Liz CA Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) See avatar photo. My favorite book series ever! I devoured those as a child! I still have editions in both languages I grew up with. They were obviously popular all over the globe. Edited March 1, 2011 by Liz CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Anna Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I LOVE this idea...and it would work for me since I have one child...but what do they call you if you have 2. Or 10? First born rules or what? Actually, as I understand it, it's your eldest son. If you don't happen to have a son, then it's your eldest daughter. I've been sort of glad that I didn't have a son after having a daughter because I would feel dreadful changing my name - as if my son were more important than my daughter or something. (The culture is traditionally male-dominant.) I think attaining the title of Mama _______ or Baba _______ (for the fathers) is sort of like finally growing up. People will listen to you because you are now a responsible adult with a family of your own. (Well, in a perfect world!) The short answer is (in this family, at least) first-born rules!

stephanier.1765 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Mine has none. It's just a basic user name that I've used since the very first day I ever used the Internet many years ago. And because of that, I never have to worry that I'll forget what it is. Boring but practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
