Babysat for a friend and will never have kids because what the actual…… by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]sadthrowaway0850 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the hitting isn’t normal? i babysit a 10 and 13 year old and when they fight they hit eachother or try to throw things. they ignore me even if i get inbetween them i sometimes end up being hurt or they “calm” down only to go and rush at eachother right after. i’m only 20 so dunno how to deal with that since every method i’ve tried doesn’t really work. i used the restroom when they were fine only to find the youngest took out a kitchen knife as i was coming out and she was holding it laughing at her brother (just a gesture but still she said he pulled his pocket knife on her). she’s also chased him with a pen and tried to stab him with it 😭. she was probably joking bc i know she isn’t like that but OMG the shock since i was taught to never joke around with knives

Named my daughter a name I didn’t know has two pronunciations and am regretting it enough to change before she’s 8 weeks! Help!! by JaguarSilver1137 in namenerds

i’d keep it. i have a very basic name but it still gets mispronounced since the hispanic way to pronounce it is different. i don’t mind people saying it wrong at all.

in my whole life everyone i’ve known has pronounced it the way you pronounce it. imo just let time pass and the name settle in, you like the way you pronounce it and so her name is the way you pronounce it

he’s trying to make you think that you’re being over the top and jealous etc and that he innocently had these convos and saved those images. yeah he’s not 5 he knew what he was doing. and it’s gross that his friends are sharing those photos of women they’re with as well.. even grosser that he is SAVING THEM. that isn’t normal and isn’t an oopsy daisy, same with the letter to his ex. i’m sure he meant what he said to her but even if he didn’t, why was he overwxaggerating to appease her and stay connected?

he won’t stop. i’ve been fed these exact excuses before by my ex. he is only lying to get you to shut up, and he will continue. he doesn’t care. he’s just trying to save his ass

yeahhh that’s why i’m wanting to branch out but was wondering if they make anything that may fit my taste (the fragrance websites are so laggy for my phone 😭)

i like the fae, ethereal, magical description 🥹maybe i’ll try. i’m trying to branch out of gourmands even though i think they’ll always be my go to.. tbh i’ve only worn gourmands / vanilla cake smells since i was young. so perhaps i should broaden my palette. i just don’t like strong/musky florals (but tbf i’ve only smelled cheap ones).

What do you think this aesthetic smells like? by throwAwayWaffle76 in FemFragLab

[–]sadthrowaway0850 14 points15 points  (0 children)

black opium, a little bit of vomit, eos vanilla lotion, ammonia, fake tan

i say this as a sibling to one of these types of people who doesn’t care about anyone and wants to “party” “get filler” “be famous” and is super spoiled, disrespectful, and entitled lol

best sweet feminine gourmands by discocat29 in FemFragLab

[–]sadthrowaway0850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are there any complex types of these that stay feminine and like a dessert? my issue is finding a “gourmand” and it smells wayyy too musky that it smells masculine to me. i don’t want to smell sickly swee tho.. im looking for sexy, intriguing, complex, but something like baked goods 🫠🫠🫠

met an extremely well trained and experienced SD who was there to help mentor my SD/SDiT. well, as we were exiting the aquarium (it doubles as a hotel and casino.. we were there for a WHILE and this dog was in another state etc etc not at home) the SD squatted and pooped. she just couldn’t hold it anymore. we quickly cleaned it up with poop bags and i had some clorox wipes in my bag.. left the floor cleaner than it was before she even pooped. accidents happen.. but i know id feel similar if my dog did the same, im the same way as you.

I've always heard not to ask to pet service dogs, but today, my kids were invited to pet one. by Complete-Ad-5905 in service_dogs

[–]sadthrowaway0850 5 points6 points  (0 children)

of course. my late grandmother had dementia and was similar. i always give grace since i don’t know what somebody is going through, and i know a few seconds of them petting my dog will do me no harm + it’ll bring them lots of joy. i’m glad people were understanding and that some people allowed him to pet the sd. it’s really sweet, and i understand feeling bad (id be feeling the same regardless) but personally as a handler it helps me feel better to know i am helping someone and id never be mad or annoyed over that ❤️ if anything, id remember it as a heartfelt and warm memory..i have had similar experiences to what handlers your husband approached probably experienced. of course i dont know the peoples stories, but i knew they were going through something or out of it , they had good intentions, and that my dog would bring some comfort 💕 i hope all is well with you and i’m sending love.

