I think the op in the last story might be kinda overreacting. The child attacked her, she had every right to attack back. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
for the last one: should she have just let him attack her and your dog??? seems like he doesn’t care for her safety or his dog’s safety at all. maybe she’s the one that doesn’t know who she’s dating
the last one what was she supposed to do just let the kid keep stabbing her? it was self defense she need to break up with him since he think of her that way
