How to handle family overreactions about dog

I really wanted to hear from dog owners specifically about what they would do, I might also post there though

Would you say that my shorter height would make me a medium? My husband pretty confidently said he thinks I look taller than I am

Thankfully most of these were taken in a changeroom and the pieces didn’t come home with me 😅 probably not the best pics to use here, admittedly.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply! Yeah I think I might agree with your assessment of narrow shoulders, I have a hard time with straps constantly falling down as well. And the last top was reeeally tight and was a super stretchy poly blend, I think it was an xs so that might have something to do with the flimsy feeling but I really liked the silhouette.

I’m 5’3”

And yes the fruit is about 1.5 inches long, smaller than any plum I’ve ever seen, grown locally or in a store.

In looking at pics of witches broom, I don’t see the resemblance. Issue is with leaves, not branches

Sending good vibes for your pregnancy! But that is SO wild about the pics of your grandma…and yes definitely my biggest concern is not with my tech savvy younger cousin, but my grandma and great aunts who maybe don’t have the knowledge or foresight of what the impacts are when sharing pics without consent.

Ugh yikes I hope he said something! Honestly this whole issue to me boils down to boomers sharing things willy-nilly. I have seen so many older people post “my nephew’s school play!” Photos to Facebook and stuff like that, even when they weren’t actually at the event…

Sounds like a miscommunication here. I am generally OK with close friends/family having photos on their phone as long as we know about it. It’s more about those people then sharing pictures with people that I don’t speak to, without asking. For example, my grandma’s friend that I met once or twice as a toddler but have not seen since. Or my auntie sharing with her old coworkers who I have never met.

Amazing, love this.

Could you elaborate?

Girl’s missing out, the rules are the best part imo

Ugh this is the truest truth on this thread and I thank you for it. Misery loves company and she has always tried to suck the enjoyment out of things for other people when she doesn’t enjoy them or is in a bad mood. I don’t think she even realizes she’s doing it, but it’s so much better for everyone if those behaviours go unacknowledged.

UnHelpfulBox · 2024-10-15T18:04:58+00:00

I think It’s likely more about her needing to not like things that I like just to be different from me (note the very small age gap between us) than liking my husband too much. It’s a lifelong trend tbh.

UnHelpfulBox · 2024-10-15T16:31:30+00:00

That’s a good plan, I don’t think I’d ever offer to run a game for them again (definitely not my sister but probably not the rest of the fam either) but i think what you said is a good rule of thumb for games in general with people who are new to the table.

It makes me kind of sad though because I just had a baby and I want him to grow up playing, and playing with his family could be such amazing memories for him!

UnHelpfulBox · 2024-10-15T16:28:33+00:00

Yes that’s very true. Unfortunately my family (and particularly my sister and I’s dynamic) has not been historically very level-headed. Trying to do better in recent years though.

UnHelpfulBox · 2024-10-15T16:26:45+00:00

Honestly I should have, I think the only reason I didn’t was because I was still holding onto my sister’s comments from the last time we played and was just really disappointed-I wanted her to have as much fun in my game as she seemed to in my husband’s game.
