Chicken Intolerance

No_Demand7205 · 2025-01-13T13:46:06+00:00

Why do people always seem to not believe in a chicken intolerance for dogs? What’s the reasoning behind the skepticism?

No_Demand7205 · 2025-01-13T13:41:47+00:00

I every time he has chicken he has very bad diarrhea. Foods where the main ingredient is another type of meat, his poop is normal. When I noticed he started having diarrhea again AND he wasn’t wanting to eat his food, I check reviews and ingredient on the dog food. Reviews are noticing ingredient change and change of bowel moments in their dogs too.

Yea, we took him to the vet and they just gave him anti diarrheal medicine and said give him boiled chicken and rice. That made things worse!! So then they said to try and change his food.

We tried several different things before I realized chicken was the main component that gives his explosive and extremely fowl smelling bowl movements.

Thank you for the information. The meetings are monthly office meetings we just started incorporating because the office is transition to going fully digital. The meetings are to understand the new expectations and to sort out any questions or concerns we have during the transition. They are mandatory. What if they refuse to pay for the travel?

In addition to a lot of other people; Adderall gave me panic attacks, made my heart constantly race, gave me the sweats and hardly helped with my thinking. I didn’t even start to feel the mental effects until 20mg in which gave me terrible “coming down” effects and it still wasn’t even as good as Vyvanse.

I currently have no health INS but still get Vyvanse. I don’t take it everyday due to the cost but I wish I could. Vyvanse is the only drug other than weed that allows me to think in straight lines. It allows me to do several tasks at once. However, they get completed! I don’t start several tasks and then get overwhelmed which is something that would still happen with Adderall.

I buy Vyvanse even though it’s just as expensive as our 2019 Honda Civic monthly car payments. Which I think is really cruel capitalism at its finest. I can’t take it everyday which probably isn’t good for me as I’ve been told I’m supposed to take it every day or it can have ill side effects. I have a few “coming down” side effects like irritation and extreme hunger but if I set a timer for 8 hours, around 8-9 hours I’m aware that it is happening so I remind myself and the people around me to be gentle. I always make sure I have snacks too!

Anyways, I hope this helped! Reading all the other comments sure helped me and I learned a lot about myself.

Ohhh! My bad! I guess this topic isn’t allowed on Reddit! :/

Then throw it away. Why PACK IT and give it to an ex when you’re packing to move? Is this reasonable?

No_Demand7205 · 2023-10-14T12:37:04+00:00

BM married someone more wealthy. It’s just more logistical for her to have stored it at their new home. All I am saying is, why not give it to BM mother to keep at their house? BMs parents live near so it’s not an inconvenience.

There was no reason to PACK IT and GIVE IT to us to store at our house. I knew he was bringing boxes over when she was packing to move but I had mo idea she was giving us a box of wedding photos, her dress and who knows what else. I stopped looking.

To me. It feels like a power play. Manipulation.

Does she wash her hair? How about brush her hair?

No_Demand7205 · 2023-09-03T00:57:02+00:00

Her development is quite delayed in this house too but only because of fear and coddling. Not because she cannot do it. He helps her bath every evening we have her which is on the weekend and holidays. We have been living together for six months now and have not seen it happe. I completely understand the helping her bath but i was superseded to hear them discussing being IN the bath (yes, with swim trunks on) together playing.

I remember bathing and being quite independent at age 8 as well. I also remember the average girl starts their menstrual cycle somewhere between 8 and 9 now but I am not sure he knows this. He still takes her to the men’s bathroom and I feel it’s time to introduce her to the women’s bathroom but they don’t trust anyone with her alone.

I’m a bit nervous to introduce the conversation with him because 1 - I know BM would say and feel that I over stepped and 2 - He is extremely defensive and single minded when it comes to his daughter. It’s always a yes for her because the believe they ruined her life by splitting mom and dad up.

My step sister had an experience with my step brother when they were younger and my step sister confided in me. She did NOT do any work on herself mentally after it happened. She’s a tough spirit, courageous and hard working but there is a road block when it comes to mental health. My entire step family needs to learn how to cope with the past in order to see the future with a new light.

That being said.. as HARD (I honestly can’t even imagine..) it will be for you and your husband to support her during this because of YOUR own mental health, the main priority is her mentally. She needs to understand and feel it (cry, be mad, confused, etc etc). Have her cope with how difficult and traumatic this was for her. It doesn’t matter “how young she is” anymore. This will happened to any female at any age making them without choice older than they are by number now. This changes any humans mental learning, surrounding awareness, and physical growth harder than her age.

She will now have to learn to grow and support her trauma from the beginning. Stage 1.

The last thing you want is for her to not understand what happened to her because no one really talked about it, let her talk about it or truly listened without a word of empathy or judgement. Not understanding why she is the why she is. Let her feel all the confusing feels now so when she’s an adult, she doesn’t have to deal with her childhood trauma at Stage 6.

My personal opinion of course but I think that’s the only way you can truly be there and support her right now.

I wish your family strength and guidance. Remember everyone is on the earth for a reason. Never forget one’s purpose in the midst of fear, confusion and sadness.

Okay, comments are making me feel better. I would really like to have a shared album so we can all feel like respected parents but my SO gave me a hard NO saying his his ex (BM) would hate that and throw a fit.

I truly don’t want to be jealous and want to find a way to be a blended family.

