Has any of the awesome dog lovers in this bowl ever yelled at their baby? I mean YELLED/screamed? Last night my little Yorkie got me up 3 times, seemingly because she was bored or couldn’t sleep. I was so frustrated and tired that I verbally lit into her. She’s 4, I’ve had her since 8 weeks, and I have never scolded her, except for training as a puppy. I am so overwhelmed with sadness and guilt today. That look in her eyes, I never want to see it again….😢. Someone tell me I’m not a monster

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

How long did you date your SO before moving in with them?

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

What to do when parents dig their toes into your relationship? They don't approve of who I'm with and very vocal about it.

In 10 years, this may be in the rear view or they may not let up. Anyone with experience in this?

Hey guys, all jokes aside, how does everyone have a life besides work in this industry? Weekdays I work and sleep, and I’ve worked most weekends. I’ve canceled so many plans and haven’t seen friends..

Moved to the DC area about two years ago and have yet to establish myself friendwise. I usually tag along with my partner to all of his events as I’m traveling 5 days a week and have no forum. Any...

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney. I have about 20 files or more in my rotation at a time. I work on various types of cases at once. Some are simple, others are extensive. I feel like it’s very unstructured and one of the managers micromanages. It’s like every man for himself. Take home pay is $50k. I am working on my bachelors deg. Do I get paid enough?

Anyone have any good resources that help you teach study skills to middle schoolers? Teach/model/practice type things. Thanks!

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?

Thoughts on Mindshare Chicago?

Hi Fishes, Almost through with all the formalities. Who thinks Omnicron virus could delay offers at one of the BIG4 management consulting offers in India?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

Hello why do dogs hate getting their nails cut? Am I hurting my dog?

Hi,
Need some advice. My pet had been eating his kebble food on a consistent basis. Then I introduced a bit of raw chicken into his kebble and loved having it even more. But now I'm realizing that if I don't add chicken, he just doesn't eat his regular kebble food. What should I do? (Don't want to feed chicken every day)

Do you always wash your hands after petting your dogs? I got a new puppy and am constantly washing hands and trying to be as sanitary as possible. I'm simply to grossed out if I don't especially since I found out my puppy has worms.

If my agency had a dog daycare and a nap room, I’d probably never go home.

You’re given 5 minutes where your dog can speak/understand English. What would you say to him/her?

Anyone have a recommendation for stinky dog breath? Clean bill of health, “perfect teeth” according to the vet. Pup gets VetriScience powder for dental health and still - it reeks.

I’ve heard of water supplements but not sure if they help. Admittedly, could be better about brushing his teeth.

I love when my dog comes up and cuddles/sleeps on me, but she gives off so much heat! Like a little Chernobyl lying on my chest

Breeder just called and said puppy has a very small hernia that should go away on it's own. Any cause for alarm? Said if it doesn't to away it can be corrected when it gets neutered.
