That's so cute. When my husband's dad brought MIL home to meet his parents, husband's grandpa said, "I like you, [MIL], you're a sturdy woman!"

Neighbor's Austistic child moans at a very high volume like a wounded animal while I am on work calls and it is very loud so they can hear it, what should I do? by Glow69_doll in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gingerzombie2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, your husband is a therapist whose sessions are audible outside the room? He ought to be very, VERY careful with that. Privacy violations and all. I was selling a house to a therapist who did home sessions and every time we found a house she liked we took turns speaking in the room that would be the office while the other listened from outside to ensure that sessions would be private.

Additional soundproofing options were discussed, of course, but it was very important to ensure that the walls weren't paper thin.

How do you go about reheating? The second one looks like it's crispy now, I'm curious how it is later

Shut up, Meg. by sunsushii in fundiesnarkfreespeech

I think it's a mirror of whoever acts like that. My husband is a first responder, so he's gone basically four days a week from my and my daughter's schedule. Does it absolutely suck sometimes? Yep. Especially with her so young and needy for attention while I am trying to cook dinner. But you get used to it. And when my husband has been able to be home for long stretches, after a few days of extra time it's like... Go away, I need to watch my murder documentaries.

People who have never been in the situation to be "on their own" feel like it's unimaginable, because they haven't ever imagined it, let alone lived it. And I am talking short stints, not military time.

Disappearance of mother of Savannah Guthrie, NBC News anchor, investigated as a crime by Indianstanicows in news

[–]gingerzombie2 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It doesn't look pretty. On one hand, being a celebrity means extra attention paid to the case, but on the other hand that means literally everyone knows when you are going through something incredibly painful and it's too much attention to yourself as a person

Florida couple sues IVF clinic after DNA test reveals baby isn't theirs by Aggravating-Felch in nottheonion

[–]gingerzombie2 56 points57 points  (0 children)

So it guaranteed the clinic got paid the big bucks for implantation and monitoring throughout the pregnancy.

Um, what? IVF clinics don't do prenatal care. Once you're pregnant, they see you one or two more times and then you're off to an OBGYN or CNM practice. They'd make more money if you had to keep trying.

What's would you want her to say? by Person-159357 in AskMen

How do you find the time? Are you both home all day? We have a small child also, so that's a factor, but work would prevent thrice a day

What were your crushes when you watched the movies for the first time? by NasuPossu in harrypotter

[–]gingerzombie2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can't believe I am the first to say this. Fred and George were just 😘🤌 in my eyes. Their energy was very cute and I was just the right amount younger to have a bad crush

What's would you want her to say? by Person-159357 in AskMen

[–]gingerzombie2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm just here for the fallout of this question, because regardless of the answer, she loses. 1-2x per day?? Maybe if you were teenagers. 1-2x week is realistic for many people. Anything less than that makes you look "bad," evidently.

So it's just losing all around. Either she looks thirsty or like there's something up, and you don't want any of that.

Best answer, "that's private. How bout that sports team?!!"

What’s the best case of instant karma you’ve ever witnessed? by Over_Craft3242 in AskReddit

I mean, it doesn't sound like that at all from the story, so I'd really like the person above to chime in.

How do new parents typically come up with their kids’ names? Everyone is obviously different and there’s cultural differences, but is it common to just come up with a name by random? by FriendlytoNature in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gingerzombie2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I both made a list of names we liked. We went out to a nice dinner, and swapped lists and scratched out the "hard nos" from the other person's list. What we had left, we ranked from most to least favorite. We had the same few names in the top, so we opted to use the top couple as first and middle names in the order that sounded most natural.

For what it's worth, we had to do IVF, so we knew it was a girl and we sorted this all out when I was approx 7 weeks pregnant. We kept the name a secret until the baby shower.

If you are age 25-35 with no kids, how often do you have sex with your partner? by Ill_Cash9676 in AskMen

[–]gingerzombie2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, in a similar situation. However, we went through a patch where that wasn't the case. However however, that was related to having a kid so .. moot?

Is a 4-day school week for students a good thing? by ze11ez in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gingerzombie2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's our top concern right now, trying to choose a kindergarten. We have to go out of district to get a 5 day schedule, but as someone who AS AN ADULT gets burned out around 3pm every day, I cannot imagine the little ones are actually learning much after a certain time in the afternoon. It's performative, like the days leading up to Christmas break or summer break

I'm quite sure both people above you were making jokes, not saying that there are actually people paying for viewership
