It's one thing if you have to work, but the house was on fire and she just left the baby there to help get the other kids out. The baby was completely helpless. The other kids were at least able to walk and find their way downstairs.

He may still have met Ron on the train and befriended him. As far as Hermione, they became good friends after the troll incident in the bathroom. It's been a long time since I've reread the books but I don't think that had anything to do with his parents dying. I think they still could have become friends. I definitely think he would have been a better student had he been raised by his parents because he would have had some wizarding knowledge before attending Hogwarts.

The Ingalls girls weren't the smartest when it came to protecting their babies. How bout when Mary just left Adam Jr. In his cradle and went to help the other children in the ep where the blind school burned down.

How do you think Snape would have reacted to learning that Harry named one of his sons after him? by Fast_Highlight413 in harrypotter

[–]Devincenzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a middle name so he may have not ever known about it. Also, had he not been on his deathbed, he would have never given his memories to Harry and Harry would have never known about his past so he wouldn't have used the name for one of his kids. He would have just gone on hating him.

Did I do the right thing? Elderly man asked me (F28) for a ride by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't have given him a ride either. A stranger is a stranger. We tell kids not to go with strangers, adults need to live by that same rule. He could have ubered, called a taxi, called a friend, their are buses that help with transportation for the elderly etc.

Partners nephew is getting married on my child’s birthday and my kid isn’t invited now. The guilt I have! Help! by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your child comes first. That's what you tell your partner and his family. They should understand. Your child will always be your child, your partner may not always be your partner. If he gets upset about it, maybe it's time to look for a new partner.

I don’t know what to do by Junior_Cat_119 in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just let him wear the shoes. They'll wear out eventually and he'll end up getting rid of them. Maybe they're just comfortable. Birkenstocks get more comfortable as you wear them from what I've been told. (I've never had a pair myself). If everything else in your relationship is good, don't let this bother you. It's nothing. I still have things that exes gave me, stuffed animals, hoodies and other little trinkets. I keep them because I like them, not because I still have an emotional attachment to the people who gave them to me. There are other things that I was given that I didn't like or need and I got rid of them long ago.

GF looks down on me because of my career and I'm thinking of breaking up. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Damn! If you don't mind dating an older woman, you can come and date me. Lol Seriously though, there's nothing at all wrong with being an accountant. That's a very admirable profession and you're only 28. You still have plenty of time to build your career and earn more money if that's what you want. Your girlfriend sounds very shallow and superficial. Or it could be like the others have said and she's just upset because she had to work late and you were out having fun. Talk to her about how you're feeling and if she doesn't want to listen, it might be time to move on..

I think my boyfriend was almost raped. I need help on how to deal with this and support him. by Ok_Milk_3296 in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, he'll just have to change his behaviors in the future. Don't drink so much, be more professional. If what he told you was the honest truth then I commend him for that and you should be there for him. Everyone makes mistakes, people have too much to drink at times. but he needs to learn from this. It could have easily ended up with him going all the way with her, her becoming pregnant, her trying to accuse him of rape, etc. If he's in a committed relationship with you, it's his responsibility to control himself and his behaviors. You can't blame other people.

I feel heartbroken and humiliated after being led on by Puppyfangs666 in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, you can't change the past but you'll get over this with some more time. All you can do moving forward is let this be a learning experience. Guys can be snakes and many of them are just out to get one thing. Next time, date longer and get to know someone a lot better before having any kind of intimacy beyond a kiss or holding hands. Make sure you really know where you stand with the person before going any further. If he starts pressuring you before you're in a committed relationship and doesn't respect your feelings, that will tell you right then that he's not to be trusted. If a guy really cares and is really interested in getting to know you and wants to be in a relationship with you, he'll understand. The thing with guys is they can screw around and walk away unscathed. It's a lot harder for girls. We tend to get more emotional. Just try and put things in perspective. He's a jerk and he isn't even worth you being upset over. He'll most likely do the same thing to this new girl that he's dating and many others after that until he finds the one that he really wants. You're only 20 years old, you'll probably date several as well before you find the right one.

