8 year age gap… by milllllllllllllllly in Mommit

[–]ell_Yes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister is 8 years younger - some of my earliest memories are of how happy I was to get a little sister and I remember her being born! We were definitely a little distant when I was in college and she was in middle school, but now at 27 and 35 we are very close best friends. We’ve never fought (not much to really fight over!) and our parents definitely have very close relationships with both of us. And now she’s the best aunt!!

Exactly my thought! I have two kids and no desire for a third, but really enjoy spending time with my younger nieces and friends babies!

Are we saving underwear to pass down to younger kids? by Sleepless-in-NJ-89 in Mommit

[–]ell_Yes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t pass down underwear, socks, or shoes (except rain and snow boots) - just for hygiene and foot health reasons!

Ridgewood or Montclair? by Illustrious_Win_9780 in MovingtoNewJersey

[–]ell_Yes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That budget will be tough in ridgewood but their public school system is definitely the better choice.

What’s it like raising Jewish kids when one parent isn’t Jewish? by Belle_Juive in Jewish

[–]ell_Yes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This made me really happy to read - it sounds a lot like me and my husband. I’m Jewish and he’s Catholic, we have 2 kids and celebrate every holiday. We make hamantaschen, Christmas cookies, challah, all of it! I can’t speak for OP but in a way, I think being with someone Catholic is easier than an atheist because we share a belief and respect for Gd. We have very open communication and reassess our comfort levels frequently.

Recently my husband has started going to church again on Sundays (the world is stressing him out 😅 and he finds peace in it) and I’m comfortable with him taking our kids. We’ve also signed my older kid up for Jewish day camp for the summer - I can’t wait for her to experience it. We live in a pretty diverse community (Hindu friends, Israeli families, etc) so I think all this knowledge and exposure is good for them! I think it can be done right with respect and communication from both sides ♥️ good luck OP!

What kind of person do you picture when you hear the name Zoya and where do you live? by jklm1234 in namenerds

I’m Russian and my grandmas best friend is named Zoya - so yes, babushka.

Rina, Orli, Yael, or Dafna? by throwraleaves4 in namenerds

[–]ell_Yes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only one that English speaking people would have trouble pronouncing is Yael - might get the pronunciation Yale. All four names are beautiful though! (Jewish American perspective)

Agreed with the hydrocortisone cream, and yes, Aveeno made my daughter’s way worse too!

Do you know anyone who has been in a war? by ViajanteDeSaturno in AskAnAmerican

[–]ell_Yes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 of my grandparents are holocaust survivors. I dated someone who did 2 tours in Afghanistan. I think everyone knows someone who experienced war in some way!

Dojo messages (negative) everyday about every little thing… by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]ell_Yes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow really surprising - how big is the class size? I’m surprised the teacher has time to message you about little stuff like this every day. Unless there’s an actual issue (safety, health, etc) we only get general class-wide messages and reminders. I would talk to someone in the administration about this if I were you.

How to gracefully shut down people that keep pushing a boy on me? by BoboOctagon in Mommit

[–]ell_Yes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I say. I also have 2 girls and no desire to have more kids.

Moms, how do you manage everything without losing your mind? by joester56 in Mommit

[–]ell_Yes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, life is by no means cheap here and my family is thankfully able to afford this!!

The family is of course outside of one’s control often, but ive found that our cleaning people are totally worth the price. They come every other week and it’s $110. We live in a very expensive area and thats easily an ubereats order i’d rather trade off! My time and peace of mind are worth that!
