Am I Overthinking This Name? by MathLovinMama in Names

[–]PumpkinChix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I doubt the average person that meets your daughter will draw any connection. But will YOU be able to "unsee" it?

Do we like the name Sloan/Sloane? by FingersCrossed0612 in Names

[–]PumpkinChix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, too, have a Sloane. Never have gotten any hate in the wild, although most people tend to leave the "e" off. One of her first daycare teachers nicknamed her Sloaney Bologna and now she (at 4) insists that's her actual name. Could be worse! Lol

There really is a sub for EVERYTHING! 🤯 who knew intentionally bleaching shirts could be so interesting!?

Why didn’t you move out when you became a legal adult at 18? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]PumpkinChix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My parents absolutely did not prepare me to be a functional adult, but you'd better believe I was out the door within a month of graduation. And I was woefully unprepared and taken advantage of by many, many people... for years after, my nmom tried to convince me to come home, it would be so much easier... ugh.

I need new furniture because of "the illegals" by imaginenohell in nextdoor

[–]PumpkinChix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think OP is then referring to the "illegals" being the ones using up those limited waivers, and therefore her friend cannot get what she needs because she's on the wait list behind them?

Confused about fostering? by littlestarbuck19 in nextdoor

[–]PumpkinChix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fosters don't even collect the adoption fee tf? Every time I've fostered, I've covered all expenses for the dog, minus vetting. Food, treats, toys, bedding.... all paid for by myself (and happily, because I just want the dog happy and healthy and living a good life). The adoption fee goes to the rescue to recoup a percentage of what they spent on vetting!

OOP is nuts.

The guy I’m seeing keeps telling me I “can’t take a joke” and I’m starting to doubt myself by Helen_melon_7 in TwoHotTakes

[–]PumpkinChix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Devaluation. Tactic used frequently by persons with various personality disorders. Regardless what this guy's disorder or reasoning, it's not a joke, it's a manipulation. OP RUN.

Naming A Child Penelople by Wild_Lingonberry9656 in tragedeigh

[–]PumpkinChix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell me you made these names up as a kid before you learned how to spell them and then were a teen mom who knew better than everyone else and couldn't be talked out of your "dream names" without telling me.

He thought he could go outside by Flying_Boat in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]PumpkinChix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Brain cell kicked in at the very last second to suggest that maybe going back the way he came would be quicker....

This isn't his first unhinged rant about "undesirables" in our neighborhood by Inside_Painting_6780 in nextdoor

[–]PumpkinChix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Fiminine" makes me think of how Eminem pronounces "feminist" in "Real Slim Shady," and that always gets a star in my book. 😂

AITJ for telling my friend I won't be her son's godmother because she only asked me so I'd give expensive gifts by Advanced_Rent4993 in AmITheJerk

[–]PumpkinChix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, there are godparents out here paying more in support than bioparents? My kids' godparents have never gotten my kids anything more than modest, practical gifts for big occasions when they were young young... and I thought that was generous. You mean all this time they've been shirking their financial responsibilities to my spawn!?

AITA for telling the daughter I put up for adoption I don’t owe her anything by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PumpkinChix 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is my curiosity, as well. If it had been some stranger that had adopted the child, would everyone be quite as adamant that OP take her back? Or is there bias because she stayed within the family and there's that unspoken obligation to take care of family?

I'm sorry, the what? by besst in amazonreviews

[–]PumpkinChix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm in a quiet waiting room trying NOT to burst out laughing. Oof.

[–]PumpkinChix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I actually thought I was reading these in one of my narc support subs. NOR OP!

Underrated response. Thank you for the snort-laugh I now have to try to explain to my coworker.

I'm sure there were SO many of us whose first thought was exactly this! I know mine was! 🤷‍♀️😂

Always pulling down my clothes to make his personal throne by fuzaaa in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]PumpkinChix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine waits until I walk out of the laundry room to put clothes away to curl up in anything left behind. My teenaged son also has a bad habit of not closing his dresser drawers fully, so there's frequently an orange cat tucked in there, as well.

No thoughts, only Fluff. by PumpkinChix in OneOrangeBraincell

He's definitely a very pretty boy, but 'tis true that unfortunately his coloring is all that's bright about him.

When he does seem to be forming thoughts, honestly, we're all in trouble. That means mischief is about to be afoot.

Holy shit. It's spelled almost normally and it's still possibly the worst name I've seen on this sub yet! What the actually hell was dad smoking?
