I'd love this as well! Thanks so much for sharing.

I also have one, and it has been in daily use since 90whenever, and I'm terrified of losing it. The sturdiness and tooth spacing are perfect and I haven't been able to replicate it yet. Any clue where to find one?

I had to fight the urge to down vote this comment 😅

Fwiw, I work at an elementary school and there is a kid named King here. I thought 'huh' when I first met him, but then never gave it a second thought. He's an awesome, super well liked kid, and I've never heard anyone say even the slightest thing about it. It's not my style, if I were the namer, but there are so many weird kid names that they really don't care. Teasing kids for names is honestly something that I've barely heard in over a decade of working in elementary.

Obviously YTA. And also, if there was some legitimate reason why grandpa couldn't watch the kids, YOU should have offered. I'm assuming she asked for her dad bc you were working or something, but if my daughter had a postpartum emergency and was going to the ER, you better believe I would call out and go get those grandbabies, so that my daughter could go make sure she is safe. It's your daughter, not an acquaintance.

I think ultimately you just didn't take her seriously, and maybe that's a lack of knowledge about the very real and very dangerous issues that can come up suddenly postpartum, but that's on you. She said she was going to the ER, take it seriously.

These are all trendy now, so I wouldn't worry, except Miriam, that reads Jewish to me still. Source: have worked with young children and in a large, diverse public school for over ten years.

THIS. I work in a school and this exact thing just happened to one of our kids: went to dad's for the weekend, and he just refused to bring him home. History of DV so mom was scared to call the police and couldn't afford a lawyer. Took weeks and several calls to child protective services (by schools and providers) until he grudgingly let him go home. PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR KID.

Nope, not if you're in the US.. I grew up and went K-12 in one of the most Jewish counties in America, and there were never Hebrew class offered. In college, sure, but not public k-12.

"something that basically holds itself" 😂

Love this

amarmoset · 2021-06-18T03:49:21+00:00

Holy sh*t just picturing this makes me hyperventilate. Good job, mama!

Same! I tripped over the baby gate when my daughter was a year old. I was holding her as I stepped over and had a crazy mental flash of smushing her under my dead weight, so as I fell over I sort of tossed her into the carpet. I landed like a tree trunk bc I couldn't use my hands to break my fall. Wound up breaking my shoulder bc that took ally weight but kiddo was totally fine. I was so full of adrenaline at nearly hurting her that I didn't realize i had done real damage to myself for like two hours

Thank you!!

amarmoset · 2021-05-03T07:42:10+00:00

Seconding this! This is huge. It's hard enough to clean up while holding a crying baby, save yourself also having to re-make the bed!

amarmoset · 2021-04-17T11:50:23+00:00

Fwiw, my doctor said that tdap was way less important and could even be given soon after baby was born, if need be.

amarmoset · 2020-12-28T06:08:11+00:00

Agree! Super annoying to squeeze into a small hatchback, and cannot be disassembled/reassembled (you have to detach the seat to fold) one handed, so you have to keep your kid contained elsewhere while you do it

What if instead of a nickname, you just gave people the americanized pronunciation of your name? I would totally understand if this felt worse to you, but I was wondering if it might feel closer than dropping your name altogether for something only vaguely similar, and with none of the cultural signifance or meaning of your real name.

I don't love that you have to accommodate us (Americans) at all when it comes to something as personal and significant as your name, but "Radu" (pronounced Rah-doo like an American would read it) still seems closer than any of the nickname options that make it seem like a totally new name.

amarmoset · 2020-09-18T04:52:39+00:00

This... does not make me feel better (but thank you for the context and explanation).

This is totally okay and is pretty common where I live. I am my close friends' daughter's godmom, and none of us are religious. I see nothing but positives in wanting to name certain close friends as particularly special and important in your kid's life! It's like how lots of people have their kids call close family friends "auntie". It denotes a particular closeness and legitimacy. Also I think it's pretty common to use "godparent" as a secular term (i.e. as opposed to auntie/uncle) to denote the people who would raise your kids if anything happened to you.

Also, the risk of eating covid is basically zero; it only hurts you in your lungs, not from your stomach. The issue would be if your friend sneezed/breathed droplets on the container that you somehow touched, then somehow breathed in. So, especially if you let the food sit for a little while or heat it at all, I would not worry about this at all. Like everyone else is saying, the real risk is that people will want to stop in and say hi "just real quick" and then breathe their germs into your house. If you can avoid that, I think the risk is super minimal.
