We occasionally have dogs at the office from the various people who either need to bring them in because of vet appointments/apartment fumigation or just requests to have a pet over. People are excited to take the dogs out because it means playing with them. I can't fathom someone claiming to love their dog but being too lazy to take them outside every day.

LLJSILK's other kids were also suffering from this one's involvement in their life as if you read the thread they were getting dragged into the poo poo with him. Kid obviously needed someone more involved in his life to make something of it and grandma is capable of being that person, honestly prolly a good call on LLJSILK's part because the move helps all 3 kids.

Kid is gonna 100% take the exact wrong message away from it (either that he shoulda been more of a doormat or that he should have taken initiative and been the shittier partner) but there's prolly almost nothing older brother can do about it other than hope the next gf is better and his brother will learn from experience that normal good relationships are totally possible. Odds are he's just gonna string together people exactly like his ex, we all know those people and it the trend starts basically then.

Also wtf is it with people and schnauzers? I swear to god every one of them I have met has been an socialized, anxious, shithead mess of a dog, why do so many people gently caress up raising them, in particular? I knew a family that had both a miniature and a giant schnauzer and they were both completely untrained garbage piles of canines. Btw giant schnauzers are at least 70lbs and that one liked to bite.

Hi here’s a divorce case waiting to happenquote:Q. My husband’s fantasy life: I discovered this weekend that my husband belongs to a website for people whose spouses or partners cheated on them. He posts there frequently, and he’s talked about our children, our financial struggles, and my infidelity with my boss. The thing is: I’ve never cheated on my husband. It’d be one thing if he’d created a fictional persona for this website. It’d still be misleading and a cause for concern, but the things he writes about our marriage are lies. A few times he takes an argument we had in real life and filters it through the prism of a man whose wife cheated on him.

My wife agrees to care for our niece but in-laws put stipulations around it and it's driving me nuts. Me: 44M Wife: 46F My wife agrees to watch our 4yo niece, who is close to our daughter's age, quite often. 1-2 overnight stays every month due to the fact her brother and his wife have jobs that require frequent travel. That's not a crime but it is the following details that get under my skin: They always offer to repay the gesture in kind by watching our daughter but that never comes to fruition. Wife's brother does not trust her to drive on the highway, requires her to drive on side-roads to pick-up/drop-off niece at school which is 45-60min one way from our home. Beyond the overnight stays there are additional requests to watch my niece at her house. Once every other weekend? My wife says she wants to help out, and I love her for being a kind person, but I can see she's visibly tired after the visit. She tries to shield me from it but of course I cannot go disappear into my man cave; she needs help with cooking/playing with kids/cleaning up/etc. I feel like my wife is being taken advantage of and she's agreeing to do it to take the babysitting burden off of her mom, which is admirable, but they in turn like to privately grumble about it the stipulations surrounding how they care for my niece. When I complain to my wife about it she gets livid and accuses me of being mean and uncaring. It is an extremely hostile reaction (this is the only issue in our marriage). So I know I cannot DO anything about this, but it would help me to understand what your perception is: am I just being an a-hole? Or am I okay to feel put-out by this situation? TL;DR - Brother in law frequently asks wife to watch our niece, does not trust my wife to drive niece on highways, I am offended he doesn't trust my wife and the fact they never watch our daughter to reciprocate.

Yeah, most stores will take stuff back without a receipt even if it's against their policy if you make enough of a scene. It seems like the best option is to just take the kids out somewhere as a gift. Also, post on the facebook group about what they're doing. Not that it will actually make any difference in regards to selling this stuff, but it'll at least piss off the parents and might make them feel the slightest bit of shame. It sounds like no one is actually willing to do anything though because the parents will just not let them see the kids, and apparently the rest of the family is willing to put up with all their bullshit in exchange for that.

Just as someone who works in finance I find bitcoin hilarious because it is so easy to manipulate the market. When you sell a stock you have to sell the whole stock (although it is possible to sell fractional shares as part of a transaction). Bitcoin exchanges basically allow you to sell 0.0000001 of a bitcoin between your own accounts at insanely inflated prices and then report it as the last transaction and therefore the current price. It is designed to be a giant scam.

