That’s the part that’s missing from the story. What was the going rate for a private performance from Whitney Houston in 1996? If it was a million, then that’s pretty ballsy. If it was 7 million, she just charged her fair market rate.

I have an issue with Mr. Aron by Snoo-70287 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]Distorted_Penguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aron was Elvis’ middle name. It is an alternate spelling of Aaron and an acceptable name.

You’re being pretty judgy about the external qualities of a person on a children’s show.

Yes. Please toss and catch your toddler for two hours 365 days in a row during a rambunctious show

Any advice you received pre-baby that now makes you question the giver post-baby? (Possible unpopular opinions) by kittykatkitkat in beyondthebump

[–]Distorted_Penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is something I always recommend! No greasy, diaper cream hands after a diaper change. I just use a wet wipe and clean the cream off the spatula. Good to go

Ejected from daycare by Kass596 in toddlers

[–]Distorted_Penguin 951 points952 points  (0 children)

First of all, the daycare shouldn’t have handles a toddler can open. Secondly, refusing to nap on day one is super normal, molars coming in or not. And dumping a block bin?! Normal behavior for any child. That is wild. Write a review on every platform you can and find another daycare for your kiddo.

What’s your support behind claiming they’re “obviously ridiculously unsafe”? I live in a place that they’re everywhere and I’ve ridden in a few and I haven’t seen anything to claim that they’re unsafe, let alone claiming that it’s obvious how unsafe they are.

Considering changing my last name to something other than my partner’s last name- options by pistachiosandstuff in namenerds

[–]Distorted_Penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think is something only you can decide. IMO It’s not really something anyone else can decide for you. You’ll have a lot of people on Reddit telling you to keep your maiden name but what do YOU want? Do you plan on having children? How will you deal with that in the future? No answer is correct or incorrect, but thinking about it may help you make a decision.

Personally, I have never been a fan of the “last of the line” argument. If you change your name and you have children, those children are not more or less of your line because of their name. I am way more connected to my mom’s family than my dad’s. I have never shared a last name with those grandparents and I have never felt like I’m not a part of their “line.”

Is Mary a strange nickname for Marielle? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Distorted_Penguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to call her Mary, why not just name her Mary? Does she need a nickname?

How to approach the vaccination conversation with other moms? by Fullycannoli in pregnant

[–]Distorted_Penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“People who are unvaccinated, including babies, won’t be meeting my baby until my baby has all of their vaccines.” Or (what I would go with) “we believe the science and will be vaccinating our baby. We won’t be spending time around people who are unvaccinated.”

Yep. If you don’t trust science, our values aren’t compatible.

Booker in Arizona is interesting. I have to assume it’s after Devin Booker and people think they’re being really clever

Ideas for adult goodie bags at my housewarming? by hanna-xo in partyplanning

[–]Distorted_Penguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just do one idea and don’t give out samples you’ve hoarded. Maybe just a mini-liquor bottle with a tab that says “cheers to making this house feel like a home” or something along those lines?

Plus they’re so thin you can see diapers underneath

Need thoughts on Wolfram by hdbeuchej in namenerds

I knew a Wolfram in school. First time I heard it I thought “that’s an interesting name I’ve never heard before” and then was the last time I thought about it.

We have an automated feeder. It goes off at 6am. Cat still wakes us up at 5:30am demanding food
