OT Randomness
My sister is in a seriously effed up situation. I have tried helping her make arrangements to leave. She keeps saying she's going to leave. She won't. The week before last my son witnessed a mild domestic confrontation between her and her boyfriend. So I put in him after school care somewhere else. She is upset with me. She didn't even tell me about it. My son did. He told me he saw her boyfriend push her. I wouldn't have left him in her care either way but I think I would have handled it better if she had told me rather than my DS6 telling me about it. I came completely unglued. If she wants to live an effed up life that's up to her but she is not going to expose my son to that crap. I also told her if she needs me to come get her and the kids to call but other than that she doesn't get to complain about how awful her situation is since she allows it to continue. I tried to reach out to her but got a cursed out because she's losing money because she's not watching my son anymore. I don't want her to feel like I'm abandoning her because I'm not. I love her but she allows this craziness to continue.
If you give your child a traditional name with an effed up spelling and you do not inform me of your "creative" spelling you do not get to be pissy with me when I tell you I can't find his record in the system. She tells me her kid's name is Michael but does not tell me it's spelled Mykkul. When I tell her I can't find it she got an attitude and said "You're probably spelling it wrong." Yea because Mykkul would be my first guess at how it's spelled.
A friend of mine that still has my ex on her page told me he posted this status on FB about how he's going to stop trying to put himself out there because all he does is get f*cked over and hurt blah blah blah. She of course knows all the crap he put me through so she was like "KARMA". Is it bad that I don't care? I used to get a little bit of pleasure out of seeing people that treated me like garbage get effed over now I just don't care. I wanted to tell her that I don't care but I didn't want to be rude.

It's worse than I thought.
It's worse than I thought. When she gets mad she won't walk away. So she keeps texting me and trying to call me. So I asked her what really happened last year when I brought her to the ER for falling down the stairs. (It really is believable her basement stairs are treacherous) Turns out her lovely boyfriend kicked her in the chest and threw her across the room and that's how she cracked her sternum and twisted her knee. If he had hit my son, the police would be involved but I'm sure they'd be taking me away. My cousin bumped my DS(18 months at the time) in the butt with his foot and caused him to fall down a step (my aunt has a sunken living room) and I put him up against a wall DH had to pull me off him. Something in me snapped. If he hit my kid I would snap. I would probably end him.
I don't get the odd spelling
I don't get the odd spelling thing for names. To each their own but I would be afraid it would hurt the kid later when it comes time to submit resumes and such for jobs? People will judge when they see an odd name... even if they shouldn't.
i dont get the spelling thing
i dont get the spelling thing either, what i find funny is when the parents just lump together a bunch of random letters (or at least that's what it looks like). i think "hmm. have fun teaching him/her how to write it!" or "have fun consoling your kid when they get picked on for school cuz the teacher butchered their name the first week."
I really don't get the
I really don't get the spelling thing either. It's not cute. I agonized over what to name DS. I didn't want it to be weird or for people to be able to tease him. And these crazy people give their kids these crazy names or worse they get creative with the spelling and that follows them for the rest of their lives.
Unusual is not the same as
Unusual is not the same as weird. I wanted DS to have a name that wasn't weird but also couldn't be in the top ten and if I could help it top twenty baby boy names. I hated the fact that in my graduating class there were 11 other people with the same first name. I'm sure the Michael's and Johns had it worse but still.
People misspell my SS's name
People misspell my SS's name all the freaking time and it's spelled traditionally LOL. The most memorable names I've come across were Yureeka, Jadahsia, Mykkul, and VaGyna(poor child)
I always figure the parents
I always figure the parents who do the effed up spellings simply can't spell.
My DD17 has a traditional
My DD17 has a traditional Gaelic name. 4 letters, and not difficult to say. They can look right at her and call her a guy's name that sounds SORTA like her name.... I correct them very quickly, repeating her name twice. Some days I think I should have switched her first and middle names.
My name is a very traditional name, but instead of an "i" there's a "y". I'm used to people spelling it incorrectly, but at least they get the pronunciation right.
