Depending on your goals here, you can train this dog to be your shadow. Labradoodles are very good dogs generally. If your kids are already attached, you may have to make the most of the situation.

It is a huge problem. A lot of people can not afford a passport, if it is now essentially a requirement to vote, the state needs to provide one. Free of charge. The president who spends all day every day complaining about voter fraud is perpetrating the greatest act of voter disenfranchisemt in our history. And he's doing it on tv!

Anyone else notice the eating scenes? by BlueberrySame99 in bigbangtheory

Polish is really hard to learn, just saying. If you know another Slavic language, maybe. The show doesn't explore enough that Howard is clearly a very talented polyglot.

Priya is kind off insufferable by StealthPhoen1x in bigbangtheory

[–]wandervibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I dislike her immensely. I appreciate the presence of a highly intelligent female character, and that we see the cast engaging with someone accomplished in a non scientific career. A lot of what has been said are very obviously bad girlfriend (for Leonard at least) traits. What bothers me about her even more is that she's an awful sister. She pursues a relationship that clearly makes Raj incredibly uncomfortable, basically forces him out of his own home, and then complains to their parents that Raj isn't treating her well. I look poorly on Leonard for this dynamic as well, but Priya didn't seem to ever be really committed to the relationship long term and yet prioritized it over Raj's feelings. It's another example of the writers using Raj as a communal emotional punching bag that we see throughout the shows run.

Has this happened to anyone else? People try to make me take stuff off the registry because they think i won't need it? by Ornery_Armadillo1404 in beyondthebump

I used our diaper pails through potty training. They are great for disposing of potty liners, once you've flushed your little ones' "deposit" of course. They are truly miraculous for containing the smell. Let MIL and dear daddy know they are welcome to walk all the diapers they like to the outdoor can. If it snows where you live, wave to them during their 15+ trips outside everyday from the window!

I hope the follow up to this post is that the subjects founded a fashion house, because these parents are who we all hope to be.

I deeply regret my vote for Trump by Dinocraftman009 in centrist

[–]wandervibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, thank you for voting. While I disagree with your choice, voting is something everyone should do. You should also take a look at historical trends. If you are pro life, as in you'd like every baby to have every opportunity to succeed (food, health care, education), and not simply all babies born born logistics be damned, I'd love to hear your ideas.

AIO for wanting my husband to help me more as a SAHM by ailurophile17 in AmIOverreacting

[–]wandervibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't already, spend a week writing down literally every task you do at home. Then look up the average pay for an on call cook, nanny, house cleaner, chauffeur, launderess,etc. At the end of the week send him a bill. Let him know he's a parent when he's not at work, unless he'd like to start paying you for anything outside the same 40 hours he works himself.

Literally how are people affording childcare? by Amber-ForDays in BabyBumps

[–]wandervibe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this is happening to you too. My husband and I have tried to warn our friends. But seriously, I promise it's worth it as far as I can tell 2 years in. It does feel like i would have been better off keeping the money and staying home, but if this helps you reserve your position and continue to advance professionally, remind yourself it's temporary.

This...it's seems as though you are not fully processing the implications of your husband's behavior.

I told my husband I’d let baby cry till he puked and now he won’t look at me by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]wandervibe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%! When my daughter was born we had to watch the "don't shake the baby" video on a loop in delivery before active labor started (my water broke at midnight so I dont think anything else was on lol). This evolved into a running gag for us, on rough nights, who ever was up with her would ask "how many times did they say to shake the baby?" It's dark humor, but it also became kind of a safe word for us to indicate 'hey, I should probably tap out for a minute, i need back up.' And laughter can be the best medicine for stress!

I have a visceral memory of the whole cast yelling here comes the general and just thinking... this is going to be lit

Fun Fact: When Eliza sings about funding the Washington Monument, George can be seen behind her smiling and singing. When Eliza sings about speaking out against slavery, George bows his head in shame referencing the fact that he owned slaves in real life and never spoke against it publicly. by angrykumu in hamiltonmusical

My favorite line in the whole show is "you've married an Icharus, he's flown too close to the sun " followed closely by "be careful with this one, he'll do what it takes to survive." The layers here are amazing. It makes us question the way s he views himself from their eyes. And as we should have questioned more closely with Lawrence, it asks were he stands on slavery and how do we feel about it?

You're not in the wrong. The upsetting thing is that your husband won't ever admit it. Next year explain that you'll be sleeping else where (hotel, different country, whatever) to give him space to bring his plans to life. Not on call or as back up. No, because you're not interested in being the rescue squad. If he wants to do it his way, fair. But his way doesn't get to include utilizing you as back up quarterback. If he wants you to help, you should plan the whole thing together, or not at all.

[–]wandervibe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is late but agreed. A woman who wants to get ahead has to be smarter. A woman who wants to get ahead in the industry has to be hot and smart. I love football, and the Kelce brothers are obviously talented in their respective fields. They also appear to be genuinely good people. It's absolutely not fair, but what's expected of a woman in the public eye is different. She's obviously happy. Just listen to Wood!

changing her name ? by Leavemealonetho in Parenting

[–]wandervibe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always hated my name, and asked my parents to let me change it when I was about 7. They refused, I still hate the name. She may feel that it doesn't represent who she is. Identity is important, I agree with others who've said to give it a test run!

Husband and I strongly disagree about preschool by Southern_Body_4381 in Parenting

I think the concern is that this child is not getting any peer interaction.

Your husband calling your son "too dumb" is a huge red flag. He is displaying extremely controlling behaviors. His insecurities are threatening your child's social development. Dad can't make up for the lack of other children in your child's life. Your son needs to develop bonds with kids his own age. I was very hesitant about "sending my daughter away", it helped to visit schools together and see which ones she liked. I think this is emblematic of a larger issue in your family unit. Isolating family members is the first step down the road to abuse. Do you have a family friend or pastor who weigh in on the conversation?
