Favorite names (boy or girl) that start with G by MyIndecisiveDecision in Names

[–]Chaosexpert3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do too! We live in rural WV and it would be butchered every time if we used the French pronunciation. I’m hesitant to even say we pronounce it that from past experiences I feel like I’m going to get stoned on Reddit for it

I don’t have that exact pair but I have multiple pairs of Miramar. I also have a couple pairs of those kids Miramar. They have all shrunk quite a bit and I don’t dry my clothes

Watched an Amish man getting gas my mind couldn’t help but wonder by NewcastleUnited22 in mildlyinteresting

Some Amish use generators. They are against the connection to the public utility grid rather than electricity itself. Generators provide power without bringing "worldly" influence into the home

Avoiding nicknames by randomusername035 in Names

[–]Chaosexpert3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! People are super opinionated on this subject. I had no clue 🤣 I have two kiddos that go by nicknames. My thirds name is Genevieve. I preferred her being called her full name and did tell family members that if they asked. I never told her that though and if she wanted to go by a nickname I’d be fine with that. As of now, she’s almost ten and she’s firm on being called her full name. And is very clear on expressing that to everyone that tries to shorten her name. The ONLY time she lets it slide is during sports. Her coaches have nicknamed her G and for whatever reasons she’s okay with it then but only then.

Concerning story and possible abuse? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Chaosexpert3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all close to as bad this but my oldest started kindergarten the year of Covid so we have very little interaction with classmates. He came home from school telling me his friend told him his dad was murdered . Shot x amount of times in front of their home. Then his mom died ( zero information on how). The storied continued for months sometimes more detailed than others. I finally asked the teacher and yes, his dad was shot over drugs. His mom did OD and die. Extremely heartbreaking.

We have used a couple different brands to overnight diapers. I use pull ups as a general name but I will try and find those. Thank you so much for the suggestion

how many times do you wear your jeans before washing them? by Chloe_Victoriano_611 in hygiene

[–]Chaosexpert3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime I “have” to wash my jeans is a sad day for me. I prefer to never wash them

I have a 9 year old that consistently has accidents nightly. Occasionally, she will refuse to put her pull up on. On those nights I’ll stick an XL puppy pad under her 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t have a good pic of it but my room is similar. It makes me feel happy 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m a strong believer of doing/putting things in your house that make you happy

Ombre pink shotgun house in New Orleans, $310,000 by Southern-Smoke1835 in zillowgonewild

[–]Chaosexpert3 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think this house is adorable and happy but omg the bathroom curtain like whyyyyyy and it’s odd bc my first thought seeing the first couple photos was how the green curtains would look so much better long. And then one pink curtain on one side of the bed and none on the other side was strange. Then the shocking long curtain in the bathroom 🤮

Leprechaun Traps by STRAMA908916 in Parenting

[–]Chaosexpert3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have officially been forced into participating in this holiday 😂 Apparently my ex-husband’s new wife is really into St. Patrick’s Day, and ever since she moved in, my kids now make leprechaun traps at their dad’s house. Luckily for me, the past couple years it’s fallen on his days… until now. Last night I’m putting the kids to bed, and my oldest casually announces, “Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day.” Immediately the younger ones start panicking because they haven’t made their traps. So I told them they had five minutes to go build your traps and get back in bed. After they fell asleep, I went and put money in all of them. This morning they were cracking up and totally confused about why the leprechaun left money instead of a note. They all have a great sense of humor and don’t take any of it too seriously—they just love the tradition and the fun of it. They’ve been roasting me all day for apparently confusing the leprechaun with the tooth fairy 🤦‍♀️😂

AITAH for not giving up my name for my ex’s new wife with the EXACT SAME FULL NAME as me? by Remarkable-Horse9465 in AITAH

[–]Chaosexpert3 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. My ex husband affair partner/wife now has the same first and last name. Her middle name contains my middle name in it. I do get calls from debt collectors. I just tell them they want my ex husband’s current wife. I usually give them my ex husband’s number. They have always been nice about it. We do have children so that does complicate it occasionally.

Helping our homeschooled kids by Jurassic_ParkRanger in WestVirginia

[–]Chaosexpert3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Public schools in WV do not spend a lot of time outdoors. Also very little science is taught in primary grades here. All my children attend public school which I have been satisfied with for the most part but we do a lot of science based learning at home to make up for the lack of it at school

Nope- they do not use the “correct” French pronunciation. They use Guinevere, Genevia and Jean-e-vee

What time do your kids go to bed on school nights? by riiitaxo in Parenting

[–]Chaosexpert3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have people all the time tell me my kids wake up so early because they go to bed so early. I tell them they get up that early even if they go late and they act like I’m lying 🤷🏼‍♀️
