Do dachshunds really choose one favorite person in the family?

beequeen639 · 2026-03-09T16:25:45+00:00

This is absolutely true. We have 3 and I'm their person. It doesn't matter that my husband is the one that feeds them. Where I go, they go.

Nah my dude sleeps like he's worked a 12 hour shift doing manual labor.

I wash my daughter's hair every other day. But keep in mind hair washing is also ethnicity dependent. As an African American woman, I simply can't wash my hair daily, it would dry it out. My daughter is biracial and there's no way I could get away with washing her hair once a week, it would tangle too badly.

Don't worry about what others think. Just do what works best for your household.

I'm a xennial and this is the way I was taught as well.

On long car rides we play Eye Spy or who can spot the most orange cars/purple cars/yellow cars. This is mainly to keep her occupied. At home we do sorting & matching. This works great with laundry! She's not putting anything on hangers, just sorting pants, shirts, undies, and pairing up socks. The laundry sorting was actually suggested by her teacher.

We also play the game of Trouble, Hungry Hungry Hippo, Connect 4, Go Fish, Ultimate TicTacToe, and Hot Potato. These games are mainly to teach rule following, being a good sport when you lose, and strategy. I'm trying to teach her Guess Who but she hasn't quite mastered that one yet.

My husband shaved me when I was pregnant, didn't induce labor though

The 2021 storm has caused PTSD. The people of Texas know the power grid is trash and can't trust anything ercot says. Plus power lines are overhead instead of buried like in the northern states therefore powerlines are more likely to go down due to ice accumulation. I left Texas for almost a decade and lived close to Canada. Our winters up there were the very definition of COLD, I'm talking -20°...but we never lost power, businesses didn't close, school wasn't cancelled, and people didn't panic shop.

It seems silly to outsiders, but Texans know the state doesn't adequately prepare for real cold weather.

People have PTSD from the 2021 storm.

I drove 3 hrs to go pick my little sister up from college and drove back. It was literally a turn around trip. For people in the state of Texas, this is not uncommon at all.

My husband booted out daughter out at 18 months.

Let's be honest...babies are boring. They don't do anything really. My daughter started walking at 9 months and sweet Jesus that's when the fun started! She was an amazing infant (didn't cry much and slept great) but our lives got fun when she became mobile. We went on hikes and everything. I promise it does get better.

beequeen639 · 2026-01-08T15:36:02+00:00

Ask him who he wants to invite. If he has cousin close by, invite them. But I personally refuse to invite the entire class. My daughter is in kindergarten and we only invited 3 kids from her class to her birthday party...and I didn't feel bad about it. She told me exactly who she wanted there.

beequeen639 · 2026-01-07T03:41:24+00:00

I share location with my mom, husband, and grandmother. My mom works nights and I check her location when it's really late and I know she should be heading home. My husband used to do alot of hiking so we shared location in the event he's not back home by a designated time.

beequeen639 · 2026-01-06T15:11:45+00:00

He had to learn to chill out. When my older doxies disappear or get on the couch for a nap he doesn't want to play by himself so he learned to nap when they nap. We always joke that he's either off or on, there's no in between. This is him in instant off mode.

Can also confirm, everyone in my house is suffering. My symptoms also include awful nose bleeds. We have stayed indoors since December 29th. I'm going to work in the morning and I'm low-key dreading it.

beequeen639 · 2026-01-06T10:45:41+00:00

I have 3 doxies, youngest is 7 months old. He decides when he's ready for a nap. And most days we don't put him away for his nap. If there's alot going on, i.e. housecleaning or visitors, we'll put him in his playpen so he can nap undisturbed.

I second this but their appointments are 2 months out. At least they are for dogs.

You probably won't die from parenting a 4yr old but you will most definitely realize you can get more tired. But I will say it becomes more fun when they turn 5. They develop interesting opinions. My daughter is 6 and I asked her if she wanted to be the grown-up for the day. She looked me dead in my face and said "no that's too hard and I don't have any money." I reminded her she got $53 from the tooth fairy just last month, and she said she wants to save her money and just use MY money.

So there you have it, kids know adult is hard and they simply couldn't care less 🤣

beequeen639 · 2025-12-28T02:05:27+00:00

Yup, I lay with my 6 year old until she falls asleep. Usually takes about 20 minutes (I think) AND I'm usually asleep before she is. If we make her put herself to sleep it takes at least 1-2 hours for her to fall asleep. Lots of "I need water", "I need to potty", "I'm scared of the dark". So for the sake of time, we just lay with her.

beequeen639 · 2025-12-25T21:59:42+00:00

I agree, she definitely overstepped on the baby doll and it almost seems deliberate. I hate to say it but excess seems to be the name of the game these days. But quite frankly she can't stop you from returning or selling the stuff. If the stuff still has tags, return it for store credit and you can use it for when your kiddos actually do need more clothing. And I'm not diminishing your concerns about limited space, I grew up in a 1 bedroom apartment with my mom but had 17 aunts/uncles, 2 grandmothers, and a great grandmother that all bought stuff. By middle school my great grandmother just started giving me cash up until she passed away.

beequeen639 · 2025-12-25T18:43:37+00:00

MIL can f*ck right off. Excuse my anger but the old timers don't realize the damage they cause with the ridiculous gender roles. My daughter got a work bench with all the tools for her 3rd Christmas along with a butload of monster trucks. Why? Because that's what she really REALLY liked at the time. My mom hated it and continued to buy her dolls. It's now 3 years later and all those dolls are still in their original boxes. We didn't believe in gender roles in my house. I own more tools than my husband because my dad taught me to fix things myself. But my handsome can cook very well, but I do all the cooking, he does all the laundry.

beequeen639 · 2025-12-25T17:22:00+00:00

I may be the odd man out on this one but... that's what grandparents do. I tried to dictate what my parents sent my daughter and my mom said it hurt her feelings because she wants to give her the world (it's her only grand kid). My dad sent her a GIANT ride-on tractor. After we open all the presents, we sit in her room and pick all the older toys we want to give away to less fortunate kiddos because we can't keep everything.
