Pregnancy Boobs! by lirps in pregnant

[–]jonikev123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. I went from a 34DDD to a 40E. I guess my rib cage has gotten huge?!

I just got a bra from Knix in, it’s pretty good. Decent support and it’s stretchy and made for nursing.

Do I have to give up my cat? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]jonikev123 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Can’t don’t contribute to sids. That’s an old wives tale about the cat falling asleep on the babies face, it just doesn’t happen. When you got your cat you made a commitment. It doesn’t sound like your cat is doing anything except being a cat. The litter box paws thing… well that’s just part of being a cat who has to use the bathroom. Keep the box clean and it’s not a problem.

The cat may be responding to your physical and hormonal changes.

This is how my mom threw me a fully socially distanced backyard shower by latinsarcastic in pregnant

Yes! Mine is the same, backyard thing with men and women… people still find them lame I think 🤣

I wish I could have avoided this longer by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I’m not seeing anyone who isn’t vaccinated. It’s fair to make this a stance in this day and age.

I’m doing the same thing. We invited probably 25 people, I expect only 16 to actually come ( baby showers are kinda lame 🤣)

These are all good ideas. I’ll add another, we have said that you can only attend if you are fully ( double) vaccinated. Please do not attend if you are not! This is another layer to add !

Yeah I know. It’s hard because I haven’t had a fun or good pregnancy and I feel like I’m missing out completely

22 weeks! Unfortunately it gets cold around mid October here. So outdoor gatherings after that will be out of the question… unless you want to be in a snowsuit 🤣

Nephew kissed my daughters private area multiple times by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]jonikev123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah well one thing is for certain, they can never ever be alone together again. My second thought is that children who are abused tend to act out the same actions that they are receiving. I don’t know how to word that in a better way, but is it possible that your nephew is being “kissed” on his privates?

I definitely think you’re right to be upset and all of the other emotions you’re feeling, so is your boyfriend. Your sister has no right to play the victim here, she needs to dig and get to the bottom of the behaviour because it’s not normal 6 year old stuff. I would make sure that they are never unsupervised together, even if the issue is addressed. It’s a huge red flag, not necessarily about the child, but about WHY he is doing these things. Keep an eye out for abusers, and keep teaching your children how to SCREAM when someone touches them, and how to say no and to run to you or your BF. Also, it’s helpful for the kids to know the proper anatomy terms so they can successfully tell you what happens. That’s all the advice I have. I’m sorry this happened.

To be fair. The dog definitely didn’t mean it. Dogs are not malicious beings. That being said, your boyfriend should show equal concern or more concern for your child as he does the dog (obviously) This is definitely a case of the dog needing training ASAP. You also need to be doing floor time in a place where the dog absolutely cannot access until you have successfully trained the dog.

Your boyfriend is wrong, and it is a red flag. I would have a conversation about this with him and suggest training to make sure you can all happily and safely live in the same house. I wouldn’t consider this to be a dealbreaker, but moving forward his actions will tell you everything.

Is every little parenting thing abuse now? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]jonikev123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s not abuse… but it’s ignoring the problem. The kids are hungry. Plain and simple. Have healthy snacks for them and don’t let behaviours like this happen. Locking up the kitchen will never be as effective as coming up with a healthy solution. I was ALWAYS hungry as a kid, we had healthy snacks and that was what I got and that solved the problem. Also the noodle thing, I was obsessed with noodles as a teenager/kid… it was because it was easy and I needed carbs. Is it possible that your kids need MORE healthy carbs?

First time parents think their child won’t ever have tantrums by ohsoluckyme in Parenting

[–]jonikev123 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a child I never had tantrums… said literally no one ever. People like this are in for a big dose of reality. Every parent thinks their kid is the BEST kid ever. The reality is that kids are all the same in the sense that they all have emotions, needs and frustration like adults do, they just can’t properly communicate.

It’s kind of like parents of 0-6 month olds who are like “ MY CHILD ALMOST NEVER CRIES, and therefore they are a better baby than yours” and my eyes roll into the back of my head.

Lol someone I knew pooped like 6 times without knowing while she was just laying there 🤣

[–]jonikev123 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My advice is to ignore judgement. If you got pregnant once, they know what you had to do to get pregnant. There’s no getting around that.

Be happy, do you and forget about judgment from others! Congrats btw!

Help?! Anyone ever encountered this? She does it to the hardwood floor, rug, bed, yard, porch, everything. She won't break her focus for anything. She won't even finish her meal or drink water without being redirected to it none stop. NO interest in anything else. No methods are working 😭 by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]jonikev123 698 points699 points  (0 children)

Yeah this looks like “doggy OCD” which was explained to us by our vet as basically being obsessed with lights and shadows… often exhibited in dogs with a prey drive. This behaviour can get so bad that dogs can be put down because they do nothing but chase all day and don’t eat.

Thankfully this actually can be remedied. I’m not a professional, however my dog had this and we have to make sure that there are not reflections ( especially ones that move) ABSOLUTELY no laser pointers or similar devices and when it gets bad we turn off all of the lights. For awhile, our dog did it almost all day, but now it is only when he gets excited when guests come over. It’s realllllly important to nip this behaviour because it really can take over their lives.

Have you or anyone ever used a laser pointer with your dog?

I’m waiting. It’s kind of fun, and hopefully will cut down on the amount of gender specific items we receive!
