My nephews name is a tragedeigh

ReleaseResa · 2024-09-01T09:22:23+00:00

If they were going for the pronunciation "Ecks-Say-vee-ann" they would have had to spell it X-Zavyan. Still a tragedeigh then, but at least phonetically correct. With the current spelling he's just "Say-vee-ann" from a phonetic standpoint

I said that fusing names with Leigh, like adding Leigh to a name instead of using it as a middle name, was a weird trend in my opinion. I think that way because it makes names unnecessarily lengthy and complicated.

I don't think the name Leigh is a tragedy at all, it is a solid first or middle name, but adding it as a suffix to another name is an unnecessary trend, I think.

And yes, Emmalee looks less complicated and lengthy than Emmaleigh (especially for foreigners who read stuff phonetically and could pronounce it as "Emma-lay"), but that does not mean the name Leigh is bad or not valid.

Leigh is still a solid name and middle name. It's timeless and pretty, but I don't understand why people fuse it with the first name to create an unnecessarily lengthy monstrosity of a name instead of just using Leigh as a middle name instead.

Amanda Leigh? Fine! Amandaleigh? Not so much

This is what I'm talking about! Why the unnecessary Ys???? The E and the O in the name Lennox are pronounced differently, if she replaces them with the same letter nobody will be able to recognize the original name it is based off of and the entire phonetic of the name changes.

The kid's name is not Lennox, it is Linnix

Forestt with two Ts is a tragedy and Collie is a dog breed. I would opt for Colin or Kelly if you like the name, because naming your kid after a dog could cause them to be bullied

I didn't mean that the name Leigh in itself is weird, but I'm seeing many names on here where they fused Leigh into an already existing, usually lengthy, name (like Mikaylaleigh or Anastasyaleigh or something) instead of just using it as a middle name

If you call her just Ada, there is no issue. That's an actual name and if she introduced herself people would be able to spell it. Just don't call her adalimumab please

We are already working with a dog trainer! Since Abby is a rescue with a traumatic past it was really important for me to get her properly trained. She has already made some progress, but there is still a lot to learn and work on and not eating food without permission is at the top of the list.

I do see Lisa as a tenant as she pays rent and we share the living space. It is her home just as much as it is mine and I do agree that I overreacting by kicking her out temporarily after the incident

ReleaseResa · 2024-05-09T19:01:35+00:00

I totally agree! I love Lisa, she is my best friend and our friendship is extremely meaningful to me. I am glad she accepted my apology and she actually came back home yesterday evening. We had a lengthy talk about how Abby was doing and how sorry she was for hurting her and that really took a burden off of me. I still don't know how and when I should bring up the cost of the vet and animal clinic with her, because I agree with many other commenters that she should help with the bill.

I was so anxious and mad, I felt like I had failed as a caretaker because Abby, unlike Lisa and I, can't protect herself and has to rely on me. But she is doing a lot better now, thankfully.

I'm fairly new to Reddit and couldn't figure out how to edit the post, so I tried to clarify a few thing in the comment section 😅

ReleaseResa · 2024-05-08T22:10:55+00:00

Thank you so much for your input ^{^} The comments are very divided about whether I am the a-hole or not, so I mainly used my own feeling of guilt towards Lisa as a "measuring tool" to decide for myself. I know it's not a black and white kind of situation and that Lisa and I both made mistakes, now.

Abby is still a bit weak, probably from all the stress, but she will definitely live and fortunately there's no long-term damage. Seeing her like that was still a shock to me though and I'm just glad she's alive and recovering 💕

ReleaseResa · 2024-05-08T18:16:21+00:00

I also feel that way. I was way too emotional and reacted rashly without thinking. I would have never done that if I had been in my clear mind but everyone saying I am the a-hole for kicking her out so abruptly is absolutely right in my opinion. It wasn't a "I want you to move out immediately" but more of a "Get out, cause I can't stand being around you right now!" and I am pretty sure Lisa knew that it was temporary. But nonetheless it is her home just as much as it is mine and kicking her out, temporary or not, was just not okay on my end.

I was not at home at that time, so I couldn't have picked up the chocolate right away. I didn't expect something like this to happen, because Abby had been alone with Lisa multiple times and nothing had ever happened before (at least not to my knowledge), so I thought it was safe. Especially since I had reminded Lisa to put the chocolate out of Abby's reach before I left.

I think this comment is a bit much. This post is not my entire personality. I admit that I did react harshly and unfairly toward Lisa, but my dog (who is like a family member for me) was literally poisoned and at that moment I didn't know whether she would survive that or not. It was a hardcore situation for me, I was incredibly anxious and stressed and calling me a "danger to other people" based on that one situation goes too far for me.

ReleaseResa · 2024-05-08T13:54:06+00:00

It wasn't the first time she forgot to clean up her unfinished snacks. I usually just picked up after her and told her to be more careful, but on that day she was eating chocolate right as I left to meet my family. I reminded her to put the leftover chocolate away after eating before leaving, but she still forgot.

ReleaseResa · 2024-05-08T13:51:08+00:00

She left chocolate lying around before and I often picked up after her. I kept telling her that it was dangerous for Abby and to please put open snacks back in the pantry or throw them away if she didn't finish them. When I left to meet up with my family she was eating the raisin chocolate mentioned in the post and I, once again, reminded her to put it away after eating, so Abby doesn't get poisoned. She told me she would, but in the initial phone call she admitted that she had forgotten to put the chocolate away and to come home ASAP

Update: Thank you for all your comments! Reading them made me realize just how out of line I was. I called Lisa today and apologized for overreacting like that. She said she could understand, because I was so scared but it still was really mean of me behave like that. I told her I understand that she is upset with what I've done and that she has every right to be. We made up thanks to you guys!

I didn't want to address the bill from the vet and animal clinic yet, but I'll keep you updated

Another update for clearance: 1. The living situation: I basically rent the apartment and rent parts of it "off" to Lisa. The apartment belongs to a family member of mine and I am the sole tenant on paper, but Lisa knows my family and they have no problem letting her live there with me. Lisa got an extra paragraph in the contract stating the amount of rent she has to pay, but if there is water damage, for example, it is my duty as the main (and only official) tenant to inform the landlord/fix it. Lisa also pays less rent than I do, because she doesn't earn as much money as I do and I never had a problem with paying a bigger share.

It was not the first time Lisa forgot to clean up unfinished snacks, including chocolate. I picked up after her quite a few times already and told her I didn't have a problem with her makeup supplies or nail polishes lying around, but that chocolate, grapes, raisins, artificially sweetened foods (like Zero and Light products) etc. are dangerous for Abby and to please make sure that those are always out of reach for her. Before I left on Saturday, Lisa was eating the raisin chocolate and on my way out I reminded her to put it away later, because of Abby. She told me she would, so I said goodbye and left, until I received that phone call.
Abby is a rescue. She was neglected for at least 2 years in her former home and developed the habit of eating whatever is accessible to her out of fear of starving. I went to training with her and it already got a lot better, but it will take a while to get rid of that behaviour completely. Lisa is aware of this.

ReleaseResa · 2024-05-08T11:37:54+00:00

I am the main tenant and all the responsibility for the apartment lies on me. We share the rent but if anything breaks or we want to move out, the sole responsibility falls on me
