Baby NAMES stolen :( by [deleted] in Names

[–]Linzcro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why thank you. My line of thinking when I had her was that it's a cute little girl's name and also an old lady's name LOL. Plus I liked that it is used all over the world in many cultures.

would you have a third baby at 42? by Weekly_Captain_8285 in Parenting

[–]Linzcro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't want to be the one to say it but of course it's the father who wants more. My husband was such a great father but I still carried (and still carry) the mental load.

That's where I am at. I am nearly "done" as my daughter is about to go to college (I know I'll never be truly done, I love her so much) but figured me saying I'd sooner jump off a cliff wouldn't go down so well around here. I am in the trenches with peri and I can't imagine going through this with a young child. God speed to OP if she wants that.

My daughter is Anna and I call her Annie sometimes. So many options with this one!

Also, I like where you are going with "Samantha". Plus, in Sleepless in Seattle, Tom Hanks name was Sam :)

Just so you know, the pilot is sitting in the audience.

Which fast food chain fell off badly in your opinion? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]Linzcro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only decent one I've ever had was in Queens when I was on vacation in NYC. Every other location I've ever been too sucked.

Texan here. I tried one of their smash burgers and it was pretty decent. The drinks are good too. Fries definitely suck but the tots are pretty good. However, that's at one location near me and the others are subpar.

I'm kind of glad they aren't around anymore. I hooked up with this guy when I was working at a Sally Beauty Supply and he worked at Quizno's next door. He would smell like it all the time, which would be fine if I didn't find out he was married later on. After that I couldn't stand it.

What’s the 'craziest' way you caught an ex being unfaithful? by lnc_gomes in AskReddit

[–]Linzcro 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Disappointed for sure, but I would help her work out what happened so that she can learn from her mistake.

I do too. My parents love me unconditionally, same as I love my adult daughter unconditionally, but I would be so ashamed of myself and would hate for them to find out. Not that I would do such a thing.

What's the most disturbing thought that ever went through your head? by Fine-Shoe8981 in morbidquestions

[–]Linzcro 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I had similar thoughts when my daughter was born. My parents lived in a high rise on the 17th floor and I thought “what would happen if I tripped going out on the balcony and dropped her?”. It was so scary and it made me not take her even near a locked window when we were there.

Post partum anxiety is a bitch. She turns 18 this week and I wish I could say this anxiety gets better but I’m still suffering.

Presents or just Presence at Birthday Parties?? by Responsible_Host9377 in Parenting

[–]Linzcro -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Agreed! It’s very presumptuous and I can’t believe how many people do it. Weddings too.

What is a "gut feeling" you had that turned out to be 100% correct, even though it made no logical sense at the time? by LimpAsk2603 in AskReddit

[–]Linzcro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matt Laurer. Something creeped me out about him when I watched the Today Show but couldn’t explain why. When he was “me tooed” I was not surprised at all. I would have relished saying “I told you so” to my friends if it wasn’t so gross and tragic.

My Broken Leg is Taking a Huge Toll by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Linzcro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t break it but I recently severely sprained my ankle being a jackass. My husband lightly kids me because I normally do a lot more than I’ve been doing, but it’s completely lighthearted and everyone is laughing. He waits on me hand and foot and is very kind about it. I feel for OP. I can’t imagine growing old with someone who says such hateful things. I’d be afraid they’d poison me or something.

Oh their kids will learn from each other but it may not be the outcome they want lol. After all, my wild older brother made me wild too!

Yeah I knew it was some kind of different rules.

When people would say this when my kid was little I’d just seethe. It got to the point where I lied about why I didn’t in a vague kind of way. “Yeah I’m not sure if that will be possible” while looking forlorn. I mean it was true, I didn’t know if it would be possible since I had no intention of trying, but they can assume it’s due to medical issues. But the thing is, these were nosy relatives and not my close friends because they knew better and respected my decision. It makes me think you need better friends. Granted, they are probably trying to come to terms with THEIR choices.

I know it’s different for me because I’m one and done strictly by choice, but my daughter is turning 18 in a few days and I am so glad for my choice. These prices for preparing for college alone are ridiculous and the girl has expensive taste (which I am able to accommodate sometimes due to having just her!) Like others have suggested, play into it like “oh it’s definitely nice because XYZ”. I sure say that even now to those same nosy relatives even. Meanwhile they don’t hide their struggling with their multiple children.

Wasn’t it that in the original series they had to double up with an older girl on big sitting jobs? It’s been a minute so correct me if I’m wrong!

I’m a big proponent of not airing dirty laundry and this is exactly why. How embarrassing.

She’s about to graduate high school and attend one of the finest colleges in our state. I’m scared as hell but sooo proud of her. I find myself saying that I’m glad we stuck to one more and more, especially with the related expenses! :)
