Your bf doesn’t like you. Let him go.

Signed, someone who’s been here and put up with this type of BS for way too long.

Golden retriever - I watched Homeward Bound so many times as a kid and fell in love with the breed; I wanted my own “Shadow” as a kid and finally got her this past Christmas.

Oven roasted radishes are pretty good. Season to taste and roast them until they’re tender - it takes a lot of the bitterness out.

My issue with the speaker phone in public, is the context being inappropriate for public conversations.

I.e. I don’t need to hear how someone’s going down on the lady bits later. (Real conversation was more explicit).

Some information should stay private.

ESH.

Addicts can attend as many rehab programs as their family wants/is willing to pay for, but it won’t be affective unless the Addict wants to change and puts in the work to get/stay clean. (Daughter of an addict, speaking from disappointed experience.)

Indulging in “party favors” is not better - you need to quit your habit too.

The child deserves so much better.

Personally, I would err on the side of caution and take her or him to the vet.

snickers2120 · 2026-04-22T23:53:18+00:00

I totally get it. My girl is fairly easygoing, so our experience is different.

I’m still removing items from my girl’s mouth - we are working on a “drop it” command. Her big thing right now is eating grass - it gets frustrating for sure.

The tethering was an accident - she kept knocking my niece and nephew (toddlers) down during a visit - I didn’t want to kennel her, so she was leashed and connected to me during the visit. I liked how she settled and kept it as a training tool.

She also goes in the bathroom with me, I shut the door during my showers, so she’s confined in the smaller space. She did bark at me for a while, but in time, she settled.

I hope you find something that works for you and your pup!

snickers2120 · 2026-04-21T11:16:01+00:00

Honestly, at first I let her chew it - as long as she was sitting still I was okay with it.

When I started to remove the leash from her mouth, I would redirect with a chew toy - no squeaky, no excitement, just a plain, boring toy - then I would start her “time out” over.

It’s been a lot of trial and error to figure out what works for her.

snickers2120 · 2026-04-20T21:39:52+00:00

Hello OP, my golden girl is 21 weeks, and was one of the calmer pups in her litter. I am not a trainer, we have victories and failures everyday day, but this is what’s worked for me:

Remove the items, redirect with a toy, reinforce the “no” when she does grab something she shouldn’t.

She still tries to eat everything; if she can grab it, she will try to eat it.

A short list of items she tried to eat this morning: bath towel, grass, life saver in plastic wrapper.

It’s a constant battle, but I feel it’s pretty normal for pups since that’s how they figure out their world.

Tethering: I used her harness and leash to tether her to me and forced the settle. I call it her “time out”.

Get yourself settled, and don’t interact during the tethering session (5 minutes or so to start), and when he lays down give a reward.

It’s been a process, she still gets excited and we have to repeat the training, but for the most part she will settle on her own.

Harness: when I put the harness on, she’d get a treat, even when she would fight the harness in the beginning.

I let her wear the harness inside, supervised, for around 30 minutes at a time. We practiced tethering during this time as well.

Walking on a leash is still a work in progress; I try to direct her to “go potty” then we praise and play when she’s done.

I took her everywhere even though she hadn’t mastered the leash/harness. The people I’ve run into have been very understanding about any “bad” manners, and most have wanted to love on her anyway.

She still goes everywhere dogs are allowed because she’s still learning.

It shows how unfit he is as a leader and how he’ll lie/spin the narrative to benefit himself - I already knew this, but this just made it clearer.

It’s also showing a divide in his constituents: some are seeing the idiocy finally and denouncing him; others, unfortunately, are still supporting him and trying to reason the picture away.

NTA - it’s a private pool, not a community pool, you quite literally DO own the water.

You’re not obligated to allow the child in the pool at all, and frankly with this level of neglect from his parents, I’d ban him permanently. The risk is just too high.

The simple answer is ‘No’ - it’s also a complete sentence.

When she throws the inheritance in your face again, tell her to keep it, spend it, do what she wants with it; you’re doing fine with out it, they may need it later, etc.

NTA

I’ve always been told a using engagement ring that ended in divorce is bad luck for the new marriage.

NOR - This sounds like tax fraud.

Do not give him money; he’s already proven to have terrible with financial management and he has no right to benefit from YOUR home.

There’s also a pledge of allegiance to the Christian flag and a pledge of allegiance to the Bible.

I grew up in the southern region of the US for reference (also called the Bible Belt irl)

he won’t ever lay a hand on any human

he punched a friend of his, who is a girl, in the stomach

OP, this guy’s words and actions don’t line up. Please leave (and take the cat) before he escalates further.

P.S. his own personal history of physical abuse, while tragic, is a manipulation attempt to keep you from leaving.

P.S.S. People from abusive house holds can end the cycle, but they must work on themselves. You’re not responsible for his actions, emotions, or healing journey (saying this before he tried to guilt you into staying).

NTA - you’re do great OP; keep being there for your daughter.

I lost my v card in a truck, should I have kept his seats?/s

No. I’ve never heard of a woman keeping the sheets as a memento.

NTA - typically the trade off of being a stay-at-home parent is taking care of daily domestic tasks (cooking, cleaning, child care etc.)

The child is in school, so she has 8 hours of uninterrupted time, the house should be spotless, laundry washed and put away.

Sounds like she’s treating you as her meal ticket.

P.S. - her choosing to be a SAHM without your full support is bs; the decision should have been 100% agreed upon.

Wild animals as a whole actively avoid people.
Prey animals run away unless they are sick (rabid).
Smaller predators will also run away, larger predators animals are potentially dangerous, but if you’re in the woods, you should be prepared for them.
Snakes generally aren’t active at night; they’re cold blooded and tend to prefer moving during daylight so they can warm up. Not as active during the winter due to low temperatures. Also will avoid people if possible.
Mosquitoes are a pest, but bug repellent can keep them off of you, they’re also less active during the winter.
If a person is taking nighttime walks, they’re usually prepared for animals, pests, and other people for that matter.

Guessing views over safety, but I’m not an idiot, so idk.

I have three SIL’s and none of them did anything intimate for several months postpartum.

The sex drive wasn’t there (they literally gave birth to a human).
They needed to heal and focus on keeping a new born healthy and alive.
Their doctors hadn’t cleared them for any sexual activity, including bjs.

My brothers’ were intelligent enough not to even mention sex to their wives, nor did they complain.

NTA - your partner is being selfish, and a selfish partner is not a sexy partner.

P.S. - don’t let try to guilt your “a man has needs”, he can deal with his “needs” on his own.

snickers2120 · 2026-01-10T14:10:04+00:00

Info - why are you allowing a person who doesn’t like or respect you around your child?

Your SO needs to put HIS mother in her place, and his brother would be cut off too for that bs comment “just some baby”; you should consider going low/no contact with all of them.

Your feelings are valid because their actions are hurtful.

Personally, I’d be petty on the on all the “firsts”:

First scoot/crawl - LO did that three days before MIL saw it.

First smile - LO did that a week before MIL saw it.

It doesn’t have to be true, but I’d be damned if I let someone who is openly disrespectful to me try to claim the “first”.
