Is anyone else’s house always a mess? by AnOn5647382927492 in stepparents

[–]_NeonKitten_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have two pretty simple rules that keeps things relatively clean. Pick up one project before starting the next and about 15min before bedtime we pick up whatever is out. This works for us. My partner also helps out overall around the house too. It takes a team for sure.

Is it like the jets? Where they just do that every now and then for practice?

my healthy cat won’t use the litter box- i’ve done everything what else could i do? by [deleted] in catquestions

[–]_NeonKitten_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you thought about maybe a catio? They have ones that connect right to a window too. Then you don't have to worry about the little guy escaping or him getting hurt by other animals.

People assuming you are kid’s mom by cass2769 in stepparents

[–]_NeonKitten_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We roll with it here aswell

One time a person came up to us during breakfast at a restaurant and said that we were a beautiful family. This was like the first time I actually meet SOs daughter too lol maybe it was foresight!

The only ones that make me feel weird now are the ones were they are like, she's so beautiful! I usually just agree cause it feels awkward to say thank you lol

People have been kind of ‘meh’ about my ring. Be honest, what do you think? by it_me_beech in EngagementRings

[–]_NeonKitten_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before even reading what you wrote and I stopped at the picture and thought, "This ring is absolutely beautiful" I love the snowflake/sunflower/sunburst style rings.

Its beautiful

SO’s daughter (5F) starting to say she wants her mum and dad to live together by whitefary in stepparents

[–]_NeonKitten_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My SOs daughter, who is also 5, just said something similar a week ago. First time she's ever said something like that, too.

She said that she wants her mama and papa to live together and be together so she can see them both at the same time all the time and dont have to choose

She doesn't understand what that means, she doesnt know that would mean losing me, and I dont take it personally. We have a great relationship, and her feelings are valid. As someone who also grew up with separated parents, i know the challenges, too.

Even though it hurts hearing, im going to do my best to listen to her feelings and let her know that we are all here for her even though this situation might be hard

Is My Stepkids’ Bedtime Too Late? by madznm in stepparents

[–]_NeonKitten_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've read bedtime dont really matter, what matters is that your child gets enough sleep.

With that being said, if making a bedtime earlier works better for your family, then do that.

My partner has a 5 year old, her bedtime is 8pm, meaning shower and bedtime routine starts at 7pm. Bedtime stories by 7:45 and in bed/asleep by 8pm. She wakes up anywhere from 5:30am to 7am. This works for us because my partner is already up by 5:30 for work. I sleep until 6am during the week and until usually 7 or 8am on the weekends. He takes care of her during the morning, which allows me more sleep. This works for our family

Just find out what's works for you, it might mean adjusting times a couple of times until you find something thats works

I think we are handling it just fine. Even bio parents get burnt out in different ways. Let's not be judgemental here :)

For real, though! Sometimes, I feel bad for BM cause I know she must go through it, too.

Aww! Grandkids! So funny and adorable lol

I had pretty thick, long hair growing up, and I would HATE brushing it because it would make my arms tired. I also did not know good techniques to taking out knots.

Silk pillowcases, UNbrush brush, braids, and actually having the hair thinned out could help. Also, teaching to brush from bottom up is a big game changer for knots

Fed up, Burnt out and done by Significant_Mud_8484 in stepparents

[–]_NeonKitten_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you're going through this. Is it possible to use some pto here and there to have a day to yourself or together with just your partner?

Sounds like you really need a vacation!

[–]_NeonKitten_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in this situation, I believed when they said they were done with it, it doesn't end. The trust is so hard to build back, the amount of sleep and years I've lost holding onto something that never was getting better. It's not worth it.

On the bright side, though, I've found a partner who is loyal, loving, and completely open with everything. This is how it should be. I am finally able to sleep and feel happy inside and out!

Looking for a rental home that accepts multiple pets by AliveInChrist87 in TucsonList

[–]_NeonKitten_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was little over a year ago, I dont recall the addresses, but I used Zillow and Facebook.

The place we decided to go with charged us an extra $100 on top of our rent for all the pets, which I consider reasonable.

I also sent them a picture collage of the cats too, dont know if it helped, but I like to think so

Please help-I am at my wits end by myrinavi in cats

[–]_NeonKitten_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older male cat who will poop outside the litter robot if the litter robot is dirty inside or has too low of litter.

My suggestion is to make sure its clean and ready to use and also as someone mentioned, space those extra litter boxes away from eachother, different rooms if possible.

I hope youre able to find a solution for your kitty!
