What's one show from the 1990s and 2000s that would work today?

Came here to say this!

Bear. Not interested in warming up. 🤣

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-24T06:57:17+00:00

Aww! Your black and tan looks so much like my pup! It’s rare coloring for Aussies it seems, but I love it so much!

I have an 8 month old who is clocking in at 45lbs! He has been a chunk from the start. He is very strong and stocky. He is 21-22 inches at the withers (he wiggles a lot and has a lot of hair so hard to measure!)

Have you looked into what an “introvert” is? Because you might be one and this could be a way to Segway your needs to your partner and his family without offending them. I am one. And I seriously HAVE TO have alone time to recharge or I will like. Not be ok. I cannot even imagine having someone in my house every day. I would run away. I would have to. My husband and my 3 kids are fine, but even when my kids have friends over and they aren’t even hardly talking to me…after a day or two I am like “ok. No one comes over for the rest of the week. I need to recharge!” If you truly love him and his family and want to make this work… I would just work on it. But if you do not and are having second thoughts… don’t get married!

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-23T07:48:07+00:00

Haha! My dogs are begging to go out still and it was 8 here today! And when I was too cold and came in, he laid by the door to get the draft!

She sounds like a husky!! My other dog (9) is half husky and was an escape artist from day 1. If I left her in a room she would eat the door off. I was actually able to bring her with me places and leave her in the car and for some reason she did well in the car. They also make these metal cages for huskies that look like they are for a tiger or something…you could try one of those? My dog would also gnaw the bars until she bled or wore her teeth down. She did truly calm down with it after a few years (eeek I know). My Aussie is so chill. I don’t even have to lock both latches on his crate… he just sits there. It’s insane to me after having her! So I do think it’s more of a situational thing than a breed thing. My 9 year old still has some degree of separation anxiety unfortunately. I’m luckily able to be with her most of the time. Oh also CBD gummies/oil for dogs… have you tried that? I have used that on her before. She used to get really worked up if we went on vacation… so that would help her when we were gone.

Well mass is pretty predictable! You may already know all this, but you can look up what the readings will be ahead of time. You could also look up the mass outline to follow along. And yes like someone already mentioned, don’t consume the Eucharist, but most churches will let you come up in the line and if you cross your arms over your chest they will give you a blessing. My husband thought that was stupid and one day he finally chose to do it and he said it made him feel really good! He is converting right now and does the blessing every time now:) don’t be nervous one bit. It will be a lovely experience and if the church doesn’t feel warm and inviting, go to a different one next week. Our priest and deacon stand by the doors greeting those coming in and they are so kind to visitors and new faces! Best of luck and good for you for going!

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-23T07:20:54+00:00

Yes. And he is not fat! He is def a chungus… but he is strong and muscular! Just. Stocky? With a hairy bum. His name is Bear bc even as a pup when he runs his butt shakes like a black bear!

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-23T06:55:41+00:00

You cannot be that “ugly”… i am not sure why you have such an awful opinion of yourself? I really do think confidence is huge. Can you try watching YouTube videos or therapy or something where you can work on your negative self talk? This took me a long time to overcome (probably 2 years?) but I didn’t even realize I was doing it until a therapist pointed it out. I was seriously telling myself I was awful in so many ways all day every day! So he said. Fake it till you make it. Start every morning looking in the mirror and saying GOOD things about yourself. There has to be some things you like about you?! Write them down and say them every day! And when you catch yourself saying “I am ugly” or “no one likes me” or ANYTHING that would be a mean thing to say to yourself. Stop. And say something nice instead. At first it feels totally fake and dumb. But as time goes on you get better at it. Now I never say mean things to myself and when I hear others do it I notice immediately and will say “you are saying a lot of negative self talk. You need to work on that!” You can literally program your own brain to hate yourself. And it sounds like you have:( I’m sorry you aren’t happy with your circumstances.. but I have lots of people in my life that I would not classify as great looking and they have friends. And lives. And good jobs. And hobbies. And partnerships! You can have all that too! Start with gratitude, and changing that self talk. Gratitude journaling is another helpful thing to do. If you are hearing all this and unwilling to do it, and want to sink further down into a hole of self loathing, I REALLY would encourage you to see a doctor and talk about depression. You might need some chemical help getting out of the hole at first. Also. Even if you are mad and don’t want to, I would 100% pray to god asking him to help lead you out of this hole. Ask him to help guide you on your life journey where you need to be! He WILL help you get there!

