Hi! I am 3 months pregnant, and starting to think about screen time. Mostly, I am thinking I don’t want our baby/kid to see us on screens all the time, and then when they’re older us tell them to limit screens.
My husband and I read on kindles a lot. Will a child be able to understand a kindle is a book and is different than a screen?
I inherited a very poorly trained and stubborn French bulldog 3 years ago. He was my grandmas dog and broke her arm on a walk, and so now he lives with me. He slept in the bed with her, and my order 2 dogs have the option of sleeping in the bed with us, always have. The difference is though my other 2 dogs will jump off the bed if I nudge them off and will sleep independently. The frenchie? Absolutely not. When we first got him, we tried for days to get him to sleep in a crate. But he nonstop barked. All night. We gave up, and let him sleep in the bed.
Well, now I’m pregnant and he cannot sleep in the bed with us when there’s a baby. He growls and nips if I move him when he sleeps, and I can’t risk that with a baby. We tried the crate again last night to separate him from my dog who had surgery. In a separate room: barked. Shut him in a room by himself: barked. Crate in our room: barked. Nonstop. Eventually my husband gave up and took him to the guest bed and slept there with him.
He’s the most stubborn and terribly trained dog ever. My grandma did a truly terrible job training him. She thinks “aww so cute he’s naughty” and now I have to deal with his behavior. He doesn’t listen. Goes to the bathroom in the house. He’s horrible. But the bed thing needs to be corrected before baby.
I’m thinking when my dog who got surgery heals, I will try again with a separate room with my other dog to keep him company. Any other suggestions and ideas?
Please no comments about how I should have done things, I understand he’s bad. If I had him as a puppy, I personally would have trained him differently.
