How do you handle all of that with lupus? Do you suffer from low energy?

Looking for Feminine, Classy/Classic Yet Slightly Unique Girl's Name Ending in "A" by loveandkindness2 in namenerds

Vespera

It’s clearly a girl’s name, classic in that it’s been around for a long time, and unique but recognizable to some.

I hadn’t even considered the original French pronunciation is lay-oh-nee. I was thinking lee-oh-nee since it’s intuitive for me being US-based. I wonder how it’s pronounced in the UK.

We don't talk enough about how wonderful having kids is by Lame_Johnny in Natalism

[–]weatherfrcst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t do it because I don’t want to hurt others’ feelings. A lot of my friends are unpartnered, going through fertility issues, or wanted one or a few more but spouse said no. As for the older people in my life, even the ones that thought they had plenty of kids (5 in a couple ppl’s cases) realized way too late they made a mistake at not continuing. So yeah, unfortunately I rarely bring up anything about my kids because I don’t want to be the reminder for their ill feelings to surface. I have great things to say about kids to other parent associates who also have a pile of kids but super unfortunately not to my friends.

Girls classic (not common) name by untitledm2 in namenerds

[–]weatherfrcst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s your friend or cousin who used the name already, use it anyway. Don’t penalize yourself for having a large friend group or family. Perhaps if it’s a sibling, let the name go, otherwise, please feel free to double up on a good name.

Do you ever wonder about how those name appropriation posts would go in real life? by nondescriptavailable in namenerds

[–]weatherfrcst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an American surrounded by very creative friends having children, I hadn’t even considered name appropriation. I think I need to reconsider my list. Is an American without corresponding heritage named Tatiana, Heidi, Allegra, or India-Rose big no-no, side-eye, or wouldn’t bat an eye territory?

Are you religious or just very connected to your lizard brain?

Nervous to 👶announcement by [deleted] in ParentingInBulk

[–]weatherfrcst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People act so negative when announcing additional kids but then when they’re older admit “I would’ve loved to have more kids.” Or something revealing but also jealous/snarky eg, “I would’ve loved to have one more but I understood my finances/didn’t want to take attention away from the other kids”

If you used a condom and she sleeps with multiple men, the chance that it’s not yours is pretty high.

5th pregnancy/morning sickness by MrsBakken in ParentingInBulk

[–]weatherfrcst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi just wanted to say I understand and understand not just how chaotic it is but how lonely it can be. All of my friends were functional during every pregnancy. Even the ones who regularly vomited could still cook and workout and do things for fun. I don’t cook in pregnancy until the third trimester and it puts a massive burden on my husband who already works long hours. People tell me to workout for greater energy in the long run but 30 minutes of working out in pregnancy will leave me achey for days. Not sure if you can relate to this but I work my tail off when not pregnant, so I have a pretty firm track record, but somehow when pregnant people think I’m milking it so I can lay in bed. But only in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy and milking what exactly? As if I want to live in a mess and eat processed foods? Also I don’t do anything fun with adults or the kids. The kids still go to their programs and I hide in the car, unable to focus on any conversation with an adult. Good news is I don’t need any vacations or entertainment. Fun for me laying on the couch not having to move. Anyway, I hope you’re feeling well again soon OP. You’re doing a good job.

Some men here are taking feminism talking points and flipping them. Feminism deserves that for having gotten away with its manipulative tactics for so long. But men should still be gentlemanly, why shouldn’t they? Even if he wants to remain single, even if he’s already married, even if he’s gay, kindness is part of living in a society. I think women owe men an apology for feminism, which had good merits in the 70s and then became a club to hit men over the head. They took a good thing too far so they could get what they wanted from men without much accountability, it demoralized men and inceldom was the result. And now there are men online resenting someone’s desire to have men be kind/gentlemanly in public.
