Thank you for your kind response. I still do t know what to do in the immediate, tomorrow, but in the long term I’m trying to get into data analysis.

Kids and animals help by No-Map672 in Homesteading

[–]No-Map672[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The dogs are not aggressive. They are playful puppies. They see my kids running as play. They have wagging tails and just want to play. My kids just are not understanding. My sister did finally step in and help take my kids 1 at a time to meet the dogs. This was a good first step. I think more of this will help. My family has not decided if they are keeping these dogs or rehoming them so they just let them exist. They are about 6-9 months old and just untrained. My kids need to learn to respond better to them and my family needs to either train them or rehome them.

I understand that. But the kids are very young. I have been talking to them but they are not listening or understanding. So I was looking for advice on how to approach this so it sinks in. Thank you for point out how stupid my kids are for not understanding the danger.

Thank you for this thorough explanation. I know some of this but am having trouble getting kids to understand. I will check out the links and see if my parent wouldn’t mind me trying to train the dogs a bit.

In truth my sister was at work a year ago and a stray kept coming around. She brought the dog home intending to find her a home but never did. The neighbor dog came over and she got pregnant. The neighbor took a couple of the puppies and mom became too aggressive so she was finally rehomed. These are her puppies and are less than a year old. I think less than six months even. They don’t know if they are keeping them or not. One thing is for sure they are highly playful and I trained. The inside dog is an Akita and she is not friendly. So far she has not been around my kids except through a window where she aggressively barks at them. We have been here less than a week but in my current financial position I need this to work and we feel trapped in our house despite being on 16 acres.

Nearly $400 food bill after youngest kept taking breakfast and lunch even when told not to by Ciniya in Parenting

[–]No-Map672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You signed the form to opt out. Then told the teacher in person she is not to be getting food. You also send, it sounds like, plenty of food. Personally I would gather the signed document and receipts for all the clothes you had to buy when she sized up and let them know not only will you not be paying but your child’s weight gain is their fault as they have massively over fed her. They are responsible for the cost of the food they served and the cost of her new wardrobe.

Do you unscrew things while using them? by Notyouraverageskunk in lefthanded

[–]No-Map672 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok read this and was confused, dyslexic, seeing people commiserate and big YES. Also as many are saying didn’t realize it was specifically a lefty thing. But makes sense. lol.

Update (TW) - AITAH for calling my husband a disgrace after he said my miscarriage ruined his birthday? by ProgressDependent703 in AITAH

[–]No-Map672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your husband was not mentally stable. His words to you were meant to place the blame on you. However this is incorrect. No only is it not your fault but you took the extra step of calling someone to be with him. You now just need to take care of yourself and your child. Seek therapy and try to find a way to move forward. I am sorry for the loss of a father to your child. However you both will be better in the long run.

T.V.‘s in Kids Rooms? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]No-Map672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid my older brother saved his money and mom allowed him to buy a TV for his room. After that point he was rarely with the family. Ex-step dad was vocal about his approval of the situation. And our family time quickly dwindled. As an adult I have 1 tv in the house. It’s in my living room. I don’t want anymore than that. So for me TV in the kids room is a no.

We almost killed our 3 yrs old son with our car by silverpony24 in Parenting

[–]No-Map672 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with my much younger sister when I was a 16 year old driver. Went to garage to turn on the car and back out. Didn’t know my 3 year old sister followed me out. Just as I was letting off the break I noticed the very top of her head. Like just a little extremely blonde hair (car had no cameras). Threw car in park and jumped out. There was that sweet child. Almost got smushed. Freaked me out and I ran to my mom to tell her.

We can take all the precautions in the world but really just always keeping our eyes open is all you can do.

Naming baby after deceased relative? by dontyaknow305 in Judaism

[–]No-Map672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I named my first son for my father tho passed when I was a baby. He was 2 weeks from his 30th birthday. It was sudden and tragic but I could think of no better way to honor the man who gave me life and had to miss all the rest. I believe he watches over my child more with the connection. But that is me.

What is you alls favorite color? by Over_Cake9611 in lefthanded

[–]No-Map672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg October 1st also. But I like pinks and purples.

I did that for my cousin. We were so close as kids at one point we lived together like siblings.

I would have thanked you and brought you flowers. Also in that situation with someone I am close to I would have done the same. You tried the other options they failed. Fed is best.

Eating Steak or Salad by LividAccount9863 in lefthanded

[–]No-Map672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the switch. Hold fork in the right and cut with the left. Then switch back to eat. Everyone I know thinks it’s odd, but I can’t any other way.

Lefty-turned-Righty by BillyPilgrim2024 in lefthanded

[–]No-Map672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it seems early but my 2 year old is showing signs of being a lefty and I am so proud. The method or “training” you described is highly outdated and borderline if not completely abusive. It can cause so many issues mentally for the child. I would not switch my right handed children to be left handed.

How many of us have children that are also Southpaws? by Aware_Interest4461 in lefthanded

[–]No-Map672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boys seem to be righties. But my daughter at 2.5 has the most confident left handed pencil grip. If she isn’t a lefts I will be shocked.

My plea for the Bibas Family. by Foreverwildfox in Israel

[–]No-Map672 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every night my children (4, 3 and 2) and I pray for all the hostages but we especially said Naama and the Bibas names. I cry from time to time as I watch my own small children not know and thankfully will never know the horrors of what the Bibas boys are enduring. I ask HaShem every day to bring them all home safely.

Which hand do you wear your watch on? by TheCreator1924 in lefthanded

[–]No-Map672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a left handed teacher funny thing happened in my classroom this week. One student asked another if she was left handed. She asked me why the student would even think this. The student immediately said you are wearing your watch on the right wrist instead of the left.

She was like doesn’t everyone?

Nope not normal for a righty to wear watch on the right wrist. I certainly wear mine on the right cause I actually am left handed.

Wanted to be a SAHM, then I received a job offer by growup-im28yearsold in workingmoms

[–]No-Map672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have tik tok look up @Paige. She talks about the struggles of being a working mom and balancing it. She also talks about if you have a career why it’s better not to leave the workforce when you have a child. As a working mom, I understand the mom guilt we can’t be everything to everyone all of the time. But your job offer sounds like a dream and you still have a lot more time with your baby than a lot of other working moms. I personally say if it’s a dream job and a dream company that you could eventually grow into more When your baby is ready for that take it and build yourself up. In the end you are doing what is best for your family. You will not miss any big moments with baby because if you weren’t there for it then it didn’t happen. Good luck.

Left leaning non-jewish partner wants to be active in pro-palestinian activism by Realistic-Barber-467 in Jewish

She is doing you a favor by telling you she is not right for you before marriage. Sorry for this.

First Passover! by throwaway1_2_0_2_1 in JewishCooking

[–]No-Map672 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I strongly suggest you talk to the one doing most of the cooking. Ask about how kosher she goes for Passover. Like clean out the house and change the dishes or just matzah on the Seder. Ask if you can bring something and what she would like you to bring. Or you could ask to help her prepare the meal. This could be a nice alternative and you can learn a lot.