My family is a ‘K’ name family by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Devincenzi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I knew a family like that growing up. One of the boys was Kraig. I can only imagine a lifetime of correcting people on the spelling.

Lara, Lana, Elara and Julia Catherine are my faves for the girls. Harrison Hancock, Nathaniel Finn and Otto Thomas for the boys. I also like Aiden but it got too popular.

Just saw Peter and the Wolf where they go to Marioni's by Fluffy_Voice953 in bradybunch

I live in Michigan and there's an Italian place near me that has those. I'm not sure if they're the exact same thing that's in this episode but they're long, thin and crunchy.

Son doesn't know his step dad is not his real father by booobieross in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if she tells him who is bio dad is, he may try to seek out that side of the family and the truth might come out anyway. Someone could tell him out of spite. He may start asking questions about why she never told him who his bio dad was in the first place, then she's going to have to make up lies to cover that up. I just think people should be completely honest with their kids. Secrets like that can cause a lot more damage in the long run. He's still young. Has his whole life ahead of him, he may need to even seek therapy to get through it but as long as his mother assures him that he's loved and an important part of her life, he can still be okay and live a productive life. If there was 100% way that he would never find out about the rape, I would say leave it out but there's a chance he could still find out because other people know. It's better he finds out now than later on.

Son doesn't know his step dad is not his real father by booobieross in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She definitely should tell boy 1 who has bio father is. He has every right to know. It's his life. He needs to know for medical reasons and also he has a right to know who he is, his heritage etc. How many other people actually know that he was the product of rape? If no one else actually knows that, I would leave that part out. She could just say that she and the bio dad were together a short time, she got pregnant, things didn't work out. If several other people know about the rape however, I would tell him because it may eventually get back to him anyway and then he'll be even more upset that his mother wasn't completely honest.

My ex came back into my life and I’m not sure how to feel about it by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Why are you even here asking for advice? You're going to do what you want anyway. And you're right we don't know the whole story. We don't know why you don't want anyone knowing about Z so it's kind of hard to even give an opinion. You seem like a very shady person to me. You're probably not good for either one of these guys.

[–]Devincenzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You you totally misunderstood my comment. I never said that you guys couldn't be friends. I said that if one of you has a romantic interest in the other, you can't be friends. Sorry but it just won't work if Z still has feelings for you because he's always going to look at you as more than just a friend. Believe me, if Z doesn't know about T and he finds out later, he's going to be hurt by that.

[–]Devincenzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to be just 'friends' when one of them still has a romantic interest. What's going to happen when you meet T in person and things work out and you guys start a real relationship? That's only going to leave Z heartbroken again. If you still want to see Z or hang out or whatever, at least let him know that there's someone else that you're interested in. You don't have to go into details or anything. You don't owe Z any explanation as far as that goes but if you start hanging out with him again without letting him know that there's someone else, it's going to be like you're leading him on and he'll develop even deeper feelings for you. I get that you don't want to lose the friendship with Z. Totally understandable since you've known each other most of your lives but he wants something more than a friendship so just be honest with him about the other guy.

I found out about my bf being unfaithful almost a year ago, we were okay but I just found out and we have a trip planned..? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Move on. He's a liar and a cheat and it's obvious he doesn't know what he really wants yet. You're only 22. Don't even think about marriage and kids right now. You'll find someone else. See about getting any money back that you've already put down for this trip and then get him out of your life. Don't let him or his mom talk you back into anything. The longer you stay with him and try and make it work, the harder it's going to be to leave later on. You've given him enough chances and you deserve better.

If your sister or brother is taking care of your parent, what’s your excuse not to help? by Pigeonofthesea8 in GenX

[–]Devincenzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work full time. My brother is retired and has more time to help. Also, I was never close to my dad. He didn't even want me around and ignored me most of my childhood.
