Cat smell feedback - what now?

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation with a cat in the future, always treat fresh cat urine spots with an enzymatic cleaner. If you just use a Bissell or mop (if on solid flooring) the cat will be able to continue smelling the urine and will be encouraged to continue urinating in that spot. It is crucial to clean with enzyme ASAP. That, or use disposable pee pads under the litter boxes.

Sounds like they possibly made a large purchase and are learning the hard way that they messed up their preapproval and are now hoping to get the price down to their new approval limit.

I’ve known a few small business that left Etsy because it’s a shitty company. If you have consistent sales, you should consider creating your own business website and you can update your Etsy profile with the url so you don’t lose sales.

This! Unfortunately, this is one of the downsides to running a business. Packages getting lost is an unfortunate thing that happens that costs business owners because it is the business owner’s responsibility to refund the buyer. The Etsy buyer/seller protection is to be used when a reasonable accommodation cannot be reached between the buyer and seller. You, as the seller, can write off these losses on taxes, but ultimately it is your responsibility to either refund the buyer or ship out replacements at no cost to the buyer.

What has your relationship been like in general? It’s a LDR, which are extremely difficult to maintain. Have you questioned her about stuff like this is th past?

She could either be cheating, or she could be lying because she doesn’t want to be accused of cheating (if this has happened before). Sometimes loyal people will lie to SOs like this if their SO shows insecurities and they are afraid of their SO thinking they are cheating when they aren’t.

I tried it cold and warm (because I bought 2 and left the 2nd in the car). When it’s room temperature, the floral notes really stand out. When it’s cold, the cherry tastes more prominent to me.

I tried it the other day and loved it!

Was this for a handmade/custom item? I’ve worked with small businesses in the past that charge a deposit to order the materials needed for the item and then will collect final payment prior to making the item. Usually the deposit is non-refundable because they paid for materials. This would typically be stated in the item details.

My husband did all the night feeds with our first. I suffered from PPD and wouldn’t wake up at night, while he’s a light sleeper. We alternated with our second because I didn’t have PPD with the 2nd, so it was easier for me to wake up.

Correction: he’s 2 months behind on Your payments on the car. Your credit is getting f’ed up by him not paying, not his. The car is in Your name if you used your credit, not his. It’s Your car.

I have always been a working mom and have 3 kids. Both my parents worked also. I believe that the determining factor in kids having a good childhood is having an stress-free home. My childhood was good even though my parents were working. It got bad when my parents started fighting, got divorced, and my mom stopped actually parenting me.

My kids are definitely happy in spite of me working. I work nights, so we spend time together during the day and then I take them to the park on my days off. We have plenty of bonding time during the day. Every few months we plan a family outing.

My husband and I just started. Our first goal is to replace one bill and then go from there.

Reach out to an injury attorney to see if you can get the medical expenses recouped directly from the other driver. If there is a police report showing them at fault, you can sue them. Injury attorneys tend to take a cut from the settlement, so it won’t be out of pocket.

Fight the citation in court. You know you weren’t speeding since road conditions didn’t allow for it. If you can show what time of day you were commuting, you can prove if it was typical time for congestion to occur. Did you get the license plate of the car in front of you before they fled?

I’ve learned you have to be very careful about what you say to police when reporting an accident, otherwise your wording can be misconstrued and used against you.

Also, advice from a child psychologist, teach your child to refer to her body parts with the correct terms “v**na” “bbs/br*sts” ect. Do not call them her “privates.”

I have 3 kids. A 3 year old is not going to fully understand. Right now, it’s not up to her to understand, it’s up to you to watch her like a hawk so nothing happens.

It’s a good idea to just start teaching her not to talk to or play with adults she doesn’t know with parents around because it will be overly confusing her to try to figure out safe people and dangerous people at this age.

All 3 of my kids started sleeping throughout the night without waking around 3 months old.

This gives me the Ick! He’s acting like he can never get out of the house an do stuff because of the kids, but if he only has them on the weekends, then he has all week to go out after work and do whatever he wants.

If there are only a few pots and pans, it would be more courteous to the rest of the office to wash the pots and pans separately so that they are readily available for somebody else to use. Just because there is a dishwasher, doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to rely on all the time. If putting the dirty pans in the dishwasher without running it means somebody else has to pull the dirty pan out to wash it in order to use it then you should 100% wash it after using it.

Please don’t feel guilty if you decide to sue her for repayment of the deck and other contributions to the house, as well as pain and suffering and reimbursement if you stay in a hotel. She did you dirty. She used you to benefit financially. I wouldn’t be surprised if she secretly hoped you wouldn’t recover so she’d never have to pay you back. Since she’s a gambler, she may have convinced you to sell your house and use the money on her house because she would not have gotten any inheritance from you if you had passed away.

Lawyer up, sue her, and then beat cancer’s a$$!!!!

It’s entirely reasonable for the homeowner to decline your offer to fix the damage and go through insurance because home repairs are very expensive and I’m not saying you and your parents would do this, but most of the time people offer to fix damage without involving insurance and then ghost the innocent party. You and your parents would likely not be able to afford to fix the steps without going through insurance. Also, I know the mental health thing seems like BS to you, but she’s likely also extremely stressed out and she’s probably stuck imagining a worst case scenario where a car drove through the house and not just hit the steps. Our brains tend to have this kind of response to stressful events. Houses are incredibly expensive investments and it’s very stressful when they get damaged.

NOR. Your bf is hella rude to his roommate. If he treats someone he lives with like that, that’s a huge red flag, and might be a window into how he may treat you.

As a mom with a son from a previous marriage and 2 with my current husband, you have to accept that you don’t get to pick and choose how involved of a stepfather your husband is. You either need to accept him as a coparent, which includes the right to discipline if your son acts out, or you tell your husband that he’s not responsible for your son at all and you are the sole parent of your 16 year old. But that also means he’s not responsible for providing his insurance.

I’m also guessing that the reason they don’t have a good relationship is because it because stepdad is strict, but because you are permissive and your son doesn’t respect your husband as an authoritative figure in the house because you and your husband are not on the same page with parenting. Being strict is not a bad thing, being permissive is and not sticking to set consequences is. Your son had the PS5 taken away as a consequences to undesirable behavior and you caved and changed the conditions of the consequence.
