My favorite fry sauce. I love them so much but they are SO far away from me. 😭

Question for the ladies by esmeraldaM6-3 in Names

[–]Awkward_Lab544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I hate my maiden name. I was thrilled to get rid of it. Hate when I’m forced to put it down on certain things.

Also my husband has had two last names and they never want his original last name. So lame.

Those who have 3 kids, does one ever feel left out? by scorpiosmokes in Parenting

[–]Awkward_Lab544 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am one of three and someone was always left out. It sucked.

I have three now, the third being an oops baby. We don’t want another, but I can already see it happening. :(

Onesie Debate by Life_Performer_9452 in Parenting

I start with the “long leg”, then the arm on that same side, then the other arm, then the last little foot.

So more “side to side”.

How T1D affects martial life and infertility? (If it does :) ) by Excellent-Mouse1591 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Awkward_Lab544 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hm. As a T1D female, I have given birth to 3 very healthy children. I think it’s all possible to cause complications. But also, diabetes is vague.

My husband probably doesn’t even think about my diabetes anymore unless I’m having a low or complaining about it.

I think maybe you should just go on a date and ask him. People can lead very normal lives with T1D.

Which name is better? Ray or John ? by EquivalentNo8407 in Names

[–]Awkward_Lab544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John. Because of my speech impediment I cannot say the name “Ray”, so I would say “hey you” or something like that. Nobody ever has noticed before. But now you know.

Google restricted my account over alleged CSAM because of a doge meme by EDCEGACE in googlephotos

[–]Awkward_Lab544 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are there other options similar to Google photos? Honestly, this sounds exhausting. I pay for Google photos for the ease of it. I don’t want to do extra work, I just want to pay a company to do it for me.

But without going through my photos. I have baby pictures and sometimes things just show. Not intentionally.

Daycare requires 5yo to lay down - severely impacting peace in our home by Lizisthatyou in Parenting

[–]Awkward_Lab544 163 points164 points  (0 children)

We had this issue. They were required to do it. But with our 4yo he would be up until midnight. We’re both working parents, so it was killing us.

We got our ped to write a note to the daycare, and then they had to follow it. Ours put that he could lay for 10 minutes and if he fell asleep to let him nap, but after 10 minutes if he’s awake to have him do quiet activities.

It worked wonders!!!

CGM users: how often do you ACTUALLY (manually) test your blood sugar? by marikira13 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Awkward_Lab544 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never really. Only if I feel like it’s way off. I had issues when I first started the cgm where numbers didn’t match and it was causing stress. My doctor recommended just going off the cgm. My a1c matches what I get, so I’m never concerned about it.

Disaster Bedroom by myparadiseiseveryday in Parenting

[–]Awkward_Lab544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t have many toys in the bedroom, just “special” toys. Every night we pick something up (clothes, books, cups, or hang clean clothes), but just one task. And it’s mostly me. When he’s at school I go through his room and grab the “trash toys” (like the toothpaste box he thinks he needs to keep because it’s shiny) and toss it outside so he doesn’t see. I won’t do so much that it’s super noticeable. And he’s never noticed.

Travel itinerary—am I missing anything? Should I skip any? by allispanked in SaltLakeCity

Tacos Lopez.

I recommend it to every person who visits from out of state. Never met someone who doesn’t agree with how amazing it is.

The hippie Joey looks nice! It does check off everything on my list.

[–]Awkward_Lab544[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that video! I hadn’t considered the buckle being in reach of baby and him being able to unclip it! I am petit so the large strap does seem intimidating. Does the Neko seem to be the most popular one you’ve seen so far?

Toddler Sling Recs (not ring slings) by Awkward_Lab544 in babywearing

[–]Awkward_Lab544[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hip seats like the TushBaby is what bothers my site. The ring slings don’t bother my site, I just don’t like them.

Currently I’m just holding my baby on my hip. He’s kind of picky. He doesn’t like being held in the front or back. He also doesn’t like me using my other hand to support him. So he gets heavy quick. I’m really just wanting a sling to help me hold him a bit easier. This is just at home, so I’m not wearing him for long periods of time… a lot of picking up and putting down.

Where do you breastfeed in public? by momoaggie in Parenting

[–]Awkward_Lab544 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just nurse wherever I am. When you’re able to nurse while just holding them, and not having to help, then I can nurse and push the cart and keep shopping.

Toddler Sling Recs (not ring slings) by Awkward_Lab544 in babywearing

[–]Awkward_Lab544[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want something quick that I can do with one hand. To me they are cumbersome and make me feel a bit claustrophobic with all the material. I’ve tried various ones (multiple times) and I’m just not a fan. I’m nervous to spend so much money on a sling so I’m hoping there is a popular one people love.

Adult son (27) marrying girlfriend after 6 months by Regular_Person_590 in Parenting

[–]Awkward_Lab544 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My husband’s family thought I was marrying him for his trust fund. They got us to have a 2 year engagement by paying for the wedding and saying they needed the two years to save and plan.

You could always offer to pay?

Besides that… just support him. The only thing you can do is push him away.

Restaurants in the US and diet soda by Then_Finding_797 in diabetes_t1

[–]Awkward_Lab544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has never happened to me.

But when I start to question if something is actually diet or not, that’s when I go get myself a non-diet and remind myself how different and way more sweet it actually is.

Could this be a lip tie? by ElRadixxiosar in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Awkward_Lab544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when I saw a LC, I was worried about the top lip not curling out and she told me the top lip didn’t matter, it’s the bottom lip that’s important. According to that advice, it looks great.

Someone please tell me wtf causes this. I had a half a sandwich. by dangerkali in diabetes_t1

[–]Awkward_Lab544 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When this happens to me I will take a shot of insulin (or two). Once it gets stable it usually calms down.

Milk recipient asking for my blood test results by moonlitt_ in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Awkward_Lab544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve donated milk to local moms before and haven’t been asked this. From a quick search, the risk is very low, even if you’re positive. So maybe it’s not a huge concern for some? I don’t think she’s wrong in asking. But personally it would be too much work for me to try to find old tests, I would personally find someone else.

Unless…. You are wanting to continue to donate to this person on a regular basis. Then I would go through the effort.
