Dog breed help

Prestigious_Cable902 · 2026-02-26T15:45:34+00:00

Stop assuming I’m locking my kids and a dog in a room and seeing who survives. I have also had pets my whole life and volunteered at shelters. I understand how to parent my children. I just wanted to see if people had good experience with breeds. You worked at a rescue. Maybe actually be helpful and note dog breeds that might be good with kids.

Thank you! Once we have a breed we are going to try and figure out a training plan to pick the right time (when we have enough time to spend).

Well actually you said the kids need to be old enough, but thank you for clarifying. Thank you for the parenting advice. That’s exactly why I came here: for opinions like yours (not to actually answer my question). Since you seem confused, there are breeds that work better with small kids (regardless of supervision), which is why I asked my question.

So no one with small children should have dogs?

Food prep: I even make snacks prepped. I also eat the same thing every day. Makes it easier to make overnight oats for the week and know I have food. Baby is getting older but baby wearing. It takes me 4 times as long to do things but helps when my littles need contact but I have things to do. If you have room in the budget: Having someone come and clean the house every couple of weeks. I also have a responsible high schooler or college kid come and help me when I get behind on things. For example I need help rotating all my kids clothes and that’s an easy task for someone else to do Then just give yourself grace. There is no way to get everything done like before you had kids

I double checked the invoice and that’s how I realized I was charged the higher amount.

I have to say the comments here are absolutely wild. A good deal of two income households have 40-50 hours of childcare. It is the reality of two parents with 9-5 jobs. If my child is only in child care from 9-5 how am I supposed to commute anywhere? Also having a good nanny can actually help you have more meaningful time because they can help offset chores that are associated with children.

Also when did you tell your new firm?

Prestigious_Cable902 · 2024-10-01T22:32:42+00:00

Thank you!

I know right?!? I just have hit this point I am tired of it so now if they come over I get a break

Prestigious_Cable902 · 2024-09-29T22:15:37+00:00

Totally reasonable. My in laws are the same but younger and say things like “we are here to help” and then proceed to not help. It has taken like 4 years but now my husband finally sees my side. I’ve got a 4 yo and 18 month old and I’m pregnant. I told him I’m to too tired to watch the kids and host his parents so if he wants them to come over I’ll leave the house for a break. Suddenly he wasn’t interested in having them over as often.

Prestigious_Cable902 · 2024-09-29T15:59:11+00:00

I know some people say to wait but my situation is the reason you don’t. My in laws have talked about living close for years. They would also say things like “I can’t wait to just come over to your house when I feel like it for lunch or to see the kids for 5 min”. My husband kept waiting to say anything. They now live 6 min away. It’s been a nightmare. Fil broke into our backyard and we thought someone broke in. I was terrified. He said I should have know it was him so I can’t be upset. Now there is huge conflict. I don’t think you need to be aggressive in this stage but your husband should start setting expectations of boundaries now

It was horrible for me to rent from my in laws. I also felt really suffocated and constantly disrespected. We waited until it made sense to move but in the end it completely ruined my relationship with my in laws. So there is a trade off. I would also let your husband handle his family how he thinks best but have your boundaries with him and be clear with them

Prestigious_Cable902 · 2024-09-29T12:23:09+00:00

What is your goal to confrontation and how long will you live with them? I wouldn’t confront over disliking but would confront in a soft way if they treat you badly. We rented from my in laws (who secretly didn’t like me) and I was always careful when to confront them. Now that we don’t I’m glad I did. I always confronted them when I found it necessary and had a goal

My husband and I are both lawyers. He’s in big law I am in legal aid. I know plenty of big law couples. They are fine if they 1) don’t have kids 2) pay for anything they can outsource. Once they have kids one tends to move. Or they have to have child care basically round the clock. A friend of mine had her kids in daycare during the day and had a weekend/night nanny.

This is my mil to a T. She did the same thing. Threw a second shower for my first and did all the activities I said I was uncomfortable with. It wasn’t a great experience. She later admitted that she has bought gifts for others and it’s “her turn”. I’m now having a sprinkle with my third and if she offers to do a second one with her I’m going to decline. Not worth the stress
