There are at least 3 posts on this thread, and several on another I've looked at just today where people sound really judgemental and preachy. If you've never been in that situation, you don't know how it feels.

If someone asks for advice and you want to give it, go right ahead. It doesn't mean they have to take it. If someone seems to need support and you don't have it to give, just hit the back button.

Bruizersmummy, I'm glad you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Keep it up.
I have not seen a single post that is judgemental or preachy here. One thing I love about YT is that most people here are very concerned about the well-being of each other, and each other's animals. Several members are concerned about the well-being of two dogs, with more puppies on the way, in an unstable home that can't neccessarily take care of even one dog. (I didn't say that the owner doesn't want to take care of her baby, I know she does, and I know she loves him, but she's in a self-admitted tough spot financially and time-wise right now.) Taking on the responsibility of whelping puppies could lead to a considerable expense (thousands of dollars) and a huge time commitment that could be used to improve the shaky situation bruizersmummy is in now.

I am not taking sides here, I am just attempting to see things from the perspective of the people you are condemning as sounding "judgemental and preachy." They are all wonderful caring people, and do not intend to hurt anyone. They are genuinely concerned about the welfare of these furbabies.

I too wish you, bruizersmummy the best of luck. You have been in my prayers since you first posted this thread, and I really feel for you, as I was raised in a similar situation.
