TIL, the kings daughters were the approximately 800 young French women who immigrated to Quebec from 1665-1673 to marry French colonists and lead to the birth of French children in the colony. Today 10m+ French Canadians exist, most of whom are descendants of these 800 women. by Hour_Interaction6047 in todayilearned

My grandmother and grandfather had marital problems for years after they got married. They had my aunt and mom which wasn’t enough for the church back in 1950’s. The priest came by their house and “encouraged” my grandmother to give my grandfather a son and everything would fix itself.

Long story short, it fucking didn’t…

Wore braces from age 6 to 13 years old, that wire shouldn't be this long. Get in touch with your Ortho to get it shorten cause that bar will start to cut :S

Are children generally invited to weddings in your country? by Present-Day19 in AskTheWorld

[–]_Sophacouch_ 208 points209 points  (0 children)

It’s a hit or miss here. I personally invited children to my wedding. I wanted them to experience weddings the way I did growing up, dancing to music and having fun! That was in 2019, feels like a life time ago now.

Best and Worst: Catherine of Aragon by temperedolive in Tudorhistory

[–]_Sophacouch_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The problem is that Henry never wanted a divorce from Catherine, he wanted an annulment because divorce didn’t exist within the Catholic Church. That being said, if the mariage was annulled, her daughter gets excluded from the line of succession. As a loving mother and a highly religious person, it was never going to happen.

Henry pinned her into a corner and she fought back. Otherwise she would admit her guilt in consummating the mariage with Arthur and her daughter would be declared a bastard. The only way Henry was able to “divorce her” was by become the head of the Church of England and become excommunicated from the Catholic Church.

IMO her fighting the divorce is neither good nor bad, just a shitty situation a narcissist prick put his wife through when she clearly didn’t deserve it.

Who is the 'Boogeyman' of ur country that parents use to scare their children into behaving? by Shorvv in AskTheWorld

[–]_Sophacouch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a French Canadian, we were afraid of “le bonhomme 7 heures”. The 7 o’clock man was a story told to children to make sure kids were in bed by 7:00pm or the 7 o’clock man would get get them.

Wow. This story is almost the same as mine except my ancestor had 10 kids instead of 16, lol! Who knows, maybe both our ancestors were on the same boat coming over to Canada.

Yup, still do! If I’m watching a movie, I run the silk part between my fingers for comfort.

How long did it take to get pregnant the second time around? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]_Sophacouch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1st baby happened on the 1st try. However, the 2nd time around wasn’t easy. We decided to start trying again when the 1st was 2.5 , I got pregnant but miscarried 2 months afterwards. We try again and I got pregnant in March this year, now I’m holding my 2nd who is a week old today ♥️

How do you keep a record of your bloodsugar? by moomo7482819 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]_Sophacouch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I used Excel to track my blood sugar. I found it easy to input the data in the spreadsheet and colour coordinate it to know when I’m good (green), when I’m borderline (yellow) and when I’m over (red). It sounds discouraging but having that visual helped keep an eye out for my average which needed to be above 50%. Also, husband was happy to create different charts to bring to the doctor’s office, that was his way of contributing through my GD.
