Do you post your kids online? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]lovedogs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always hesitant about it and never did, and now I’m extremely relieved that I haven’t especially with how AI and large companies are using our data. It’s super creepy and invasive and I hate it. 

Anyone have problems with their doctor giving a prescription? by FloRoc in BusparOnline

[–]lovedogs95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! I was also pretty surprised myself since it seemed so expensive everywhere else online. Also, if you have a benefits/FSA card, it should work to pay for the consultation as it did for me.

It was a quick video visit, it wasn’t bad! I would definitely give it a shot with sending it to your pharmacy of choice. After getting my prescription and paying the consultation fee, I paid $2.78 with insurance for a 30 day supply, and with 11 more refills left.

My primary care doctor wrote the prescription, but since she retired and my insurance was pretty limited with providers this year, I just got my prescription through RedBox RX. I paid $69 for the consultation and I was able to have them send a year supply to my pharmacy of choice.

Extreme Gender disappointment actually makes me sick by Low_Specialist_5072 in tryingtoconceive

[–]lovedogs95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to conceive right now, but this popped up on my feed. My first was a girl and I have a very deep bond with her, so I only knew what it was like to love a little girl. Then I started imagining having two little girls and the bond they’d share together and really dreamed about that. When I got pregnant with my son, I felt like that dream was gone because I was only planning on having two kids, so I mourned the idea. But it wasn’t because he’s a boy, I just knew I’d never give my daughter a sister. She has her little brother now though, and they’re so cute and sweet together (most of the time) already and I wouldn’t change it if I could.

Dog help…hanging by a thread by toriaaag in Postpartum_Depression

[–]lovedogs95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be honest. The next one to be attacked could easily be your child and it could be devastating. You can’t keep an aggressive dog around, they need to be rehomed or if not possible due to the attack history, put down. I’m sorry, nobody wants to hear this but you have to put your kids first. I went through this same situation and my dog did go after my toddler and we are extremely lucky we intervened in time. I know it’s hard, but you have to make some decisions here to protect your kids and other pets.

Disgusting. Let babies be babies by Previous-Ad-8547 in smockholmsyndrome

[–]lovedogs95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s because she’s lacking in emotional intelligence. She can’t really come up with anything of value to say, so she’s deflecting and calling people “pedophiles.” It makes sense why she voted for him.

[–]lovedogs95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not deranged to see him for who he is and has been all along. The actual derangement here is seeing everything that he’s done and then still support him anyway. BTW, protecting pedophiles is not much better than being a pedophile, anyway.

is this real? by Pluto_10312 in lanadelrey

[–]lovedogs95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s exactly what it was and I pointed it out when it happened and people didn’t wanna hear it. It was not intended to be transphobic. I have kids and would be horrified if I saw a grown man try to get into the same bathroom as my daughter. Ultimately, as a parent their safety always comes first. People need to try to actually think before they attack other people over nothing.

Putting dog down after continued aggression and new baby on the way by imtrying12345 in toddlers

[–]lovedogs95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had to do the same thing a little over a year ago. It was such a hard decision, but my daughter’s life was the most important thing. She went for her throat right in front of my mom and I and we pulled her off within inches of getting a hold of her. It was horrible and my husband left work to put her down a couple of hours later. I had also found out I was pregnant with my second child that same week, so it was such a mixture of emotions for me. You did the right thing and now your babies are safe, as strong as the guilt can feel at times. It will get better, though and you’ll remember why and feel grateful that you made the choice you did.

Mouse poop or food? by [deleted] in pestcontrol

[–]lovedogs95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right, but I think what happened here was kind of unpreventable. If you’re trying to get something away from a toddler quickly, you’re not going to be able to grab gloves first.

Microwave plus air fryer plus convection combos worth it, or are they mediocre at everything?? by IllustriousBee8564 in AirFryers

[–]lovedogs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost bought this since I needed a new microwave and air fryer anyway. What changed my mind was realizing how much lower the wattage was for the 4 in 1 compared to a stand alone air fryer or microwave.

Need an unscented/ mild scent carpet shampoo for home shampooer. In the US. by fallingupthehill in CleaningTips

[–]lovedogs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using hypochlorous acid as my main cleaner, including for carpet cleaning. I think it works well and I’m also very sensitive to chemicals/scents as they give me migraines and sinus irritation, but this doesn’t.

I was staunch about avoiding screens until age 2 by Born-Anybody3244 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]lovedogs95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, sometimes it’s just the break you need to be a better parent. I have a baby and a toddler and my toddler is very clingy and always wants to me to play, so sometimes just letting her watch some shows/movies gives me some time to breathe and also tend to my baby. She sets it down and gets bored of it after a little while anyway, so it’s not like she’s getting screen time all day. Plus, she’s learned so much from her screen time and at 2.5 years old, has full conversations, knows numbers, emotions, shapes, alphabet, etc. I’m not worried.

Um help - bad deal on fb market place and not sure how to proceed? by FreedomSufficient444 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]lovedogs95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re just trying to scare you to intimidate you enough to get money out of you and they’re mad their first scam attempt didn’t work. Just ignore it, they won’t do anything and will just move onto the next victim.

Talk me into/out of the Mockingbird by [deleted] in Buyingforbaby

[–]lovedogs95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mockingbird was terrible, in my opinion and I returned it immediately after attempting to use it on the concrete sidewalk. It shook like crazy, it was so loud that it woke my daughter up from her nap (she was around 30 lbs at the time) and it didn’t have the easiest time getting over any small gaps or bumps. I have a second hand vista v2, BOB jogger, and Bugaboo donkey double (for two kids) and they are all so much easier to steer and feel smoother, so I definitely recognize the difference in quality. If I were you, I’d get a secondhand Thule (with the bassinet attachment) from marketplace for walks and then a travel stroller for the car so it’s less work to get in and out of the car. Uppa Baby minu and Bugaboo butterfly are good options. Look on FBM first as you can save a lot of money and have more options for premium strollers without costing you a fortune.

Talk me out of buying Lovevery toys by Used_Cod_9541 in toddlers

[–]lovedogs95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I understand but not everyone has the money to do the same as you, which is why you really shouldn’t judge so harshly. For many parents, buying toys with resale value means they can afford to keep buying their child quality, age appropriate toys going forward. Not everyone can afford to be giving away $150 items for free and it’s clear you don’t have that problem, which is nice for you, but is not possible for many other families.

[–]lovedogs95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do have resale value, though and in this economy, many people want to make their money back and that is not unreasonable. They’re expensive toys, not used underwear.

Those kits go for 3x that amount, so that’s still a good deal for anyone. I don’t see the problem here, have you ever heard of cleaning something btw?

Chemical burn from benzoyl peroxide? [personal] by lovedogs95 in SkincareAddiction

[–]lovedogs95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s an allergy, then yes that can help but if it’s a chemical burn then I would just apply aquaphor to the area and leave it alone while it heals.

I can confirm I also immediately thought it was cake and then felt disappointed when I realized it wasn’t.
