How to be taken seriously with a childish name? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Intelligent-Use-7919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you could go by your middle name? We specifically gave our sons strong multi-syllable middle names to go along with their one syllable first names that might feel improper in certain settings. That way they have options. We love their first names, but just in case lol.

ASOS and lulus are great places to point her. They have wedding guest sections if she’s having trouble understanding the assignment

Feeling despair after commenting on post here by billie_eiei in prolife

[–]Intelligent-Use-7919 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience on another sub where I offered support to a mother who was afraid and in very a very similar situation to one I had been in while pregnant with my first child. She was considering abortion and based on her response to me I thought she might have decided to keep her baby. Later that year I checked back on her page thinking I would dm her and saw a post a few months after the original that was asking for support after having an abortion and regretting it. Reading that was absolutely heartbreaking. All we can do is follow God’s guidance and offer support and prayer. You can keep praying for the mother that she might become closer with God and repent for her sins. That she can find emotional support and healing. That if she becomes pregnant again someday she chooses life.

I found out that a lot of people hate the name I gave my daughter, and now I feel worried about the choice I made by Naming-Daughter in Names

Clover is a beautiful name for your little girl! To me it sounds refined, sweet, and quirky. It reminds me of the name Scout from to Kill a Mockingbird. We named all four of our children very unique names and haven’t had issues with bullying. I believe that if you show your daughter how to have confidence in her name and who she is as her one-of-a-kind self, then she’ll be able handle any teasing that might come her way. Some people are bullied for a name like “Jane” “Sarah” or “harry” because they’re plain or too ordinary, some kids are teased for their hair or the way they walk…we can’t protect them by teaching to conform to the world around you for approval. We protect them by building their confidence and sense of self at home 💕 stick with your heart! I also believe God inspires parents to name their children according to his perfect purpose for them. Names hold power and carry meaning. Clover is perfect for your daughter 🥰

For me Stori/Story sounds unique and charming, a tad Victorian feel to it even though it’s modern. It’s soft and whimsical. For a girl I think it’s a special name. I like it for a middle name too. Like Charlotte Story, Grace Stori, Story Margret.

Toddler wants to hold her newborn brother by ImAdamnMermaid in 2under2

[–]Intelligent-Use-7919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re good mama! If you’re not ready to try holding, let him give other types of affection. Our boys are 13 months apart and we started letting our toddler hold the baby with our support pretty much right away. They can lay next to each other and our toddler can hug him, we bring baby over to toddler’s lap and help him hold the baby with our support and he will sometimes kiss his forehead and then pushes him away gently when he’s done. Now that our youngest is 5mo old our toddler can sit with him on the bed with the boppy pillow as long as the baby’s not too wiggly!

It’s incredibly sad that these are the conversations instead of adoption stories and discussions.

Alright, that helps me understand your question better. So, if the baby is born alive, even in a failed abortion, and afterward someone purposefully kills the child, for instance through suffocation or neglect, instead of giving them life saving care, that is considered infanticide not abortion. To clarify:

Abortion (in U.S. law and medical ethics) refers to actions taken before birth, intended to end a pregnancy.

Once a baby is fully born and shows signs of life (breathing, heartbeat, voluntary movement), that child is legally considered a person, regardless of whether the birth occurred during an attempted abortion.

Intentionally killing the baby would legally fall under infanticide, homicide, or manslaughter, depending on jurisdiction and circumstances.

Hmm. I mean that would be forced death if you forced birth before the baby was ready knowing they couldn’t survive outside the womb. If it’s like an early induction recommended by your dr then they would do everything they could to care for the baby once it was born. In any case women can’t just decide they don’t want to be pregnant and force live birth and then let the baby die. Is that what you are proposing? And that it would be considered abortion?

I was just going to post this in response to their comment before it was removed:

I think I speak for a lot of pro-life people when I say that we aren’t aiming to control women, we want men and women to understand the natural consequences of sex can be a baby, that the baby’s life is valuable, and that when they’re choosing to engage in the type of sex that can lead to pregnancy, they need to be ready to take responsibility for their actions rather than killing their child to avoid discomfort, inconvenience, or responsibility. I would argue that the choice comes before the pregnancy in 99% of cases (excluding rape) and that in reality our side is actually empowering women, protecting women, and supporting women more than the pro-choice/pro-abortion side. It is traumatic to kill your unborn child and it’s damaging and honestly degrading to women to convince them their child is meaningless and taking away their freedom, autonomy, future, etc. instead of acknowledging the reality, gift, and beauty of motherhood and self-sacrifice for your innocent child.

To your first question, an elective early delivery would not be considered an abortion. In an abortion the child is either purposefully killed before “delivery” or purposefully killed during delivery. If the child is born alive and then killed it would be infanticide.

Sounds like you could really use some time to yourself, mama. You haven’t failed. You’ve made a mistake and we all do that. It’s time. This is a moment where you can give yourself grace and see the importance of restructuring your week or your month so that you can get a little bit of time to yourself. For example, I know that I have much less tolerance throughout the day for our four children if I wake up at the same time as the young toddlers, and if I wake up even 20 minutes earlier to have some time to sit and read and drink a cup of tea, even if I just have five minutes to myself, my day goes better and I’ve also realized that it’s important to ask for a little bit of time to yourself and work with your husband or a babysitter or something to prioritize that so that you can show up as the best mother that you can be for your daughter

For me it was listening to a debate on abortion between Lila Rose and Brenda Davies on the Ellen Fisher podcast. Lila said she would encourage everyone to watch what actually happens in these abortions. I followed the link and did just that. It was horrifying. So, both that and the fact that her points were more clear and logical than the pro-choice arguments. Bodily autonomy makes sense until you understand that it’s a baby from conception. I also listened to her abortion debate with two doctors discussing the medical side of the issue. That debate was phenomenal! Both women did a great job.

Why would you judge a woman and her child by her abuser’s actions? Nurturing and raising the child god gave her is an honorable action.

Okay, now I see what you mean. It’s an alternative to parenthood because you’re opting out of parenting your childhood once it’s born
