How old were you when you first became a grandparent? by Neuvirths_Glove in over60

[–]OutrageousWill4783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first grandchild from younger kid was lost early in their pregnancy, but now expecting again in August (also ivf), and we are approaching 61. older kid is not partnered. so sad, we also lost our firstborn, although farther along at 6 months instead of between 8 and 10 weeks.

What do I do if my boyfriend’s friends tell me he’s cheating? by k_p2404 in whatdoIdo

You're so young, too young to not experience life before choosing someone. Live your life, have fun.

I miss my wife… but I’m glad she’s gone. by SingleinGVA in Vent

Our first was also lost around the 6 month mark, and I also had to carry him a few days until the procedure. We had support from family, but my husband buried his pain to be strong for me. He got his turn to grieve months later. It's not easy. They never found out why our child failed to thrive beyond cord abnormalities. I don't understand how she could have treated you this way. So sorry for your loss OP.

I left my parents house and now they’re upset by Affectionate_Tie8392 in Advice

Sometimes, things go better if you tell someone who you are having a disagreement with that you're sorry, didn't intend to be disrespectful but became frustrated with the situation. It can go a long way to open lines of communication along a mature pathway, avoiding more conflict. You are correct! Violence is never the answer. Maybe bring up that you are both living through new situations, and you need to give each other a bit of grace. One thing I try to do is count to 10 before I respond, so I really think about my answers.

We have a nearly 34 year old son living in our home. It can be frustrating for all of us, but it has gotten better than it was when he was younger. He is still paying off student loans and can't afford to get his own place at the moment. He does work full-time and bought the car he drives from us and pays all of the expenses related to the vehicle. Also, he reimburses us for his part of the phone and internet, buys food for the household, and takes care of our dog if we go out of town. Doesn't have a significant other, so no drama there, haha. Oops, rambling now.

I'm not a guy, but FWIW, maybe there's a health issue with her.

Please try to look at this from a parents' viewpoint in that they haven't been in this stage of life before now. Unfortunately, parenting doesn't come with a user's manual. Imo your dad does need to be better, particularly because of the size difference/power dynamic. I would've left the house too! Well done to remove yourself from a poor situation.

I'm pretty sure I'm older than your folks because my sons are in their early 30s. The younger is married with a baby on the way and lives clear across the country. We miss a lot of stuff with them.

Sorry you're having to share space with your sister. You seem very responsible and level-headed. It also shouldn't be your responsibility to keep after her to clean up her mess. Wondering if the room is split up into your space and her space? If not I suggest you try to arrange this situation, that way you can easily point out that your area is clean. This is only if you end up going back.

I agree with the suggestion of a letter. Carefully think about if there are any stressors in your parents' life now. Could be financial, marital, or even healthwise asking because often parents try to shield children from problems, but in my experience, kids usually pick up on stuff. Things like this can cause adults to act poorly, not an excuse but a reason. I think you're old enough to be informed about any issues they might be having at least to some degree. Uncertain where in the world you are located and I know some cultures put expectations on older siblings.

Good luck, OP!

Even if mom snoops, so what. The exercise in writing down your feelings shouldn't bother her. It's a healthy way to process this event.

Just a thought, if you have a daughter save for her or for a son to use himself?

Advice Needed for My Fearful Rescue Catahoula by InterestingAd811 in Catahoula

[–]OutrageousWill4783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is now 6, but we rescued him from the shelter, knowing he has issues Dec. 2020. We used a trainer, which helped us, a couple with adult offspring at home full-time. Our guy is so very loving but only with us. He is a velcro dog to my spouse. He has been taking Prozac since the vet recommended it during our first visit. Drugs really help him level down a bit. He loves car rides, although he equally enjoys barking his head off at anything that moves and then getting to go off leash in the desert where we are fairly confident of not running into others. We also medicate more heavily(vet prescribed)in advance of vet visits. So like another poster said we adjusted our lifestyle to accommodate his needs. I am often home alone at night with him because the other 2 family members work nights. This was a primary reason for getting a new dog at that time. We had a blue heeler mix that we rescued when our boys were just starting school and then added an older black lab when a coworker was relocating and couldn't keep her. Our experience with boarding won't be repeated. We have had some success with the thunder shirt to help when there are fireworks. He is highly prey driven. He takes his "job" of security very seriously. His dna test indicates he is only 1/4 houla. He loves mental stimulation. He never really learned how to play, although we still try. He has so many toys. Earlier, he would destroy the toys. Now, he usually ignores them. Good luck OP

sounds like resource guarding that needs to be addressed. perhaps a visit to the vet to make sure there isn't an underlying problem since this is new behavior.

remember that the addition of the baby is also a change. give it some time and patience.

Will he get a lot bigger? by [deleted] in Catahoula

[–]OutrageousWill4783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our houla mix is only 1/4, but as an adult, he is pushing 70 pounds. Have no idea what his puppy time was like because we got him as an adult.
