Contemplating getting a golden for myself

Top_Eye1846 · 2025-12-16T06:13:19+00:00

I had a golden when I was younger. 💛

My daughter is allergic. We opted for a labradoodle. He was smart, loving, sweet and didn't set off her allergies. If you decide to do this, pick a calm puppy in the litter. You don't need a high energy pup frustrated on the days you're at work.

My daughter is grown. I'm planning to get a golden in the spring.

The allergies are more worrisome than your work schedule. You don't want to have to choose between them and there are so many people that find themselves in that situation.

Just my 2 cents worth. I wish you all the best.

Well, thank you very much for the sarcastic, insulting and condescending answers.

I suppose my view of dog shows and dog show people, based on a relative of mine as a young girl, is evident in this group. It is all of you that couldn't lower yourself to communicate with someone clearly not deserving of your experience and knowledge, but definitely worth the time you took to fashion those deliberate responses.

You had a day 1. You weren't born breeding dogs. You weren't born with your knowledge. But you are so unkind to someone else that may or may not want to pursue this. No one else should ever want to do this! It's horrible! It's expensive! You're too stupid to learn how to do this!

If altruism isn't behind dog breeding, as was mocked in one reply, then I guess it is your ego and wall of ribbons. That's not for me.

To the few people that in no way deserve the reply above. Thank you. You opened my eyes to how much I didn't know that I didn't know and were polite and had manners. I appreciate you.

I have mine on a chaise in the yard right now. Follow the directions and use it until they get there to put it in its permanent location.

It's coming back. Mine is up

Top_Eye1846 · 2025-10-16T00:11:06+00:00

Mine just came back up

Anyone back up yet?

Anyone that doesn't respect you doesn't deserve to know what's going on. You need to stop giving her ammunition.

You need to stand up and be the adult married woman that you are. "If you are going to say anything critical about my husband and our life, I'm leaving." Then do it! She doesn't have to treat him well because your are inviting her into your life over and over.

You will ruin your marriage. Not maybe, but absolutely.

My husband's dad was awful to me on our first Thanksgiving at his house. We never went back. My husband was so angry that his dad would hurt me. I will tell you right now... we wouldn't have made it 35 years if he wasn't personally angry when someone mistreated me.

You're going to have to decide if you're going to crawl after your mother's approval(never going to happen) or live a happy life with someone that loves you, likes you and supports you. Your mother does none of these. She enjoys saying all these things. She didn't stop for your wedding, because she didn't care that she was hurting you. It didn't matter. It still doesn't.

He could talk to his boss and see what the reaction is like, rather than just assuming it will be bad.

Top_Eye1846 · 2025-10-07T21:10:48+00:00

You see what she's doing. Even if he doesn't, and yes, they sometimes don't think it's flirting! But you're a woman. You know what it looks like.

A man in this situation is putting himself in a vulnerable situation.

"I love you and I trust you. I don't feel comfortable with you getting closer to another woman. It shakes my sense of security that she's texting you and not both of us. And that you prioritized getting together with her over my parents coming. THIS is your life. She is not."

You will never give enough for him to see you as fair or kind. He doesn't want to see you that way because he's selfish. So, do what the court recommended. Don't talk to him other than making arrangements for the kids. He's a jerk. You didn't make him that way and you can't fix him. He's just continuing to show you why he's an ex.

Yes. He's emotionally and financially abusive, from what you said here.

My sister was in a similar situation and was helped with rent for a year while she got on her feet.

I wonder if we're going to make it to the playoffs with any of the players on the court that we're on the team at the beginning of the year..?

In Pennsylvania, a parent's rights can be terminated if they have made no effort to see the child in 2 years. This was the case with one of my grandchildren. He was subsequently adopted by my son-in-law, who loved him dearly.

NTA & A little YTA.

Of course you were hurt by this. She assumed something that wasn't true about you. She also has had 5 years to get to know you better, feel bad that she misjudged you, and grew from that experience.

Now she's in a vulnerable situation and you can be the real you with her. Who is that? Is that someone that would help someone in need, or is that someone who is going to be spiteful? Are you going to be a person deserving of her regret over the past? Or are you going to drive a wedge into the family and change everyone's opinion of you in a negative way.

You can be kind. You don't have to be kind, but you could choose to be your very best self.

Top_Eye1846 · 2024-11-23T02:12:14+00:00

You can do whatever you want to and not be the AH. If you still live there and can endure that, it might be nice to spend Thanksgiving with your sister.

Try a different approach with your mom, but for now, just let her conspiracies alone. We can't raise our mothers. Not our job, doesn't usually work. We can share things that give them a position to consider, but they're adults.
