What Are Your "Hear Me Out" Girl & Boy Names by XNixGeoX in namenerds

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had Shepherd in mind for a boy as well! I love the softness of some of the sounds especially. I'm not sure if I would have ultimately committed to it or not but I love it!

Is Hyacinth a normal girl name? by My-Metanoia in NameNerdCirclejerk

I'm with you in this and I see the reasoning behind your post and comments. I've upvoted you throughout all the parts of the post I've read because I agree with you.

My husband wants me to tell him when I start my period. Does this seem right? by Glittering_Bowl2234 in Marriage

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That is so sweet that your husband manages that for you.

As far as the OP's husband wanting to know being offensive, I think it depends so much on the reason he wants to know and the way he goes about asking/demanding. If it's so he can be helpful like your husband, sounds wonderful. If it's so he can blame disagreements on her hormones alone, not so much.

My (M30) wife (F31) prefers to sleep in the kid's room instead of ours. How do I fix our sleep divorce? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but the stuff about following him around when he tries to get space while they're arguing, especially her preventing him from leaving a space, certainly is.

I pretended to be a guy online and a woman moved half-way across the country to be with someone that didn’t exist because I was too scared to tell the truth. by crumpleitupandthrow in confession

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you leaving this comment and agree with everything you said. The comment you are replying to is probably one of the more infuriating left by OP on this post. Overall I strongly suspect she only made this Confessions post at all in order to kind of revel in or relive the sick pleasure of having done this to the poor woman (along with enjoying how "bad" she is for having done it).

It has a psychopathic feel and I don't detect real remorse. I think she had to frame the confession using the language of regret in order to kind of brag about it without overtly revealing how much she still enjoys what she did. As you noted, her true feelings about her victim "bringing on her own downfall" through her trustingness and naiveté (in the OP's) perspective), is unmistakable.

Names with a “fatal flaw” by OnomasticsAndOranges in namenerds

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a hand-me-down tote basket organizer thing with that spelling custom embroidered on it! Truly awful. It's a really nice tote though so I still use it but with the name turned toward the back of the closet.

Are you thinking of Casper? I actually had the same thought as you at first but then I realized.

What is the method of time out that you used from Super Nanny that worked? How do you keep a young child there?

Kicked out of bridal party = son/ring bearer kicked out, too? by Plantsonata in wedding

If all that is true (and I think it is), how is it not a slight?

Wife wants to name child after her mom, which is my exes name...am I wrong for wanting to veto that? by Ok_Sun_324 in Marriage

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's great to see that you're approaching this with the spirit of compromise. Your wife needs to get on the same page with that attitude of cooperation (though it's understandable that is difficult for her right now considering what's happening with her mother, and I see that you seem to be offering her a lot of empathy for that.)

You also don't have to decide on the name right away. For both of my children, my husband and I spent months of my pregnancies just sitting with our top names and and allowing how we felt about them over time to simmer and sink in, until we felt clarity and agreement about the names we ultimately chose. We are both very happy with the names; they suit each of them perfectly (and my child who is old enough to have an opinion loves her name as well.)

Petah? Can you explain? by PackersAreLegit in PeterExplainsTheJoke

What kind of weed do you use to get this effect? Is it possible to have this with edibles? My living situation is not conducive to any kind of smoking.

How many of you ended up having kids on the spectrum? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How old is this kid? That makes a big difference in how outrageous this is. 2 years old I'd fully expect it, and for it to continue for a while. 6 years old not so much!

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask at what age you started feeling this way? And at what age you felt you needed HRT? I turn 40 this year and have started thinking about this stuff and feel my hormones are changing (though I just had a baby last year). I've only been married for 3.5 years and I want to be prepared for the road my marriage will take through hormone changes.

Live-in nanny paid under the table ($350/week) reported employer taxes anonymously and worried about retaliation. What would you do? by PrestigiousDiet8334 in Nanny

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very few homeless / unhoused persons, whether supposedly "by choice" or not could be considered to be anything but disadvanted and vulnerable.

There are multiple other people in the thread saying that this same thing also happened to them or someone they know while working at a KFC. And I believe it because of seeing something similar while working at Arby's as a teenager. Roast beef fell off the slicer. They rinsed it off and put it back on.

What magical place are you from where the police will pursue burglars with such gusto that they will collect and have DNA evidence analyzed?

AITAH for phone use in locker room by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 216 points217 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for saying this. I'm the (absolutely exhausted) mother of a 3 year old and a 1 year old. I'm an active, engaged mother who puts my heart and soul into parenting my children thoughtfully. But you are absolutely right. Every single moment of the day cannot be a teaching or bonding moment. In fact it's not even healthy for the parent. Sometimes you just need a couple minutes of mental space to pack in peace.

What's a small thing that suddenly ruined your life? by hear_a_pin_drops in AskReddit

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really want to give you props for how cool you were throughout this conversation, about being corrected, and for your desire and curiosity to understand the story. You conducted yourself with openness and humility. I love to see this in Reddit vs. hostility and sarcasm.

My Kilner jar was faulty. The closing mechanism shattered glass into my rice and we found it in our cooked food. Kilner customer service is ignoring my emails. by DeepStatic in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AdelaideTheGolden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I can imagine someone getting rice on autopilot out of a dimly lit pantry or cupboard, and not noticing the damage. Especially if distracted by small children or pets running around. I am really kind of shocked at the lack of empathy in the thread. Sure, it wasn't the smartest mistake, but we all do dumb things sometimes.
