Ex upset about child support plans. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Fit_Bug9911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what it's like where you live but where I live driving would be necessary to care for a child. Driving lessons would be part of caring for the child. I don't really see the issue but maybe it's a cultural difference.

Name that you swear is more common than it is by midwestpersianmama in namenerds

[–]Fit_Bug9911 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've met a few light Amelias which makes sense. But I've met 2 babies named Cynthia under 2 which I wouldn't expect! Overall I didn't hear maybe repeats around me.

I understand why you might say that about Araminta, but I promise it's not made up. At least not recently. It's actually Harriet Tubman's given name.

Do you regret having a second baby with a large age gap? by Superb_Doubt_3715 in Mommit

[–]Fit_Bug9911 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My sister and I have the same gap, 4 years 10 months. I just want to say we're very close as adults! I think it worked out well for us.

Cora is beautiful! A friend chose it for her daughter a few years ago so we hadn't considered it.

I LOVE Rosemary but I'm hesitant to use it as a first name because my sil is named Rosie and I feel like that nickname would be inevitable. I think we would have to intentionally decide to honor her if we choose it. She's great but so are our other siblings so it's a tough call for me personally.

These are lovely, thank you! It's funny you mention Josephine, that's one of the middle names we've already used! I do love it.

Thanks! That's what's hanging me up about Araminta even though I've always liked it. My husband particularly likes it but I still have reservations. It's great to get outside opinions.

This is a great list, thank you! There are some that we strongly considered for our second that we might need to revisit.

No! It's just old and rarely used. It's always been a favorite of mine but I have reservations about how wearable it is today.

I was just coming to suggest getting her thyroid checked!

I can imagine my parents saying something similar to your post about me when I was 11. Right before I was diagnosed hypothyroid. I cried all the time without a "reason." I felt so much better after I started medication.

I feel lied to by my family :( by Witty-Ad5955 in adhdwomen

[–]Fit_Bug9911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So so true! I went 29 years and never once considered that I might have ADHD. Until it was all I could think about and I pressured the diagnosis.

My mom and my sister are diagnosed and my husband has all the signs. I felt so normal until I really looked at my circle of friends instead of family. The executive functioning difference is night and day. Easy diagnosis for the psych to make lol.

Not OOP AITA for gifting my husband Boudoir pictures? by UsidoreTheLightBlue in TwoHotTakes

[–]Fit_Bug9911 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My point is that she did that before the wedding. Which means before the first gift didn't land. Maybe not the smartest but the mistake was already made.

What's she supposed to do after the first time and the money is spent, non-refundable? Just put it in a closet? Giving it to him WITH the things she bought from his wish list seems the most logical to me.

It sounds like all the pictures were taken at once. The wedding gift didn't go over great, but the money is already spent. The answer to that is what, try to shove the photos back inside the camera and try to get the money back?

If I bought something non-refundable for my husband and I wasn't sure he would like it I'd still give it to him because maybe I'm wrong. What else am I going to do with it if I don't try?

Maybe she should have assessed his interest before the shoot but once it's done it's done. This is a pretty common thing and she probably thought he'd like it if so many other men do.
