Why do so many young parents want their kids to have unique names? Do they know that having a unique name doesn't make them a unique person? I'm lucky enough to have a name unique enough that I never have to go by my last initial but normal enough that I've never been bullied for my name. That is the ideal sweet spot for names IMHO. Sometimes, your kid gets bullied for their name because of things out of your control. I would never begrudge somebody naming their daughter Isis or Katrina before the events that made those names taboo. But at the same time, is there anything wrong with naming your son George and your daughter Beth? Your name will not determine your fate. Having a boring name won't ruin somebodies life, but having a weird name just might. Someday, the world may be filled with Amethysts and Bartholemews, but today is not that day.

    Font - 30 || Name girl help please! My first daughter's name is Yellow. I am a visual artist and love color names and I would love to stick with the theme. My husband doesn't love any of my name suggestions: Lavender, Blue, Fuschia and Purple. 2 There are two names we both love but I believe they don't work for us and I'd love your opinions: - Snow: that was the only other name I considered for my daughter. She was also born in an incredible snow storm so it would have been nice. However having

    Font - WTF? So you mean he acted like a baby Hi moms, Just wanted to vent here bc I felt like a "failure" today taking our 7.5 months old to a restaurant for the first time. He didn't eat much, which is what I expected as he hasn't been at home. However, he was fussy - didn't wanna sit in the highchair, trying to grab everything on the table (napkins, forks, knives) n ended up dropping everything. I had to hold him on my lab the entire time. He did ended up eating some strawberry and eggs. Today

Anyone know if this kettle is safe to use after I clean it out, or is it best to get a new one because of the potential battery exposure? C cen ACKALINE BA DURACELL DURACELL ngשכ113.

    Font - So this morning. I was blow drying my 9 year old daughters hair.. she has short hair like a bob cut with bangs the same length... anyways.. so I'm blow drying it cause we're running out of time for school cause normally she would do it.. I look down at her and she's crying. I ask what's wrong and she said "you're blowing air in my face" I looked at the blow dryer and it was set on cool/ warm... so I know it wasn't burning her face. Are kids really becoming that sensitive now days? Or am I

    Font - ||| I'm Gen X, and I have a huge problem with how I am left carrying the weight for millenials. For example. I'm 42 and my daughter is 22. She decided a while ago she does not want any kids. She's actually getting a procedure for sterilization next year. But those souls needing to come into our family for ancestral or karmic reasons still need to be born. So I'm stuck birthing and raising two babies who should have been born to her but can't be because she's too selfish to have kids. We j
