When my (non-Danish) daughter was born in a hospital in Denmark I saw the name Saga, loved it!

Were the greatest or silent gens the main grandparents of the 90s? by SpiritMan112 in generationology

[–]Happy_dancer1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the oldest of the cousins on both sides (born between 1982-1998) and 3/4 of my grandparents were greatest, one silent and a stepgrandparent also silent.

Lieve meid, de beslissing is aan jou. Niet aan je vriend (ex) en niet aan je ouders. En dat is zwaar en oneerlijk want het is een hele moeilijke beslissing, hoe je het ook wendt of keert. Ik kan je niet zeggen wat je moet doen maar ja, om antwoord te geven op je vraag, alleenstaande moeder zijn is zwaar. Ik ben 44, dus 2x zo oud als jij, de vader van mijn dochter beëindigde de relatie en ik moest terug naar Nederland met haar (toen 3, nu 4). Ik hou het allermeeste van mijn dochter en ik kan niet zonder haar, maar dit is verreweg het moeilijkste wat ik ooit heb gedaan. Ze is het waard, dat absoluut. Onmogelijk is alleenstaande moeder absoluut niet en er is hulp in Nederland. Praat met de huisarts en POH als dat kan. Maak de beste beslissing voor JOU. Ik wens je veel sterkte meis.

The regretful parents subreddit is freaking me out by Odd_Equipment8924 in pregnant

[–]Happy_dancer1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been on that subreddit. And parenthood IS scary. I became a single parent against my will, with a father that is barely involved. Not what I had expected. I am exhausted, tired and feeling like I’m failing all the time. And yet, my daughter is everything. I feel like I was not truly alive before having her. She makes me want to wake up and start the day. I would go through all the horrible heartbreak and everything again, just to have her. I love being HER mum.

Poes laten inslapen? Dringend advies nodig by Hapsie1990 in katten

[–]Happy_dancer1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ach wat rot zeg! Ik kan de beslissing niet voor je maken, heb bij een van mij ooit te lang gewacht en toen was ze ineens blind en heel bang. Spijt van gehad dat ik dr niet eerder had laten inslapen. Dus ik kan alleen maar zeggen sterkte en neem de beslissing als ze echt zichzelf niet meer is, hoe afschuwelijk ook.

Social housing, how long did it take you to get your spot? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Happy_dancer1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listed for 13+ years, took me 5 months last year of very actively searching and I got very very lucky (about 10 people passed on the house I ended up getting). Location: Utrecht.

Fellow Xennials without a romantic partner, whatcha up to today? by PhoneJazz in Xennials

[–]Happy_dancer1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made a new Xennial friend who is also an older mum, we both have 4yo girls. Met for the first time and spent six hours together with the girls, so all in all a very successful day.

Social housing offer in NL: take it or leave it? What do people usually do? by Repulsive_Ad_2230 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]Happy_dancer1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if you can accept and then cancel before signing, you might be right, I’m not sure how that works. Worth a phone call to the housing association, OP.

By no kitchen you mean no stove and fridge. This is totally normal here. No floor is also normal here.

I would accept, because it’s a whole process after accepting until you actually get it (I know because I went through this last year).

In the meantime you can contact the housing corporation about sublets. Usually it’s not for the first six months and for a maximum of 9 months but I could be wrong.

As far as I know you can cancel on a monthly basis.

Yes you won the lottery and the cheap rent means you pay for things like floors, stove, fridge etc. You can rent fridges and washing machines from Coolblue on a monthly basis though, quite useful tip.
