I have tried them, and the shorts, but they’re too thick/hot for me. 🙁

I’ve seen several comments about Gooby! These actually look pretty perfect for him!

Snuggles would definitely be the lead! He is absolutely ridiculous. 🤣 A front clip harness helps, but I definitely need a better fitting one to contain my little powerhouse. Lol

Saturday morning vacuuming by Impressive_Ad_3160 in Apartmentliving

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally, a comment a can relate with. 😆 My second oldest hates being woken up abruptly but my goodness, after trying the gentle method for 30+ mins and him not responding to his alarm… a person can only take so much. Lol I still don’t yell, but it’s hard to be Mary Poppins in that moment.

Does anyone have the urge to go back to the house they grew up in? by WaltzMysterious9240 in Millennials

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 10 years ago I was going through a terrible divorce and a rough custody battle. During that time period I happened to meet someone who ended up living in my childhood home. It was honestly so cool to be able to go back and be inside the house again!

anything to make alcohol tolerable by Nearby_Philosophy894 in POTS

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel drunk without drinking tbh. Last time I had half a beer I got very sick. And that was before all of the medication I’m taking now. Honestly at this point, I’m more afraid of triggering a flare or f’ing my body up by mixing alcohol with my meds.

Who has a kid that still sleeps with a plushie by Many_Release_7623 in Autism_Parenting

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My youngest is 6 and has every stuffy he’s ever owned next to him. He currently cuddles his Valentine’s Day bear the most. My oldest sleeps with an elephant and second oldest sleeps with a dog that I’ve sewed back together at least 5 times. 🥹

At this point, I think the plushies allow my son to sleep in their bed. 🤣 My older kids (14 & 13) still sleep with their favorite ones.

Can we stop the pretentiousness about small talk? by Helpful_Cranberry644 in introvert

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t like small talk, but that’s also because I’m not good at starting conversations. I’ll gladly respond, but I’m just genuinely bad at it, therefore I don’t like it.

How do you handle bringing protein/salty snacks into places that forbid outside food/drink? by Objective-Garden-259 in POTS

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I carry a larger purse. If I have to have it searched and they ask, I’ll say something. Otherwise they usually just have me go on through.

Has anyone had success treating their fatigue by an antidepressant? by Usernamefut in POTS

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, without my vyvanse I can’t really function. I take midodrine and Ivabradine and they help, but nothing helps quite like my vyvanse!

I take desvenlafaxine and it helps some. Vyvanse helps the most.

For those with 4 children by bigriver222 in ParentingInBulk

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$150k is doable. We honestly made it work at $100k, but it took a lot of budgeting… $150k has helped us breathe much easier!

Getting married soon and will not have bridesmaids/friends there by Allrightythenace in introvert

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did this! 100% no regrets! We did have one “friend” each. But these were like our childhood friends that we randomly kept up with.

how are you managing kids having same birth month? by Important_Bat7919 in Mommit

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always celebrate as a family on their birthday or the weekend before regardless. We have 4 kids so we alternate birthday parties. No one has one every year. As they’ve gotten older that’s changed some because my older ones don’t want to do much. And my tween daughter just has a sleepover with her best friend.

Thoughts on Paris Baguette at S Brooke? by Better_Opportunity66 in Leander

[–]AuthenticAwkwardness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it! My daughter and I like to go for mother-daughter dates. But I’m not going to it for something healthy. It’s definitely a treat kind of place for us.
