Certain people I know buying dogs during lockdown and I know damn well that poor dog is gonna get dumped once lockdown is over. Kids back to school, they are back in work. We've wanted one for years, if you've wanted one for years why didn't you get one earlier???? I know why because you didn't have the time to look after one pre lockdown. My love for dogs is strong and I just sense that there will be some poor doggies left with separation anxiety.
It’s just this one family that has wound me up so much as they will be both back in work and kids back in school and they already had a hectic lifestyle. I totally get people getting dogs if they know that they will be working from home permanently. I’m holding back in getting another as my dog passed away a few years ago but both myself and my other half are both back in work and it just wouldn’t be fair. I would get one in a heartbeat if I knew I could work from home forever but that ain’t ever gonna happen.A lot of people I work with bought dogs are they now work from home and believe this to permanent . I thought it was insane as we will have to go back a few days a week not to mention job security.
Separation anxiety will be a big issue I reckon as people are working from home and the puppies (since I assume they're getting young dogs) will be used to that. I feel bad for shelters honestly, I can't imagine it's easy to rehome dogs with separation anxiety or it takes a lot of work to fix it at that point which is probably hard in a shelter.Certain people I know buying dogs during lockdown and I know damn well that poor dog is gonna get dumped once lockdown is over.

ThankyouI got a lot of that when my son was diagnosed two years ago. It got to the point where I just learnt to ignore it. Some people you can educate, especially children, others not so much. I think a lot of people just don’t know what to say or are actually quite ignorant to conditions like autism (especially older people, I find). Currently waiting for the official diagnosis for my younger son now and it feels like deja vu. He has to have a blood test done to check for other developmental disorders.
I hope you’re doing ok yourself. It can be a gut punch hearing from a professional that your suspicions are correct. I cried for about a week when my son was officially diagnosed, despite fully expecting it and also feeling relieved that we were being taken seriously after being told I was being stupid.
We have an ice cream van around every week day, I was always wondering who nowadays buys them, especially with corner shops and ice cream everywhere, guess I have my answer! £10 a day is insane!My other half absolutely HAVING to buy a bloody ice cream every time the van comes down the street£10 yesterday and £10 today on four ice creams for him and the kids. I’m saying no out of principle!
It’s hard though. Some of the comments we’ve had, it’s shocking. I got into an argument with a woman on the bus because my son was having a meltdown (it was a different number bus to which we usually got and he couldn’t handle the change in routine). I had my youngest in the buggy at the time so was quite the juggle and the bus was packed. This woman actually tried to give my son into trouble for crying. I was gobsmacked. I told her not to dare speak to my son like that again and to mind her own business. I ended up getting off a couple of stops earlier, I was so harassed.Thankyouyou are so right! Adults are such harder work when understanding things like this. I Just need to learn to rise above and keep my chin up.
its such a mixture of emotions, relief that’s something is finally being done but again like you said it’s a kick in the gut.
They asked about siblings/ family history during the appointment and have strongly advised we get my eldest checked also due to some of the traits she shows. I just wasn’t expecting to come away with issues with them both
Yes, thank you - it bloody is! Plus we’re only in March, is he gonna keep this up every weekend throughout the year?!We have an ice cream van around every week day, I was always wondering who nowadays buys them, especially with corner shops and ice cream everywhere, guess I have my answer! £10 a day is insane!
I am sorry you are so down at the moment. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.Is anyone actually happy? I mean, seriosuly?
How can people be happy? I long for death. Lack the capacity to change. Lack the capacity for anything.
Is anyone actually happy?
I hope you are ok. That's not nice, but don't fall into the trap of blaming yourself for other people's rudenessWas asked last week if wanted to meet some friends at a local park. I said can we go somewhere for a walk and a coffee as local park is not really a park. It’s a field with a swing. Heard nothing since.
Today their Instagram stories are at a park over 20 miles away feeding the ducks, eating ice cream. Never asked me. I’ve asked why not. Not had a reply but stories have been updated since.
I’m so pisssd off. It’s the same “friends” I mention here a lot. Time to cut strings but feel so upset about it all.
Thank you. I’ve had a bit of a cry. It’s been going on for a weeks. It’s like they are actively trying to lose me as a friend and I’m not sure why. I don’t know what I have done wrong and it’s really upsetting me but I know I shouldn’t want to be friends with people like this. We are in our 30’s for god sake!I hope you are ok. That's not nice, but don't fall into the trap of blaming yourself for other people's rudeness