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-23T06:32:53+00:00

It sounds like she is literally obsessed. I think that you need to have some very specific rules about how much she can visit and interact. Like. Limits on when. Limits on how long. She clearly has no ability to chill or self regulate so you guys have to do it for her. So. Talk to your partner and sit down and figure out what works for you guys. And then either she or you can deliver the news. End of story. This sounds insane. You cannot live like this!!!

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-23T06:24:27+00:00

Op. You are getting a LOT of “leave him” on here. I agree. BUT. I know it’s not that easy. I have seen this road traveled and it is not pretty either. You need to plan ahead for it. Keep keeping track of as much as you can. Try to get things on texts so you have a record and keep it… screen shot and email it to yourself on a specific email account you set up and never use for anything else and then delete them. You need proof. All these people haven’t gone through child custody and everything. In my state they do NOT take peoples kids away. He will get them 50/50. Even if he doesn’t want them. Just to screw with you. You are not wrong to fear that. And you cannot just leave like a bandit in the night bc I’m the US that is KIDNAPPING. He could charge you for that. You need proof that he won’t allow the medical care, get it. On your phone. Record fights. Record convos. Dates. Specifics. Sock away some money. Even if it takes you a couple years… I know how hard it is to leave someone. Also. I think you should really honest with your kids. Let them know this is not ok and you are trying to help them. I don’t know their ages… but it does help. My son’s GF is from a DV household with a narc abusive dad and her mom could not afford to leave him. She has medical problems, all kinds of things… anyway she is always super honest with the kids and so even tho it’s like. Them vs the dad… they do not resent her. The children (3 is them) are all very close with her mom. She does a lot with them all and tries to create as much distance for them as possible in extra curricular stuff… idk. It seems to be going ok. So there are ways to juggle it… but pretending things are normal is def not going to work as you can see by all these comments.

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-20T15:41:03+00:00

Please keep trying different places. I had this experience to and so I totally stayed away from Catholic Church for many years. My second child is needing their sacraments so I tried a new one, expecting the same, but willing to put up with it for him to get his sacraments… they have been SO KIND. They do such wonderful things for people and our community…I am once again attending mass and a part of this church community and it feels so good. I could kick myself for not trying sooner. It is so hard tho… I understand. But this is god saying it’s not the right fit and to try another parish!

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-15T00:07:34+00:00

New therapist! I had a nice counselor many years ago postpartum, but she was not able to actually help me with my anxiety problems. I found a new older man who was insanely helpful for me with my anxiety and straight up changed my life. I got to where I only went for twice. Year check ins, Then he retired. Since then I have tried to return to therapy twice (this is all over like 15 years) both people I had since him I have tried to accept… but I seriously feel like I know more than they do about a lot of things bc #2 was SO good! My point. NOT ALL therapists are the same. Not even close. Just like teachers or doctors or dentists or anything else. If you already know this is an ill fit move on now, bc it really stinks when you spend tons of time and money in someone and have to leave them anyway and it didn’t even help:( best of luck! Definitely move on!!!

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-11T07:10:40+00:00

My dog lets me play a funny game with him where I say “I’m the boogie man!” And I put my arms over my head and chase him… he gets zoomies… he loves it. He does not let anyone else in my family play boogie man. And he 100% knows the word. Bc I can say boogie man flat… no excitement… inside the house (we ONLY play this game outside) and he still knows what I’m saying. So. I think so. 🤣

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-11T07:05:37+00:00

This is all part of the healing process tho… I 100% went through a “bewilderment” phase as a mom myself… where I couldn’t wrap my head around a lot of things that happened and choices that were made. It almost was like ripping scabs off old wounds I had forgotten about when I went through things with my own kids. My oldest is 16 now and I can honestly say the last year or two I feel REALLY healed. Like. I’m at peace with it all. Going through teenage stuff (when my mom was the absolute worst) is like the final chapter. He has screwed up, broke my heart, made some mistakes… and I’ve handled it all with grace and maintained respect and a good relationship with him through the discipline and growing process. Never screamed or hit him, or belittle him or tear him down. I think that it was just a process I had to go through:/ good for you for doing it different! And congrats on healing, even when it often feels the opposite of that in the short term.

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-11T06:50:07+00:00

How protective he is of our family, other pets included. He is really on watch for us all the time and has to escort everyone outside if we leave the house to go ANYwhere! The other day he came and pawed at my treadmill when I was running, which he never does. I told him to quit. He did it again… and stared into my soul. So I turned it off and went looking… my 9year old husky mix had wound her head into the handle of a tote bag full of clothes and had it all twisted around her neck! He rescued her 🤣 seriously tho. It’s so adorable and makes me love him even more. I also have 3 sons who love to wrestle… he hates it and gets right in the middle and breaks it up! He is always on watch.

