If one more person announces their pregnancy on facebook, I'm going to lose my shit.
Cliche Monday bitchfest post, I know. But there have seriously been like five this week. And i just hit the one year anniversary of when I conceived my loss baby, so I'm especially sensitive.
Yes! We have a dog park in our community that is shared space with the rest of the marina park. The community designated it the dog park but never actually fenced in the part that is for dogs and the part that's not. So in the summer, we get a lot of people who come down with their kids but not their dogs, and a lot (A LOT) of people with their dogs. People get seriously uppity about it. Their kid comes shrieking toward my dog (who politely lies down and wiggles their butt happily) and they're like "Oh, so cuuuuute", but the dog runs past the kid to chase the ball someone threw and the person loses their shit.
I couldn't go to a dog park like that! I'm not even ok with kids in the fenced in dog parks where we lived in Seattle. I would make sure they were dog parks that didn't allow kids under 6 years old specifically because younger kids don't know better. Their dog is friendly with them therefore all dogs must be friendly. My girl wasn't properly socialized as a puppy and though she'll usually run away and bark in a dog park, I've seen kids try to chase her. I've been hollered at by other dog owners who have used the dog park as a two for one. (I made sure we only went to dog parks that have a no young children restriction) I think people are ridiculous sometimes!
Thankfully it's only an issue a few weeks a year, and most people are pretty good about it. But it does frustrate me. I know part of the reason is that the park is on the lake and trying to fence it in so that dogs wouldn't just go in the water and around the fence is more expensive. But really, the issue has become a bigger one since we started seeing more and more people who don't live in the community start using the park in the summer.
Ray, I'm so sorry your mind is fucking with you like that! How awful. I hope this night is more restful. joy, WTAF is wrong with that office? I would be absolutely LIVID! I'm so sorry that happened. UGHHH. PS I love sweet potato chips. @emilie818, HUGS for CD1, honey. I also seem to always get my period on a Monday. And last Monday I happened to have a CP. Splendid. paloslee, so frustrating about the interview. Hope you get another opportunity soon! pismoduo, I know how hard it can be trying to be be supportive and offer advice to someone who doesn't seem to know what they want to hear, and/or is sending you all these mixed signals. At least, that's how MH is. Sometimes all I can do is say, "Honey I'm here for you if you want to talk." or "Is there anything I can do to help?" but the answer is always a huffy or exasperated "NO". So I don't know what else to do and feel guilty that he doesn't tell me what I CAN do. So I usually just let things work themselves out and occupy myself with DD and my own shit, and give him extra affection if he is receptive to it. luckypanda, I'm sorry you are struggling. Try to take it easy and don't beat yourself up. Things will get better and this is just one day. Tomorrow is a new day! HUGS.
The only upside to SIL's dog nipping at S, is that he's now way more cautious with unfamiliar dogs. He still loves animals and always asks if he can pet them, but he doesn't just run up (as often) anymore. Especially bigger dogs. He mostly thinks little dogs are cats. My bitch was going to DH, but then he came home, let me have a nap, cleaned the kitchen and living room, AND ordered Chinese food for supper. So I feel bad bitching about him after he was nice, but I'm still annoyed about what went down yesterday.
Oh good, it's still Monday. CD 1, Cycle 9. I feel like balls. Upside of the day was seeing my 3 year old nephew, then finding out my best friend is in labor.
