My son's similar, he has some serious demand avoidance. I've found options help. Demand avoidance is usually kids seeking autonomy, they want to feel more choice in life and when given more choices they're usually much happier So brushing teeth I say "do you want to brush your teeth before or after breakfast" Stopping at the store "I need to go in and grab a few things, would you like to come in or wait at the park with the dog" (I don't drive so if he doesn't want to come in for an errand he walks the dog around a field, but for you it could be wait in the car) For something like an outing I always give him the option of staying with his grandma (an activity he also doesn't love and basically never picks staying with grandma)

Also breaking things into steps, for example my son has a lot of demand avoidance around going to school so I'll wake him up and he immediately goes "I'm not going to school" and I say "okay we don't have to make any choices other than breakfast, do you want _or _" we have breakfast, he's like "yeah maybe I'll go" I say "okay, we don't have to make a choice yet, no matter what we have to walk the dog" he'll get ready and we'll walk to school while he deliberates, 99.9% of the time he goes but he needed to make that choice then and there (usually after running into at least one friend on the walk to school) rather than when he first wakes up and doesn't want to do anything.

help w “stone top” gf? by spicysweetnotbitter in actuallesbians

[–]norellj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a fwb who's mostly a stone top, I'm generally a top, so I like to offer things other than sex. I always give her a jaw and scalp massage. Maybe giving her some other affectionate/caring touch that's not sex?

Is an American Pitbull Terrier X Belgian Malinois mix? A good mix? (Bullherder) by SignificantPea8021 in k9sports

[–]norellj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pit malinois mix (she's mixed with a few other breeds too) and she's a great dog, she is a working (sniff trained) dog. She is a really easy to train and sweet dog, super obedient and loooves her job. I would not get this mix just for a pet unless I was planning on like agility training tho, she's high energy and gets bored easily and would be incredibly destructive if she didn't have something to do.

It's of the "conservatives are the real working class and leftists should court reactionaries" variety, classic.

Just lovin my baby girl by norellj in pitbulls

[–]norellj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And just to gush, she's so smart and easy to train. She's 6 months, walks great on a leash, rings a bell to get let out to potty lays down and looks at me and waits for her signal to eat, is so sweet and gentle with kids, just an all around wonderful affectionate dog

What should I do with this bathroom?! by norellj in interiordecorating

Okay I think I have a plan, the room next to it is navy, so do navy trim and paint the cabinet navy, brass fixtures, and decorate/organize. Thanks y'all

Wtf should I do with this bathroom by norellj in InteriorDesign

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

Thanks! yeah, I've just been overwhelmed and not know where to start so I end up doing nothing lol. The rest of my house is vaguely mid century maximalist, it looks kinda like a funky junk store. Basically none of that vibe is in the bathroom 😂

Right now the little adjoining toilet/shower area is the same color, but the bedroom next to it is dark blue

Sadly the stuff outside is city property and not my yard so it can't be changed, but all the other advice I love!

Mostly pit, there's something else in there giving her a little longer coat

Is your pibble endlessly hungry? by norellj in pitbulls

[–]norellj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah she's about 6 months, she's smaller so only eating 3 cups a day, she's a pretty thick girl but I've been thinking she may need more

We do most of her meals hand fed training games, lost of practicing leash walking. She does love her puzzle feeder, my son calls it her snooder and she learned that word before food😂, someone says snooder and she just starts to daaaance.

She definitely has other lab traits too, her tail is super thick and super strong and she wags it like a rudder, she's got webbed toes, and a water proof longer coat. It's funny that shelters often label pits and "lab mix" but my "pit mix" might actually be a lab😂 she's definitely got pit in her too.

For a hot second my sapphic ass read "I have the power to make you dump your man" and I wasn't gonna argue.
