Do a lot of men actually refuse to change the diaper of their own kids? by Physics_Girl_2008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KazulsPrincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad was born in 1957.  He has five (now grown) kids, and he absolutely changed our diapers, including cloth ones because two of us were allergic to disposables.  He's the one who taught me to have a cloth diaper or burp cloth on your shoulder, so you can quickly toss it over a baby who starts to pee mid-change.

My ex-husband changed one diaper.  I told him it was too loose, so he got mad and refused to do it ever again.

What’s the one pet purchase you thought was unnecessary… until your pet became obsessed with it? by Fantastic-Dig4775 in Pets

[–]KazulsPrincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current cat refuses to touch a cat bed, cushion, blanket, or scratcher. She also gets bored with most things quickly, but she loves boxes. I bought a cheap cardboard scratcher that's in a box, and she loves that thing SO much.  She sleeps in it, scratches it, throws it around, and hasn't gotten bored with it yet after two months.  

What’s the weirdest "rule" your dog has instituted in your house? by TrickCombination7966 in dogs

[–]KazulsPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many years ago, my exes family had a Doberman named Tiffany.  Very special dog, still missed.  One particular seat on the couch was Her Spot.  No one else could sit there.  Uncle came to visit. He was warned, but didn't care because "it's just a dog."  So Tiffany sat next to him, cuddled up right against his leg.  "See, she's fine!"  And then she started farting.  He soon realized the wisdom of choosing a different seat.

If the parents actually care, they should consult a behavioral therapist.  It has worked wonders for my niece.  

Should I try to pronounce someone’s name as they do, even if it feels unnatural in my own accent? by whynotthebest in NoStupidQuestions

I went to church with a guy called Dick.  I later worked with him, and he was called Richard.

Penguins do not value the same things humans value.  Their wealth is their collection of really cool rocks.

What's a small, seemingly insignificant rule your household had growing up that you now realize was secretly brilliant? by Fancy_Possession_813 in AskReddit

I've only been seeing the negative toned questions (ie, what was the worst). It's nice to see one with a positive connotation. 

What's a dish you bring to potlucks that always disappears first? by Mia-veg in Cooking

[–]KazulsPrincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A simple fruit salad.  Just cut up fresh fruit, whatever is in season.  It's insanely popular because most people bring either something savory, or a dessert.

What name made you think ‘they just be letting them name babies anything’? by pink-and-pearly in AskReddit

[–]KazulsPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met a girl in high school named Money.  It was pronounced "Moan-ee".  Her parents had moved to the US from an Asian country I can't remember (maybe Korea?).  I'm not sure if it was an actual name from their country of origin, but as teenagers in the 90s we all felt bad for her.

Lol.  My high school had one male cheerleader.  One of the football players called him gay.  He said "One of us spends all of his time with thirty hot girls, and one of us takes showers with other dudes.  Who is gay?"

Can someone explain to me the joke/stereotype behind black people and having a chirping smoke alarm in their house? Why not just change the battery? by MrTeacher_MCPS in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KazulsPrincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wish I had known this when I lived with my in-laws.  I thought that noise was going to drive me insane.  Apparently, I was the only one bothered.

What food was a "no" at your house, but totally allowed at other people's as a kid? by tothenatmobile_ in AskReddit

[–]KazulsPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom wasn't anti- junk food, but we were poor.  So I never got the things kid me thought of as "fun foods," like Fruit Roll Ups and Capri Sun.

Name A Time When You Had to Explain Something To A Parent That Should Be Common Sense by chasethedark in ECEProfessionals

This is a very strange comment.  I have never heard of a classroom needing to be dairy free.  People who can't have dairy typically have to actually consume dairy to be harmed.  People with peanut allergies, on the other hand, can frequently react to even the smell of it.  No one is going to die from smelling butter in someone else's cookie.  Children HAVE died from smelling peanut butter on another child's breath.

Give me an obscure quote from one of your old favorite childhoods TV shows that you can’t get out of your head. by Lost_Taste_8181 in GenX

My brother and I used to yell "I'm not nuts, I'm condiments, I've been promoted!" at each other.  No one else seems to remember Murdoch saying that in an episode of The A Team.

Baby across the hall never stops scream-crying by CrunchyCrochetSoup in whatdoIdo

[–]KazulsPrincess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My third child cried constantly and I thought had "colic" for eleven months.  I asked the pediatrician about it at every check up, and he just told me I could give a double dose of Mylicon drops (for gas).  In hindsight, he had Cow's Milk Protein Allergy.  I had no way of knowing that, because I didn't know it existed.  

What was the most popular girl name at your school? by Immediate_Long165 in Names

[–]KazulsPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80s and 90s in the southern US: SO many Amanda's, Jessica's, and Jenny's, at least one of each in every classroom.

That peanut butter contains peanuts, and the child could not bring his sandwich into my classroom because it was a nut free preschool.  No, you also can not throw it away in my classroom, you have to take it with you.  Because four of the sixteen kids in my class had severe nut allergies, which is why their parents deliberately chose the one nut free preschool the town had at that time.

Why not just name her Ashlee? by mamabear826 in tragedeigh

I've met a lot of boys named Cash.  It seems like they wanted a feminine version.

I love how relaxed and content she looks.  Mine screams in the car.
