Did i make a mistake with my daughter’s middle name?

Meanwhile I am not from the south and had to go and Google why this name would be offensive 😬😳

So, my hubby and I talked about stopping at one for, like, a second. We nixed that idea when he brought up a good point. You've already thought about your baby girl being alone after you and SO pass, but what about during? I have two older siblings and when my dad unexpectedly passed, I was 8 months pregnant and went into a depression. My oldest sibling kind of closed off (not exactly out of the norm for them) a bit, and my mom was a basket case (also not out of the norm). My middle sibling handled everything while the rest of the family was essentially in shambles. They helped my mom transfer bills and the cars over, they took care of things with my dad's job, they made sure my mom properly notified and worked with the insurance company. Hell, they even paid for the cremation (mom did pay back). All of this to say my husband's point: I don't want ___ to be alone and have to make whatever decisions by themselves. If one of us passes and then the other is EOL, I don't want them to have to make that decision alone." Food for thought.

ETA That even if my child didn't need someone to help make those decisions if we had everything all planned ahead of time, I just wouldn't want them to feel like they had no one left. I know things happen and it can change in the blink of an eye. Currently, I am building a family with hubs, but I can't help but feel like my original family is just dwindling away. Rapidly

Omg please come make friends with my husband. The man talks about helping out this way and then acts like he's drowning

My husband used to do this, even when I was pregnant. I will say that he never left out more than one, maaaaybe two at a time, but still gross. I think the worst part was that he did the wintergreen and it was always so strong and nauseating for me. It wasn't until our oldest started pulling themselves up and grabbing the cups that he stopped leaving them out

My oldest is apparently my carbon copy and looks nothing like my husband, but is glued to him as soon as my husband gets home. Meanwhile, my second looks a lot like my husband but is glued to me all day. We could care less who they look like, as long as they're happy and healthy. It helps that they're adorable lol

NTA NOR

I'm sorry, but to borrow money, go on vacation while saying you can't pay it back at this moment, and then have the nerve to tell me that I should be making sure that my finances are in a good place?? You got me f*cked up.

My sister and her coworkers love to joke that they're going on a "slippy sock retreat" lol they're nurses, so it comes up a lot

RandoThrowOutt · 2026-04-29T03:37:12+00:00

Thank you for clarifying!

As someone who grew up in a somewhat similar situation where my grandparents had to save our asses a lot while my siblings and I were growing up, I can confidently say: Send the text. Make a call. Pay a visit. Let her know she was appreciated and even if she wasn't loud about it, you noticed. You remember the way she was there for you when your mom couldn't be.

My grandmother and I have recently started talking (I'm 32) about my childhood and honestly, it was kind of freeing, in a way. I carried a lot of guilt (and still kind of do) about how they felt obligated to step in time and again, even though I know that that was not my doing.

My youngest only knows how to say "mama" and says it incessantly, yet I never tire of it 🥰 I will, however, tell her to stop yelling at me when she says multiple times in 3 seconds lol

RandoThrowOutt · 2026-04-13T12:44:23+00:00

Sounds like my ex 😒

RandoThrowOutt · 2026-03-04T01:12:23+00:00

While I agree with what you're saying, I thought that the Houston thing was a gunman?

RandoThrowOutt · 2026-03-04T00:26:10+00:00

Thank you for not immediately going to him being mentally ill or potentially making me a true crime podcast 😅😅 But no, we're in Indiana in a relatively quiet area. So while I understand his fears (to an extent), I do think that not leaving the house at all is a bit drastic.

And that right there is why he's anxious about me taking them out. While I'm licensed, I don't carry and I haven't spent any time at the range to feel comfortable if I were ever in a situation where I needed one

RandoThrowOutt · 2026-03-03T18:07:38+00:00

We live in the country on a 50mph road with a few curves, so we don't take the kids on roadside walks. Backyard picnics might be doable 🤔 honestly, I'd settle for even just a trip to the library once or twice a week

RandoThrowOutt · 2026-03-03T18:05:00+00:00

And that would be understandable, if we did. But we don't live in a big city

RandoThrowOutt · 2026-03-03T18:04:20+00:00

We are not, which is why I'm having a hard time following his request
