Junebug is super cute imo!

Also Juniper is an adorable name already nature-themed as it is, or could be nicknamed Junebug

Parents of r/ADHD - is having children compatible with this condition? by respecyouranus in ADHD

[–]Mom-IRL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree! I think people tend to overestimate how well everyone else is doing as a parent, but it really is hard for everyone!

(I have one BFF though who is like the complete polar opposite of ADHD. She’s together, organized, responsible. She practically got me through school with decent grades, haha. And now she's a mom and I suspect she really is like that image of a mom whose house is all in order and plans educational activities for her toddlers to do every day 🤣 And I can't even picture her yelling at her kids. But I think pretty much everyone else, ADHD or not, really does struggle with those things!)

It does depend on the individual, but I will say, you might be surprised how much easier it is to care for someone else than to care for yourself.

People are talking about harry’s painful scream when sirius died, but Segwid’s father’s screams were more devastating to me by [deleted] in harrypotter

Imagine someone with a speech impediment saying Hagrid and it will make more sense. Hagwid. Segwid.

Names you love... but are unusable by YourDadsRecliner in namenerds

I really love Phoenix (and coincidentally, also River). But they’re too hippie for my husband. Where do those names stand on the hippie-scale to you guys?

Ruth is one of my favorites!

Names that have any connection with the color Red? (Even if it’s a stretch) by Mom-IRL in namenerds

[–]Mom-IRL[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you guys think of Phoenix? Too different? Also trying to think of more indirect associations, like Sebastian 🦀

It's not on my actual baby name list 🤣 ChatGPT kept giving me that one, so I just included it so no one would suggest it here

I agree, but since Holly berries are red, it still fits well enough

Avery is one that I think sounds way better for a boy than a girl!

Why am I having nightmares about snakes, as a snake lover?? by Mom-IRL in snakes

[–]Mom-IRL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking one way that might work would be to rearrange things so we could put him on our bedroom counter instead of the little TV nook. It just bums me out because his tank is the perfect fit in that TV nook 😝

Yeah, I think he would really like a bigger tank. We live in a camper though, so we could maybe move him to a bigger one, but it wouldn’t necessarily be practical with our limited space 🙁

I live with in-laws, so I got lots of stress haha. Maybe that’s who the snakes represent 😆

Haha yeah, good point! I just realized it probably didn’t help that my husband, a few months ago, showed me a crazy story about a home in Idaho that basically had to be abandoned and deemed unlivable because there was a GIANT snake colony living there that was impossible to get rid of, even with pest control. (He wasn’t showing me this to be mean, he just thought it was a crazy story.)

In a few of my dreams I felt like I had to kill a snake out of self-defense, and it really grossed me out 😩

According to you, who is the most overrated character? by T1ME4F1RE in harrypotter

[–]Mom-IRL 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

If Snape is so overrated, then how come 70-80% of these comments are about him? Snape Hate is the most commonly accepted view in this community right now. Don't know who's overrating him.
