I’m ashamed to say that I’m experiencing this, but ever since I had my baby - I can’t stand to have dogs in mine or my child’s vicinity.

My sister is the kind of person that calls herself a pet parent and dislikes kids, so we’re at an impasse. She wants to bring her big pit bulls over, and I’m not comfortable with it. Their smell makes me nauseous, the hair everywhere drives me crazy, and I can’t help but think about how they frolic in the backyard, stepping in their poop and pee before coming into the house and dragging it every where my child crawls.

I used to be fine with the one coming over, but she got a second one when I told her I was pregnant, and I just can’t two dogs running around the house.

This is obviously not just with her dogs, I lose my mind when I see an unleashed dog running towards me (Yes, I see unleashed dogs way too often).

I used to love dogs, I had one myself before he passed away. Does this resentment go away??

My baby is 10 months old and I’ve been using a wipe for every diaper change. I assume he doesn’t like the leftover pee feeling on his skin.. my husband’s mother watches him a few times a week, and I noticed she wasn’t using a wipe when she changed his diaper after he peed. Do people do this? After my husband saw this, he’s been doing the same thing.

Edit: Thanks so much for your responses!! I guess this will save me money since I won’t be using wipes every time now haha

I just read someone ask if it was okay that they locked their child away in a play pen for most of the day, because their dog is too hyper and scratches everyone unintentionally. Of course, everybody said it was okay. I pointed out that they should be locking their dog away rather than the baby if they couldn’t train the dog. Dog nutters went wild as they always do. What is wrong with this new society?!

I feel like I hear this way too often. A woman complains about her small boobs, and a big breasted woman always intervenes and talks about the struggles of having big boobs. There are pros and cons to both, can we just let the itty bitty titty talk about hers without you mentioning the back pain.

I have contamination (postpartum) OCD, and I’m 10 months postpartum. My MIL has been traveling and has been to multiple airports. My husband planned a dinner for her tonight. I asked him if we could wait about a week before doing so, because I was afraid she would come back sick. My husband told me (nicely) to basically get over it.

I prepared myself. I kept telling myself everything would be okay.

Guess who showed up sick? She did. She was drinking a cocktail and gave it to her husband and said “Here. Try some before I take a sip out of it.” She then proceeded to tell me she went to urgent care because she was feeling sick, but it was “allergies.”

She was hacking up a lung the whole time, she was stuffy - has never complained about allergies in the past, she had just come back from a major airport 4 days prior. Then, I went to the bathroom and my husband handed our baby to her. I heard her kissing my baby all over.

I am now spiraling and I can’t even begin to express what I’m feeling right now. I am beyond upset. My husband says I’m overreacting and that “it’s fine because it’s just allergies.”

I posted on a sub about how I hated cruises (not willing to get into that topic), and got lit on fire. I expected it. Whatever. But then one person commented and said “I went on a cruise and it was amazing. Sorry that you’re jealous and broke.”

I commented back and said “I’m not jealous of your broke man’s vacation.” Of course, the comments of “How dare you comment on someone’s financial status?” And “Who are you to judge people for what they enjoy?” began.

Idk. You called me broke first. I just said I didn’t like cruises.

I feel like I’ve seen them all. I need some suggestions. I’m in rut and want to see more 80s movies!! Just drop your list in the comments plsss :)

Edit: Thanks for your recommendations so far!! I apologize for not being clear on genre. I’d like something similar to some of the John Hughes classics, anything similar to the movie Tuff Turf, and some horror - anything like Sleepaway Camp. Just mentioned some of my favs. I’m open to anything, though!

Sorry, but people go on cruises to engorge themselves on food and drinks. Then they all come back sick because they’ve been in recycled air for 2 weeks, and infect everyone else with it. Airplanes, fine. We all need to get somewhere. Cruises have shown time and time again that there’s no reason for this. Now we’re spending our tax dollars on these jackasses that decided to take a luxury cruise to sit on their asses for 45 days and get three meals a day. Not to mention the effort it took to get them on a plane.

I have two jobs. I work Mondays only at one job, and Tuesday through Friday at another.

Let me preface this by saying, my coworkers are ALWAYS sick. We work in a small space and there’s about 10 of us. One of them is sick almost every week.

It always begins on a Monday. A coworker always has to leave midday because they’ve started to feel sick, and I’m getting kind of tired of it. Thinking about quitting because I’m tired of it. They’ve gotten me sick probably twice in the two years I’ve been working there, I’ve honestly started just working at a separate office to stay away because I’m sure as all of you know, I HATE being sick.

It’s more of a general question instead of a scientific based one because I know about incubation periods and all, but do you guys usually start to feel a cold coming on in the beginning of the week? Sunday or Monday?

Was this a thing when we were babies? Were people just putting their lips all over us, and our parents were just accepting it? I’m genuinely just curious.

I can’t even believe I have to tell so many people to keep their lips to themselves. You don’t kiss me when you greet me (unless it’s one of those cheek to cheek “kisses”), why would it be okay to do it to an infant?

I do not hate children. I don’t think it’s appropriate to have them running around the breweries. I’m not sure when breweries, a spot where people are meant to drink became “family friendly.”

I watched a kid go under the rope to where the brewery equipment was, and a father yelling at the bartender saying that it should be safer because there are kids here!!

Sorry, but you shouldn’t have to childproof a brewery, and if you would like to bring them to a brewery, maybe you should just watch them.

And yes, I have children of my own.

I’m answering questions to get ready for my baby’s 9 month wellness check tomorrow. There were a few questions regarding stranger anxiety I guess? Like “Does your child have a hard time adjusting to new places?” And “Does your child mind being held by other people?” And “Does your child mind being around new people?” I answered no to all of them. I primarily take care of my baby and rarely bring him around new people, but when I do, he’s completely chill.

Is stranger anxiety normal for this age? I just felt like the “right” answers were supposed to be yes..

Does anybody send private chats? I’ve received some with very clear questions, but sometimes I receive a “Hey.” What is the intention? 😭

I do enjoy this show a fair amount. I just find that the women’s voices are AWFUL. Jules, Maddy, Cassie, Faye, and Laurie especially. Are they trying to do some sort of accent, or do they just speak that way?

I have a pretty chill baby, which is why I find this strange. He’s just been so whiny lately. Not crying, just whining. He’s not teething, he just seems so frustrated lately. Anybody experience this?
