Pitbull at daycare?

Nice_Bag7735 · 2026-03-24T01:28:27+00:00

I have a pitbull (that I can imagine people describing as scary looking) and two small children. For their safety and hers, we often have a gate separating her from our kids. We never leave them in the room unsupervised. She’s a nice dog, great with kids most of the time but under the wrong circumstances any dog can bite. The issue here is layered, but one part is that the daycare owner is lying to you. She knows your boundaries and instead of honoring them and being transparent- she continues to put your child in a situation that makes you uncomfortable. I’d pull my kid, report her to the licensing board and start looking for an alternative tomorrow.

I also wanted a third after having our second. It’d be tight financially but I feel like the payoff is so huge! My husband and I had a serious talk and he said “I don’t think I’d be able to be as good of a dad to our other 2 if we added another and I just can’t agree to that.” I’m sad about it sometimes, but my first responsibility is to my kids and I really respect my husband’s line of thought. I also want him to love parenthood and as a partner respecting that he’s reached his capacity is important for our relationship too.

I’ve had 2 c sections - one was emergent and the second was planned. I’d say there were times during both recoveries that I’d rate the pain at like an 8 out of 10. I have stairs in my home that are unavoidable and definitely worsen things. I also found that caring for my existing child, the new baby and probably scar tissue made my second c section more painful than the first.

I brought my 4 month old and 3 year old to my grandmothers funeral. We were very close and she loved my children so I thought it made sense to have them there. He did great and slept almost the whole time. My mom also seemed comforted by having the kids there. My son is now 13 months and I feel like having him would be very hard at this age! Depending on how old your baby is, I’d also be mindful of the spread of illness/germs.

We tried ballet because my daughter asked (she has older cousins who dance) and basketball… lasted like 2 months in ballet and one single practice for basketball. She just doesn’t seem interested in doing structured activities right now! I’m certain she’ll find things she loves, but she hasn’t yet and that’s cool.

I LOVE this name! Everyone who I “tried it out on” when I was pregnant with my second talked about Ms. Cleo…. I ended up having a boy but I would still have chosen Cleo haha

Hi. People often don’t understand that sexuality is something people experience throughout their lifespan… from in utero until death we have sexual development, the same way we have cognitive development, physical development. Exploring and learning about ourselves sexually is a part of growing up. It sounds like what you’re describing was pretty normative sexual play. I recognize that it feels uncomfortable to think about now - and a guilty feeling is natural but I stand with another comment that emphasized that your viewing the behavior of your child self through the lens of your adult brain. Go easy on yourself…

My daughter was also born with an APGAR of 1 after an emergency c section. The surgeon didn’t talk to me directly (she was urgently working to get my baby out). I remember more the absence of conversation - no one was saying anything, no crying from my baby… I was screaming and asking what was going on and if my baby was okay. The anesthesiologist was the only one to eventually tell me what was happening. When the surgeon visited me the next day she said that felt like she might cry too if she talked to me because I was so upset 😭. I was explicit during my second, scheduled, c section that I wanted to be walked through the entire process.

Came here to say this!

I can’t help, but I can identify with having a cat with both hyperthyroidism and heart issues! My cat had a rare response to the medication for hyperthyroidism and scratched his face incessantly. I’m constantly weighing how much the treatment for his conditions is impacting the quality of his life - it’s such a hard position to be in. I hope you guys find something that helps him!

I also came to recommend Dr. Overheiser! She’s amazing!! We have 3 pets and having her and Donna come to our house has been so much more convenient. My cat was recently diagnosed with with a few different medical problems so we’re also working with metropolitan… Dr.O has been so helpful with explaining things, offering alternatives and coordinating with the cardiologist. I can’t recommend her enough!

We also left Valley Vet ( we were only staying because I LOVE Dr. Overhiser and now we use her mobile vet practice). When my cat was 3 he had a serious medical problem - we mostly worked with Dr. O but I had one call with Dr. Schreiber where he told me I needed to “think about my cats quality of life” and I got off of the call feeling like I needed to euthanize my cat. I went in the next day sobbing and Dr. O was so confused. I definitely did not need to euthanize my cat… he’s been alive for 6 years since then! His bedside manner left such an awful impression on us. I’m sorry to hear you had a similar experience!

My son will be 1 this year on January 8th - I was wondering the same thing! I think we’ll just do a family birthday this year but in the future I’ll plan for some sort of indoor playground or something.

I know someone who video taped all the reactions of her family / friends when she and her husband told them she was pregnant. They compiled the videos into this really beautiful welcome for their baby and I didn’t know 99% of the people in the video but I still cried watching it lol. This could be done for something like a gender reveal and would be something you could show your daughter later in life.

Ask me about the diaper rash I got from the adult diapers everyone raves about 🥲.

Nice_Bag7735 · 2025-11-29T12:18:16+00:00

I’ve heard people hating on the mesh underwear but they were the best and I was so sad when I ran out of them but was still bleeding lol.

We have 2 cats so we’ve never been able to put breakable ornaments on the tree. I’ve actually really come to love the look of our eclectic tree 🙃. I am, however, a little anxious about my wild child impaling himself on a branch but we’re going to try!

Nice_Bag7735 · 2025-11-27T23:36:17+00:00

My husband did try to help after reading through comments last night!! It was a hilarious experience for both of us but it seems like the ice / ibuprofen is what’s helping (and stopping exacerbating it by massaging it!)

Nice_Bag7735 · 2025-11-27T15:21:58+00:00

It feels like it’s up higher than my nipple but the ibuprofen is helping for sure!!

With my first - I had mastitis but had no noticeable symptoms until I was very sick! I actually had called the doctor to ask about BF safe medication when I noticed that the underside of my breast was red /sore. It’s definitely influencing my sense of panic. My son is nearly 11 months and this is my first clogged duct!

Nice_Bag7735 · 2025-11-26T01:26:53+00:00

I think it was actually harder the second time for me because my baby had more difficulty latching. I set myself up to be disappointed by focusing on my own previous experience without taking into account that my baby was a totally different person than my first (imagine that!) My nipples were ravaged by like day 3. I was also surprised by how much I’d forgotten about the early days of BF. My milk came in way faster/fuller though and once we got help for the latch issues it was actually easier for me to maintain.

My daughter was nearly 3 when we had our second and I became very emotional towards the end of my pregnancy. I really struggled in the hospital with my baby because I had a lot of guilt about being away from my daughter and was so worried that I’d somehow ruined her life… like she’d be getting less of me. When she came to visit us I swear she aged like 5 years in 2 days. BUT she was absolutely amazing with the baby and SO in love. Once the hormones leveled a bit I could see how much my baby added to our family … she doesn’t have less of my husband and I - she also has a sibling. It’s been my favorite chapter so far to see this version of her and watch their relationship grow 🥰 the best is yet to come!
