My kid is on a weekend poop strike going on like…6 weeks now. It’s probably a comfort or routine thing with daycare, but I’m not thrilled about a two year old having psychological hangups about going to the bathroom. I can’t remember the last time I changed a poopy diaper.

Our dog bit our son while my mom was babysitting while I was at my friend’s funeral. I had to leave the funeral and go home and take son to the emergency room. 4 hours later he gets staples in his head. This loving sucks. The little dude will be ok, but I obviously need to rehome the dog asap. gently caress I’m just so sad.

Be sure whoever takes in your dog checks their insurance policy, some exclude any dog with a bite history from liability coverage. It is a really lovely situation but re-homimg is absolutely the right call.

Thanks, all. The dog was from a rescue and we’ve had him for about 8 months. They will assist with the rehoming, so we know he’ll find a better place.

Yeah that’s the other thing I was gonna ask. If it had been my dog of 10+ years or something I’d look into whether a dog training class or something could be done otherwise. For a new dog that bit hard enough to need staples…yeah no.

Maybe I’m admitting that my family is white trash and abusive to animals but my parents/grandparents would choose between rehoming the dog and shooting the dog. Keeping it simply wouldn’t be considered. I suspect there would be a shallow grave somewhere on a rural property and that I would always be told “they went to a nice farm upstate.”

We had to rehome one of our cats when my son was little. He'd scratched my son once, but my back was turned so I let it go - maybe the cat had been startled or the baby had tried to grab him or etc. The next time I watched the cat scratch him. It was completely unprovoked, baby has been sitting quietly but hadn't made any noise or sudden movement, and in fact hadn't even seen the cat. Cat calmly walked up and swiped him hard, directly beside the eye. A centimeter over & it would have been an ER visit. I've had cats all my life, I know their body language, & I'd never had one act like that out of the blue. My son was old enough to sit up on his own so it wasn't like they'd just met each other. You're a good parent who's doing the right thing. I'm sorry. We'd had that cat for nine years. Our other cat is seventeen this year & has never had an issue.

Sometimes it just becomes difficult to relate now that my life revolves around my kids so much. I've had friendships end because someone resented that they weren't the same priority to me as they were before I had kids. No one tells you how lonely parenting can be sometimes.

Clutching my dog close tonight. Rubbing her belly telling her how good of a girl she is for not eating my baby. Dear reminder that it could happen, and to not let my m-i-l lead any dog-toddler interactions.

Update: I got in contact with the rescue, which is from another state. They drive up here once a month to drop dogs off and, in unfortunate circumstances like this, pick dogs up. Their monthly trip happened to be today. They have a plan to get him proper training and find him a good home. Everything happened so fast, it’s been such a whirlwind of emotions. Going to give our remaining dog a million snuggles.

killer crane posted:No one tells you how lonely parenting can be sometimes. I was extremely unprepared for it. But when covid lockdown came a year after our kid was born, I was prepared for that because we'd already been in isolation with no friends. I even had more social interaction in a way, since suddenly everyone was okay with doing digital hangouts.

Even if you keep your close friends, getting to actually hang out with them becomes so much more difficult. And even if you have parent friends that you can do play dates with, many times your schedules don’t align or the kids get sick. It’s so isolating, and it’s a strange feeling to love your kids so much but also grieve the loss of your old life and relationships. Anyway… my daughter has recently started putting her hand on her hips and saying “We have a slight situation here!” Usually when her brother is playing with one of her toys.

There's a parallel convo going on about rehoming kid aggressive dogs in the r/relationships thread and yeah no you are 100% doing the right thing by your kiddo. I'm sorry you have to deal with it though. All these crazy rear end 4 am wake ups and everything are so worth it when you come downstairs to hearing your toddler shouting "Happy!!" while climbing all over Dada. Something else that feels like a small cuteness win this week... We have an inherited pair of light purple Crocs from her cousin that are her size now that she always wants to wear because she calls them her purples

We're currently having to rehome a cat not because she's violent but because she's not adjusting well to living with a four year old. We adopted her hoping she'd be a better companion to our elderly cat who recently lost his roommate but turns out they don't get along. So the new cat just makes her displeasure known by conspicuously making GBS threads all over the house. We had a nice couple lined up to take her yesterday but they backed out and I'm so disappointed. I just want to stop waking up to cat poop every morning.

I love winter in general but I'm ready for warm weather for my kid already! There's just only so much I can do inside with a toddler, and a lot of the places I'd take her to, like the library, are closed on federal holidays. I wish there was like an open gym for toddlers somewhere!

BaseballPCHiker posted:I love winter in general but I'm ready for warm weather for my kid already! Are there any indoor play spaces in your area? There's a ton around us for varying ages. Like I wouldn't take a toddler to an indoor trampoline park, but there's a bunch of places that just have themed play structures or are indoor bounce houses. They're mostly used for hosting birthday parties and whatnot, but they usually have open play times, especially on weekdays. Usually around $10 or so for like an hour or a day depending on the place. Kids museums around us are usually open days like this as well. DaveSauce fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Feb 20, 2023 |

Son tripped and scraped both of his knees on the sidewalk just outside of his daycare. I was so sure he would start bawling because they were pretty bad scrapes. But he didn’t cry. He got up, turned around, and said “I try again”. And when he didn’t trip the second time he was so happy.

Started potty training yesterday. 0 uses of the potty, and she only peed like 3 times while she was awake yesterday and no pooping. Also she would cry whenever we would try to put her on the potty, so that was great. Wife is home alone working on it again with her today and tomorrow and then she's supposed to go back to daycare on Wednesday sans diapers. Should be a fun week!

Daycare update: three weeks into our son's new at-home place and the change in his behavior has been spectacular. No more crying during drop off/pick up, he's trying new food, is generally calmer, and falls asleep at bedtime. He's even willing to put his woobie away during the day or leave it in our car. It's remarkable to see the positive influence that a much smaller class size and an understanding re potty training can make. External Organs posted:Kid sick again so what The circle of parenthood. Shifty Pony posted:Mrs Pony and I have off today but daycare is open. The ogre toddler's new at-home daycare's open today as well which is a nice change from his old Montessori which followed the PfISD schedule. Not that it matters anyway since my wife has filled the day with stuff for our daughter to do - horsehumper was shocked, shocked I say, that we were following the loving decree and picking her up from his place as opposed to his assumption that we'd "give him the extra day" like he "gave us MLK day" (read: couldn't be arsed). So it's another holiday spent being run ragged. Not like i can bill my client today due to them being federal but it'd be nice to get caught up on my compliance training...

I'm taking a half day, and my wife took the full day off since she actually gets some caregiver leave through her job. This weekend we switched the youngest to undies. Been taking him potty for a while, but never really fully committed. Naturally, while he has been staying dry due to frequent trips, he has decided that he will no longer tell us after he has pooped. RIP 2 pairs of undies (so far). DaveSauce fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Feb 20, 2023 |

The little dude's just so much happier and is still getting to learn-by-playing. Still need to work on potty training but at least now he's not being treated as a problem child.
