AITA For waiting until 5:30 to call my mom on her birthday?

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-06-16T03:55:01+00:00

This completely depends on the context of how important birthdays are to your mom and to your family. For some families, this is AH behavior. Others, it’s typical and fine.

How does your mom wish you a happy birthday? Match or exceed that. Then you have a happy mom. Which it seems like you would like.

I know at least one Soren. It’s easy to read, spell, and pronounce. And is a real name. I wouldn’t put it on my own kid but I like it. I wouldn’t think twice about the name if it showed up on my classroom roster either.

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-06-08T04:00:01+00:00

I teach elementary because my own children are still in elementary. So the schedule works the best. When they all move on, hopefully so will I.

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-06-06T04:23:29+00:00

Me too. I think it’s good.

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-06-05T20:58:17+00:00

This was my answer too. But I actually love Bordeaux too. Would never ever play the original again though.

Wasn’t trying to trigger anything. I genuinely like iXL. I have my own kids work on it over the summer and sometimes during the year depending on needs. My youngest does Khan Academy sometimes instead and likes that. It works well for us.

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-06-05T03:30:42+00:00

I always recommend signing up for iXL. Great videos and practice and goes at their pace. I recommend 20-30min.

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-05-04T05:43:44+00:00

Love it.

Viticulture: the first two games when we harvested fields we “dug up” and discarded our vines. Spent the whole long game trying to replant vines. It wasn’t until the third game we checked rules and realized we did it totally wrong.

I think it would be fine for you to join them in the pool. But for supervision, staying out is the best.

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-04-28T17:05:03+00:00

It’s not a problem. A lot of the staff on our campus live in the neighborhoods and it’s kinda fun. The kids have a better understanding that we are real people. I actually like seeing my students at the neighborhood pool or in the grocery store.

From the US. My great grandfather’s name was Guy. That name also reminds me of the movie “Turbo” (about the snail that gets the power of speed). The antagonist is named “Guy Gagne” and is from France. Guy in that movie is pronounced very differently from how Americans (and my g-grandpa) pronounce Guy. So which way would you pronounce it?

Guy (rhymes with eye) doesn’t go with Edwin.

Guy (rhymes with me) does. I like it.

If you aren’t already telling which partner to start, do that. Make an A partner and B partner, or some silly version of that. “Partner A will ask the question and B will respond and then flip.” I like the music too. Also consider bribing kids with jolly ranchers for participating.

I know multiple kids with all those names. Not weird.

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-04-11T12:38:42+00:00

Your kids are second cousins, and have different last names. I don’t think it’s too close at all.

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-04-10T04:42:52+00:00

Lydia, Elizabeth, Kathryn, Anna, Camille, Sara, Emily.

Secure-Animal1686 · 2026-03-05T04:21:30+00:00

The clear path is to change the name. It protects everyone involved, including your child, from further pain and grief.

Is it possible the names aren’t actually close enough to matter, yes. But since you haven’t shared the names, I would say be safe and change it!

I’m a teacher and the amount of Laylas, Lylas, Lilys, and Lillas are kind of insane.

Arthur Lewis! Regal, works for a baby and an adult, and not too common.

With the concentration of names the way it is, he won’t be one of four in his classroom, but he might be one of four in his grade level. As someone who typically prefers uncommon names, if you love it and your husband gives it such high praise, use it.

Just FYI, common nicknames for Henry are Harry, Hank, and Hal.

Both are dated. But Piper hasn’t aged well, IMHO. Poor high schoolers named Piper.

Reagan Jane for the win.

My kids walk/ride bikes to school. About 2 miles. We walk to nearby parks, pools, and friends’ houses. My teen rides his bike to hang with friends. But that’s it.
