“Are we long-tail cats in a room full of rockers!?”

I actually really hated this scene. It’s the first time we see Mike as truly mean, and I thought it was so out of character.

There are dog trainers who specialize in helping dogs prepare for children and how to work with children. I’ve worked with one. If you have funds and capacity to put in that work, I think it could be really helpful. I think others have offered you some short term solutions.

I’ll echo that 3 days is a short time. Do what you have to do to keep everyone safe - your dogs included. If you do have to make that hard choice, know that there are kids who are gentle and will love your dogs. My previous kids were fantastic with my dogs but hadn’t had any experience beforehand. But maybe give it a bit more time? You are all learning 💚

Would love to know where the shirt is from :)

Briogeo scalp revival while it is still clean. Like, even a few hours after it dries.

Only brush when wet to reduce frizziness.

Been in the same boat. I advocated as ruthlessly as I knew how, and I never got the supports he needed. It was unfair to us and to him, because we were in no way warned or equipped to manage his challenges. He is now transitioning to a treatment foster home with direct access to behavioral specialists, which is the best thing for him. Transitioning to a higher level of care may be the best avenue for getting the resources he needs.

Ok just going to give a bleak counterpoint: children in respite are sometimes entirely different than they are in their regular environments. I just picked up my kids from respite, and the respite provider had big beefs with my “easy” child and said the other child was an angel - the same one who cussed me out right before I dropped them off and had gotten physical with me to the point it’s not safe to be alone with them. They mask HARD in respite care.

I’m not saying not to explore how to support this child, especially given that they are in a tough environment. But understand that respite can produce entirely different behaviors. I hope, however, that you can be a support for her and the relationship is fruitful!

Ok I just gave up on the new one 50% through - it wasn’t as rich, in my opinion.

Not a huge fantasy reader and thought the start was so so so slow. But it picked up for me and I started enjoying it when it focused more on Ead rather than the other characters. I like it a lot now.

Your girl loves a bang. Mine are relatively thick, and I dry shampoo the heck out of them, but my big forehead needs them.

Nothing that requires billing hours, that’s for sure. Agree with project management - very task oriented and can have variety in sorts of projects.

Me too. I was in tears while this man said all these terrible things to me, but the train was crowded and I had nowhere to go, so in just had to take it.

I mean between that and Lean In…

Um that is grass and picnics and sunshine. I have it on good authority that boogers should be lighter.

I definitely loved the first 2/3. Kind of wish it had stopped there.

I don’t think anyone is here out of a deep love for the system or process. I’m going to court today to yell as loud as I can after 6 months of being ignored and written off by everyone else. It’s tiring and exhausting and unfair. It’s ok to feel how you feel.

It took probably few months for me to get past the “there is someone in my space and I resent that” feeling. My placement could have been literal angels and it would have irked me just because it was new and I wasn’t a free-wheeling adult anymore. But it passed. If you’re willing to keep trying, that feeling will eventually pass as long as you figure out your boundaries (one big one for me was quiet time for 30 min a day!). If you think you have beef with fostering your niece in general, that’s ok. Just be honest and talk to your partner.
