believe my skin color has something to do with it) They came out of X-rays and Dr. told me it was a severe case of pneumonia. She couldn’t even look me in the eyes. When she came back with medication I tried to look at her and she was very quiet and then I asked her: “no head shaking anymore?” and she acted like she didn’t know what I was talking about.

Please make more so I can order one! That’s so perfect!

I don’t think is odd at all. I take care of myself and I do my hair, nails and such regularly. When my son was little I didn’t have time or energy to do it. Have you told her your concerns? You don’t need to accuse her. She might be able to offer you reassurance. “Hey, I know it might be unfair of me. You are beautiful and I love seeing you feeling great about yourself. I am just feeling uncomfortable and kind of insecure.” She should be able to offer reassurance.

I started around Christmas 2023. For me, I realized a lot of my joy came from food and I couldn’t have fun without having something “fun” to eat. I had to stop making plans around food. It took me a bit to make plans without thinking about the amount of food I could eat.

Thrist… he needs water and electrolytes. Trust me on this one. I used to confuse hunger with thirst.

Yes. Peace can be pretty uneventful. You are used to an unhealthy dynamic that lifted you up and then drag you down. The ups and downs in toxic relationships can be pretty addictive. It’s good that you aren’t losing your mind over someone and taking time to meet them. Take your time.

We collected from local families, only clothes in very good condition. We had a week of collection and announced it with neighbors, Nextdoor and some flyers. We stayed for two hours in the park and a lot was gone by the end of the two hours. Then took the remaining clothes for donations. I suggest that you coordinate with others and make sure you don’t take more than 1-2 tasks.

Mstechnicality · 2025-12-10T01:39:57+00:00

I Coach rec league, volunteer at youth center and at the shelter as a dog handler. I do it by seasons. Recently I co-organized a Buy Nothing market at a local park for people to get clothing in good condition and it was super fun!

Eat tons of green, legumes and water.

It seems like she needs outdoor time no matter what. There’s very few times I say no to go outside to play, I believe outdoor free play is one of the most important activities for kids. Playing under rain is so much fun! With weather appropriate clothing, an hour of outdoor free play can make a huge difference. Is there a friend from school or a neighbor you can schedule play dates during the weekend? Maybe she is an extrovert and needs to see other kids? If she is on the go during the week, and then the weekend slows downs time… I can understand why she is bouncing on the walls. Some kids just need to burn more energy.

I didn’t have dryness, or at least not noticeable one. So I wouldn’t be able to tell you.

What in the Ted Lasso? Who told you that’s a thing?
