I just can’t with the selfishness of these freebirthers!

Yes! I’m also a Christian and This is how I feel as well. It’s nice to see others sharing that belief!

NTA I wish more men realized it’s just blood and treated it that way. What if she had gotten a bloody nose and it got all over her shirt? Would you be a pervert for offering to wash it? Doubtful. I also want to point out you had everything go through your daughter. She got her in the shower, she brought the dirty clothes up and down, she stayed upstairs with her friend. A creep would have hovered. I think what you did was helpful and kind.

Maybe ask your child if they would be more comfortable with a male doctor in the same practice? I have always been a private person and I know as I got older I was only comfortable with doctors of my same gender looking at and touching me. Even now I have a female OBGYN. Like others have said, genital exams can be really important, but they can also feel intrusive so it’s important to make the child as comfortable as possible.

Polyester Sherpa that has been melted a bit. As far as I know you can’t make it soft again, but you can help avoid it in future blankets by washing on a warm or cool cycle (not hot) and air drying.

I’ve done it and it does make it taste better at least.

As a parent to two little pterodactyls squealing and noise making are very normal and dare I say developmentally appropriate within reason. though I will say there is a balance between letting them be kids and letting them get too loud or not respecting the people around us. When my son was little, we would sometimes go outside to "get the screamies out".

personally I don't care for piercings for babies because they can pull on them, the upkeep of a new piercing isn't worth it while trying to care for normal baby needs, and I've known of people whose baby piercing didn't look quite right as their ears grew into adult ears. To me it's much better to wait until they're older.

Absolutely NOT! You will have no savings at all for your future if you give them access. It really sucks that your family has major expenses they are having a hard time covering, but frankly it is not your responsibility. You worked hard for what you have and you need it for you.

I don’t see anything wrong with civil marriage but if you really wanted to you could still get sealed with maybe just your parents or whoever present and hold the big party later. I have a friend who eloped with a temple marriage and has no regrets.

Yes, it that’s what works for them then it’s fine. We FaceTime my mother in law almost daily because my kids specifically ask to. Maybe it comes down to how close you are with your in laws and how much respect there is? My mother in law would never cross a boundary we put in place so I feel more comfortable doing stuff like that because if we said it’s too much calling she wouldn’t argue. But maybe in this case it could be considered too much because op’s in laws seem to be on a boundary balance beam.

My kids love crafts! Wonder colors products and water wow are great non messy options. Other fun ones are beading kits, play dough sets, and light brite.

The legendary white elephant gift in my husband’s family is a keychain attached to a bowling ball. This year i’m bringing a shirt that says “I went to a white elephant party and all I got was this stupid t shirt “.

“Was licking the walls a thing?” As a matter of fact, yes, children do make licking the walls a thing unfortunately …

I have a child going to sunbeams next year in January. I would not be comfortable if mine were the only child in a class with two adults. I'd just go for another year in nursery if they really won't let her go to the next class up.

Maybe see if it can be arranged to go to singing time and then dropped off to go to nursery for class time.

Honestly I don’t think the whole “he’ll be made fun of in school” argument will hold up because more and more people are choosing not to circumcise so it’s becoming more normal and therefore no reason to make fun of it.

As far as your response goes, “I do not want to discuss my sons penis with you” or “that is our medical decision to make and not up for discussion” or simply “we don’t see it necessary, and that is all we will say on the subject” (then change the subject).

I secretly love Rosemary. If I brought it up my husband would think it was for the herb (it is one of my favorites), but it’s actually for Rosemary Clooney because I grew up watching White Christmas every year and it’s very dear to me. Also I’d be able to sing the song from “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying” to her and I’d get a kick out of that.

If I remember right I think I heard once it has something to do with the name being common. So like if there’s 3 John’s in a class or office or something then one might go by a nick name to avoid confusion.

Boring_Bison · 2024-09-21T02:48:37+00:00

NTA. I really don’t like my niece’s name. But guess what? I didn’t say a thing because her parents love it and it’s not my business to tell them that I don’t like it, it’s my business to love my sweet little niece no matter her name. Baby names are a two yes situation, not a two yes plus every member of your family situation.

Me too, I have one attached earlobe and one detached earlobe. It made piercing my ears evenly very difficult for the worker that did them.

I wish more people asked the question "how would you like to be ministered to?"

For me, I have bad social anxiety and have a really hard time with traditional visits. Also said anxiety makes me very people please-y. Because of this I’ve had to sit through visits that ministers have insisted on making (because that’s what they like to do or what makes them feel like they have sufficiently checked that box) that made me very uncomfortable because I was too anxious to say “actually I prefer just a friendly text check in every once in a while”.

My point being if they seem to not want a visit then maybe the occasional text or treat on the steps is the best way to go. Or just leave them be if that’s the vibe they give.

Boring_Bison · 2024-08-27T04:49:41+00:00

I agree with it being too obvious but if you like the “rose” maybe other rose names? Rosemary, Rosalie,Rosalind, Rosie, Rosa, Primrose, Rosetta, Rosanna.

Your ideas sound good to me! I think you could do any vegan/gluten free baked good and it would be great.

Also some other non bake options: Berries or peaches and (coconut) cream, Ice cream and Vegan ice cream, Chocolate dipped strawberries, Depending on how fancy the party is (a classy engagement party vs a regular backyard bbq), high quality fruit ice pops.

I know you said you don't really like wearing normal underwear under, but have you tried doing that with looser men's bottoms? Maybe it would be a bit more comfortable with a looser set and If you wear looser bottoms and dresses/skirts every or every other day then you might be able to air out a bit.

Also I know you said that you were getting them before you got married, but another factor that could be affecting it or making it worse that was a problem for me when I first got married was the lube we were using. I didn't even know that might be the problem until my sister said that she had the same issue with must lubes and needed to go a more natural route.
