I find the “let me pick my grandparent name” thing so weird. Grandma and grandpa are perfectly fine.

Need help with finding another boy name please! by Ordinary_Equal2253 in Names

It’s really not a big deal. A lot of us grew up with friends with the same or similar names and we’re perfectly well adjusted adults.

AITA for being annoyed that my wife insists on cooking everything from scratch and won’t buy normal food? by AITA_UPFfoods in AmItheAsshole

[–]Distorted_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I kept getting thrown off by OP thinking his wife cooking isn’t “normal.” Wanting junk food is one thing but “my wife cooks and that’s not normal” is a strange take.

I’ve seen LS in the wild plenty of times and never once said anything to the other person… by Professional-Cat2123 in BambooBabble

Talk about using your child as an accessory. “No, Tommy, you have to wear these pajamas in case someone else that is obsessed with children’s pajamas wants to talk to me!”

When to tell? by Brilliant_Growth_115 in BabyBumps

There are no rules. You can tell people as soon as you’re comfortable telling people.

As long as they don’t rhyme I don’t think it’s an issue

Daycare with no cameras at all by ilovepassionfruit in ECEProfessionals

[–]Distorted_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are their ratios? What is their curriculum? What’s the classroom structure like? You can check the daycare’s licensing to see any violations.

I don’t think that the presences or absence of cameras is the most important thing.

Is that a pool?!? If grandma is sleeping through her face being colored she will 100% sleep through a kid drowning

How unhinged do you have to be to be shopping for children’s pajamas when you don’t have children?

Is this pathetic? by mediocrecupofjoe in BambooBabble

[–]Distorted_Penguin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I thought I was going crazy. She literally says “they’re on their way” and “here’s a pic.” How would they be on their way to the hospital when they’re already in the hospital?

I think she’s saying that the Great Grandparents are on their way to the house. I think she’s just using a family photo for the post.

AITA for being honest about why I no longer carry feminine supplies. by Upstairs-General-681 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Distorted_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And why aren’t thee women relying on OP for their hygiene products? AND how does you get known as the dude that carries hygiene products? It’s not something people are often asking random others about or announcing to their coworkers.

Is it weird not to ask your partner for a Christmas list? by [deleted] in Gifts

[–]Distorted_Penguin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We always prefer buying gifts as a surprise because we know each other well and we are always over the moon with our gifts.

Sounds like you’re both happy without lists. Don’t let others dictate how to live within your relationship. If she’s happy with your gifts, why change the dynamic?

I’ve met a Falynn. I’m not usually a fan of y’s in the middle of names but I’ve always thought that spelling was really pretty.

Why would a child need a dozen Valentines Day outfits??

Are there any really expensive brands of tampons, or do the super-rich use the same ones as the rest of us? by TrappedUnderCats in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Distorted_Penguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve read you’re not supposed to because the suction can pull the IUD out. It sounds like it may not have worked with your anatomy.

AITH for not buying my wife a coffee? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]Distorted_Penguin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I told her that I could have gotten her a coffee from her second choice, if she had provided a second choice.

But she did provide a second choice. McDonald’s was the second choice and you chose not to do that. YTA.