My (f29) boyfriend (m30) thinks staying at his moms for days after a heated argument is normal and common practice. We have had a very turbulent past over the last 5 years and almost any heated argument we have he runs to his mom's house and ends up sleeping on her couch. I have a daughter (6) who has only known him as a father. Her bio dad is not in the picture at all. He generally thinks it's normal to leave us by ourselves at home for a night. sometimes up to a week but usually anywhere from a day to three days. I get upset because his mom's house is generally their family hub and family usually passes through back and forth pretty consistently. Every time they see him there they know we're fighting. It's a total choice on his part to stay there and it's very rare where I don't allow him to come home. Usually the reason I don't allow him back is because he leaves to begin with. I feel like it causes instability because my daughter, although not present for the fights, knows he's not home because "my dad is upset." I feel like it just invites family gossip, which is common in his family (we're Mexican) into the inner workings of our lives together. His Mom is also a traditional Mexican Mom and cooks/cleans and generally takes care of him while he's there. Both his siblings also live there (m22) (f26/ds4) I tried to explain that normal adults in a family setting do not do this and it's not normal for him to just run to his mom's house. I could understand if he needed to cool down and came back and we resolved things. It's just become burdensome because now I feel like his family thinks of me a certain way and since they are so close I don't always feel comfortable being there. To be clear he has a short temper and this is almost over any conflict at this point. Am I overreacting? Is this more common than I'm aware of? Both my grandparents, while alive lived in the same city and I don't ever remember my parents leaving to stay with them during conflict. Is this healthy? TL;DR Boyfriend runs to his mom's house every time we fight and thinks it's common or normal even "healthy." Trying to reason otherwise. Am I overreacting?

(AZ) Our neighbors dog was poisoned. Police want to look through our "internet history" (a very nebulous term). Wife says we should let them because we have nothing to hide. I say absolutely not. How should we proceed? I guess some background is in order here. Earlier this year a new set of neighbors moved in and they brought with them 3 very loud dogs who they let bark and bay 24 hours a day. We were the first people to go talk with them and they got better for maybe 20 minutes and they just let the dogs back outside to continue on. Our city has a policy where noise complaints can be made to animal control so we did that which did nothing. The next step was to go to a city sponsored mediation at which point the dog's owners agreed to keep them inside. They did this for maybe 3 days and then we were back to square one. The next step is to take them before a judge who gave them a pretty hefty fine with the admonition to take care of the problem. This all took about 10 months with literally only a days total of these dogs not barking. So they were quiet for about a month after the court date but slowly and surely they started barking again at all hours. We tried to go over and speak to them but this time they very clearly insinuated that barking dogs were their "right" and we needed to get the gently caress off their property. So we decided the only way was to start the process over with animal control as well as contacting our own lawyer to see about taking them to civil court. We have yet to contact the lawyer. We had made the initial report to animal control last Thursday when we got a knock on our door and it was a uniformed police officer who said something like "do you have any antifreeze?" I was really taken aback and I think I asked "I think so, do you need some?" He then spoke something into the walkie talkie on his epulat and asked if he could come. I literally had no idea what was going on and then he explained that one of the neighbors dogs had been poisoned and asked if we knew them. I explained that I actually didn't know who he was talking about (the other two dogs hadn't stopped barking after the other dog died, and I really have no way of knowing which dog is which). He said it was this family and said that they had told him we had a history of "being cruel to his dogs." I got out the whole file folder including my logs talking to the neighbors, the calls to animal control, my copy of the letters, mediation agreement and judges order as well as written down links to the youtube channel we created in order to document the barking via audio. The officer then asked if he could take everything. I said I wasn't comfortable with that but I would be happy to make a copies today at work and drop them off at the local substation. I did exactly this. I was met by a uniformed supervisor who said that he would like to send a "specialist" over to our house and look through our "internet history" to see what we've been looking up. Again I was taken completely aback and said that I'm not sure what he'd be looking for. He told me that was up to them to decide what they'd be looking for. It took me as second but I asked him to better define "specialist" and "internet history" and he said that at this time he couldn't do that for me. I asked him if somehow we were suspects and he said (if I remember) "not yet." I asked him if I could leave, he said yes and again asked if his "specialist" could come over tonight. I said I would really rather not but I would get back in touch with him. He gave me his card and we said goodbye. I just got home and told my wife. My wife insists that we invite him over right now to have them look through our computer. We have nothing on there that would tie us to any sort of dog death but I feel it's insane to just the police look through the nebulous "internet history" without them being very specific as to who is doing and what they are looking for. She thinks that by not letting them we are making ourselves look very guilty. I say we are not guilty because we aren't freaking guilty and it's there job to find out who really did it. it sucks those people's dog died but we have followed the letter of the law and been exceedingly patient even though our once quiet house has been miserable for almost a year. I'm actually really annoyed that our willingness to play by the rules seemed to highlight us. Thank you very much for any advice. tl;dr: neighbors dog was apparently poisoned. Police want to look through our "internet history" with no real defined purpose or reason. Wife thinks we should let them, I say absolutely not.

Otherwise, the sex is great and im attracted to her(body, mind and soul) I havent bought it up (our relationship is stable and healthy and communicative elsewise) because it seems like the sort of thing she (or anyone) cant really control.
