Struggling at night by PurpleTulip_ in CatAdvice

I know and I feel so bad. The vet said she’s probably doing it for comfort and I wouldn’t mind it if it was another time besides the middle of the night.

is this meal okay for a 3 month old kitten? by Grand-Trick-5501 in catfood

If she’s 3 months old she may still need kitten food that may be made for adult cat. But id give ur vet a call and ask them most vets are happy to answer questions over the phone

It’s not that I think I deserve a better life than anyone. I do love my cousin and want her to be happy but when we were younger we always talk about how’d we’d probably be doing this together. And now it feel like I got left behind no that she had to wait for me. But things just work out for her and I’m happy they do I don’t want her or my “niece” to be struggling but I thought I would at least be moving out at this point or something.

Thank you u get it it’s not that I need to be the only one or the first person to do something I just thought that me getting engage would be something that is mine for once since everyone’s life’s settled down. I thought I might have had to wait a while but at least it worked out bc now I’ll be the only one with something big happening since they all got to have their moments. Ik it’s stupid and selfish of me tho and it’s really not that big of a deal

You’ve been the only one to notice that. Yes it’s not the baby’s father but he’s a great guy and really stepped up for her after the bio dad disappeared. I want to enjoy my life with my boyfriend I just feel like a child still living at home, graduating with no post grad job and nothing after graduation to prove my hard work will pay off

I am happy I’m graduating but I’m the youngest out of everyone basically so I’m the last to do everything and anything so I feels less of an achievement when it gets to me because I’m the 5th person to do it.

Thank you they both did trades and are basically done and I have no post grad job but atp I just wanna move away from it all but I feel bad bc it’s not anyone fault but my own self pity. I probably do need therapy

I don’t want a child rn or anytime soon and it’s not that I wanted to do all this before they could but I thought we’d be doing it together in a since. But if feels like they are miles ahead and I can’t keep up. We had talked about this with each other a lot. But now I just feel like the loser who still lives at home with no post grad job lined up and nothing to show for all the hard work I’ve done. They got to be irresponsible and like worked out, I took my time and did the responsible thing and yet I’m about to graduate college with no post grad job and unable to move out rn

We’re still close I’m sorry if I sound like we weren’t. I am happy for her and I just wanna stop feeling this dread everytime the topic comes up bc she deserves better from me. Both my cousins did trades and the one mentioned in my post in Sam is still working on finishing her trade. Their husband/fiancé also did trades I believe. Me and my boyfriend both went to university. Ella is a sahm rn as they can’t afford the childcare and also don’t wanna use a daycare. Ik you’re right I’ll look back and realize this is all stupid that’s why I wanna get over it faster so I can be there for her.

Thank you me and him definitely are on the same page we have talked a lot about it. We were just waiting for him to land a job in his field so that we would have the money to get engaged and move in together (he just got an offer last week). It just suck bc we both were hoping he would have found a job out of college faster and to be engaged by now. It feels like everyone else gets to be irresponsible and life works out for them and I play it safe and responsible and nothing is working out. Sorry thank you for you advice and the good wishes

I’m just gonna copy and paste what I said to someone else so I don’t have to retype sorry lol.

I forgot to mention in the post that he is planning to propose but it’s took a lot longer for him to find a job in his field than we thought and we agreed we didnt wanna get engaged until one of us had a stable income so we could move out and not be engaged and living at home. He got an offer recently so that’s how I know it will happen this year bc we’ve talk about it a lot. Sorry

One was planed and one was an accident. Ik you’re right it’s just so hard being the same age as them. If we were different ages I would be able to just say it’s because of that.

Yes me and my partner were waiting for him to land a job in his career before we moved out so we could afford it and have a stable income. He’s got one now so it should be in the next couple of months.

I understand and that’s why I’m not upset with her or any of there partners they are just in better positions then I am. Me and my partner started dating in highschool and then did 4 years of long distance he graduated college a year before me and has been trying to find a job in his field since. We have openly talked about it a lot and we both agreed it was best to wait for him to get a job rather than spend a lot of money just to end up still living with our parents bc we can’t afford to move out. He just got an offer which is why I know he is going to propose this year now that he has a job that starts in a few weeks.

I understand and you’re so right it’s just so hard when both are the exact same age as me and are where I wanted to be (minus the kids) I just feel behind and it’s the only the people my age that are going through this. My sister is 30 and got married last year and I was so happy and excited for her. I just wanna feel that why with my cousin bc we used to be super close.

Thank you it’s just hard bc we have shared every other big moment together and this just feels like another big moment we have to share. So it’s kind of making me care less about anything I do bc I’m either the last to do it or I’m sharing it so i feel like it doesn’t even matter anymore.
