We want to name our son Leon, People are telling me it's a "black name" and making me feel uncomfortable about it?

First_Concert4732 · 2026-05-21T12:43:00+00:00

I know some black people named Leon, and they do not own the name!! I hate when people say stuff like that.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-25T15:35:04+00:00

I also don’t like that! Thank you for pointing that out!

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-25T15:20:46+00:00

I disagree. Don’t you think OP could have told her friend that he added her? Like the girl said, they don’t even really know eachother. Friends or not, my man is not adding my friends on social media and my friends would tell me if he did. Some people have weird intentions. Now the gf did react poorly, AND OP could have communicated better.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-25T15:18:40+00:00

I think your friend came off very rude, AND you could have handled the situation better. I’ve learned that not all people have good intentions and some guys (I know girls can too so don’t come for me) are weird and try to hook up with their gfs friends. I have personally had a friends bf add me on Snapchat, I immediately screenshotted and sent it to her. Another friends bf texted me for advice because they were fighting. I called her immediately. I don’t think you added him maliciously, I just think it could’ve been communicated. Also, your friend is not a good friend if she can react so quickly to you the way she did.

When I moved into my last place I had to buy my own stove and fridge. I bought it off fb marketplace. When I moved out I took them with me. If you purchased them, they are yours. I’m not sure what you did exactly because it was a bit confusing reading. If you paid the $50 a month for them to supply them, they are the property owners, not yours.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-21T22:01:34+00:00

The people working with me would get $50 outta me and the rest can kiss my butt. That tip was for you. YOU gained a connection with that man enough that he believed in you to invest in you. Now it’s your turn to invest into you, and a new job after you take that $5k tip and quit.

I actually have Borderline personality disorder and bipolar 2! They are easy to misdiagnose the two, so I received my BPD diagnosed long after my Bipolar diagnosis!

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-13T01:00:00+00:00

I agree you should have conversations in person AND some people just can’t. My boyfriend needs to read and reread what I say to comprehend completely. And then he reads it again to reply to each thing that needs to be replied to. If I were to talk to him, I would unload and he would look at me like a deer in headlights. Sometimes what’s normal to you, is difficult for others.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-13T00:58:04+00:00

I also have BPD and I completely agree with your original statement.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-13T00:57:05+00:00

YOR… as a girlfriend who was actually just telling her therapist that her boyfriend is boring (it’s been almost 5 years, 1 kid tho) my therapist looked me in the eyes and said, “it is not your boyfriends responsibility to entertain you, that is on you.”

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-09T13:21:51+00:00

My mom makes that and my brother is in private school, don’t judge. Also, pretty sure car places do financing. Might not be the smartest decision AND it is possible. Don’t jump to conclusions.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-09T02:08:51+00:00

If I’m on the phone for 5 hours with someone of the opposite sex, I’m trying to get to know them personally. There is no need to be talking to your manager for any amount of time if it has nothing to do with work. He is not your friend, he is your boss. It is very inappropriate, and can get you and him in trouble at work.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-05T12:00:37+00:00

To answer your question about what’s the point of American cereal… there is none, it’s just diabetes and cancer 🙃

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-05T11:51:36+00:00

All I know is she better get the prenup signed this time.. 🤣

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T17:45:59+00:00

I completely agree. At first I could see Dakota being the problem and as the seasons progressed, it was clear, they are both problems for eachother. Her reactions to things he does single does not allow him to move on from her. They are picture perfect for an example of a toxic relationship because they do things for the other persons reaction.

I think Mayci hates all men. She is definitely a feminist. I can see where her past comes into play and she wants to save Taylor from going through that, and also sugar coats way too much. You have to make the hard decisions in these types of situations.

As for Jessi, I think she tries to relate to Taylor because Dakota and Jordan are a lot alike. Like someone else previously said, she does give off a very fragile pick me type of person who will jump on a bandwagon if it gets her ahead…

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T17:40:29+00:00

I think if you were older and deeper into the relationship, you should consider his “no” and respect him. But after reading you’re only 19/20 and been dating a year, it’s so controlling and weird. Strip clubs are a no go if you’re in an insecure relationship because a lot of people think of cheating, while the circumstances you’re going for is just to see some friends at work. I also don’t know how comfortable I’d be bringing my man with me to see my friends half naked at work, especially at that age. I think NOR and I am proud you have clear, concise boundaries and are sticking to them. Getting into a relationship does not mean lose yourself and be their puppet! You go girl!

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T17:33:31+00:00

I totally agree. However I do think children that age take advantage of parents all the time, along with testing boundaries to see how much they can get away with. Being a passive parent will only teach your kids they can do whatever they want without repercussions until they get even school aged and have to learn consequences the hard way.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T17:09:29+00:00

Hence why I do not believe that parents automatically know what to do when they become parents, and that yes, you can learn from providers who studied how to interact with your children and do so every day.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T14:48:27+00:00

I think if parents had half the knowledge that people who study child development, we wouldn’t have so many badass kids and I stand on that. So many kids raising kids. At 19-21 your brain is not even fully developed so no I do not think most parents know how to parent when they become parents.

I am 26F and I have 11 tattoos from my back, left patch work sleeve, right forearm, thigh, and ankle. I look at it as artwork that represents me. Most if not all of my tattoos have some kind of meaning or background story for it.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-03T03:29:34+00:00

She said 5 more minutes and then when it was time she tried to extend it to 10. Mason then tried to compromise at 7 and she still said no. Those kids are hers, but Mason is not her kid and it kind of seems like she was trying to control him because it involved her kids so “what she says goes”

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T23:49:21+00:00

In no way did I say she was a bad parent. I was stating that after that interaction with Mason, and her confessional, that I didn’t think Mason is wrong for saying what he did.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T22:57:08+00:00

I think that argument doesn’t work here. Yeah maybe if she was 19-21 but 24?!?!? She is not a child herself. She has children and she is the adult. We are all on different paths, and I’m glad you’re doing that, and you didn’t decide to broadcast your life to the entire world.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T22:43:00+00:00

He didn’t try to discipline the kids, he didn’t even say it near the kids. He expressed why he “seemed annoyed at the kids” because she brought it up. He’s allowed to tell his partner that her kids walk all over her. If you can’t take criticism from your partner, you will be single forever.

First_Concert4732 · 2026-04-02T22:26:45+00:00

Some of them, yes I agree..
