I [23/F] exploded at my mom [50s/F] over my name, it’s causing a lot of drama and mess My parents are “creative” types. My 3 siblings (2 younger brothers and a younger sister) and I all have “creative” names. I’m named after a reptile, my sister (19) is named after a part of the brain, my brother (17) is named after a fish, and my youngest brother (16) is named just a weird name- but he’s got the most traditional name of us all. We all hate our names- we talk about it plenty. Most of us have gone by nicknames our entire lives, and I know I plan to change my name before I get married. My mom and I don’t get along very well, we butt heads a lot, but my sister is a mama’s girl and has never gone by a nickname because my mom says it’s “disrespectful” to the name she was given. Which, again, my sister hates. My brothers are closer to my dad (as am I), but my mom has like a “dominant personality”, so they listen to her and respect her. I don’t. My mom runs from her responsibilities, calls it hands off parenting, and doesn’t give any of us a shred of the respect she wants us to give her. Sure, sometimes I like her, but I haven’t loved my mom for a while. I tolerate her and I do what I need to do to maintain contact with my siblings, but no, I don’t love my mom. I could go into all our issues, but I won’t. It’s not the point. I got serious with my boyfriend recently, and he wanted to meet my family. Of course, I got talked into spending a whole week with them, starting on Saturday. I only agreed because my parents are both still working and my mom facilitates extracurriculars afterschool (she’s a teacher). They live in a nice area, so I figured we could do other things. On Tuesday, we decided to have a family dinner because it was the one night my mom wasn’t busy. It was the first time we’d had a real conversation since I was in college, and she kept calling me by my real name. Everyone at the table was using my nickname. My boyfriend has only ever called me by my nickname- I keep my real name under wraps, although I did plan to tell him before I went to change it. I seriously hate my name that much. Of course, he got curious and started asking what my mom was talking about thinking it might be some kind of nickname because I’m named after a literal REPTILE. And she starts going on about how she slaved over baby name lists, how she had a stroke of inspiration while at the zoo, how much the name meant to her, and how selfish I am to go by a nickname. I just exploded. I told her how much I hate my name, how humiliating it is, and how selfish she is to have given us all names that got us bullied and harassed. I kept going and talked about how much I can’t stand her, how she treats her students like more of her children than she treats me like her kid. It was just complete word vomit, and my mom started crying, my dad kicked me and my BF out without any of our stuff. We don’t have any clothes. My dad and my mom won’t let us come to the house- they threaten to call the cops- and won’t even toss our bags onto the street so we don’t even have money or our tickets back home. Hell, the only reason I have my phone and charger is because I grabbed them from the kitchen on the way out. My siblings are “forbidden” from seeing me, but I got a text from my brother saying that our mom has been interrogating them about whether or not they think she’s a bad mom and telling them they should all change their names. She flipped out when my younger brother said he didn’t mind going by his name, and went on a rampage about how she made us all targets and all this poo poo that was totally true but she was obviously trying to make them disagree with? Our dad is totally taking it, and even participates. They’re on this warpath and it’s my fault and my siblings are miserable. I also can’t get home, so I’m staying with a friend of mine for the indefinite future. My boyfriend is being a complete trooper and I’m grateful to have him, but I know this is putting a lot of wear on him. Basically- how do I get this to a place where I can get my parents to chill out so it doesn’t get worse for my siblings? And how do I get home? How do I just make this better? Is it worth it to talk to my mom? TL;DR: I blew up at my mom, she’s gone on a complete rampage EDIT: I’m going to get in touch with police, but since people are curious- I’m Chameleon, my sister is Sulci, my brother is Guppy (he goes by G.H. - his first and middle initials), and my youngest brother is Upton (like the author- he goes by Tony).

I recently read an article about how parents who give their children really weird names are narcissists with no sense of empathy. They give no consideration to the person who will have to go through life with that name.

Girls are much more likely to get goofy names than boys, and I've always suspected it's because their parents are bad at imagining their daughters to grow up to be supreme court justices and stuff. They'll just say tiny and cute forever so why not name her Bitsy!

My mother is a narcissist who abuses me by making me clean my room, my boyfriend is forty years older than me and keeps calling me by his granddaughter's name, also all of us are supertasters. Breaking up is NOT an option.

It is because he loves the pizza that he hates to see it so wasted, I empathize with him. edit: You could actually store them as long you didn't care about them keeping their original shape. Reform them into pizza cubes and you can fit more than you think.

It's one of the most hosed up things they can do. "Gee, I just brought my little angel into the world. What should I do to show that I will always love this bundle of joy forever? Oh, I know! I'll name you after a tiny fish!" If you can't fully suppress the autism/sadism responsible for this poo poo, at least be decent enough to put it as the middle name. Hell, the mom could have named her kid "Karma Chameleon."

Is it wrong to be concerned with the amount of sexual partners my (40F) son (18M) seems to be having? He seems to have a new girlfriend every week, sometimes more. I am not really sure how to deal with this anymore.quote:My son is a handsome kid, and always has been. At 18, he could pass for 23 or older, and we always figured that he would have a few girlfriends or be the popular kid. But recently, its been getting out of hand. I give him SOMEWHAT permission to have friends or girls over to the basement. I always know when people go down there (we can hear him sneaking them in through the backyard). Mom stop cockblocking your son.

They'll just say tiny and cute forever so why not name her Bitsy! I think way too much about names for characters, pets and Pokemon, so I'm already shortlisting names for when I have a kid of my own in a couple years. I try to think of names that will age well, and can also be shortened or have an opportunity for a good nickname. A name that is uncommon enough to be distinct and memorable, but not too ".weird". I might give them a weird middle name though. Like Persephone or Adonis. Those are names that can be embraced or ignored depending on preference.

He (21M) keeps drinking all of my (21F) whiskey!!quote:My best friend bought me a large bottle of Fireball. We always do nice, quirky things for eachother. And I was so thankful that she went out of her way to do something for me, like she's always thankful for what I do for her. After all, she's my best friend. We have everything in common, including our first names. I'm looking through the comments to see if anyone has criticized them for their taste in alcohol. I did see someone point out that she clearly also has a drinking problem and seems less upset about his consumption level and more about not being able to do the same.
