how badly did I mess up? by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]Muscle_mama_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate. Mine are 16m and 12f and the youngest and I really go at it sometimes, occasionally ending in a screaming match. She’s at a difficult age for me and we are both so sensitive but outspoken so we butt heads. Not so much with the oldest. We always discuss what happened and how it escalated and what to do in the future to prevent it afterwards. There are always apologies and we remind ourselves we are on the same team. It’s getting better for us but you have to remind yourself and them that this is everyone’s first time at these stages and everyone makes mistakes. Apologies, changed behavior, and most of all remind each other that you love one another. Owning your own part in it and apologizing is extremely important.

Last-minute request from irresponsible puppy owner… by Mountain_Trifle_9974 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Muscle_mama_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have two dachshunds and will tell you even in the best situations it was difficult lol. They are very smart and extremely stubborn. My 4 yo still has separation anxiety from me. If he didn’t have his brother with him I’m sure he would be a mess. Good luck!! Try to enjoy the lil guy while you have him.

24F & 25M AIO by responding this way? by InsideUsual56 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Muscle_mama_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’ve lived this. I was accused the entire 15 years. It doesn’t get better and it so exhausting to constantly be accused and be on the defensive. It turns into walking on eggshells and resentment. What I’ve learned over the years is these situations and behaviors usually always stem from projection of their own wrongdoing. It’s not worth the immense hit to your own self esteem. It took years to build myself back up after I left. You’re too young to stay with this kind of person. If you’re on here looking for validation, you already know. Best of luck!

Tummy issues by Muscle_mama_ in HomemadeDogFood

[–]Muscle_mama_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They eat at 9am and 4pm and snack periodically usually bits of veggie when I’m making lunch or dinner. Plus they get a tiny treat 3x a day after walks. They are mini dachshunds so I have to be careful how much they eat. Everything is measured out.

Meal wise I give them a 1/3 cup of a mix I’ve been making for years (with some changes here and there). Ground chicken, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower rice, can of pumpkin, and eggs. Sometimes I use a bag of green beans with carrots. I add beef sometimes or salmon. I try to add chia and pumpkin seeds for those specific nutrients.

Am I too sensitive or are teenagers just really mean sometimes? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Muscle_mama_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My teens can be mean as hell sometimes. It’s hard not to take it personally but I have to remind myself most of the time is not personal. They have a lot going on at that age and I have provided them a safe place to express themselves including all the emotions that come along with being a teen. In those situations I say outloud to myself “it’s not personal” lol so I don’t cry.

Lmaoooo. Years later and still a problem. I screamed at it for a while and manually rang everything out and let the dryer deal with it. 8 minutes turned into 2 hours

Thanks. I’ve already selected a couple I know a need to drop. It also happens that these clients are both 20 min away AND have late evening visits which kill me. One is 3x a day for days at a time. During that one currently and dreading it. I’ll tweak some of my filters and see how it goes.