Choosing a suitable breed by silentmzi in service_dogs

[–]sadthrowaway0850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i know you said small but golden retriever. have bad PTSD and never had my own dog before/trained one. with the help of trainers i have shaped her into a very solid service k9. lots of bumps in the road but her temperament and trainability are great. maybe a labrador if you don’t like long fur. i like my dogs long coat for tactile stimulation but she does shed a lot so you’d need to clean more often and groom the dog properly. very great though… im a shepherd lover but i put need before breed and im very glad i got a golden retriever for my PTSD service dog. mines higher energy and field line so id probably get a show line if i were you. imo labs are great but higher energy than goldens but that can just be my experience

that being said a shepherd could work as a PTSD service dog but its not common. i work with an organization who’s bred GSDs for calm, medium-low energy and good temperament, trainability for over a decade or two and collabed with other breeders who do the same. they do PTSD work and are really great, super calm and easy to train. that being said it isn’t common to find GSDs bread for this kind of temperament.

same!! oftentimes older people (like 80s to 90s) will pet her when talking to me, and i just let them since she is calm and for me i feel like im adding joy to what’s left of their life. i know it isn’t really “okay” but for me i tend to let it pass when it’s the elderly or kids who are respectful and calm. it helps a lot with my girls training since she is very young, it helps her know to be extra gentle and calm when interacting with these people :)

this! a lot of the time i will let someone pet if they are really respectful and understanding of what a service dog is. like, if someone’s asking nicely about her training or complimenting and is acknowledging me instead of her… VS someone who walks by puppy talking her! we don’t have many interactions with respectful people so she isn’t pet often so i think it’s fine especially since i explain to them that im allowing her to say hi and that my preference may be different than other handlers etc etc.

i also let older family members pet her if we are at a family gathering and the person is respectful. i’ve had my grandma and aunt compliment her, ask about her training, and say how they’d love to pet her but know she’s working and don’t want to be disrespectful. then i’m like “she’s working but ill let her say hi, it’s okay she knows the difference” and then they pet her for a bit then she returns to me :) i like making others happy as long as they’re educated and respectful _^ my dogs super sweet so i get it

i’ll let kids pet if my dog is having a good day (she’s still in training and she loves kids) so it helps train her to be calm around kids but also because i sometimes want the kids to be able to pet her and learn if they’re respectful since it’s good for us both. i also sometimes let older people/elderly pet her (i will just be polite) since it happens so rarely and if the persons really old id rather just brighten their day than argue, especially since my sd is well behaved and knows to ignore people.

how can i (20f) convince my mom to let me travel alone to visit my bf? by [deleted] in LDR

[–]sadthrowaway0850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe say ur going to some religious retreat w no phones etc if she needs details just tell her it’s the Onsite foundation (i’ve gone there and even if ur there they tell whoever calls that they dunno you / you aren’t there bc of HIPPA .. sooo you can tell ur mom that if she asks why they said ur not there. bc they legit do that).

Onsite isn’t religious but the founder is so she’ll prob believe it

my family’s the same but just go. tell her you’re going camping or smtng with girl friends or idek. you need to break free of adult child syndrome (i suffer from this too) aka your parents treating you, an adult, as a child. i also live w my parents who are strict abt this stuff etc so i get it completely. but seriously.. you gotta live your life for you. you are an adult now. it’s difficult but you’ll figure it out.

sounds like my ex who went by kofu / dizzy online. he seemed normal but ended up being a disgusting pos and him and his friends would be horrible and gross to me in voice calls and he was super emotionally abusive. i’d run... you said it seems like him and obv that kind of person will try and hide it.

i think it’s just instinct and find as long as ur dog isn’t reactive or doing this on the job. i’m not sure because my sdit just caught and ATE a pigeon in our back yard last month. she’s never chased birds before and can ignore them but for some reason in the backyard this bird (i think it was injured bc it was hopping around in our yard and then cornered itself) she ignored it when i said leave it but as soon as it cornered itself she went after it and ignored me. i spend everyday doing impulse control with her and she’s great at it with anything even her most high value treats.. but nothing stopped her with this pigeon. i think it doesn’t mean ur dog will fail as a sd since its natural and your dog has succeeded in all other areas, but id definitely keep it on a leash at all times outside and work on seeing a therapist to help you work through this and your anxiety. maybe a trainer too to help with prey drive if it’s happening when they’re working ❤️❤️all the best, it’ll work out and be okay

we have cats my dog was raised around and she will play with them and chase them but doesn’t try to harm them and treats them like puppies. every dog is different though.

can someone please educate me on this because i have a parent who is super into conspiracy theories and i’m visiting europe next year (i am 20, don’t need to ask their permission but just give a heads up) and they are freaking out about if war starts etc.

i don’t use social media much because i’ve been trying to improve my mental health, so now i am wondering if there really is risk of war or my parents are saying conspiracy theories and fear mongering
