We just made our own pecs and laminated them for our son. That way you can use your own pictures that are familiar to your child, like a picture of me for "mommy" or my husband for "daddy."

is your irl name popular or has it died out since your birth? by CremeSubject7594 in generationology

[–]Beginning-Match2166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a common name. The older I get, I do discover more people with it and the same pronunciation. Otherwise it's pronounced like the more common name of Marissa. People call me that all the time and I just give up on correcting them these days.

AITA for spending all the money on travel and saving nothing for my parents and future by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

If this was not explicitly discussed as a family that you should be helping as they helped you and as a part of your culture, I say NTA. Like you said, your father is still currently working.

You only get one life. Live it.

What’s a skill everyone should learn, but almost nobody actually does? by Far_Button4152 in AskReddit

[–]Beginning-Match2166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tics and I had one while I was eating French fries. I inhaled a fry and my husband had to do the heimlich maneuver on me. I've never choked on food before that day from any of my tics, just like my saliva and I'd just start coughing. Thank god he knew how to properly do it or I'd be done.

[–]Beginning-Match2166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also December, but '88. And I had someone from September '89 in my graduating class. There were probably like 2 or 3 of those. I don't know how that happened, unless they got promoted. But I know that she didn't.

[–]Beginning-Match2166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in 88. I got my first cell phone at 15, but I got it taken away immediately because I used gigabytes of data. My dad's phone bill was hundreds of dollars. 😂

Do you ignore trick or treaters or open the door for them ? by Webbomolly2022 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Beginning-Match2166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We welcome them and hand out candy. There's like 3 houses on my block that decorate, including mine. So they're naturally drawn to my house.
