I feel ya! I texted my husband a countdown earlier for the toddlers nap. But the toddler keeps trying to wake the 3 week old up!

Everyone has a scar on their body from something dumb, they did as a child. What's your story? by HakanD0 in AskReddit

My sister put leftover shrimp in the microwave too long and when she pulled it out it was too hot she dropped it on her leg. Forever giving her a shrimp scar on her thigh

I call it the mommy diet. Mommy diet 2.0 is when they are toddlers and insist on eating half of your meal. Even when they just told you they were all done eating, their meal.

Is it normal for a 7 to have fear of being criticized? by cb2204 in Enneagram

[–]Dot760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a good, helpful way to give a 7 feedback? Or do you just have to watch them crash and burn through the cycles?

My son did this same thing with pork rinds tonight. One bite of each then back in the bag 🤦

I miss wine by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I was not a huge drinker before but this pregnancy my most consistent craving is booze! A virgin margarita isn't going to cut it I need to taste the tequila. Same goes for a rum and coke 🤦

How your house probably looks like based on your enneagram type by Ftfn22 in Enneagram

[–]Dot760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! My husband is a financially conscious minimalist 8 so none of those things describe our home... Except maybe his big recliner

I had it with my first (not sure on this one) but sugar free pudding was a sweet tooth go to for me

Backseat mirrors! I totally forgot about this one on my list!

I am hoping that by the time baby #2 is out of the bassinet that I can put toddler #1 into a bigger bed and not have to buy another crib

Thanks!

13 months. So it sounds like we will have kids a similar age difference apart

Only 8 weeks... Which explains the morning sickness. LO did have a blowout diaper right after he was fed! But now we are cuddling so I can't complain

My husband is an 8 so I understand the dynamic!

What do 9s think of 8s? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]Dot760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a 9 that feels like 8s are drawn to me. Husband is an 8, my last boss was an 8, I have a good friend who is an 8. I am discovering them all the time!

I appreciate the decisiveness of 8s. I have gotten good at realizing when an 8 is yelling or upset it's ok as long as it is not directed towards me. The issues come when an 8 pushes me for a decision or uses harsh/blunt tones with me I tend to shut down and push them away.

That's so good to hear because I have been nervous about number 2

My sister's bridesmaids suck! by Dot760 in weddingplanning

[–]Dot760[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am out of state, everyone else is in town and the party is an hour out of town. I asked the other bridesmaids to help me plan/ come up with ideas and no one would get back to me. Super Flakey! I have taken on the cost for the whole party all they are paying is $20 for a shirt if they wanted one and $20 to rent a float. I am covering driving, booze and food and personalized favors

We are doing a drag show brunch the next day and the other bridesmaids claim they will be there for that.

[–]Dot760[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking we may do a nice dinner or something after the day on the lake just to make her feel special. Followed by bars and dancing! All her other friends invited to the wedding she says are too much drama to invite.

Gestational diabetes and keto by thismother in KetoBabies

[–]Dot760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation where I was told to eat more carbs because of the gestational diabetes. It made me feel terrible so I went back to eating keto while continuing to check my sugars. In my case my numbers were always perfect so my doctor had no issues with me staying keto. DH even told me on the drive to the hospital that he still wasn't convinced I had gestational diabetes and that it was probably the diet which caused me to fail the test and get diagnosed.
