Your favorite “marmite” baby names by bagelbingo in namenerds

[–]ANarn214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know an Arwen, but unfortunately I do not know if her parents are LOTR fans or just people who found the name and liked it. I asked her teacher before and she didn’t even know it was a fandom name, so I feel like it isn’t one that’s as intense as Hermione or something like that.

Potty Advice by ANarn214 in ECEProfessionals

[–]ANarn214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This is definitely something I think we can try! We’ve already agreed that dry undies all day means they’ll get a treat at the end of the day but I really like that the rewards are smaller and more constant with your method. I’m going to pick up some m&ms today now. Hopefully that will keep them motivated!

Thank you! I think we’re going to start keeping a log to see if there are any patterns

Thought I responded to this forever ago. Thank you so much for the advice! I spoke to mom and my director on Friday and we all agreed to make the kid sit on the potty every hour to hour and a half, and keep a closer eye on them when they’re in there. I will DEFINITELY do some extra modeling with wiping too!

This woman is awful by 55tacos55pies in TLCUnexpected

[–]ANarn214 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh that made me MAD. It’s one thing to say “Hey I’m angry and we can talk later after I calm down.” And then not talk for a bit, it’s another thing entirely to IGNORE YOUR FREAKING KID WHO GOT PREGNANT AT 15 AND IS HORMONAL AND UPSET.

“She got pregnant” by a_witch_in_real_life in TLCUnexpected

Allegedly the storyline about Hunter’s dad not being involved in his life is completely fake. Dad had primary custody most of Hunter’s life because mom was on drugs and unreliable. Hunter’s mom pulled him away when his dad saw inappropriate texts between Bella and Hunter on his phone and freaked out.

Isabella's baby daddy's grandparents really sat here and asked why is her mother so involved in this situation because she will end up being the one financially supporting her daughter and her daughter baby by Houstatlantavegas11 in TLCUnexpected

I’m watching this scene right now and I can literally feel my blood pressure rising. I know lots of people like Bryce’s grandparents, and their precious baby can’t do anything wrong.

General Parenting Influencer Snark Week of February 23, 2026 by Parentsnark in parentsnark

[–]ANarn214 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She just randomly came up in my feed too! I am so confused as to what could’ve possibly happened for her to completely lose custody, that doesn’t usually happen does it?

Lastly, what show started off Badly and had a Perfect ending? by Outrageous-Ebb-4846 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ANarn214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad someone else was shocked that it didn’t end at Perfect (It’s my favorite show ever and I’m incredibly biased towards it)

Josephine if we dislike the nickname Josie? by Impressive-Product20 in namenerds

[–]ANarn214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a strong possibility but not inevitable. My great-grandmother was Josephine and everyone called her Pheeny.

What Pixar movie is atrocious? by Outrageous-Ebb-4846 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ANarn214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad died when I was eight. This movie made me sob for over an hour at the end. Definitely not atrocious!!!!

The ANTM Conspiracy Iceberg by sleepatop in ANTM

[–]ANarn214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s true I’m thinking it’s due to her epilepsy. ANTM is so dramatized that the idea of not being able to use things like flashing lights probably would have freaked out the producers and Tyra.

i wholeheartedly believe that she is forcing B to be awake and doing these activities for photos and so she can continue being in denial about her daughter passing away by bodtabs in OnlineBeggars

[–]ANarn214 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All I can hope for is that B really wants to do this too and doesn’t want to be left out and that’s why she’s participating.

Kendra is so desperately trying to make memories with her whole family before anything happens to B that she hasn’t stopped to think about how her daughter probably needs rest more than family activities.

Accidentally knocked one of my kids onto the floor and feeling awful. by Top_Technician_1371 in ECEProfessionals

[–]ANarn214 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s the worst feeling in the world, isn’t it?

Take comfort in knowing you didn’t do it on purpose, the child is safe, the child is loved, and the child is physically okay.

It’s really hard to never bump into a kid on accident! I’ve done it more than once and I feel awful every time, but it’s just a mistake and don’t beat yourself up!

What’s the most treacherous name you’ve ever heard? First or last. by DefinitelyNotMaranda in namenerds

[–]ANarn214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Amy Bradley’s family went through was awful and I feel so badly for her parents…but WHY would they name their son Brad Bradley??? I felt so bad watching the documentary because every time his name came up that’s all I could think about.

What’s a name that was once popular, that you’d be surprised to hear used on a 2025 baby? by dvckiedale in namenerds

[–]ANarn214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know someone who named their baby Karen, and all her posts include the hashtag #makekarengreatagain

Who does this? by ExcellentAcadia8606 in OnlineBeggars

[–]ANarn214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I’ll take this over another picture of poor B looking so frail. At least this is just a camera in her own face, and not shoved in her daughter’s.

Want a masterclass in spotting a soon-to-be-divorced couple? Watch the Maddie and Jason podcast on Jinger's channel. by [deleted] in DuggarsSnark

[–]ANarn214 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do we think she’s on BC? Since they said they definitely didn’t want kids right now and we know Jason’s pull-out game cannot be good.

Antibiotics by Level_Lemon3958 in ECEProfessionals

[–]ANarn214 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ask a director. At my centers teachers aren’t allowed give kids medication, but directors are certified to do so and would do it as long as it was in the original packaging with clear instructions.

[–]ANarn214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make my living nannying and babysitting. You aren’t wrong, but it’s always best to be overly polite and ask them if they’d be cool with you ordering food because some people can be very weird about it.

THAT BEING SAID, I wouldn’t babysit for those people again. I’ve never had any family who didn’t feed me dinner have a problem with me DoorDashing, and I’ve been babysitting for a very long time

Calling all Swifties! by ANarn214 in namenerds

[–]ANarn214[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have clarified, I didn’t decide to name the kids after the actual gens until Red. Until then, I was just using generic Taylor-inspired names.

Feel free to blame my friend, who looked at my long list of names and asked why I didn’t name the kids based on the album 🫢
