Is anyone else tired of their dog?

I use to love this dog before having a kid. It’s my boyfriends dog. But I would take her to parks, make her run and just hang with her and take her places.
I didn’t realize there was so much to dogs and that my boyfriend wasn’t doing the necessary parts.
My cat who’s oranges ended up with fleas, couldn’t understand why because she’s indoors and never had any. After a couple of my boyfriend denying it’s from his dog, flea combed her and she turned out to be a buffet for them.
Anyways this weekend I went got my moms so he could spray and clean the carpets.
He refused to do the fogger, used raid and what do you know bugs are still on the carpet.
I’m upset, I low key want her gone because he should have been bathing her giving her meds and doing some necessary training for her.
Visitors always ask for her to get put away when they come over because she’s always jumping and scratching. 57 pound dog
When she’s on her period, we find her sitting on the couch😬😬.
I’m so fed up with this dog, she’s ran away several times. I’ve had to run outside no bra or shoes trying to get her with the baby in my arms.
Idk how to say I’m fed up anymore… I’m fucking fed up

Not to sound mean, I understand its hard with a dog, specially a big one, but it's also not her fault and she doesn't really know better. Your partner has to get on top of training ASAP! And so do you, as it works better when everyone in the house is strict about it, but it can defo be normal to feel fed up you have a lot going on and babies and crazy dogs are hard to handle but just try to remember she didn't choose this and you guys are her family. You just really need to have those serious convos on getting that training up to scratch and keeping up with the flea treatment. I recommend pets at home when you sign up they give you the flea and worming treatment everymonth for flea and every 3 for worms included in your monthly payment, and they send a reminder text so you don't forget to keep up with it. I hope things get better 🩵

Fix that dog, first of all, that should help a little. Second, if it’s his dog, I would flat refuse to do anything for the dog anymore. You’ve got a baby, how old?? A bit of advice for fleas, the oral flea meds work the best. Gotta treat all the animals and yeah idk about carpets . Dog with a period that’s just gross fix her

And yeah if nothing changes you could make an ultimatum. Either you fix the dog problems or else… the dog goes bye bye

Honestly from a dog lover speaking here. Take your baby back to your mom’s house until the fleas problem is fixed. You don’t want your baby getting bit.

I’m a strong believer of boundaries with dogs so it sounds like the dog has none and depending on the age of the dog it’s easier said than done to train it.
Ask your boyfriend to get the dog fixed to take care of the period and depending on what state you are in they have free shots and vaccinations days for dogs. Also some offer free days to get your dog fixed.
Don’t offer to look after the dog anymore because he needs to take responsibility for the dog. Also chip the dog or put a AirTag on it. Don’t run after it cause they think it’s a game. You guys can practice recall commands. When mine doesn’t come when I ask we practice going to the front door from the street over and o er again to the point my dog knows when I call you come.
You’re going to have to start practicing commands with the dog also It will make your life 10x better

i have this exact problem, except it's our dog that we rescued, she's lovely and doesn't jump up so often but the flea problem is so bad, my cat has them, they're all over the bed even though we don't let them on the bed, im only 15 weeks pregnant and i've been thinking about getting rid of the dog for abit now, i feel guilty thinking about it but she's always get her head in the bin eating rubbish and dragging it all over the bedroom, she's 8 now and she's started weeing in her bed and my boyfriend has nothing to do with her, i have to let her out to wee, i do it every hour now due to her accidents in the house instead of every other hour, she doesn't go on walks unless i take her and with being ill while i'm pregnant she's getting less walks, she bites her legs and her tail and we've had to take her to the vets, we don't have the money to have to keep taking her to the vets and i feel awful about it because i really love her, she's beautiful and gentle but she's expensive af

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.
