Do your cats get along with their siblings? Are there any methods you've used to try to get them to warm up to each other, or do you just have to let them figure it out on their own?

Generally actual siblings will get along pretty well, or at least tolerate each other, since they were raised together. What kind of issues are you having?

It has been my experience that my cats from the same litter have always been friendly -- as friendly as cats can be -- to each other. When I was kid I had two black cats -- a battle-scarred tom named Sinbad and his spayed sister Cameo. Sinbad would even let Camy wash his face and ears. He looked a bit put out, but he was a good brother. Adding a new cat to the mix is a different story. There will inevitably be a fight to determine who is the "top cat" in the pride. Don't get me started on if the new cat takes a liking to one of the original cats' favorite person. That can get ugly -- and loud. The cats will eventually settle down and accept their place and role, once they realize the other cats aren't going anywhere and they're stuck with them.

About half of the time they get along and the other half they are fighting OP haha. Tonight they were all cuddled up getting along and they looked so cute and then next thing I know a fight breaks out. Over what? I could not tell you but that was the end of that.

How would you respond to this note sent home on my toddler’s daily report from her in-home daycare provider. Mind you she didn’t say anything to me in person about this.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

I feel that if my firm could charge a flat fee of $10-$15,000, it would still be beneficial from a client predictability and volume standpoint and would generate more referrals.

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help.

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

We recently sleep trained our 7 month son. He went from waking up multiple times during night and taking only 30 minute naps 3 times during day (most cases nursed to sleep or rocked to sleep or took a drive) to sleeping 12 hours at night without interruption and two 2 hour naps and one 45 minutes nap during day. We both love that he is getting enough sleep and well rested on one hand. On the other hand, we are now wondering if he is sleeping way too much.. contd…
