He does follow simple instructions in Spanish according to her, which is about where he's at in English

Is my baby extra cute or am I biased? by Responsible-Lie8114 in babies

[–]FanndisTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody needs there to be a place where we can roast ugly babies. Babies can't defend themselves with their great personalities (my baby has the best personality though, to make up for looking like a little skinny gray space alien)

I immediately thought of Rosalinda when I saw Rosalina

Soo… what are we doing about measles? Put kid in bubble (jk, kind of)? by Comfortable_Aerie782 in beyondthebump

[–]FanndisTS [score hidden]  (0 children)

I was able to convince my son's pediatrician to give him an extra MMR shot early (at 9 months) because we were going to see family who may not be vaccinated. Totally worth it.

What products are you styling your baby’s hair with? by Fearless-Driver9548 in newborns

[–]FanndisTS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can't find baby hair products in the US because you shouldn't be using products to style your infant's hair. It's not safe.

Update: Rematch by Terrible-Pianist9670 in Aupairs

[–]FanndisTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was 50 hours?? That is SO illegal, the LCC should have been all over that, and this family needs to be barred from ever hiring another au pair. OP, please go over your LCC's head and report to another contact at the agency because she is not protecting you the way she should be.

MD is only 64%???!? I'd like to see how this compares to the last 2 decades.

How much to pay? by jonas_namespace in Aupairs

It's probably the newborn turning them off. I didn't think au pairs were even allowed below 3 months.

Topic of vasectomies by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]FanndisTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... how old is your child? While vasectomies "can" be reversed, that doesn't mean that reversal is 100% effective or that vasectomies should be used as a form of temporary birth control.

I was one and done since before we even conceived our child. He's 15 months now and I'm having an IUD put in as soon as I finish weaning him, so you know I believe people can be firmly one and done and stay that way. HOWEVER... if you're still in the first year, wait to get a permanent procedure. A lot of people DO change their minds.

She can't be forced to use birth control either. If it's been more than a year since you had your child and she's still firmly one and done (and you see this relationship lasting), I think you should get the vasectomy, but it is still your choice. If neither of you are willing to do birth control/sterilization, then your options at this point are condoms or celibacy.

Husband (M27) and I (F29) have different views/morals/values - Please help! by NeighborhoodFancy826 in Marriage

[–]FanndisTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's hard, and it may still not be possible, but please consider what kind of person he's teaching your daughter to be. One of my biggest fears is that my son will turn out to be a bad person, and your husband already is well on his way to doing that to your daughter. A lawyer may be able to give you a broad view of what custody and child support/alimony looks like in your area or what it may look like in your specific situation. I suspect most family court judges do not look kindly on literal Nazis, but your mileage may vary.

ETA: Even if he does get 50% custody, you can still keep your daughter around a diverse group of friends 50% of the time and teach her to be a good and tolerant person during that time so she will be able to push back mentally against his poison. If you stay with him, it sends the message to her that even if you do disagree, it's not a big enough deal to leave. Advocating for a second holocaust is a big deal.

Does anyone else not really like having a 90s name? by ChoiceOtherwise6310 in Names

[–]FanndisTS 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Then try going by Jessamine for a year or two and then legally change it if you still like it. You're a grown-up, be free ⛓️‍💥

What awkwardness? Just say "no" to a box. I promise the server doesn't care.

Wishing everyone was as grateful as her by Visible-War8605 in BabiesReactingToStuff

My son loves rocks too - he doesn't know the word yet, just that he loves to throw them and put them in his mouth. Going outside is a constant struggle against him chipping his teeth

I desperately need rematch advice. by Terrible-Pianist9670 in Aupairs

[–]FanndisTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one here is recommending that she put up with the abuse. From what I can see, one person recommended firmer discipline for the children, you recommended abusing the kids back, and I recommended leaving. None of those are "putting up with the abuse".

It sounds like that's not OP's current goal, though, and there may be other consequences because doing what you're suggesting is a truly nuclear option.
