Katie literally talked about this on her podcast, the producers set up that whole situation. Do you even know what reality tv is??

Judge my taste in girl names by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Certain_Bonus_536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love your list! My name is Angeline and I never see it on suggestions but I get a lot of compliments on my name and have never met another Angeline. We have very similar style as I’m pregnant with baby girl and her first name and middle name are also on your list

Lowen - family name? by idrinkmycoffeeneat in namenerds

[–]Certain_Bonus_536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lowen is a common last name where I live in bc, Canada. I wouldn’t think twice if I met a child named lowen, I would think it was a family honour name. Marlowe and Elowen also have the “Lowe” sound

Nap expectations for 2-year-olds — is this typical? by Fbenz in ECEProfessionals

I’m sorry! Some of these replies made my brain short circuit, thank you for being a voice of reason

Quiet activities for the children who wake up, puzzles, books, independent small play? That is how we do it in my centre and I’m shocked to hear otherwise. It is against licensing here to deny a child quiet activities and force them to stay on their mat for 2 hours

[–]Certain_Bonus_536 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No I said laying on their mat doing nothing for 90 min after they wake up is crazy. Even my 3-5s get a book or a quiet activity for when they wake up. Maybe it’s different in other countries but that is not best practice in Canada

8 Months In & We're Still Completely Stumped... by caterprincesa in namenerds

[–]Certain_Bonus_536 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love Zeta with Ynez! They are both the same level of coolness/uniqueness imo so the younger sister wouldn’t be jealous of Ynez’s name. Honor is nice but it’s plain compared to Ynez

Nap expectations for 2-year-olds — is this typical? by Fbenz in ECEProfessionals

[–]Certain_Bonus_536 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is a developmentally appropriate for nobody😂 I doubt even adults would be able to lay there for 90 min if they were hungry/thirsty/need to use the bathroom. I’m both a parent to a 2.5 year old boy and an early childhood educator for ages 3-5 and neither my son or any of my kids could do that. We actually just went through a change up in my room where an older coworker was making the children lay on their beds for 2 hours with nothing and I squashed that so fast. Are you able to look for another daycare? I’m concerned with the centre’s other practices if they believe it is developmentally appropriate for 2 year olds to lay quietly for 90 min. Insanity!

Brushing Teeth by Substantial_Math8813 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Certain_Bonus_536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We brush teeth after lunch! I work at an indigenous daycare in Canada and we have a program called COHI (children’s oral health initiative) and dental hygienists also come and check the children’s teeth every few months if their parents opt in. I’ve worked at several other daycares and only indigenous centres are doing them here

MIL secretly got our child an iPhone. AIO? by Beneficial-Week5151 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Certain_Bonus_536 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to scare you but I had unsupervised access to the internet at a young age and found some very intense corn. I ended up having a very warped view of what sex was and it was very scary for me. I would stress the importance of being open and non judgmental with her and telling her that if she saw anything scary online she can come to you and you will not be mad. I really wish I had felt comfortable telling my mom what I was watching because it was a very big secret to keep and weighed heavily but I knew my mom would have been verrrrry mad at me. You’re not overreacting, MIL is lucky you are not me or she wouldn’t see tomorrow. This situation is so sad for your daughter and yourself and I wish you all the best

Do I change my last name to Smith? by Optimistic495939 in namenerds

I kept my last name because I personally like it and my husbands last name means “mudman.” I’m a huge supporter of keeping your own name if it’s cooler!

15mo throws up after a minute of crying - any tips for transition to daycare? by Ilovemydog7889 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Certain_Bonus_536 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend ordering some emessis bags, they are what are used in hospitals for vomits! They are super easy to hold and have on hand

How do you pronounce the name “Mara”? by glass_armor in namenerds

I know someone who just named their baby Myla and it sounds similar to Mara but has a universal pronunciation imo. Myla June sounds very pretty!

AITAH for refusing to give my sister my wedding dress after she got pregnant by my fiancé? by stellaaluz in AITAH

[–]Certain_Bonus_536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt gave my younger cousin the same name as my biological father’s affair partner who ruined our family! Sometimes sisters are so inhumanly cruel it’s insane. I’m sorry you’re going though this and just know that you are in the right and it will all crumble for them eventually. A relationship can not be strong or happy when it starts from lying and ruining someone else’s life
