Why has my dog suddenly stopped eating her dog food? My aunt spoiled her with treats when she was babysitting my dog; did she get spoiled? How do I make her enjoy regular old dog food again?

Sounds like she's got you well trained to dish out the treats! :-)Don't 'reward' her for eating, don't shove food into her mouth, don't try to make her chew (dogs don't chew their food like we do), don't give her 'people' food, don't make any kind of fuss over food at all.  If she doesn't want to eat her perfectly good, nutritionally-balanced dog food (that is the kind you're giving her, right?), pick the dish up after a few minutes and put it out of sight until the next mealtime. If she still shows no interest, pick the dish up again until the next mealtime. When she's hungry, she'll eat. Don't praise her for eating, don't scold her for not eating.(I'm assuming that this pickiness is brought on by your aunt's 'kindness'; if you suspect any other reason - a sore tooth or mouth access, for instance - that might be making eating difficult, then she needs to see the vet. No need to bother the vet with spoiled brat syndrome, though).If there's any chance your aunt is going to be doing any more puppy-sitting for you, make sure she knows your dog is NOT to be given people food. If necessary give her a highly-exaggerated version of how your dog's last encounter with hotdogs and hamburgers caused her terrible medical distress. If your aunt insists on feeding your dog rubbish, get a different puppy-sitter next time.

Do you hide food in your house from your significant other?

No we keep everything readily available for each other and if one of us is about to take the last of something we almost always ask if the other wants to have some too.Besides there is only two of us so if he eats the last chocolate or if I ate the last chips we can't blame the garden gnome now can we.Its either him or me, so its better to ask and share then to get scolded later about why you ate it without sharing. When you are with many people they will all point a finger at each other and you will never know who did it.In my Netherlands home I had to hide because we were living with a lot of people at some point. And anything kept in the kitchen was ment for everyone. So if I bought some stuffs I would buy for the family and me separately. The stuffs for family went to the kitchen cabinet. My stuff I kept either in my room or in my washroom cabinet which was normally ment for soaps, hair brushes etc. Lol. If it was something that needed refrigeration I would manoeuvre it behind the vegetables where no one would want to look……lol.Writing your name would never stop anyone from taking it and they would all blame each other or say “i didn't see the name, write it more clear next time” while writing it with a black marker……….Thanks for asking.

My aunt Called Child Services on me, out of spite...

what Should I expect them to do?

What happened was, two days ago I called my grandma and aunt (they live together) and asked them if they would watch my son for a day. I wasnt feeling well, and my other aunt (the one that called CPS) found out my son was there and flipped out. She says I dump him off there and it has to stop. Which btw, he is not there all that often.

So she wrote me a letter saying she called CPS and told them that my house was smelly and my son wasnt taken care of....

If this seems hard to believe, i understand, but she is crazy like this and has tried to take me from my mom and gave her own kids away before. She just hates happy people and IS this way....thats all i can say....

So what do they look for when they look at your house, I have nothing to hide, but I want to pass with flying colors.

Is my aunt hiding anything about my inheritance?

I'm assuming your aunt is/was the executor of your mum’s will. If so, unless specified otherwise in the will, she holds your inheritance “in trust” for you until you become “of age”, which is probably 18 in your country. Or until any other age specified in the will.A good starting point would be to see the will, then at least you know where you stand and what the rules are.Wills do take time to sort out. There are tax liabilities to be settled which can easily take a year, assets to be liquidated, bank accounts to be taken control of.If she's holding assets in trust for you, she is obliged to manage them for your benefit. This means she can spend money for your welfare - food, education, clothing, holidays, etc. It's her choice, but it must be to your benefit. She can also invest money. Ethically if it's a large amount and doesn't she doesn't know about money, she can/should hire an advisor which will be paid out of the estate. She should NOT be investing in her boyfriends hemp business or loaning the money to herself.So why is she being cagey?The simplest explanation is she's simply freaked out by the whole thing. It's a hell of a situation for everybody. Maybe she's taking some time to get her head around it.Another likely explanation is she might be concerned that you knowing you're coming into some money might make you work less hard at school and those part time jobs kids should have.Another possibility is she's spending it on shoes and handbags for herself. It's possible. It happens. It depends on the nature of the people involved and their economic situation.I would start with seeing the will, and go see the lawyer. Ring him/her up, explain who you are, mention your age, explain you'd like to come in for a chat, and they'll almost certainly agree to see you without awkward questions like who's paying.

