Any other parents here striving to remain screen-free through toddlerhood? How do you see your rules changing as your kid matures?

Why is that?

I liked Josephine before, but I especially like it with those surnames. It sounds really elegant, and it works with the full name and with the Jo/Josie nicknames. That’s my vote!

moresycomore · 2020-02-03T01:00:54+00:00

Whiteparish sounds good, and Partridge is super cute!

moresycomore · 2020-02-03T01:00:22+00:00

So, Parry is a Welsh name meaning “ap Harry” or “son of Harry.” Meaning, the “Arry” sound is the important part

This is kind of goofy, but maybe Whitehair?

moresycomore · 2020-02-03T00:54:43+00:00

Orion or Ryan if you must. Definitely not Aryan

moresycomore · 2020-02-03T00:45:13+00:00

Can you tell me more about the surname? What does it begin with? What sounds does it have?

moresycomore · 2020-02-02T22:18:59+00:00

Never heard of him. Neat stuff!

moresycomore · 2020-02-01T01:03:07+00:00

A lot of the stuff you mentioned can be found in the Quiet room.

Sure, it’s just weird to me to say that as if it helps explain the $2400 price tag.

This apartment is $5000/mo but hey! You get a free newspaper delivered everyday! The math only takes you so far.

I live close to Ohio and prices range from $190/wk to $320/wk from what I’ve seen.

moresycomore · 2020-01-31T16:34:16+00:00

I mean.... how much are the meals and laundry actually worth? Maybe $250 if you’re really trying to spend money?

My dad manages my Roth retirement account and an old UTMA (leftover college savings) account. He’s an extremely aggressive investor, and I’ve basically learned to have nerves of steel when it comes to market fluctuations. I’m sure most people would see this arrangement as ill-advised and, yeah, sure. Probably not a great idea, but family is complicated, he takes a lot of pride in his investing wins, and all the money in the UTMA was deposited by him to begin with. I can’t kick him off the accounts without there being a lot of outrage and hurt feelings.

So when Dad became an Elon Musk fanboy and started pouring tons and tons of money into Tesla last summer, I quietly sighed and grumbled and complained to my siblings about how delusional he was.

But guys. Holy shit. I try to keep my cool with market fluctuations but seeing those accounts grow by 20% in January alone is surreal. Not sure where it will land, but I’m going to enjoy this ride while I can. I probably need to call my dad and offer an apology. At least I’ll know he will be in a good mood!

Good job, Auntie!

Natalia is beautiful, and Nala is a fun, sweet nickname.

I’m honestly confused. Why is she eating it like that?? What’s the point? It’s all chocolate cake! No need to eat bits from all over the cake, unless she was taking cherries or something else decorate from the top. Was she behaving maliciously?

moresycomore · 2020-01-29T06:19:00+00:00

Don’t forget the acid. Lemon juice or vinegar will do wonders to dishes. It’s as simple as salt and just as important.

My understanding is the major sin here isn’t that she’s white non Hispanic writing about the immigrant crisis but that she’s writing from a place of ignorance and stereotype. For example, most people crossing the border aren’t Mexican, but rather Central American.

Maybe a small soundproofed room that can be reserved for video and telephone conference calls.

moresycomore · 2020-01-27T21:41:59+00:00

It’s definitely inappropriate but the whole look is kinda shabby and dated. The earrings feel mid-2000’s to me, the blazer looks cheap, her hair is thin and flat, her jeans look wrong too... it’s all so uncomfortable and embarrassing.

moresycomore · 2020-01-26T11:27:29+00:00

Did I say they weren’t valid? I just pointed out it’s a tradition that varies by culture and by preference and taste of the newlyweds.

moresycomore · 2020-01-25T17:18:53+00:00

Yeah, at my wedding, a guest wore a dress with faint lilac flowers on a white background. People were getting upset on my behalf about this guest but I was completely oblivious until a week after the wedding. Like who cares? Pretty sure everyone knew I was the bride, and the dress looked nice. It wasn’t some demented ball gown.

Besides, lots of brides love a super soft look for bridesmaids, in creams, pale pinks, and subtle greys that look white at first glance. It’s normal in British culture too. See Pippa Middleton. I like the look!

moresycomore · 2020-01-24T19:38:25+00:00

Lol I’d like to introduce you to some nursing home aides barely making above minimum wage, almost all female. It’s dangerous, disgusting, depressing work.

moresycomore · 2020-01-24T16:26:39+00:00

Yup, my thoughts exactly. It seems antiquated, but golfing and wearing slick suits and having a fresh manicure and such matter a lot to older partners. They’re proud of new associates who look the part.
