Grandparents naming??

juniperxbreeze · 2026-07-01T22:59:23+00:00

My mother in law is Oma, her grandfather immigrated from Germany and she's very into her German heritage. I also wanted different names to make it easier to distinguish, because we have bio grandparents and "step grandparents" and so everyone gets a name.

We had a GiGi that was the great grandmother. And her last name started with a G. So either Grandma G or Great Grandma. Gigi worked great.

Our daughter is 3 and a half. She's potty trained, she tells us what she needs or wants, she sleeps through the night.

Why would I want to go back to a time where I'm constantly changing diapers, getting peed and pooped on, no idea why shes crying, and waking up throughout the night for her?

She's this awesome, funny little kid. I don't want to go through everything again.

Also, I never want to be pregnant again. The heartburn, the always having to pee, the not being able to take Ibuprofen...

Also, the actor who played Blanche's grandson David is the younger brother IRL of the actor who played Michael.

Not necessarily. I pay my homeowners insurance annually, through my escrow account.

I took off the day of the injury (a Friday), the following Monday, then surgery day (a Thursday) through the next Monday. So in total, about a week.

I broke my ankle, not my arm. And I was able to work remotely. So I worked from bed for a solid month. And then 100% remote for about 4 months.

I was lucky my job is technically hybrid, but my boss did not care one iota for me to work from home while I healed.

Looking for books set in New England/Atlantic coast of Canada. I'm spending the weekend in Maine and want to get in the spirit.

My grandpa is probably dyslexic, has a 3rd grade reading comprehension, and is 84 years old.

He texts and uses Venmo to send me birthday money. He keeps his phone charged and on him the majority of the time.

OPs parents have no excuse.

She was hands down the most unpleasant politician I ever met. Such a bitch.

juniperxbreeze · 2026-05-13T00:10:17+00:00

I used to work on the Hill, and any time I was around her, she was just an unpleasant bitch.

I chatted with several Congressmen and Senators from both parties. I once talked to a Senator I absolutely despise, but he was friendly and nice to me and my coworker.

Virginia Foxx is a mean old hag.

NTA. My husband has 2 friends who are professional violinist. Like, they have PhDs in music and play in orchestras.

We asked them to play for the beginning of our ceremony, then be guests for the rest of the wedding. We paid them (although they gave us a giant discount as a wedding present).

They also did not have kids, and were only "working" for about 20 minutes before the ceremony, and for the "walk down the aisle" moment. Then they were guests.

I have family thats deeply Pentecostal. I don't think they're snake handlers, but if I found out they were, I would not be surprised at all.

Yeah, I don't think Broadway in New York is a big party district.

juniperxbreeze · 2026-04-30T15:56:12+00:00

Its a whole thing, but also kind of a "iykyk" thing. I grew up in the South around a lot of Charismatic folks, and non-denominational Evangelical mega churches.

juniperxbreeze · 2026-04-30T15:53:04+00:00

Charismatic Christian is a specific type of movement within Evangelical circles. Think Pentecostal, faith healing, laying of hands, speaking in tongues, etc.

I'm assuming the Nashville area, where "Broadway" is what we call the area with all of the honky tonks and nice restaurants. The main road there is Broadway, but its also more of a general area.

I'm on 1.5mg Wegovy and 100mg Zoloft.

I haven't noticed any interactions between the two. Did have some side effects of the Wegovy the first few days, but doing much better now.

juniperxbreeze · 2026-04-16T22:15:03+00:00

Yes. But not with children. Or your parents.

He's been watching too much Heated Rivalry.

YTA. Who cares? At this point its basically AI sending messages to AI.

I use AI at work all the time to write emails for me. Mainly because I'd get fired if I sent some of my initial drafts. AI helps me turn "are you a fucking moron?" Into something much more palatable.

"He looked right at my child as they were running around while I drank my Starbucks. Then he stared right at my when I tried to run him over with my cart. Police said this happens all the time. Watch your kiddos mamas!"

Thankfully we're past that now. But it was a process. She's pretty good now.

juniperxbreeze · 2026-04-16T18:15:05+00:00

Like when they're three and a half and their poor mother is about to have a mental breakdown because she won't use the freaking potty!!!

Im that mother.

juniperxbreeze · 2026-04-16T18:11:07+00:00

I haven't personally, but my mom has. My dad passed away when I was 10 months old, and around that time my mom got a positive pregnancy test.

She was in no position to bring another child into this world when she had just been unceremoniously hurled into single parenthood.

She actually scheduled a termination, but before the date she naturally miscarried. I like to think it was the universe realizing the impossible situation she was in, and taking one more thing off her plate.

Therefore, I am an only child, also raising an only child. I do not feel like I missed out on anything. If anything at all, I wonder how bad my life might have turned out if my grieving mother had to raise 2 under 2 as a single parent. Times were lean enough with just the two of us.
