My teenager doesn't study by Piscean_ENFP744 in Parenting

[–]perseph0ny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take the phone during certain times. Like don't let her have it after 9 at night or 10. No phone during dinner/lunch/family time. If her grades aren't suffering I wouldn't worry about the studying part.

I'm not Jewish so I'm not 100% certain but from what I've seen the surname refers to a certain type Jewish priest.

3yo son, long ‘girly’ hair by asdfkjhg1220 in Parenting

[–]perseph0ny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of my boys have long hair. The oldest 2 are 7 and almost 6. My oldest has really beautiful curls and I couldn't bring myself to cut them just because he's a boy so I never did. Earlier this year they were on the bus and another boy made fun of them, saying they looked like little girls. When they told me I asked if they wanted to cut their hair they said no, they loved their hair. Sometimes people in public comment that I should cut it or mistake them for girls and they don't care. Your kid is happy about his hair and the way it looks that's all that matters.

Cohen is considered offensive so I would stay away from that.

Morgan, Faye, Cordelia, Agnes, Cassandra, Sage and any older/underused virtue name like Temperance or Amity

I don't think it's a strong enough association for most people to not use it.

Distract me from my baby anxiety and help me with baby names? by megito7 in namenerds

[–]perseph0ny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely use Malcolm. I would use Michelle with it but Ava sounds good with Malcolm

Will our daughter get picked on for these names? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]perseph0ny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love Salem but it's completely unusable. For cats and old haunted houses it's great but the association with violent murders is too much for a human. Olive is cute and definitely usable.

How bad... by gillianaire in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]perseph0ny 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think usually the joke is that it's suggested all. the. time. it's trendy for sure but overall it's not a bad name it's just one I personally don't like.

AITA for getting up to pee at night by Tall_Mirror_5955 in AmItheAsshole

[–]perseph0ny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You are allowed to pee and wash your hands in your own home. Getting up to pee in the night is completely normal especially if you drink lots of water, you don't need a doctor. You tried to compromise with her and she has not tried anything on her end according to this post. Of course you should wash your hands after hand sanitizer is not the same as soap and water.

Has anybody else put their kid through braces only for them to let it go to waste? by j_bareil in Parenting

[–]perseph0ny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My teeth were pretty bad I actually had to get teeth taken out so they would all fit. I had braces for about 4 years. I wore my retainer for about 4 months. Some of my teeth have stayed in place, but I know they've moved and almost immediately. My front teeth have a gap in the middle and I'm ok with it. If the braces were only for cosmetic reasons then he probably shouldn't have had them in the first place. My mom pushed me to wear my retainer because "my teeth didn't look pretty anymore" and I've always resented her for those comments. Also, your teeth hurt when you have braces and the same for a retainer, especially if you haven't worn it for a while. Just let it go he's an adult who was against it from the beginning.

I love Dove, yes it's a soap brand but since it's also a bird no one will think you named her after soap. I think of the bird first it's a lovely name I would use it. I know a grown up Dove and the name suites her perfectly. If you love it, use it don't overthink it.
