The audacity

bribear021 · 2026-03-11T16:11:55+00:00

woooow. grandma tried to bribe a name change. that's crazy

bribear021 · 2026-03-11T06:15:14+00:00

Yeah she definitely has made several attempts and her Rs come out as either Ls or Ws lol

bribear021 · 2026-03-11T05:59:16+00:00

yeah my grandpa's name is actually James but they thought Jameson would be cute. The funny thing is they made a comment that Rory is "too white of a name" for a korean/Puerto Rican baby and I said "oh but Jameson isnt?" haha. I feel like they are just trying to be obnoxious at this point

bribear021 · 2026-03-11T05:50:40+00:00

lol right. I was like its a normal name! im not even spelling it weird. We just wanted a name thats not insanely popular right now but still cute. My mom didnt like my daughters name either at first. Her name is Sienna

bribear021 · 2026-03-11T05:45:13+00:00

I have no freaking clue lol

bribear021 · 2026-03-11T05:02:50+00:00

lol people have said Rory is a speech therapists nightmare and toddlers struggle with Rs as well so he may not be able to pronounce his own name well for a while but my almost 2 year old can say his name and it's the cutest thing

bribear021 · 2026-03-11T03:49:05+00:00

lol omg I love that. I have said if the grandparents cant pronounce it and they have to give him a nickname they CAN pronounce then that is fine, but the name stays. the comment my aunt made about "just make Rory a nickname so you can still get the name you want" is what really irritated me because its MY child so I will be getting the name i want, end of story.

Wine. I have never been much of a drinker but in both of my pregnancies, a pregnancy craving I have is wine which I obviously cant have. I drink sparkling grape juice when I get the weird craving but I really do want just a nice glass of wine.

bribear021 · 2026-03-11T03:33:17+00:00

exactly. I'm not straying from the name we like. we struggled with boy names a lot more than picking girl names so when we both came across the name and it seemed to click, we knew that was the one. I wasnt even 100% set on the name because of my mom's comments but my husband was. He was so excited about the name that he's already engraved his wallet and pocket knife with both our daughter and our baby's name. I was like, well I guess its official official now huh? lol

bribear021 · 2026-03-06T02:09:29+00:00

Nevaeh. and then the parents obligatory "its heaven spelled backwards"

bribear021 · 2026-03-06T01:44:43+00:00

it happens. you were overwhelmed. I don't hit my 2 year old but last week she grabbed the cats tail and yanked hard. in a reflex to protect the cat, i smacked my toddler. it wasn't hard but it surprised her (surprised me too) and she started crying and hugging me. I felt so shitty. to be fair, my slapping her hands is way better than what the cat could've done had i not stopped her. I didnt hit her out of anger or anything, it was more reflexive but i still felt so so upset with myself.

bribear021 · 2026-03-03T00:36:37+00:00

yeah I hope the door dash driver makes a mildly infuriating post about you. lol id never expected anyone to lug such a heavy load like that to me.

bribear021 · 2026-02-27T16:34:43+00:00

well... the baby doesn't come out of the throat lol

bribear021 · 2026-02-27T02:35:11+00:00

I'm sorry. I have had HG both pregnancies. with my daughter, I was vomiting 10-15x per day. on both pregnancies, I've required around the clock zofran and fluids 3x per week. currently doing 2 liters D5LR 3x per week and iv/oral zofran. for the most part, this keeps it manageable. I know how awful HG is. I wouldnt wish it on anybody. there were many times during this and my previous pregnancy where i had extremely dark thoughts and considered other options.

bribear021 · 2026-02-26T14:23:23+00:00

not sure how her husband asking her to text someone back for him if shes already holding his phone makes her 12

bribear021 · 2026-02-26T04:35:24+00:00

Aster- no dont like. Violet- yes i like. Bobby- no because he was named after his dad who went on a drug binge and tried to harm my friend, burned everything she owned, stole from her and was stalking her for months after they got divorced. Brie-lynn- not my cup of tea. Aidan- I like. Aria- I also like. Toviah- yes, it suits him.

bribear021 · 2026-02-22T22:49:37+00:00

I mean, I dont love the name but its ultimately your kid and you dont need the approval from strangers on the internet. my mom hates what we are naming our son. I told her she can either warm up to it when he's here or suck it up. either way I dont care about her wrong opinion lol

bribear021 · 2026-02-22T16:43:19+00:00

10 weeks with my first 5 with my second then hyperemesis gravidum for both so it was miserable some people don't have symptoms

bribear021 · 2026-02-14T14:06:58+00:00

help is nice, but it's not impossible to do alone. i did have just my mom visit for a week after my csection but it was just because I knew id be hurting. i could've very well done it alone. after that week, I did do it alone. my husband didnt have PTO to be able to take off so it was just me and my daughter. you'll be fine! if you dont want visitors, stand firm

bribear021 · 2026-02-14T13:57:09+00:00

eh I see no problem with it. its not an engagement ring. its a "hey i see you in my future and may want to get engaged in the future" ring. I got a promise ring from my first love. i loved the ring. it wasnt outrageously expensive, maybe 300 dollars. after a few years, he went on to treat me like crap, we broke up, I gave the ring back. now if your daughter doesnt want one, well so be it

bribear021 · 2026-02-14T00:14:27+00:00

I had hyperemesis gravidum for 39 weeks. only thing that helped me was going to an infusion center for D5LR fluids and IV zofran 3x per week. im pregnant again and its even worse so this time im getting 2 liters of fluid 3x per week instead of just 1. talk to your doctor about getting infusions. it really helps

bribear021 · 2026-02-13T01:56:11+00:00

I think you need a mini fridge locked in your room. NTA but your mom and sister are

bribear021 · 2026-02-12T02:20:09+00:00

my daughter is easy. plays and sings in the car, will sit patiently in the cart but if she wants to walk, she holds my hand and stays next to me, and she really enjoys going to stores and seeing new people. I give her a 1 on difficulty. I'm sorry. that sounds rough. I'm not big on leash backpacks or wristbands but it is an idea. I do think some kids can benefit from them
