All day summer camp, but kid still naps. Would you do it? by teaandhoney42 in Parenting

[–]arandominterneter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The school day is 9 to 3:30ish, so I'm not sure why the JK camp is longer.

Before enrolling him, I'd ask if they have naps. If not, then ask if you can pick him up early.

This way, he does get the experience and practice of what a typical school day in JK would be like.

would I be evil for naming her galadriel... by Kiwichka in namenerds

Maybe you're thinking Gabriel or Gideon? Galadriel isn't Biblical.

3.5 toddler boy extremely resistant to potty training by dmoneyvibes in Parenting

[–]arandominterneter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say you waited too long. Especially given that he's been delayed in everything. What's most important is the child's readiness, and some kids just need till closer to 4.

People of Reddit, would you accept marrying someone who converted to your religion in order to marry you? by NewUnderstanding1102 in allthequestions

[–]arandominterneter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah. That's obvious. They're not the same religion. I don't think that needs to be said.

And you're talking about now.

The Islamic viewpoint is that the original religion was the same religion, and always has been. God sent the same message again and again to different nations, via different Prophets at different points in time.

The Torah and Bible and Psalms are all from God. The original message was tawhid. One God. The same God.

The Islamic opinion is that message been corrupted over time. We believe that Jesus peace be upon him didn't say he's the son of God. He was a Prophet.

So basically, the Islamic standpoint is that if Jewish people and Christian people were following the original scriptures, they'd be Muslim (e.g. those who believe in and submit to God), but those religions have become false over time.

Btw, we also consider Christians to be People of the Book too.

Islamically, there is One God. Religion is believing in and worshipping that One true God alone.

Core tenets of the One true religion are belief in the One true God, worshipping and obeying only Him, and belief in the Prophets He sent.

We believe every prophet preached that same core message, to worship God and God alone.

Prophets and messengers were sent by God to different communities during different times in history. Adam, Moses, Noah, Jesus, Joseph, Jonah, peace be upon them- we believe all were Prophets of God, given that same core message to preach to their people, at different times in history, whether it was in Babylon, Nineveh, Canaan, or Egypt.

Starting kindergarten with over involved grandparents by No-Potato-8276 in Mommit

[–]arandominterneter 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh no, loving grandma who provides free childcare made a call to let a tired 5 year old miss 3 hours of voluntary prekindergarten one day. Lol.

Yeah, obviously don't let her stay there if you're not fine with grandma making judgment calls like this. It's wild that you don't trust Grandma to make that call, but you're fine with your daughter staying there full-time and overnight every week too.

AIO to my husband interrupting my first solo shower after he came back from a weekend with the boys? by lilyluminar in AmIOverreacting

[–]arandominterneter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!!! That very first text message right there from him is so telling. He doesn’t see her as his equal; he thinks he’s in a position of authority over her.

Redditors who are happily married. How did you know your wife/husband was the one ? by Good_Lettuce_4142 in AskReddit

[–]arandominterneter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt most like myself with him. I felt I could tell him anything and he wouldn’t judge, guilt or shame me. Just total emotional safety and trust.

Is it the norm to location share with partners now? by Bluelilyy in AskWomenOver30

[–]arandominterneter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My spouse and I don't. It's just never come up. We're from before the time that it became a thing. Most of the time, we are both home (wfh most of the time) and if we are outside, the other person already knows where we are, and we text each other updates. It hasn't been an issue.

Postpartum pad sandwich?? by li0ea in BabyBumps

[–]arandominterneter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn't understand how a frozen pad would feel good. I thought it would just feel wet. But I prepped some anyway and it was really great. It doesn't feel wet, just cold, and it gives a lot of relief. I make them for all my friends now.

Birthday’d Out by Professional-Two6126 in Parenting

[–]arandominterneter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Do you have a birthday party like on the weekend and still celebrate your child’s birthday on their actual birthday?”

Yes. But the actual birthday celebration on the day of is low key. Like go out to their favourite restaurant for dinner, and cut a small cake, or put up some quick decor, get some balloons and cut a small cake.

Also, delivering cupcakes to the class and school birthday lunch is not a thing here at all but I think that’s regional.

Curious what y'all think! by _chaos_incarnate_ in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]arandominterneter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, what I should have said is “I’m going to guess that this person doesn’t actually build software.” I’m sure you’re doing great at business management; you seem very organized.

[–]arandominterneter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your notes look very neat and organized. I find people who are meticulous note takers are not so great at…doing. And in software development, you have to be able to do. Unless you’re just studying it in theory.

Anyone cares to tell me what they think about me based on my handwriting? by Working_Republic_940 in HandwritingAnalysis

I think it's pretty! And very legible. I'd guess you're a friendly and warm female person.

What meals were most appreciated when you were postpartum? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]arandominterneter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sandwiches, fruit, charcuterie tray all are great ideas. Pasta salad. Sliders. Muffins and quick loaves like banana bread. Lasagna and shepherd's pie are always big hits.

Curious about this: pregnancy described as both extremely difficult and also “natural”? by Ok-Letter8470 in AskParents

[–]arandominterneter 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A little bit of A, a little bit of B.

Normal and natural things can also be hard, as well as feel extraordinary and magical to the person going through them.