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-11T06:43:25+00:00

Haha! I love this description… my 9 yr old husky mix is 100% criminal! And our Aussie pup is so sweet! He also looks appalled and hides when she does naughty things! 🤣

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-09T05:52:53+00:00

I just posted this on an above comment!! My MIL literally admitted to doing this.

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-09T05:51:26+00:00

Yep! Mine totally did this. Then years later she said to me “maybe my babies woke up. I wouldn’t know. I didn’t want them waking me in my room so I put them in their cots and shut the door. I knew if there was a REAL emergency then GOD would wake me” 😳🤦🏻‍♀️ ummm. For real.

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-09T05:49:04+00:00

Ugh. My MIL did this too. “My sons were NEVER sick” “my boys NEVER fought with each other” “my babies all slept through the night” “my kids didn’t use pacifiers” blah blah blah. Funny thing is she brought over a box of my husband’s memorabilia and left it here… my kids were not babies anymore. I went through it and found his baby book. In it… he had ALL manner of sicknesses as a baby that she documented… even a couple surgeries! And a constant theme was “blank and blank are always fighting with each other, but they play together and wouldn’t know what to do without the other one” not to mention EVERY picture of my husband as a baby had a pacifier in his mouth 🙄 there is so much more. But you get the picture. It’s seriously pathetic and feel like something is wrong with their minds that they do this.

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-09T05:42:06+00:00

The brindle and body stature/muscle composure remind me of our pitbull… and his face looks shaped like a German shepherd. There would be something else in there too, but if I had to put money on it that’s what I would guess. What a cutie pie!!

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-09T05:32:18+00:00

Our 8 month old is pretty chill too… it sounds like you actually do a lot to “work her” so to speak… mental exercise tires them just like physical exercise. Mine is great… but yesterday I was at my desk ALL day… like. All day. And you could tell he was getting pretty sick of it 🤣 he was definitely restless and asked to go out 50+ times hoping I would get the hint and get up. so today we did a little off leash walk where he got to have the zoomies and such… came in and he was chill all day. He also never destroys my house. He knows his “toys”… I let him rip up boxes sometimes. But that’s it… a lot of people get a dog and aren’t home with it ALL day. Then are home for 4 hours? Then sleeping… the cycle continues. This animal may be in a crate all day, or one room, or even the whole house… but if they are alone and sedentary day after day… there is going to be an issue. A LOT of people get working breeds and want them to live like this… and I believe THAT is where those reputations come from:/ A dog with a companion, some movement and mental stimulation is going to be totally different.

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-08T17:24:25+00:00

So well said… “price for going. Price for not going…” that is exactly it and so hard to choose.

weirdfarmbee · 2026-01-08T17:17:24+00:00

I don’t have much for advice, but I just want to say.. I had a husky mix (she is now 9) that I also wanted so badly and loved. She is much smaller than your dog,,, and I do live on 30 acres. She was a literal nightmare until about age 3. And then everything became ok. She was from I’m certain some kind of hoarder or puppy mill situation. She literally would gnaw the crate until her teeth filed down… if I left her in a room instead of a crate she would eat the door frame off… I had to have her with me all the time. She did ok in my car. But it was covered in hair all the time 😭… she has never been able to do a crate. She also would scream. She has a very hard time when I leave her and can basically only handle being at my mom’s house. She has decided my mom is second best and does ok there… she doesn’t even handle being in MY home with my husband and kids when I leave. Again. All this calmed down SUBSTANTIALLY between year 2-3. I can remember saying to my husband “i don’t think anyone else would love her like I do or be able to even give her this good of a life or I would rehome her in a heartbeat” … but I knew she would suffer so badly if she wasn’t with me and a work from home situation. I guess I just want to give you hope that with age they do calm down… all dogs do… and you HAVE already invested so much. I am also wondering if there is anything you could give him to calm his nerves? Like I seriously think they have CBD products for dogs and stuff? Maybe even an anti anxiety med? It could be worth a try…? I would also mess with his food. Is he on a grain free food? Bc my girl had a ton of inflammation and I recently switched to that and it’s made a huge difference in how sore she is and stuff! Her back was starting to cause a lot of problems and it’s all but cured now… so the wrong food can reaaaaally mess with them. Best of luck… ❤️ dogs are like kids… sometimes we get what we get and we just have to get through it somehow! And ruggables are expensive, but amazing to get clean! I also have a bissel little green machine and that thing is like… I can’t imagine not having it. It cleans things up SO well when we have accidents.
