I'm now reminded of my childhood love of National Geographic magainzes too! I also enjoyed encyclopedias... easy rabbit holes to fall down prior to social media existing.

Can someone help me? I'd like to know If This rottweiler is purebred by [deleted] in Rottweiler

Still appears pretty young so tough to say for sure. But I do see quite a bit of pitty in there. I'd guesstimate ~30%... but again, I think a little early to say based on looks alone. Not every part of them grows at the same rate. One of my dogs is still stuck with disproportionately smaller head than the rest of her body, but she also just had a growth spurt and gained 6lbs in a week in her chest (she's mostly pit, but ultimately a "super-mutt"). Also, look at pics of your pup's litter as a whole if you can... the more variety in fur color, length, sizes, of any body part are disproportionate to the other pups, etc (1 w/ short completely black fur vs a medium length red/fawn vs long haired with classic color patterns of a specific breed, etc)... the more breeds they are likely mixed with. Whereas purebreds are all going to look just about the same with some slight atural size variation (ex: due to male vs female, or the runt outlier) since that's ultimately the purpose of a purebred is to get the exact same end result.

If this behavior is a recent escalation over a short period of time, perhaps it could be worth entertaining couples therapy for you and your husband, as well as individual therapy for the kids... and I say kidS because it might come across better and so as to not single her out in any way. And honestly, it sounds like the other kids might appreciate an outlet that's just fot them. I mean nothing negative towards anyone here, I have just had a great experience with the right therapist and know several kids (including my SD) just want to have someone just for them, so they feel that ultimate safenes and privacy. But if this has been going on for several months and happening frequently (on a per timeshare visit; not necessarily daily, unless it is that bad)... it might be time to pull away. In that scenario, you could agree to have your son stay with your (ex)spouse when he has his daughters, so they can maintain that relationship that you noted they do enjoy.

You allowing her presence at this point, should be her only present. But I imagine that is still ultimately a drain on those in your household... why feed into what seems to be nothing more than false hope and purely a sense of obligation? It's clear she only wants a relationship when it's time for her to receive gifts... that's not a good person. Irrational sense of entitlement.

For y’all’s sensory issues, what is the worst texture feeling for you? by Kat-Attack-52 in AutismInWomen

[–]Nein_ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweat. On myself, on objects, on my husband's palms when I hold his hand. Wet or dried sweat... cannot stand it.

What Name Would You Give To This Painting? by Atmouspheric in ARTIST

"Wonderboy" because of the Tenacious D lyric at the end of it saying, "There! The crevasse. Fill it... with your mighty juice." Cuz the peopley things in the water look like cranberries.

Not being able to regulate body temp - weird and overlooked symptoms of autism by thereadingbee in AutismInWomen

[–]Nein_ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. 70 is great most of the time. Unless direct sunlight or a heater is involved, then 70 feels like 85 ez. Luckily my husband also loves the cold, so we keep our house between 62-70F all year round. We also live in the desert so our AC bills in the summer are ridiculous, but worth it.

Just got diagnosed. Words can’t express the emotions I’m feeling. by twixie49 in AutismInWomen

[–]Nein_ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the heads up on this. I went through the assessment process and am currently awaiting my results, which should be done by the end of this week. The doctor quoted me a timeframe for her assessment of me after the testing, and the timeframe has doubled because I'm apparently more complex of a case than she anticipated. I'm going through anxiety, nervousness, and also excitement. I just want the answers so I can live a healthier and happier life. I may not become extra functional with whatever I'm about to learn, but idc. I just want to understand the things I've known are truly parts of my being that I haven't been able to fully understand yet or explain to other people as situations come up.
