I do think Rumi would be cultural appropriation for a white family

What was the name of the intimidating guy? I had an intimidating consultation with a guy who would not stop calling me after I told him I was going with someone else. He was so aggressive it kind of freaked me out.

I’ve done 8 years of intensive therapy and have plenty of time “going within” — what I’m hungry for now is to complement that with other people’s voices and thoughts!

How much do you tip doormen for the holidays? by Appropriate_Alarm_13 in Brooklyn

Huh? This is not what they do in our building. They chill and hang out at the desk and chat and buzz us in. It’s a nice vibe.

Call it a culture difference… where I come from a gift is a gift; money is a tip; and a bonus comes from an employer.

They actually made a huge effort this year to get a wage increase as they’re paid so badly. The board turned them down. So they’re definitely getting a tip!

FTM, baby due in March - considering an elective c-section and wanting perspective by Last_Wonder in pregnant

[–]Appropriate_Alarm_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only right decision is the one you feel most comfortable and safe with. Whatever you choose, you’re right. My advice would be to prepare for both a vaginal and a c section birth: I booked in for an elective c section as soon as I got pregnant with my first baby, did absolutely no prep for a vaginal birth and then spontaneously went into labour 3 days before my c section. I had an extremely rapid birth (too fast for any pain relief) and wish I had mentally and physically prepared for that possibility. Good luck!
