The Mother Goose prints are live in the shop! I also upgraded all other giclée prints that are not Mother Goose or Christmas prints to 30% off, no code needed 🫶🏻 The original painting will not be available at this time because I painted it specifically for my daughter’s nursery. She could be here any day now! 🥹

@Dan_SonOfCarl Thumbs down

@oliveegger If the graphic was accurate then yeah

I don’t know anything but was that really offsides

@panettonepapi It was a halftime show for children lol

this halftime show is up there with dogshit halftime shows lmao

@Strangeland_Elf 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@oliveegger There were a bunch of singing kids and Coldplay was just behind them and you could barely see them on camera 😂

I don’t think people even noticed Coldplay was part of that halftime show because they were just like… hiding.

@GreatJakeHOLIO @webdevMason Good plan!

@oliveegger @webdevMason I teach my kids to treat every dog with the same respect you would a loaded gun, just different set of rules

This is increasingly the mindset of the people supplying pets to families

@beefington420 Like what is the point

@oliveegger They’re always on wheels like they don’t need to be taken apart to fit through a door frame

“Portable crib” but you can’t even move it from room to room 😒😒😒😒

@webdevMason Or I guess I should say I didn’t know we were arguing

@webdevMason I guess I just didn’t understand what the argument was lol. Every dog is capable of it especially around kids with no sense of boundaries. Dogs and young children should never be alone together, something could always happen.

@MartinIturriBi @webdevMason Always 😭

@oliveegger @webdevMason That’s smart. It takes time to learn how to interact with dogs. And you know how these boys (and girls) can be! All up in their face and whatnot

@webdevMason Well yeah but that involves intervention on the parents part as well and that doesn’t always happen. Which leads to dogs biting because their original signals of overwhelm have gone ignored

@oliveegger Most families do not need a dog that must never react remotely defensively even when being physically attacked, they just need a dog that is very tolerant of normal child behavior and seeks to remove itself rather than attack when overwhelmed

@webdevMason Oh well I was unsure we were even discussing dogs biting kids who weren’t bothering them at all

@oliveegger Sure; what I'm indicating is that there's a range here, from "bombproof dog who can work with a sometimes-aggressive nonverbal autistic child" to "dog who mauls a toddler when the toddler tries to play quietly with his own toys across the room"

Yeah my son isn’t allowed around any of my dogs because he is still learning to respect boundaries. You don’t know what dog will bite until it’s a dog that bites! My Mini poodle bit me a few times in old age just because he was stiff and hurting and couldn’t handle being groomed anymore 😞

Of course we need to teach children how to respect animals, and especially dogs because they can be temperamental and sometimes dangerous. But also some breeds are more dangerous around kids than others and I think both parents and dog owners need to be honest about this. In some cases, it’s better to just keep the dog and the kid separated.

Well the parameters a dog has to meet in order to become a therapy dog are pretty strict! Therapy dogs aren’t average family dogs. In fact they are probably under threshold a lot of the time when they aren’t working as opposed to a family home with constant commotion and noise and stimulus

I mean, if that were true we could not have therapy dogs working with disregulated kids in liability-sensitive environments, but a lot of dogs will very predictably tolerate a wide range of unpleasant behaviors Insofar as there's a minute "struck by lightning" risk that again is IMO a red herring in this conversation, like bringing up driving your kid to gymnastics in the context of someone taking them off-roading while drunk because "car accidents can happen to anyone"

@webdevMason You just won’t know what dog will until it gets to that point is what I’m saying

@oliveegger When it comes to stuff like what's described above -- clinging, hugging, getting in the dog's face -- these are things that children must be taught not do because dogs do not enjoy them, but it is simply not true that every dog would eventually hurt a child who behaved this way

Right but a lot of parents are ignorant and think it’s cute. And in that case it doesn’t matter the dog, it’s gonna side eye kids instead of just exist at home calmly wether or not it ever escalates to a bite. This can happen with a lot of family dogs and it’s worse when they’re old

Eh, this is the kind of distinction I hate wading into because yes, if you did something like let an extremely violent child have unlimited access to a dog that had no means of escaping the situation, eventually most of them would bite But that's not the situation in basically any decent family home and responsible parents are supervising or limiting contact first and foremost because it is the humane and moral thing to do, not because they think their dog is going to snap

The tough part is, while maybe some breeds are more prone to using a bite for correction, it can happen with any dog if the child is allowed to behave like a child around it too often. My son is insanely impulsive so he’s not allowed around our dogs period lol. Not worth the risk or anxiety

@oliveegger Yeah, I'm honestly not sure why "we need to teach kids to have positive interactions with animals" and "any dog that would attack a child for behaving like a child is unsafe in a family home" are treated like mutually exclusive concepts

@dvb_eck I get so mad when my food is too hot for too long

I used to have a cat that would slap the shit out of food of it was still a little bit too hot and honestly I can relate because that shit is annoying

@ouranometrian2 @meatypepper It’s just ur GeNeTiCs Literally pmo

@meatypepper Me rn busting my ass everyday in 100+ degree heat and at a stupid deficit that makes me cranky and tired. Ive busted my ass through 3 pregnancies and now 3 postpartums

This was something that got to me when I said I lost 20 lbs last summer doing CICO and working out through the day with a toddler, and some woman had the nerve to say it must be nice to have a child that doesn't bother me while i'm working out for 2 hours a day. Nah bitch i'm doing yoga while he's feeding me animal crackers and climbing on my back. I'm doing glute bridges while he sits on my stomach and giggles. I'm stationary biking and breastfeeding. I'm babywearing and hiking, biking, taking the kids on hot girl walks. I'm working out late at night before bed, during nap time, before they wake up in the morning, in small moments of peace through the day bc the toddler is watching a movie and the newborn is taking his morning nap. I had to and continue to bust my ass and no it wasnt and isn't easy. And my genetics are NOT hot skinny and muscular. I come from thick German peasant women. Some women have it easy, some have it harder, and then theres just lots of women don't like to hear about your hard work bc it proves you can do anything you put your mind to and they simply do not want to put their mind to it. Not my problem, don't make it my problem or try to discredit my hard work and we'll be hunky dory.

Never understood the appeal of male strippers. Seeing a man gyrate and shake his body like a woman viscerally repulses me. But we shan’t be surprised these days. Women are divorcing their husbands over a softcore pornographic Netflix show about 2 gay hockey players. The internet has made me resent the average woman sadly.
