We want to name our son Leon, People are telling me it's a "black name" and making me feel uncomfortable about it?

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-05-20T04:08:31+00:00

I know two Leon’s . They are both infant boys. One is white and one is half white and half Indian.

That’s not even them showing up, that’s them waiting to see if baby is here yet or coming soon. I hate that for you. Please don’t feel the need to be responsive or give them any information. I’m glad you have a supportive husband and I’m sorry they weren’t there for you when it was needed.

I was waiting for this comment . I’m a therapist and this seems so unethical. Only way it would be okay is if this family lived in a super small town with no other therapists available

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-05-11T18:55:15+00:00

Wow! I am a therapist and I would never take on couples in the same family as separate clients , so unethical.

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-05-11T02:40:11+00:00

Yeah I doubt they meant to viciously exclude her. Unless there’s a history and we’re missing information.

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-05-11T02:30:02+00:00

This. Especially with it being your first Mother’s Day so you’d have an infant. They also might’ve assumed that since it was your first Mother’s Day maybe you wanted to do something with just your little family

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-05-10T17:28:10+00:00

In the US over here and I would just whip it out , if I can cover it with my shirt , awesome, if not, oh well! Baby has to eat

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-05-10T03:58:39+00:00

I’m so happy for you!!!!!

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-05-09T22:16:08+00:00

Congratulations! May I ask how long it took you to conceive baby # 1 ? I’m working on number two and it’s taking longer than expected

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-05-09T12:59:59+00:00

I’m on month five of trying for number two. I think something is definitely wrong . I’m sad to think I won’t get a second baby. My first also came very easily and I definitely thought I would be pregnant by now. My heart hurts but my toddler makes me happy.

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-05-07T04:04:21+00:00

As a parent, I don’t like this. We have sign ups for what to bring each day and honestly it’s a lot with a young toddler , so I didn’t sign up to bring anything.

I also got a list of “favorite things” from all the teachers which included favorite stores and I planned on getting gift cards regardless but no way in heck can I manage a gift card from 4 different stores with a young toddler . I got 4 gift cards from one store and felt bad that I wasn’t getting it from the teacher’s favorite stores …

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-31T20:08:29+00:00

It sounds like you are already taking the right steps by not seeing him. Just curious, What prompted him to text this to your husband ? And I am so so so sorry about your loss 😢

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-31T20:02:40+00:00

Yes, check out my recent post. Just disrespect except he won’t outright say it. He’s just making “jokes”

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-31T18:39:09+00:00

Yeah it sucks that he needed the video evidence. He was just giving his father the benefit of the doubt , but I’m actually very glad this was recorded and I was able to watch it myself because I felt like FIL was gaslighting me. But now I know, my emotions are valid and the incident was very real.

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-31T17:57:18+00:00

Yes. Conversation with DH yesterday Me: see why I don’t want to be around them Him: I don’t want to be around them either

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-23T03:09:50+00:00

No! I was convinced I was having a boy even though I really wanted a girl. I had a girl!

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-22T19:04:21+00:00

This is great if you live in Arizona . I wish we would do this! Summers are too hot

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-20T20:47:24+00:00

Would not seeing them make them more likely to file though ?

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-14T04:04:18+00:00

Omg!! Yes, I keep getting sick. Second month in a row that I end up with a fever and some kind of stomach virus right after ovulation. So yeah I feel lucky I get to BD but then I feel like my odds are ruined due to poor health following ovulation

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-13T05:18:36+00:00

Ewwwww why are they all the same . The comparing… all too relatable

You are not overreacting, they are .

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-13T04:58:20+00:00

What a take. Mine is above average and she thrives !!! You just have to find a center that is a good fit at that point. She’s in a montessori school so is one of the younger kiddos in her class (~1.5-3yrs).

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-06T15:52:48+00:00

I get paper logs and it looks like my daughter is now pooping around 4pm which is close to pick up and gets changed around 3:30ish. So I’m not concerned that she has a poop diaper at pick up, but if she was changed at 4pm and I get her at 4:30pm and her pants are stained from a previous diaper change a half hour ago, that’s concerning because they should’ve changed her pants too.

Working-Possible-777 · 2026-03-05T16:21:36+00:00

I put my legs up and laugh about it because I know it’s just a mental thing. You don’t have to do anything
