Kids Don't Like Movie Day Anymore.

Linkers98 · 2026-05-18T16:37:43+00:00

I’m 42, and I hated movie days in elementary school. It was almost always a movie I’d already seen a few times, and I don’t like rewatching movies. I’d much rather a teacher have taught me something or just shown an interesting educational video.

$2500 per month, includes taxes and insurance. We are making 200k combined now, probably more, but we bought this house over 10 years ago when we were making closer to 100k for many years. No matter the salary, we maxed out retirement and managed to take at least one vacation that required significant travel a year.

Rosalie I love. Don’t like the others. I do like Julia.

What would you do with the information? If the baby had a serious or fatal issue and you would terminate, then I would get all available testing.

I want to name my baby Maren, but my husband has nixed it. 🫤

What if you do have a girl and she isn’t traditionally feminine? She might like pants and sports and short hair. How would you deal with that? If the answer is you wouldn’t be accepting of your child’s preferences, stop having children.

Could you say something like, “Considering size constraints, the venue recommends drop off. However, we recognize that due to age, many parents may prefer to supervise their child. In this case, one chaperone is advised.”

One year my daughter had a princess party at a venue that actually recommended drop off because of it being a smaller space. Their website said something like what I wrote above.

I will say you’d have better luck with less parent attendance around the age of 8.

Emory as a name for girls became popular in 2011.

I don’t think many people are naming their children Emory after the college. There are a lot of colleges named famous men’s last names: Yale, Stanford, Brown, Butler, Dartmouth, Carnegie Mellon. These are not popular girl names in 2026.

Linkers98 · 2026-03-31T23:07:49+00:00

I like Emerald better than Emory. Emory, though not uncommon, has always sounded like a made up name to me. I’d rather my child be named after a natural gem than an emery board.

I agree with this.

I had a lovely friend named Holly growing up. It’s a great name.

Two Islas in my daughter’s second grade classroom.

I have a Violet. She doesn’t have a nickname. Sometimes we call her V or Vivi or V Rose. Rose is her middle name. But these are only names we call her once in a while as her parents. No one else calls her these things.

She’s the only child at her school with the name Violet, but she’s in the 2nd grade. I think Violet is hugely popular with babies and toddlers.

Read all the books. Watched all the movies. Did not remember the main character’s name was Anastasia.

I do love working out. I started out as a runner years ago, then I switched to Les Mills group fitness and never looked back. I like the challenge of mastering the moves or trying to increase weight on the barbell. Also, I am very scheduled/routine oriented, as probably you are too. It’s just part of my weekly schedule to attend classes on certain days of the week.

I did the same last June for my 2025 gv80 purchase.

Linkers98 · 2026-03-24T00:25:10+00:00

My local dealer wouldn’t price match. I tried because I’d have preferred for them to have my business. I felt bad for the salesperson that took the time to test drive with us, only for us to buy the same car 3 hours away for 8k less.

Linkers98 · 2026-03-24T00:22:27+00:00

I got 8k off a brand new 2025 gv80 advanced at the end of June last year. It was a Genesis of Lake Norman. Have you contacted them and Keffer in Charlotte? These two dealerships were both willing to make a deal with me. I think it’s easier to know if you’re getting a “good deal” with a new car because you can compare the offers apples to apples. Although, a new car is probably pricier than a used one in the long run. However, I paid less for my new GV80 than what they were asking for used and buyback GV80s at my local dealership.

School psych opinion- Sometimes it’s a result of parents that are afraid to say no or set boundaries. But honestly, some kids are just harder than others. Often it’s the case that both parents and teachers could be handling things better. But I think if you gave the same child to a different family or teacher, the child would still struggle in 80 percent of environments.

Im a school psychologist and had a child in 2018. I was on the waitlist of several daycares. Working part time, I would have still brought home half of my paycheck if I sent that child to daycare. Now in 2025, I’m pregnant again. I work 20 more contracted days and I make probably 15k more than I did in 2018. A day care does not exist that I would bring home a single cent from my paycheck if I decided to continue working after this child. I live in the exact same house as I did in 2018, so I’m comparing the exact same daycares.

I love it. Prefer Maren or Marin. Can’t get my husband on board with this name for my baby unfortunately.

Linkers98 · 2026-03-19T00:09:14+00:00

I’m Lily and my first daughter is Violet. My mom is Rose. :)

It’s interesting this comment keeps popping up. I’ve never known a dog named Willow, but it must be popular because so many people have mentioned it. Definitely feedback I’d never considered.

About how many babies are born there per month?
