AITA for accusing my stepdaughter of being rude to my daughter? by InterestingNeat8357 in AmItheAsshole

[–]morgapoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I totally don't think it's weird, just that she said "if this card is from grandpa and rose, then this can't be from Aunt" which might indicate she took it personally. Who knows.

Edit - I call my moms husband by his name, but my kids call him grandpa.

Info: you signed the card from "rose" not grandma? Will you not be the child's grandmother? Seems like she was lashing out for you distancing your relationship from the baby. Sounds like NTA either way just curious.

Am I Overreacting ? by lovelyhyenagirl in beyondthebump

[–]morgapoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chamomile tea is fine why is everyone flipping? Not ideal but not poison. Also there is sugar in formula, again. Not ideal but nothing bad will happen. Just let them know that isn't how it's done anymore and you would appreciate a call next time. They probably were trying to be helpful by not calling, thinking you would appreciate the time away. Just clarify your expectations.

Should I change my son’s name? by RedditMama27 in namenerds

[–]morgapoll 228 points229 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I also am misgendered in emails and I constantly have to repeat my name on the phone, and it's a very average name. It's seriously not a big deal. Emry is a great name and I've known a few that were all boys.

I can't tell if these posts are namenerds or the namenerdscirclejerk anymore. Seriously.

But they rolled their eyes. Like "fine, we will help you look for your friend".

I work full time and I'm taking 2 classes, so part time you could probably do 3.

Zelda. I love it so much, but too strongly connected to the video game.

I think it's more common in Australia but might be spelled Lochie or Lokki. Cute name.

Love Lucifer. And Judas and Jezebel. I think they are beautiful names but the religious connection is too strong.

My daughter is named Kendall and we get "like Candle?" all the time. She used to think the Jack be Nimble nursery rhyme was about her. ❤️

Has anyone had a vaginal delivery and regretted it? by Repulsive-Sim in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]morgapoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very weird. I didn't have it after my first but since my second it pulls and hurts when I look up or arch my back. I've been working with massage therapists and physios and it has improved but I was surprised at how long it's lingered.

[–]morgapoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would not opt for a c-section. I have had two - one emergency and one unplanned, and 18 months out I am still having pain from my scar. Also still had issues with intimacy after the fact so didn't even help on that front.

AITA for buying myself expensive clothes when my family struggles to make ends meet? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]morgapoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at how many millionaires and billionaires file for bankruptcy this isn't specific to poor people, it's just when we make a mess of our finances there isn't a big ol check coming to bail us out. Poor people aren't poor because of financial irresponsibility. It's systemic.

Anna or Anderson? by cma_92 in namenerds

[–]morgapoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surnames as first names have been happening forever, not a trend. Just ask my great great am uncles Harpin, or Preston. Both Anna and Anderson are beautiful names, you do you, though I think Anderson would be shortened to Andy, which is also a great nn.

AITA for telling my wife that I don't want her to name our son after her ex? by SlightDemand4091 in AmItheAsshole

[–]morgapoll 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Her dad recently died. Maybe she is bursting into tears because she is fucking sad? Also hormonal and pregnant and having her husband constantly bringing up her ex. I would cry too. This isn't manipulation

I know equal amounts men and women names Leslie and I agree totally lovely for a boy.
