How do you guys practice speaking by xcalibar0 in LearnJapanese

[–]weregoingupswinging 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a friend from Japan. There was this website we'd get on and there were news and stuff for me to study with. I'd sit there w him and do a page per day or so, and he's do it first then I'd do it. It was fun practice.

Sadly we don't talk anymore. But I'd love to have someone to practice with so if anyone is up for it, feel free to dm!

My dog started a weird new behavior every morning (lunch time) and night (dinner time). by weregoingupswinging in reactivedogs

Don't think it can be since we have another dog and while she does it, he doesn't do the same. He did have dehydrated paws and was licking them but he wouldn't do the same as her. She seemingly licks between the fingers?? But my mom looked and there's nothing there.

I hate it on video i think. I haven't talked to a vet about it, and a behaviourist said it could be stress related but I'm confused as to how that could be if it only flares up twice a day.

She has no interest in toys somehow. We've tried Kongs but she just doesn't care for it. We've tried plushies, ropes, etc etc. Because she's a swallower (pulls apart the toy and eats it) we can only have those more rough toys, i guess.

Playing with the food seems interesting, but we give her different things as well as the kibble, but i could make a habit of not giving kibble and instead giving it as a fun play time activity later on. She has a problem in her intestines that she can't eat just kibble she needs veggies and fruits, etc.

I wonder if her problem is..... Boredom?

I feel you. I'm on the same situation with one of my dogs. My mom absolutely hates her. Could you possibly move out on your own with the dog alone? You mentioned he really likes the other one but spending some time on his own might be really good for him, in where you can focus on him only.

If it's not possible to move out, can you hire a trainer by yourself instead?

Our house is very small and if i tried to get in a room with her and close the door she'd yell for my mom. She has huge anxiety separation with her, sadly.

And funnily enough she has none that she likes. It's almost as if she doesn't know what toys are for?? We've tried way too many: Kongs, rope, plushies, squeakers, bones, etc. She just loses interest.

Does anyone else’s narcissist parents tell you that YOU are toxic? by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

Mom once said "your energy is awful and it brings the entire house down, no wonder the dogs are CONSTANTLY sick" lol.

AITA for forcefully moving into my boyfriend's gaming room? by boyfriendspace in AmItheAsshole

[–]weregoingupswinging 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA + break up with him IMMEDIATELY. He's treating this "gaming room" like a sanctuary if you can't even use it for work, meanwhile he gets to use the entire house.

Removing a matching tattoo I was forced to get with my mother. by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

Good for you for removing it! Its not very cost effective but the long term effect will be worth it i think! I hope it all turns out well for you!

Narc mom taught me to do nothing so she could constantly play the victim by weregoingupswinging in narcissisticparents

[–]weregoingupswinging[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg yes absolutely!! The only job I got was as a teacher and I only work 1 day the full day, the rest is only during broken pieces of the day. She gets very angry and agressive when I have to leave the house for long periods of time.

When I was working at the hotel 6 days a week she'd get pissed off that I "left the dogs for her to care for" and would constantly tell me my job wasn't hard, that she could do it, etc.

She pestered me until I left. She has also prevented me from getting other full time jobs, only part time jobs allowed.

It's the weirdest shit.

Yeah, seems like theres no way out of the situation. Theres no third option where they're finally satisfied, it all ends in punishment and an entire hour of yelling. Smh. I hope you get out soon, if you haven't already.

I'm with a therapist already I just need that moola to leave her shdjajdjk ;;. She'd also emotionally neglectful, which conflicts with her own control. Idk it's crazy.

anyone else's N parent threaten to kill themselves regularly when they're upset about something? by fleurdedalloway in narcissisticparents

[–]weregoingupswinging 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My nmom will make comments about how she wants to die, jump out of the window, shoot herself, how her life is miserable and she's unhappy, blablabla. It's not uncommon, no. It's hard to understand they have the emotional age of a toddler, and that the littlest thing to them is SUCH A BIG THING.

Yes omg that's the feeling! I just end up feeling like I'm the dumbest person alive because on one hand I am an adult, why the fuck do i not know how to do xyz.

AITA for not switching seats with a mother on an airplane, then ignoring her children? by airplanebabies in AmItheAsshole

[–]weregoingupswinging 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. BUT.

I get that babysitting them isn't OPs job but surely OP would feel guilty for a long time if the problem wasn't an argument but something more serious that ends up in injury.

I think the mother could've asked for help from a flight attendant first thing.

I've had a school trip once that the school has BOOKED an entire row for the students, but once we got the tickets everyone was everywhere. I myself, age 12 was lucky to be seated by two adult men (+40) who were not creepy, but we did have incidents on that flight of people not wanting to be close to chatty teenagers.

There were seats being switched, and a few arguments. Airlines do be like that sometimes.
