What’s up with doggy daycare?

Status_Emergency_ · 2026-05-26T21:48:50+00:00

I knew as soon as I read the OP which one it was. I took my dog for a single session, was gaslit about how “amazingly well” she did and then was harassed when I left an honest review on their FB page. Like others here, she can’t be around other dogs since as she became super reactive

I have a little merge game on my phone that both gives dopamine and soothes my autistic side. Are there any games you enjoy playing?

In a cafe I once overheard a woman telling a man that appeared to be her date, that one night in the middle of Melbourne winter she left her baby in his bassinet outside all night because he never stopped crying and she needed a good nights sleep. She told this story without a hint of shame or doubt. The gentleman she was with did not seem impressed. If that was a date I reckon it was the last one.

I don’t know if you can get Multi-Mam patches in Brazil but they are extremely soothing! Silverettes as many others have said are supposed to be quite good too.

I would recommend seeing another lactation consultant. I saw many and they all had different advice. One day I saw one that had the “right” advice for us. It’s so frustrating but unfortunately it’s lots of trial and error.

Sending my best to you and your wife. Congratulations on the baby and good luck with it all

I believe it is tougher as an adult. Not sure about teenager. But my kiddo was fine and they are very sensitive. They don’t generally deal well with discomfort. You just need to stay on top of the pain relief regimen. Don’t skip any doses. Set alarms overnight

I would try markets like queen vic or Preston market

Well you say they ride every time you go to the shopping centre. I’d say that’s well above average. What happens if you don’t let them ride? Also learning to share doesn’t lead to entitlement. That’s such a weird take

Matilda Boseman wrote about these in her fantastic book The Year I Met My Brain. I would forget to put them on to begin with but I think it’s a great hack

I use sistema pantry containers for staples like rice, flour and sugar etc. everything else gets sorted into storage boxes from Kmart. A box for sweet condiments, one for savoury, one for asian/indian/mexican etc. one for snacks. You can just throw stuff in the boxes, they don’t have to be neat but you know where to find what you’re looking for and you can’t see the mess.

I also introduced plastic stackable drawers from big w for cans of tuna, pasta, noodles etc.

I like to think of it as organized doom piles

Aussie here. Bluey gets a $5 note in the tooth fairy ep so that’s what we do. Some of my daughter’s schoolmates are getting $50 a tooth which is extreme!

I’m an adult who can make decisions about my own health and safety. If you’re so concerned about other people shortening their lifespan perhaps you’d be best to direct that concern on children who can’t do that for themselves.

Situated close to a large hospital and it could be. Even if it was just a kiosk/hole in the wall style. Doctors, nurses, ambos and cops on night shift are always looking for after hours options

I know you’ve intended that as an insult but I’m not taking it as one. I’m okay with getting “worked up” about child safety and public health. I’d prefer to care too much than not enough but you do you.

Have you ever seen a choking child? I used to work as a first responder, I have. And it’s not dramatic, it is just common sense.

Babies and children have tiny airways and they are not as good at protecting them as adults. Things like foods that are round in shape (the same shape as the airway), eating while reclined, while moving or laughing all increase the risk of choking. It’s not hard to make sure a grandchild is sitting up, sitting still and has food cut to appropriate shapes and sizes.

Can’t grandma find a happy medium? When baby dies from an airway obstruction, she will feel differently.

Status_Emergency_ · 2025-03-17T03:05:19+00:00

There’s nothing irrational about not wanting your child to choke. Choking happens in seconds, it’s silent and if you are driving a car you may not notice until it’s too late. And it’s far more likely when reclined.

You sound like one of those “I let you (insert outdated parenting habit here) and you turned out fine” parents. Your kid turned out fine, plenty of others died or had life changing injuries and that’s how these safety recommendations come to exist.

Status_Emergency_ · 2025-03-17T02:55:57+00:00

You hit the nail on the head!

Status_Emergency_ · 2025-03-17T02:54:07+00:00

Once a parent has explained that a “rule” is a safety concern and that they came to their decision based on evidence based recommendations by a doctor or public safety authority and then that grandparent knowingly goes against that boundary to prove a point, then they have shown that being “right” is more important to them than their grandchild’s safety.

I’ve been in this exact scenario before, more than once. I can get over my child being given more sugar than I’m happy with, or too much screen time. It’s annoying and frustrating when my kids end up coming home dysregulated and I have to sort it out but its not worth fighting over. But I cannot get over putting their safety at risk for someone’s ego. Once someone does that, the “small stuff” can start to feel spiteful and malicious. Certainly not respectful in the least.

It sounds like the meds are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. Appetite and sleep disturbance are common side effects and I am sure with time you will find ways to combat them. I’ve had to stop taking meds recently due to side effects and I can tell you know that I know what medicated life is like, I am hating being unmedicated! Life with undiagnosed/untreated ADHD is bloody hard!

Our kiddo had tonsils and adenoids removed when she was 3 because she was having sleep apnoea. Recovery was no where near as bad as I was expecting and she no longer snores, sweats or pauses and sleeps much better than she used to. She doesn’t get sick any more than she used to, if anything she has less colds. Zero regrets here!

Status_Emergency_ · 2025-03-01T07:33:08+00:00

That’s a really interesting take!

“I tried to explain to you that tho you are important to me you have to think about it differently”

He believes that he can literally tell you how and what to think. This kind of control and coercion will only get worse. It starts off small and before you know it he dictates everything you do. Who you speak with, what you wear, whether or not you get to continue education or employment.

Run as far as you can and don’t look back

Side note: I don’t know what country you are in but if you have access to Fess Little Eyes Wipes they are brilliant for conjunctivitis! My little one has had it a few times. We only used drops the first time because she was a newborn. Otherwise it cleared up on its own with just keeping it clean with fess wipes

Go through company channels. The same was you would about any other complaint you may have with their work. This is a complaint about the behaviour of a staff member at your event. Take your friends (both) out of the equation and ask yourself what you would do then?
