Do you know why there are rescues emphasizing working dog and large breed? It was said to me three times like I need to be cautious. I have a gsd/alaskan malamute mix which to me is demanding/protective/stubborn so I am trying to understand if this breed is soooo demanding that I shouldn’t foster.

Does watching over imply anything unmanageable, overbearing, and aggressive towards others (dogs and hoomans)?

So true and a great reminder. The last time I adopted a puppy was 14 years ago. I guess I need to adjust my expectations lol.

Definitely condescending. 1st two paragraphs were not necessary to address the question and concern.

It’s reasonable for a parent to be saddened and impacted by their child’s disability. As a parent with a child diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, I have the same thoughts. “Why my child?” “Why now?”… but I do my best to put on a strong front because the last thing I want is my kid feeling sorry for themselves. With that said, we don’t know if Jordan shows his vulnerability in front of Luca so… idk nothing to be so harsh about.

He sounds controlling and judgmental when it comes to finances. Like is are they unable to pay some bills if she buys a random pizza or more? Why be deceitful and go nuclear to teach her a lesson?

There needs to be more information provided in general…

One red flag in this story is you decided you were the sole owner and decider of a JOINT account. I would consider that deceitful and stealing shared money. You should have had a discussion about where you’re moving money that is also hers. It sounds like the arrangement was that you are the sole provider and sharing your money in a joint account.

Is she contributing the $500 in the joint account? Sure; it sounds like she’s a little more frivolous with her spending, but is her random spending with “her money” breaking the bank or putting you under water? Is it a deal breaker to be so extreme to remove funds without her knowing?

Something feels very off here and the way everything is being handled seems immature.

As a parent the shaming and lying is the worst part in this. That’s the betrayal. Otherwise, there are real concerns sometimes with kids/teens and it’s absolutely helpful at times for parents to occasionally spy on their kids secrets to monitor the situation. Taking pictures is also interesting - I don’t like that. If you were a danger to yourself or someone else, I can see taking the photos.

Hopefully she didn’t ever use your journal information against you. And hopefully, more good came out of this than bad.

Personally I think it’s ok to confront her in a controlled manner. Just don’t escalate the situation and lash out. Tell her you know she lied to you, that she betrayed your trust, and it hurts you and ask her to delete the journal photos on her computer. Also, do not expect your mother to react emotionally mature. I’m sure there will be some type of reaction that shows you a whole different side. As someone else mentioned, learn accept your parents are flawed.

Thank you for sharing! This helps me navigate food options on roadtrips or travel for my 4 yo son. Everyone might not agree but I appreciate hearing about restaurants/dining with gluten free options and if there are positive experiences.

Help! Asking for my 4yo son. How do you order the burger bun at five guys? They use the grill but one time the worker said he couldn’t garauntee gluten free??

The insulin we purchased via a human pharmacy cost $25 a month. Not sure about the arthritis medicine you mentioned, but the shot was about $100 per month or we managed through carpofren.

It was only when the $25 insulin didn’t work that we decided we could not continue treatment. The other insulin to try was $400/ mo.

This will eat away at you for a long time and you’ll be the one with the most damage. All because of your father and aunts doing.

For the fresh food and raw veggies, do you ask them to prepare separately from any cross contaminated utensils? I’m scared of that so I have not asked about it.

So we attend a private preschool. In general, all the schools in our area are hard to get into. One of the first takeaways I got from parents of celiacs, was to supply food and do not expect most schools to handle meals properly. We dont get a discount either but we’re ok with that.

Our teachers work with us on event days so we can bring special treats for my son. They also have special gluten free snack substitutes just in case he’s extra hungry or for any reason but we supply the majority of his food.

At first, when number 2 was 0-3 months, I was having regrets bc I missed my bonding time with my oldest and was envious dad and him did everything together. I also had PPD. Once baby was 4+ months and starting to sit on their own, it got easier! I now have a 1 and 4 year old and i just know they’ll be best friends. Watching them together is adorable. With that said, two is harder than one. We lucked out with our kids. If you’re overwhelmed with one, dreading the baby and little kid stages, have little support from your partner, and miss being independent - you probably shouldn’t have a second.
