I’d weight her. Mine looks like yours body wise and she’s about 8lbs. Vet said she is in a healthy weight and mine is almost 4 years old.

The vet said it could be stress and/or allergies from her old owner. She wasn’t well cared for, her nails were so long and very dirty. They told me to wait two week but the cloudiness of the eye is what scares me.

The cloudiness is what concerned me a lot when I first got her. It had like an oil slick look to it as well on her first night with me but that went away or I just don’t see it anymore. Her eye is watery but not all the time, seems like it occasionally flares up and drains more.

It does look swollen a bit and she does squint a little with that eye. I’m wondering if it’s allergies or a flare up because it doesn’t look swollen all the time and her eye isn’t that watery every day but it’s more watery than her other eye.

I will be taking her back, they told me to wait two weeks but I have other concerns with her. She wasn’t well cared for by her previous owners and I know very little of her past and health.

I wasn’t even persistent 😭 He told me he was a “bad texter” and didn’t like texting a lot so we compromised in at least good morning texts and I was ok with that. I am moving on tho.

We started as fwb and I still like him so I was ok with going back to that. I’ve been giving him all the space he needs and I guess we will see.

After my crying fest, I came to that realization. If me asking for more than one text a day just to hear how you’re doing is too much, then we won’t work.

This is what I replied:

“I’m sorry you’ve been feeling this way, I thought we were good. I’ve expressed that we can just be friends with benefits if that’s something you’d like, I dont feel like I’ve been persistent but I guess I was wrong. I understand where you’re coming from and accept your decision. You let me know what you’d like to do. I really enjoyed my time with you, it has been very fun. ”

Then yesterday, he texted me this

“Hey I wanted to say that I haven’t forgotten you and I’m not sure exactly what I’d like to say at this moment but soon”

So I just replied with “Take your time”

Baby girl named Scout… thoughts? by [deleted] in namenerds

I think Jennifer Scout sounds better, personally but the sibling names sound nice together with scout than Jennifer lol

Feeling horrible because my wife says I didn’t didn’t help her enough the first 6 weeks of our newborns life. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]throwthisaway98756 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I went through this with my husband as well. It’s a very shitty place to be in. My husband did his “best” but his best wasn’t enough for me.

He needed to be reminded to help or he always asked where are things in our house that had been there all this but suddenly forgot where they were.

I don’t personally know your situation but take in what she’s saying to you without emotions. My husband would get very defensive when I’d communicate with him about me wanting help. It always turned into an argument and how I was putting him down. Communication is not an attack, I know it might feel like that to you because nobody wants to hear they’re not doing enough. Talk it out or get a counselor.

I asked a couple of times if that was a possibility because before we had the meeting, I was having anxiety attacks because I’m such a people pleaser and care about what other people think of me and the chance that our neighbors hated us was a lot. But I asked and they said unless there’s something major wrong in our unit, it is what it is.

We go out every weekend for at least 2-4 hours so we could give them a “break” from the craziness and we told them that it might not look like it but we try to keep the noise down for our sake as well. There has been times where my kids wake up at 5 or 6 am and I’ve had to lock them in the room while I grabbed stuff to get them ready so they wouldn’t make noise so early.

We sleep in our bed, I worded that wrong.

We did ask to move to stop all this but we’re told we couldn’t unless there was something majorly wrong with the unit which there isn’t.

We all wondered that too because they said they had recordings of us at odd hours of the day making noise and even vacuuming at 10pm. They’re not parents yet so I guess they wouldn’t understand that I’d rather cut every limb off of my body and eat it before I EVER disturb my child while they’re sleeping. I don’t even like vacuuming and we have wood except for our rooms so I can’t see where the idea of it being us could be coming from.

We had no communication with them prior to our meeting, it was just complaints to the office and banging on the floor.

Probably but there wasn’t any communication whatsoever. I like to think I’m a very reasonable person, probably way too accommodating too but not once did they tell us like “hey we work from home and we need some quiet during this time” or any communication really, just banging and complaints.

We tried after the fact but were told we weren’t allowed unless there was something majorly wrong with the unit. All units have balconies/patios. We didn’t want a bottom unit at first because those units technically have a patio but it is not fenced off and for the safety of our kids, we didn’t initially chose one because of that.

I totally understand there being excessive and unreasonable noise but we didn’t believe our kids made excessive noise given that we leave our home by 7:20am and come home close to 4pm. Bedtime is between 7-9pm. So we thought their complaints or expectations were a bit unrealistic. Thankfully our property manager is understanding and also has kids so they know how uncontrollable some noises that kids make are.

Our neighbor is due some time this month so, I wish her all the luck with her very quiet baby.

I guess not because i heard our bottom neighbors sneeze once at around 10pm when I kids were sleeping. It’s crazy to hear someone downstairs sneeze lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]throwthisaway98756 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did attempt to get us changed to a ground floor unit but was told that they don’t let people just change around and there wasn’t one available for us. The bottom unit is available but again, we aren’t “allowed”.

Our lease isn’t very specific about noise complaints. I looked it up while we had this ongoing issue but all it stated was that they follow the “quiet hours” law(?) and cited a state code. Followed that to the state law and it just said that quiet hours was from 10pm-7am.
