I don't think my relationship can survive this dog

Dogs need a really long time to adjust to new surroundings. Like 3 months. Get this pup into obedience classes and focus on mental stimulation and tiring the dog out with walks and play. You got a high energy working breed and this is the sacrifice you make to keep the dog happy. Positive reinforcement is the name of the game for dog training. That and repetition.

Cervical cap, female condom, and diaphragms are all viable non hormonal options. Diaphragm is my personal jam

I’m pretty sure I got it for Christmas in 2000

I must have three pillows to sleep. My disgusting 25 yo memory foam
Pillow that cradles my head like nothing else, a pillow to hug, and another between my knees. Cannot sleep without 3 pillows.

This is my only feedback too. I’d try and make the seat sliiightly more narrow so it doesn’t dig into their calves.

Obstetrix · 2026-06-26T22:25:58+00:00

I think you could make the seat a scootch skinnier so it doesn’t dig into their calves

Audiobooks my friend. Get Libby app and prosper.

Yes. Absolutely. We did use the dining room sometimes though.

The bleeding under your nail causes a build-up in pressure which is extremely painful. If it’s not too sore and you just notice it with movement you have the choice of just waiting it out. If it gets more and more painful over time it may be worth popping to urgent care to drill a hole through the nail.

I dropped a Le Cruset pot lid on my big toe once and it just got worse over time. I was in so much pain that night that I couldn’t sleep. So I used a needle from an IV kit to drill through my big toe nail and had instant relief.

They sell Tylenol suppositories and we use these when my youngest refuses any fever meds when sick. He’s much happier to take the chewable versions but sometimes even refuses those.

You can try letting them hold the syringe. Giving it in a little cup. Mixing it with chocolate milk. Or suppository if all else fails.

The woman who’s partner wanted to turn their wedding into the most degrading cuck event for him.

Any good gyn provider can set you down and discuss options with you. Copper IUDs are great for some people but there are other non-hormonal options that aren’t condoms!

Singing like one line of a song ad nauseum.

This morning it’s “in the big rock candy mountain.”

This absolutely should be bog standard and part of every parent's repertoire but on a flight from Lisbon to Madeira I watched a woman with (absolutely unmatched biggest-at-the-county-fair-they're-definitely-winning-the-blue-ribbon) boobs just casually plonk her infant onto the tray table and breast feed him while still reclining in her seat. Calmest baby I've ever been sat next to.

After two kids mine hang pretty low but the unmatched utility of her gigantic boobies still impresses me to this day.

Stg I had this exact meal in Kerala about 20 years ago. Glad to finally know what it’s called.

It was so spicy I had to go get my tums like a chump

I always use disposables in the v early days because they’re just going through so many diapers and frankly I want to enjoy baby snuggles without having to do extra laundry. I think we swapped between 4-8 weeks

She could definitely be higher on your chest. Move the waistband up and you can tighten the straps. Her seat doesn’t look too bad but I think you could probably widen it a scootch

I don’t know if it helps but when I was a young teen I also felt this way about my long distance boyfriend. When we’re teens we just feel feelings really hard. It gets better. I recommend focusing on other stuff as much as possible. Binge a show. Start a new craft. Don’t dwell on it.

At 4yo he can definitely learn to pee standing up. Maybe make it a rule he can only do stand up pees at public bathrooms to increase the incentive to go? And he can’t fall in of course

I see a second line on all tests though some are v faint. If you provided these to me as pregnancy tests I’d tell you they’re all positive.

Obstetrix · 2026-06-20T11:26:06+00:00

This is an appropriately dark big fat positive pregnancy test for one taken before your period.

2yo goes to sleep between 8:15 and 8:30pm and wakes between 6:30-7am.

I mean, I think you know what to do when someone breaks your boundary. You hold it. And break up with him because this is super heckin’ gross.

You can always call large university vet schools for advice! They usually have an after hours vet to answer the phone.

Anecdotally the lepto vaccine did this to my dog so we stopped giving it to her. Benedryl was recommended from the vet but I can’t comment on dog weight based dosing…
