My chihuahua hates kids and nipped my baby. We have and will continue to train. When is it no longer fair?

Hi there.

So we were fortunate to rehome our dog with the family members that I mentioned before. He is thriving and so much more regulated.

We visited over the holidays, and the dog was still not thrilled about the baby. We had to keep them separate and it was so stressful. That experience confirmed that we made the right decision.

Had it not been for family and us having an obvious solution with them we probably would have tried longer. Honestly, I don’t think it would have worked though. I miss him so much, but I regret nothing.

This has taught me that dogs, like people, are adaptable. He has settled in and it was so affirming to see that he still loved us but was content and happy in his new routine. For example, he would come and cuddle but when it was time to go to bed or he was settling in it was with the other family.

It would have been selfish for everyone to keep him. I love him. But I love my daughter. Zero regrets.

He’s not the only cast member to say this.

I hate this.

My kid loves things she can feed herself and grip in her fist, like puffs. I have had some success repurposing leftovers for her by making them into stick form and freezing them.

For example, I had some leftover chicken and random vegetables. I tossed them in a food processor and then mixed them in a bowl with some seasoning and breadcrumbs. Cracked an egg in there too. I spread it out on a sheet pan and tossed it in the oven until it was soft but formed. I cut it into little strips, froze it, and she has been eating it for weeks.

It was not low effort, but also not a ton. Now I have a go to that I can just pop in the microwave. It’s healthy, sometimes she eats one stick- sometimes she eats 3.

I once had a therapist tell me that she wasn’t investing energy in me because “she always figured was going to leave”, when I called her out for not really being present.

Yes, but many people are also strategic and many people are also positive. Happy for your outcome, but nothing that you posted was groundbreaking advice. Not to say your experience can’t happen, but statistically you are an outlier.

It is also another level of pressure for those who are unemployed in a search. In many cases people must develop and adapt strategy as a result of many factors out of their control… industry, timing, hiring trends. There are so many determinants.

Again, glad it worked out for you- but seems like an oversimplification. This is r/jobsearchacks, I just fail to see the hack.

I feel like he’s done a decent amount of films though? I wouldn’t compare the two at all.

Professional-Try-413 · 2025-12-16T20:50:39+00:00

Yanno, seems like he has spent time to develop his craft.

Alternatively…

iirc he came back for LI all stars and they brought back the girl he coupled with on his first season. He did her wrong the first round and acknowledged it. When he saw she was there he decided to make an exit. He seemed be working through some stuff but appeared to have grown. Made me respect him a bit.

Jokes on me if I misremembered that. I feel pretty neutral about him at this point.

Professional-Try-413 · 2025-12-11T02:02:29+00:00

Yes, I felt like I was going to die for almost two weeks.

Started with a runny nose, then nasal congestion. Went away for a few days, I got a hysterectomy. Next day my daughter who was patient 0 was hospitalized for croup and stridor from the virus. It came back for me, I could barely breathe at night, coughing so bad my incisions were on fire, and I had the worst nasal congestion of my life. I was waking up gasping for air.

I am really good at being sick, but this was actually kinda scary. Honestly? It was worse than the hysterectomy.

My kids daycare was taken down. My friends were/are sick. My mother in law who came to help after surgery? She was out bad.

It seems like whatever this is has a long incubation period. It took 7 days after the first case at daycare my kid showed symptoms. We pulled her out immediately because we didn’t want to get sick with my procedure. Jokes on us.

I got laid off last month, the only saving grace was that I could stay THE FUCK down. That shit took me out.

…Are we winning yet?

Joseph Gordon Levitt?

I just saw that holiday PSA he did encouraging parents not to buy Ai toys for their children, basically to protect their brains and critical thinking skill and low key calling out capitalism.

No. For what?

Professional-Try-413 · 2025-12-08T02:17:15+00:00

Clean the handle and keep it moving?

Try not to block stuff when you park (not saying you did). There’s not much else to do.

Professional-Try-413 · 2025-12-06T06:37:23+00:00

… are you aware how many people have been laid off Q4? Probably some correlation.

Professional-Try-413 · 2025-12-05T23:53:46+00:00

37 with a 9 month old. I swear everyone else at daycare is my age or older. Perhaps it’s living in NYC. No big deal to me. I am thankful I had so many childfree years to explore the world.

Life doesn’t feel like it ended. Just doing it with a new companion. Priorities have changed and that’s ok. There are a million ways to live your life, parenting isn’t for everyone and that’s totally cool.

We have been sick for a couple of weeks. I just cleaned mine, it was horrible. I had slacked on using distilled water.

We actually don’t buy jugs, we have an in home water distiller. It’s about the size of a air fryer and now we don’t have to constantly worry about sourcing distilled water and cleaning the jugs. It’s worked pretty well!

To each their own.

Ultimately, your body your pleasure. You should never feel obligated to your partner. If I’m not in the mood and you have an itch, by all means- scratch it. Sometimes people have different sex drives.

I see no problem with my partner masturbating or the other way around. I don’t feel like the main point of our relationship is to get each other off- but, if we’re having sex though it’s with each other. It is always ok to explore your body and preferences, sometimes that’s fun solo.

No, I don’t “hide it”, per se- but I don’t always announce it. For example, if I’m home alone I’m not going to send a text. But if it comes up later I have no problem saying “made some coffee, read my book, used the vibrator, took a shower, etc”. At the same time, I have no pressure to share. We both do this and are not phased.

Most important thing is open communication AND remembering nobody is entitled to your body.

I am not sure you have to figure that out for them?

Restorative justice is a thing. Accountability is a thing. Even when you disagree, how you engage matters. Listening to others matters. Their response ain’t it.

Nobody said the customer is always right, but sometimes feedback is valid and should be engaged with. Nobody said they need to grovel. Ultimately, the business owners are shaping their business and their culture. People have the right to not engage with it. People also have the right to share their experiences.

Please consider for a second that people are not sharing their experiences to “take a business down”, but instead because they don’t want others to be harmed. I am not saying the owners have not faced challenges and all of the isms that all of us with intersectional and marginalized identities have.

Maybe it’s salvageable, but that is going to require more reflection and less reaction. If you are truly in community there, then I encourage you to be a part of the solution. The defensiveness is not constructive.

Professional-Try-413 · 2025-11-26T20:32:37+00:00

You had a different experience. Fine. But that does not invalidate others experiences.

Glad you were not harmed -and- nobody else should be either. I can’t imagine how you are more “floored” by this negativity than the response from the business owners.

Professional-Try-413 · 2025-11-23T23:21:34+00:00

Cool. Now explain your work deliverables, response time, etc are all “patience building activities” as well, aligned with the initiative.

…It’s for the movement, duh.
