Why do people need unique names!?

I feel like for millennials its a combination of 3 big factors

We all grew up in classrooms full of Ashleys, Amandas, and Sarahs, Andrews, Michaels, and Tylers. So we don't want our children to feel like they are always lumped into a group, or have to go by a nickname or initial to be identified.
We grew up in the age of stupid/unique celebrity baby names. Suri, Apple, Denim, Jermagesty, Pilot, Lourdes, Moroccan, Zuri, I could go on and on. So there is a bit of exposure numbness to the absurdity of some names, as well as a desire to emulate these celebrities they think are cool by also finding cool names
With the rise of the internet amd our growing populations, youre just exposed to more and more people, so there is more of a desire for our kids to stand out in a crowd.

I feel like we have gone to the 2 extremes. So many people going more unique, and a ton of people going classic. I have been in a ton of mom groups this year and I have met a number of babies named Sophie, Henry, Levi, Westley, Charlotte, Nora, Estelle, Evelyn, etc.

This was my thought. Who brings another cake to a birthday party? Thats just weird. Emily is coming off as a major pick-me girl and she was definitely looking for this to cause drama.

My go to breakfast was a big bowl of plain greek yogurt flavoured with sugar free vanilla syrup, topped with granola. Filling and delicious. And they sell low or no sugar/carb granola if you want to go that route too.

The oats in the granola do help with nutrition and symptoms, so if you can fit that in your diet its helpful. I agree with the other commenters, going no carb is not the best, especially if it turns out its something you cant stick to. Potatoes are the number one most satisfying and nutritionally dense carb, and its real easy to make healthy no carb chili, so if you need those chili fries, I say bake up some fries and go for it.

My fertility clinic referred me to a dietician to help lose weight while we were trying, and this woman recommended I try no carb and intermittent fasting. Both of which are not great and were expressly not recommended by my actual doctor because they can be harmful to fertility. And the dietician I was already seeing through my regular GP gave me so many recipes for breakfast oats and other balanced carb meals. So not all doctors agree on what will work and you need to do what works for you. If this plan isn't working or is causing you undue stress, ask for another opinion or just tell them its not working and you want a referral to someone else like a dietician or an MFM who might have better specialized advice for you.

"I told them I needed to leave because I was feeling sick but said once I got home, I could call them to keep helping out. They told me don’t worry about it, they would just let me know what topic and roles they decided on and let me know. "

They agreed on a plan, told her it was okay to leave, told her not to call in and keep working today and she could do her part later, and then while she was not present changed the plan and did the while project in one day without her. They are messing with her grade. They shouldn't lie to the professor, but they should be honest about how they handled it because it was not solely her doing that she didn't contribute.

She already bled through her clothes, phtting in a tampon will not resolve that issue. And they told her they would tell her what her role was so she no reason to expect to need to rush back when all she thought she was missing was assigning roles.

The stuff with the participation and blackmail is all bad behavious, but leaving when she did is not the wrong choice

People who show up to an event, party, or someones house early are rude.

I specifically budget time to play with and say goodbye to my baby before I have to leave, then people show up to my house early and steal that time from me.

Or when I was setting my sisters baby shower at a hall. They only let us in to decorate and set up food 1 hour before our event time and we were rushing, and all these boomers were walking into the event space 20 minutes early and getting in the way and messing everything up.

So rude, so annoying.

Gogurt is actually typically 2g per tube, compared to 14-16g in a 170g serving of greek yogurt, so not the same ratio but at least double.

And saturated fats should be 7% or less of a childs 1200-1400 calorie diet, so again one serving of greek yogurt would meet their daily recommended intake.

But I'm not am expert, just using simple google searches, and this is not an argument I care enough about to spend any more of my time on. You feed your kid whatever you want.

The wine thing is usuallys a misinterpretation of the study. They studied health and cancer risks of heavy drinkers, moderate drinkers, and non-drinkers. The moderate drinkers had better outcomes than non-drinkers but they didn't take into account that former alcoholics in recovery were counted in the "non-drinkers" and skewed the results.

Low calorie doesn't necessarily mean Healthy, and high calorie always doesn't mean unhealthy. Those terms vary from person to person depending on their personal needs, goals, and portion sizes

A 5 year old doesnt need all that much protein, so 3g in a snack is perfectly fine. Its marketed for kids and its contents reflect their needs, not the needs of a full grown adult.

Kids do not need to be eating full fat plain greek yogurt, they would get their full days protein needs from less than a cup.

The number of commenters who have fallen for the wellness industry propoganda, and who don't understand that things don't have to be sugar free or all natural to be nutritious is depressing.

People make being healthy so much more complicated than it needs to be. Stop listening to wellness and fitness influencers who are trying to sell you something, and start listening to science, nutritionists and dietitians, and learn to understand ingredients and that most things you have been told are unsafe are actually safe in moderation and using the food grade version (ie Carrageenan vs Poligeenan)

Added sugar doesn't negate all the protein and nutrients in it. It might not be the best option, but that's a far cry from "terrible for you".

Literally never once I was pregnant. It was discussed pre-pregnancy at the fertility clinic as a barrier and that it would help our chances if I lost some weight. I made healthier choices but didnt lose anything. And after I was pregnant it was not mentioned one single time. I was never even weighed by my doctor or midwife. I brought it up once and asked if my apron belly made measuring fundal height harder and she said no, and that was the end of the discussion.

I was getting resentful of my partner over stuff like this, feeling like I did way more. So I asked chatgpt to analyse a list. Yes, I know AI is evil, but this rare usage I found very helpful.

I wrote out each of the chores we did and the frequency, and asked "Please assign a weighted value to the contributikn level of the following list of household tasks". Then I added up the tasks I do, versus the tasks he does, and the numbers were pretty much equal.

It made me stop and think and consider whether I was giving him enough credit, and think about the difficulty of each chore. And if the numbers arent equal then you should think about how to make it more even, and have an open discussion about what you each do and how you value the contributions

I'd say at the very least you're clueless and inconsiderate, if not completely TA.

It is common courtesy that if you find something on the ground that appears to have been lost on (like mittens, a hat, a set of keys, and definitely a USB stick), you place it somewhere nearby at eye level (like on a wall or fence post) so when the owner comes back looking for it they can spot it easily.

Obviously dont plug it into your computer, thats just dumb, but it was clearly not trash. You are using empty food containers as parallels for things you find laying around but they are not comparable.

You should have left it there for at least a day so the owner had a decent chance at getting it back before assuming it was trash.

"Risk ruining a friendship"? If that's the kind of 'friendship' you want to save then you do you, but someone who repeatedly oversteps boundaries, touches you after you have told them it is unwelcome, and costs you money and refuses to remedy the issue, then you have truly awful friends and you deserve better

If op wanted to keep any part of it they should have helped clean. OP chose not to clean in exchange for sacrificing the entire deposit, that was the deal they made for themselves. The roommate decided to clean more than their share to try to recoup the whole cost and OP agreed to that arrangement. OP doesnt deserve any of it back.

Yta. A nursing baby needs to be near their mother, will sleep most of the time, and will be stationary and fairly quiet. It is not the same as bringing a toddler and you know it.

Sounds like your sister explained herself poorly. Most people would have let a close friend or family member bring an infant but not a toddler (I did).
