How do you tackle transgender people who ask for money in trains?
LOL thanks for the awkward ask Ajas :PUnfortunately I don’t have much train experience, though i have a lot of “eunuch” experience. After reading the answers here, I must say I am lucky to have only come across polite Hijras. They only try to sound rude and touched me only at appropriate places, if ever. And I never experienced any kind of flashing. Moreover when they are not on their “extortion” runs, its hard to spot them because they are very well behaved in public settings otherwise. You would see them and think “Something is off about that woman”. That’s it. Of course these are just anecdotal evidence based on my encounters with them in public transport and offices.How do I deal with them?I say no.They obviously respect consent more than a majority of men out there LOLHowever I do have a funny train-Hijra experience to share:Spring of 2015, we were returning from Goa. Took the train because we ran out of money. We swapped seats with a huge family so they could sit together. Result being a friend and I were seated 2 coaches away from the rest of the gang. Had a good night’s sleep. After night comes morning. But this morning brought eunuchs too. The guy who took the upper bunker went for his morning business. I wake up and sit there, slow and groggy. In came the eunuch “Ey paisa de na!” (hey give me money!). Now remember I was all slow and groggy. And before I could do or say anything, she touched my left cheek.I instinctively pulled the faux grin. Not my fault, muscle memory. After the countless family gatherings/parties I’ve been to since I was little, I’ve been conditioned to grin wide when older people pinch my cheeks. She went away just like that.I must have REALLY creeped her off -_-PS: It sucks that we are still not able to recognize them as human beings so they can study, get a job and live a normal life, interacting with the rest of us.

My 8 month old golden retriever is terrible!!!?
Wow an 8 month old terror! If your Aunt is a Golden expert why hasn't she helped you out before things got so out of hand. I strongly suggest obedience training and not letting her rule you or your home. Get a crate and crate train her. sounds like basic training has been nonexistent. No golden should be growing at their owner. You need the help of a trainer and not a PetsMart or PetCo kind either. She need to learn her place and now. Also sounds like she is allowed free roam of your house. Stop that now! Gate her in the kitchen,until you can get her a crate. At 8 months old she is still a pup and she can learn to behave herself. But you must trainer to be a good girl. Take her for long walks to get some of her extra energy out and then start to train her in the basics. Get a good trainer to help you. Golden's don't learn on their own, no dog does they must be taught what is correct and what is not. That's where you come in. If you don't train her now than she will never be a good canine citizen. The ball is in your court! If you refuse to crate train her than you will need to get some gates and gate her in one place until she is trustworthy. None of my Golden's were allowed free roam until they were at least 1 1/2 years old and that was when I was here watching them. Never at night. My boy's are now 3 and 4 years old and I have just allowed them free roam at night just this past year. Also you will need to train the pup that her food is not to be touched. Your older Golden growing is just a warning to tell pup to stay away from her food and is normal, snapping is just not allowed and a correction to your older Golden is necessary and the pup removed. The pup has to learn too. This is mostly common sense stuff. Ok I still think you need a trainer for your self to help you out. Some kenneled dogs just need time to get socialized and it does take time. Golden's are not stupid and they are very smart. It could be that she just doen't trust anyone just yet and giving her boundries will help this out a lot. See what make her respond to you better. maybe treats, maybe praise. Work with her a hours 2 times a day just on the basics and see how that goes. Take care!
How do I help my baby sleep through the night?
I've given my baby girl (born may 15, 2015) bad sleep habits. My husband can't stand crying so I rock, bottle feed, give her a paci and/or hold her at night. It's starting to take a toll on me. I'm always tired, she wakes several times a night (every 2-3 hours) and won't go back to sleep easy (without the mentioned above). I put her down to sleep when she starts yawning and rubbing her eyes, I give her a paci and have been patting her back. every few mins she loses her paci and I have to do it again until she falls asleep. Then a few hours later after bed time she wakes up and won't go back to sleep unless I pick her up, sometimes I have to feed her before she will settle back down. I'm at my wits end please help me. I've looked for solutions but have not found any that work for us. Please tell me exactly what I need to do.
Is it okay if a 3 months old baby sits on a carseat for an 8 hours trip?
Q: Is it okay if 3 months old baby sit on car seat for 8 hours trip?Yes, if you're willing to make numerous stops.We took our son on a 6-hour car ride when he was 4 months old. We made sure that he got a good night's sleep the night before, and I fed him right before we got into the car.I sat in the back seat and sang to him and played with him. He generally likes the car, so he did well for the most part. We pulled over four times for feedings, diaper changes, and to give him some air. He was cranky for the last hour, but not terribly so, and we were able to keep him from total misery by singing and saving up his favorite toys till the end.Car seats are stiff and sweaty, so it's not fair to leave the baby in there for too long of a stretch. But if you follow the baby's cues and respond to his needs during the trip, he should be fine. Of course, if he's not fine, please pull over for however long he needs, even if it adds unexpected time to your drive.
Will my 9 month old puppy be OK if I leave her alone all day (8 hrs) for work? I've never left her for more than 2 hrs and she freaks out when I leave. Upon return she whimpers and runs to me like she thought I abandoned her, even when gone briefly.
Dogs are not puppies by months but by maturity and different dogs mature at different rates. Would you leave a human baby for 9+ hours (you do have travel time to get to and from work) while you worked. “Never” should be your answer.Part of the responsibility of pet ownership it to think of this before you get the puppy.You do not want to crate a puppy for that amount of time either. You would most assuredly create a dog with separation anxiety problems and others. Puppies under that stress will relieve themselves in their crate as well.You might even create a dog that will shred your couch while you are gone if you leave it alone to early and they are not prepared, as your dog has already shown the signs of separation anxiety.Puppies and dogs live in the moment. Until a puppy has grown to the age where you can train it and it will understand that you will return to them, you are not being fair to the dog. The exception to this is when you leave them for a short amount of time, not a working day.As they grow and hear and understand what it means when you say, “I’ll be back.”, they are then old enough to be left alone.You might even create a dog that will shred your couch while you are gone if you leave it alone too early.Options. Find a dog sitter that will come to your house several times a day to let the puppy outside to go potty and have a bit of human time.The other option would be to put your puppy in a facility that has doggy daycare.Neither of these options are free but that is the price of dog ownership.You could also find a friend or family member with a dog that is home during the day that would be willing to let you drop off your puppy for the day. Personally I would pay them with cash or a nice 40 lb of dog food when they need it.If you can’t give your new puppy the care it needs you might consider finding it a new home. Be very careful to check out the person you turn your dog over to. People take dogs and even pay for them and your puppy finds itself in a research lab. Sad but true.You could also contact that breed’s rescue site to try and put you in touch with a foster home near you that might consider taking your baby for the day until it reaches maturity to know, you will be back.I hope this helps.
