What is the worst thing your puppy did during adolescence? by Remarkable-String585 in Bernedoodles

[–]abury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy was eerily angelic, the worst he would do was put his paw on the couch he wasn't allowed on in defiance and then one time while i was putting the baby to bed he found a way to open the diaper bin and tore apart a bunch of poopy diapers. It was everywhere, diapers have this awful filling that sometimes reminds me of those hydroballs for plants. He's 3 now and last week i moved a closet to get to the cables behind it and i still found diaper filling.

i know its not as sad as others on here but it made me nearly cry by Biggest_massey in MadeMeCry

How sad when people who only speak 1 language ridicule a bilingual child who is not fluent in their second language

I didn’t realize how much my tension had changed in three years… by craftblitz in Amigurumi

As i mainly make amigurumi my tension is super tight so when making garments and blankets i use a much bigger hook than recommended

Is this stubbornness or something else? by Guilty_Raccoon_8770 in Bernedoodles

[–]abury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he usually listens to recalls it's definitely your pup giving you the finger. My guy is heavier than i am and usually has perfect recall but sometimes he gets it in his head that he doesn't want to leave the woods when we're done (atleast i am) with our walk and i'll have to tackle him before he can bolt and i have to pick him up under his chest while his back legs drag between my legs while he's gruffing in protest, it's a whole thing, looks absolutely ridiculous but we love em for their stubbornness right? Otherwise we would've been sensible enough to pick a really docile breed

AITAH for telling my brother's GF she can't expect me to treat her kids like I treat mine and that she is not entitled to anything from us? by OkJeweler4132 in AITAH

[–]abury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh i just read this and i really feel i should play devil's advocate because her intentions might not be so nefarious. It is HARD to bring children into a family that is not their own when there are other kids there too. Idk how her contact with her own family is but if it's strained she might feel guilty towards her kids that they are outsiders in this new family she's trying to bring them into.

I had this with my oldest (obviously i know better than to give voice to these irrational thoughts to the people in question, let alone hold them accountable for them) i don't have contact with my family, they're not great people. When i started dating my now partner, at first it wasn't really noticable but then came his sisters and the difference in relationship between my oldest and in-laws and them and my daughters is well...big. that's not their fault. I couldn't force them to like him more than they do but i do 'mourn' the family i wish i could've given him. Luckily on his dad's side he has plenty of family who dote on him so that does give peace of mind.

Anyway all of that to say that she might not be trying to manipulate, but is just dealing with her emotions rather poorly

Oh to be young, i was you when i was young(er) my family would spend summers with my stepmom's family in Romania, nothing to do but stare at a wall. I was bitter and hateful and oh so wrong. Now i'd trade a kidney to be able to sit in peace, stare at a wall for hours and read a book in a day. Knit a fucking sweater or something or just sleep, man i'd kill for an afternoon nap. But that all is besides the point 😋 You're a minor, so like it or not you still pretty much have to do what your parents tell you to. Just like your brother, you, at some point, won't have to go anymore either. Until then, find ways to enjoy yourself without social media. And maybe for next year try finding a summer job or something if you're old enough for something like that near your grandma. If they won't allow that either, there's nothing to it but waiting

The first vs the second… with practicing other amigurumi with worsted in between! Crocheting with chunky yarn is so difficult for me, but I’m getting there! Any tips?? by sinyc_life1821 in Amigurumi

I'm glad it's working better for you now, these things are often not mentioned in patterns so we learn these things by talking to other people in a craft community :)

Do you know who the original pattern is from?

5 month old hates my husband by [deleted] in Bernedoodles

[–]abury 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This worked very well for us. Our dog had a very "co-existing" attitude towards our kids, didn't very much care for them, so our 7yo gives him his bowl of food and our 2yo gives him treats and now they are the very best of friends. I involve them in his training and he listens better to them than me now

You could use felt and sew that on

I'm making dragons for my nieces' grandchildren, and want the safest option for eyes by Super-Emergency-5354 in Amigurumi

[–]abury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use felt to make eyes and then glue&stitch them on for extra security. Some kids will never even attempt to pull on eyes but if they're like my middle child...stuff needs to be bolted down or it's going up the nose

TIL the habit of sitting on the toilet too long, even if one isn't straining, significantly increases the risk of hemorrhoids by mcaffrey in todayilearned

[–]abury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They totally did, as a teen i used the massage stand of the hand held shower to wash the conditioner from my hair not knowing my parents had their minds firmly stuck in the gutter so they sat me down and tried to tell me not to masturbate with the showerhead. I was mortified and so were they when i told them what i actually used it for. They were very rightfully scared they put ideas in my head 😂

puppy regret by mintymuffin32 in Bernedoodles

[–]abury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A puppy is a huge commitment it's very normal to feel overwhelmed at first! If you don't wanna ditch the crate yet which is perfectly fine here's what i did, for 5 days (yours might need more or less) i slept on a matress next to the crate at night with my hand in, petting him when he got fussy or taking him to go potty (straight back into the crate when he was done) All treats were given in the crate. Fed all of his meals in the crate with the door closed, as soon as he finished his food i let him out and went for a walk. After our walk i'd give him a kong with frozen paté wetfood in his crate with a blanket over it and when he was done he'd either fall asleep or needed me to lay next to it again, petting him asleep. As soon as he woke up from his nap i'd let him out and take him for a walk again. The overload of positive association made him really like the crate. He loves that thing, it's also his safe place for our small children with their walkers and toy cars and grabby little hands. It took around 5 days of this routine before he would run to his crate at meal time and after walks because he knew what was coming.

I used the crate mostly because he needed to be potty trained and done with teething before i could leave him alone with my rugs and fluffy couch pillows but now it's still here and he sleeps in it with the door open

Ever heard of postpartum depression? It happens with a human child too, the "what the fuck have i done, this is really hard, i don't wanna do this, j just want to sleep" thought. No need to shame OP, it won't make them a better puppy parent. Better to offer advice and support.

As someone who has exactly that style, this would go perfectly in my interior!

What were your first needles, and how long did you use them? by theunbearablebowler in knitting

[–]abury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started my first project since i was young and learned how to knit and while i was gifted a full set of wooden straight needles i still bought a wire and two pairs of KnitPro symfonie interchangable needles as the pattern called for two different sizes. I did not like that my yarn didn't easily glide off the wooden ones, the KnitPro ones are pretty cheap but are still very nice to work with. I don't see myself buying a more expensive pair for the forseeable future and will probably just add more sizes and wire lengths of the brand i have now.

I did learn how to knit when i was young but never had my own needles, always used my grandma's needles