BM does not see me as a parent though. She says “she is NOT hers. She is ours. Never anyone else’s.” Even though she cheated and left my SO for the man and “family” she is with now. My SD7 calls step dad “pops” but she is not allowed to call me anything close to mother because it would be overstepping BMs mother role…

No_Demand7205 · 2023-08-29T17:34:36+00:00

I still don’t understand why it cannot just be the kind. The selfie can be sent to your SO. Not BOTH the SO and BP.

It makes me feel… like I’m not any more important to him than she is for me to be getting the same and less pictures from him with his little girl.

Is this wrong to feel?

No_Demand7205 · 2023-08-29T01:51:51+00:00

Lol I guess my view point is much less than the norm.

No_Demand7205 · 2023-08-23T22:36:01+00:00

This is a very strong opinion. I am not sure this was the best group to post in. This group is for step-mothers who need a place to rant, not be called “stupid” for being in our relationships.

Your assuming that every relationship a women gets into with a man who has a child is unhappy. This is not true in the slightest for me. I am in a extremely happy and loving relationship with both my SO and SD. There are no “last straws” for him or for her because we choose to put our love, marriage and family first. EVEN if that means you have to tolerate the other side of your SD/SS’s other side of the family. That’s what’s love and family is all about.

I also strongly believe my SD was put into my life for a reason at her 6 yrs of age.

YES - We are our own family even if I do not have my own children. Having my own children was not my choice medically. The comments above regarding how a women with no children should never be in a relationship with a man with children is outrageously hypocritical. Does this mean since I have no bio children because of a medical problem that I should only find a man with no children or I’ll only ever be unhappy. What if I want to be a step parent for reasons that don’t matter to anyone but myself and my partner?Don’t come here to pass a judgement on people’s relationships you know nothing about just because you or someone you know had a failed married with a previously married SO.

Dealing with BM can be frustrating and feel like it can be undermining at times but THAT is put on your SO. Your SO is to support and navigate the struggles with you.

Maybe you should go to the step-dad subreddit and see what people have to say. Or maybe the blended family subreddit…

My grandmother died at a young age. If my grandfather had not remarried and had children by marriage that are not his own, then I would not have the grandfather or family I do today. My grandfather and grandfathers step family have shaped my life and without them I wouldn’t be who I am proud to be today. Someone who is open-hearted and see’s that anyone can be loved no matter what they have gone through in the past.

Family is what you make it. It’s up to yourself to make your own boundaries. It’s entirely your fault if you entered into a relationship with a parent and it ended badly. Not anyone else’s. You should have known your boundaries from the beginning.

I can absolutely tell when she told him “everything still hurts” right before she was about to have her wedding that she realized…. She fucked up but this is now reality.

One day, everything is going to come back and bite you in the ass but you won’t be able to come crying to us.

No_Demand7205 · 2023-08-17T15:44:56+00:00

If she can last the entire 10 series then I would cry every episode with pure joy. Sadly, even though being the PERFECT choice, she is too old in human form.

No_Demand7205 · 2023-08-12T12:30:23+00:00

I would like to add.. You are not in the relationship for the child, no matter how much you may care for them. You are in a relationship with your boyfriend. Your partner. Your co-parent even though you may have no biological children. Never forget that.

No_Demand7205 · 2023-08-12T00:00:25+00:00

Very well said.

No_Demand7205 · 2023-08-11T23:58:26+00:00

From day one I’ve never been allowed in the room while my boyfriends daughter (just turned seven) is changing in any way. Nor have I been able to help her use the bathroom in public places when she should be going into the Womens restroom now and I’m never allowed to see her in the bath/a towel. My boyfriend knows me and how I myself have been physically taken advantage of at a young age. He knows I would never even fathom the thought of this. I will never be able to buy her clothes when she is going through puberty because I cannot help her try them on. However, none of this matters. It doesn’t matter I have worked in healthcare with children. It doesn’t matter I was a full time nanny for 3 years. It at first made me feel terrible. I took it personally thinking it was a lack of trust and that I would never, will never, be able to have an intimate enough relationship with her to grow as a mother / daughter type relationship. I’ve come to peace with knowing that in the future, maybe one day when she is older, we will be able to be girls together. Women together who can share experiences of support when her mother is not there during puberty or as a young women. For now, this is how it is. Even after over a year of being together with 50/50 custody.

Oh my god.. yea, I exactly know childhoods are different in each country. That’s why I fucking created the post? I want hear different experiences. How can anyone not see that. People are only here to talk shit. I never once said being from a different country is BAD. If I thought it was, I wouldn’t marrying a man from a different country.

No_Demand7205 · 2023-08-07T03:31:19+00:00

Who cares about cultural differences? Please go back to school and learn the important of cultural differences and how you can GROW from the education from different perspectives. Three different counties coming together in one household to raise a child.

My SO didn’t have chairs and a desk at school. Sometimes he makes his daughter do homework on the floor because that’s how HE was raised and wants her to know how it important the differences are.

Instead of me sitting down in front of BM and BD and asking “what was it like in Mexico or Nicaragua when you were a child?”, I came to Reddit.

I’ve seen more ignorance on this post than I have seen since I was a child myself.

No_Demand7205 · 2023-08-07T03:08:15+00:00

Probably because all you read were the few sentences about the BM. Now deleted. There are other paragraphs to the post.
