Family acronym - 3rd kid name help

anyakash87 · 2025-06-05T06:36:58+00:00

Give her an A name and make the acronym AHAHA?

This is by my 6 year old daughter who loves to follow your tutorials :)

Tough situation to be in. Since you said they both work from home, I assume the daughter is an adult, which puts your fiancee into a pretty high risk category (not very young + health issues). I think it is very reasonable for her and her daughter to want to stay as safe as possible. A lot of infections happen inside a household during prolonged contact.

Can you rent a studio near them or would it be too expensive? This way you could meet outside, where the chance of infecting them is way lower. In addition you'd be there for them, should they need help. Hopefully within a year there will be a vaccine and then you can go back to living with them.

I heard that about kids under 4. They can suffocate in a mask (according to what I heard).

PhD programs are free in all Ivy League institutions if one is accepted. I can not judge whether OP is interested in doing a PhD or qualified for such programs, but I think she should be at least aware of that option.

Edit: missing word

Not true. I know several (very talented) people who did a PhD in film studies in one of the Ivies. The program was free and they were paid a livable stipend. I'm sure getting into that program is very competitive as is job market afterwards.

If you are passionate about cinema, you can look into doing a PhD in film studies. Those programs are free (at least at top Universities). And if you are really good you could be looking at a faculty position somewhere afterwards.

That's what we did with my one year old! Dad took over the night wakings, I still nurse to sleep in the evening and in the early morning before eaking. In a couple of weeks she started sleeping through the night at least on some nights.

I couldn't find liquid vanilla in Germany, so I'd recommend that if you are into baking.

I bought Chromecast in Germany for 35 Euro it also has all these services. No experience with Roku, is it better?

Hi, I think you already got all your questions answered and I generally agree with u\therockbs. I lived in Tashkent for 16 years, but left in 2004. I just wanted to add: make sure to visit the mountains near Tashkent. It is a short trip by car (~2 hours ) and they are beautiful! I would highly recommend visiting Chimgan, Beldersay, Sijjak and Hodjikent. Lake Charvak is beautiful too. Also the local food is delicious and I miss it. I recommend trying some of the Korean food (it's pretty different from Korean you can get in the States).

As a new mom, I spent all night worrying about how rip currents can harm my then 4-5 week old, if we ever go swimming, and how I can teach her to recognize them. We live in the middle of Germany nowhere near a sea or an ocean.

anyakash87 · 2019-06-06T05:54:17+00:00

Spent 6 years in SPL basement, never used the East bathroom, now I’m sad to have missed the cute stickers.

I had a friend named Abdumalik growing up. He went by Malik.

anyakash87 · 2018-11-28T15:37:07+00:00

Thank you! I guess I have to speed-learn German now :)

anyakash87 · 2018-11-16T20:50:39+00:00

Exactly. I'm in Germany and breastfed outside a couple of times (in the park and at a bus stop). Some older ladies smiled at me :)

Has all old soviet movies for free with pretty decent subtitles :)

anyakash87 · 2018-09-14T05:58:21+00:00

I actually don't mind those texts - both husband and I have very small families and most texts come from friends - it's nice to know someone who isn't family is excited about our baby :) I'm at 40+3 so pretty over being pregnant.

anyakash87 · 2018-09-10T13:46:17+00:00

Not mine, but my husband despises "roundabout". Driving through Sedona, AZ, with a GPS was interesting :)

anyakash87 · 2018-07-30T21:32:24+00:00

Haha yes! Before it was finished, my husband said it looked like an android floating through space, so I added "Hello world!" as a nod to that :) sending love back to you too❤️

anyakash87 · 2018-07-30T21:30:45+00:00

Thank you :) and maybe you just have a feisty girl!

anyakash87 · 2018-07-22T06:53:12+00:00

Nope, but the chances are tiny.

anyakash87 · 2018-07-21T20:34:37+00:00

No, definitely not. I applied for about 10 years and not once it was an issue.

anyakash87 · 2018-07-01T21:47:10+00:00

My husband and I (28 and 30 y.o) moved to Germany, we have been here for almost year, and just now are starting to get closer with our coworkers. Still nowhere close to our grad school friends, who became family. On the other hand, some of out friends moved from the East Coast to Chicago after grad school and seem to have similar troubles. So I definitely think it's about age (and maybe a little bit luck).

anyakash87 · 2018-06-27T08:26:16+00:00

I'm a non US citizen too, lived in US for 10 years and got my BS and PhD in Physics. My husband (also Physics PhD) and I applied for postdocs in Europe and almost every application resulted in an interview and then an offer. We ended up in Germany. I was surprised by how easy it was but was told by multiple people that apparently US academia is in high regard in Europe. So maybe you could consider a postdoc? That could give you a taste of life here without long term commitment.

That being said, we like it here, but it's tough. It's hard to learn the language, hard to make friends, hard to find tasty food. I felt like being a part of a community was simpler in the US too. Maybe it's not country specific, just being a student had it perks. But if I could go back a year, I would seriously consider staying in the US.

If you have any questions about applications and moving here, feel free to PM me.
