HelpRe: Everest
in reply to a message by Link
Oh dear, I can hear the high school jokes now...'Hey, dude, did mount Everest last night?' Rolls eyes. Other than that, if she's a big girl, she'll have even more Mt. Everest/mountain comments to deal with. :(

Well, I hadn't thought of all that. It's now officially a terrible name for a girl =)

You'd think I sat around thinking of possible ways to tease a name (maybe I do....), because I can usually come up with something. Watch, I'll probably end up naming my children something that can be obviously teased but it escapes me at the moment. :b (Then again, just because a child doesn't have a "teasable" name doesn't mean he/she won't be teased, for a name or something else altogether. I know. :-/)

True. It's difficult to protect them from everything, but we can at least try =)

You know, it really may not be in a child's best interest to "protect them from everything." Kids need to learn how to deal with stuff, and overprotectiveness can be a very negative influence on a child's sense of self-efficacy.

True dat.
yes, I agree.
I mis-spoke yet again. I meant we(as parents) can WANT to protect them from everthing, but acting on that WANT (being over-protective) leads to the troubles you mentioned.