How do i get rid of my annoying aunt?

Damn where is your aunt from?? Lol You should talk to your mom and dad or just try to avoid dealing with your aunt.

What is best place to hide a snack from your kids?

The question originally asked by Jenni Wieters was: What is best place to hide a snack from your kids?Thank you for the A2A.I’m assuming you wish to hide snacks so that when you want some there would be some left. That was impossible in our household since my boys have noses like Bloodhounds. The only solution was homemade snacks. If we all three worked together making them we all got our share. Our latest favorite is homemade potato chips and cocktail sauce.For the chips use a sharp knife and thin-slice your favorite variety of potato. You can peel them first or leave the skins on. We do it both ways. Deep fry them in a deep-fryer, fry pan or wok until they reach your favorite level of doneness. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.For the cocktail sauce I’ll let you determine your favorite proportions. The average family wouldn’t tolerate our level of horseradish.Combine in small bowl:Ketchup. Our current favorite is Hellmann’s Real Ketchup for its vinegary tang.Prepared horseradish.Worcestershire sauce. Start small and add slowly.Lawry's Caribbean Jerk Marinade but any brand will usually do.Once you’ve perfected the proportions you’ll never use a different shrimp cocktail sauce.It’s great fun and a great snack and you get to do kewl stuff with your kids. That way when you get old maybe they won’t put you in a home. ;o) Enjoy.

Is it rude for house guests to bring/buy their own food?

I'm forty years old and my aunt wants me to stay with her when I visit. I love her very much, but in my opinion she is a terrible hostess if I have to be in her house for more than a day. She not only refuses to stock food and beverages that guests like, she forbids them from bringing or buying any of it themselves. I'm not talking about wacky diet stuff either, I mean things like coffee, cream, diet soda, snacks, etc. When I host house guests I try to put as much thought into buying what *they* like, and I'm certainly not offended if one of them says, "Hey, I'm really craving bagels right now, can we go get some?". My aunt insists that this is unbelievably rude and that house guests should eat and drink whatever their hosts have, NO MATTER WHAT. Every time this subject comes up there is tension and my aunt invariably says, "This is my house and I make the rules, and if people aren't happy with what I have in, they shouldn't come...but then I'll know that having coffee in the morning was more important to them than spending time together and they will not be invited back." Is my aunt a control freak with food issues or am I the one being unreasonable? How do I handle this the next time I visit my family?

What do parents secretly hide from their children?

My parents hid many things from me that I found out later. They weren’t doing so to be mean, but they didn’t think I had a need to know. Unfortunately I did find out these things later anyway.My father had been married before he met my mother. I found out when going through his life insurance policy when I was in my 30s.My mother had a baby before me and before she met my father. Apparently my aunts and uncles knew, but my sisters and I didn’t.Both of my parents have been dead for more than 20 years now, so they aren’t going to complain that I’m telling family secrets.The last one is more interesting.My mother’s family was in the internment camp at Crystal City, Texas during WWII. That’s where she spent her 10th birthday. I didn’t find out about this until my aunt died in 2010. I found a large box with over 200 letters sent between my grandparents describing daily life at that time. You can find the book Camp Letters: 1942–1945 on Amazon at this link: Robert V. NightingaleThe answer for most of these things was “oh, those things happened a long time ago. You don’t need to know. It was a sad time.” I always felt that if you don’t share the most important moments of your life and the lessons you learned from them with your children, they will not appreciate what struggles you went through.There were many questions I had for them over these many years. But now it’s too late to ask. Those answers are now hidden forever.
