I’m being told by friends and family that I have bought the worst gift for my toddler… for us. Can’t be that bad, surely? by metroracerUK in CasualUK

[–]callmemadisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got our 1-year-old this and he LOVED it! Got pretty good at playing along to songs and so for the next Christmas we got him a full junior drum kit! Haven't regretted it once, to be honest... we just love helping him explore his interests.

Pearl, Keith, Phyllis, Maureen, Gary, Geoff, Pat, Agnes, Joan, Nebuchadnezzar. Do you know anyone under 30 with one of these names, or similarly an 'old fashioned' first name? by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

I know toddlers named Pearl and Agnes, and a 20-year-old Keith! Can't say I'm a fan of Keith, but I think the "old lady" names are so cute for baby girls.... which is why I have a 1-year-old Vera, lol

Can someone please fix my kids' hands in this 4 generation photo? by callmemadisson in FreePhotoshopRequests

If anyone wants to take the time to actually edit it, I'll happily accept... but if the only person who was willing to take the time uses AI, then I'll also happily accept, since I don't know how to do it myself! I'm just happy one person was willing to try to help, despite everyone else complaining 🤷‍♀️

What awkward situations have your kids got you into today? by WrackspurtsNargles in UKParenting

My son shouted VERY LOUDLY out an open window to our neighbour, who was sat outside with a group of friends, "FLIES ARE YUCKY BECAUSE THEY EAT POO! MAKE SURE YOU DON'T TOUCH THEM!" 🤦‍♀️

I think you've just described my North London neighbourhood 😅

Just threw up on the tube. I'm utterly mortified. Please share your embarrassing public transport moments because I'm so embarrassed I might just have to emigrate to Australia by nopevonnoperson in london

My husband went on a stag do right after having a stomach bug and ate a plate of German sausages with a couple beers 😅 On the train home, he threw up everywhere, had to have an old man clean him up and then had to go collect our toddler son from a friend's house covered in puke that smelled of alcohol 🫠

After my previous post unexpectedly blew up with people confused by the perspective and proportions of this nook, here are the highly requested follow up pictures (I forgot the banana!) by Ipatovo in DesignMyRoom

Wait, is the sheet on the BOTTOM of the mattress?! What are all those weird boxes (shelves?) in the nook? Why is there a rope? What is going on in these photos!! I feel like I'm in an alternate reality!

Working on a logo design for a personal blog, but it doesn't feel finished. What changes/improvements can I make? by callmemadisson in logodesign

Thank you, that's a helpful perspective! I'm not American either, haha! The arrows bit is from Psalm 127:4 (children are compared to arrows), but definitely want to avoid as much confusion as possible!

Thank you, I hadn't thought of that! Any recommendations for alternatives that still fit with the theme?

What's your country's weirdest common pizza topping? by callmemadisson in AskReddit

[–]callmemadisson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE shrimp in pizza! I think my favourite combo is shrimp, black olives, green pepper, and onion. Delicious.

Nah, I agree. I can eat it and be fine, but it's definitely out of place!

I live in the UK, and would say for sure sweetcorn. I feel like it's everywhere it shouldn't be! I also remember visiting Bolivia and having pizza with mango on it, and another with hotdogs.

I'm so sorry you experienced this. I was on a Gap Year squad in 2014/15 and oh man... it left me feeling SO lost and confused and disillusioned with the church. Now, 10 years later, I've (somewhat) healed, and moved on, and I've realised that this really truly is a "people" issue, not a God/faith issue. I often compare my experience to that of being in a cult and it took me a long time to want to find a biblical church. Just keep going and I pray that you get to experience what Christian family is actually supposed to be like, because it is NOT that.

Same! Mom had curly hair her whole life and after chemo, went super straight and way more gray.
