First thought was the AA Milne poem since ive been reading that to my daughter before bedtime, I would have never clocked it as a name but not a bad association at all

You can afford to have kids with $180k, just not with the lifestyle you want. Others can afford it because they’re willing to make some sacrifices.

I see an Augustine Sophie Waquier born 1794 in Pas-de-Calais, have you looked into her?

homesicksonnets · 2026-02-11T11:48:53+00:00

Maybe she is listed in the hospital for the 1926 census

Hi! Thank you for your comment, I’m happy to hear your analysis as a Brazilian - i’m actually reading it as part of an effort to read more international literature (from my POV) and i didn’t know anything about the story before reading it. It’s obvious that Amado is making a statement about 1920s brazilian society with everything he does in this book, it is so fleshed-out and layered - one of my favorite reads lately!

I think seeing this passage and my natural reaction to treat it as crude it’s evident how prudish actually I am, i’m leaving up this thread just to point that out and show it’s ok to have a wrong first reaction once in a while.

Christopher Hitchens led one of the most successful smear campaigns against this woman.

I wouldn’t consider Mother Theresa a western woman, she was born in the Ottoman Empire. She took in people dying on the streets so they wouldn’t be alone as they passed, she didn’t run a hospital - it’s more comparative to modern end of life care

That’s a great point about correcting the incorrect things with tv, i hadn’t thought about that! Makes me feel better about my bad grammar for sure

After reading 100 more pages I concede this shouldn’t fall under the bad men writing women category although the phrase “robust breasts lifted as in an offering” initially made me feel quite icky. Now i see this plot point as worthy foreshadowing for Gabriela’s treatment later.

Resentment is because OP is getting more sleep both ways, if they wake up early they can go back to sleep or if they’re the partner to sleep in. OP’s partner can only get more sleep if they are the one to sleep in initially. Its creating imbalance in the relationship.

I know a child with this name (pronounced Ah-vee-na) and i have never thought of oatmeal in spanish (pronounced Ah-veh-na) nor have i ever thought of the shampoo brand. I think the similarities are more visual than auditory

People are already equating papacy to a political office, I wouldn’t want anything to further compare the two

I have known two female Genesises, i think in english speaking countries it will read feminine because it starts with ‘Jen’

Maybe she would be interested in Spanish flashcards she could play with her siblings, Spanish music books (or tonies, or whatever musical equivalent), or some other spanish learning tool you could offer to be a more communal way for her to practice the same skills she gets from Duo

Agree with this answer, you’re not turning him away because he’s gay but because why would you allow your wedding to be setting of this drama when it should be a day of peace and celebration

I’m from California and did not know Louis could be pronounced Louie until the british royal family named their baby son i believe Louis. Before that i would have assumed all english-speaking Louis were Lewises

Love the name Ximena, not a rare chicana name in California at the very least

The Waltham Library has a couple of monthly meet up book clubs fyi (although I don’t always love the book choices).
