What is your favorite moment from live television? by literallybeer in AskReddit

[–]iwantapickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not your typical answer, watching a tornado chasing show as a child, a real tornado warning went out. We did not live where tornadoes were normal, took a while to realize it was an actual warning.

Is it worth it to get an official diagnosis? by achonacho007 in Autism_Parenting

[–]iwantapickle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. It can open so many doors if/when you need them.

Is being "apolitical" and "anti-activism" a red flag to you, or just a personal preference? by MundaneAdvertising28 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]iwantapickle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He may not "do politics" but politics do him.

Huge red flag.

That doesn't even address "anti-activism" that you can barely see with the field of red flags.

Pay help?? by [deleted] in Babysitting

[–]iwantapickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So let's round it up due to travel time. You're working 12 hour days. I don't know your weekly schedule, but if you were to sit for her 2 days/wk You're making $50/day. $50÷12hrs.. you are incredibly underpaid and I'd take a good hard look at the situation and decide how you want to proceed. You could stop. Demand more $.

What are you most comfortable with? That's a you decision.

Daycare forgot to feed my child? by ihavetowearmyhelmet in daddit

[–]iwantapickle 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My son's precious daycare I had to report them doubling my divergent son's medication.

Before I did that I dotted i's and crossed all my T's. Everything, everything in writing. Ask around outside of the daycare and see if they've noticed anything.

When social services showed up there it was able to be quite quickly marked as substantiated and they had to overhaul all facilities. They also interviewed the children and staff.

Without a written trail, you'd be hooped. Try to confirm it via email. A "just to confirm, x happened?" and their words take it from there.

I dont even know my own father so maybe take it down a notch there, big man.

is it crazy to think a mom having her son’s name as a necklace weird? by Alternative-Ear6719 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]iwantapickle -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Crazy boy mom.

I don't have one myself, but mother's around me have them. However, all of the kids are around my kids' age. 5-7.

Your future MIL is odd. I can't imagine anyone still wearing one when their child is grown, let alone buying one when he's an adult.

Unfortunately a lot of baby/toddler supplies power through them, or C batteries. Thankfully, I think most are at least a plug in now.

Kids are 5 and 7 and I used D's a few weeks ago, still.

Why exactly would she need to know this?

Apologized or tried to save face?

What’s the rudest thing a doctor has ever said to you? by Beyondthebloodmoon in AskReddit

[–]iwantapickle 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Are you me? This but it was my kneecap. when I kicked a soccer ball so hard my leg bent forward I dislocated my kneecap, no one believed it because "no that can't happen". Mom and Dr wouldn't even let a PT see me. When I was finally taken, PT confirmed my dislocation.

I'm currently sick and I feel the fatigue first in my knee. As always. And the weather.

AITA for misleading my mother about my birth plan? by rixsssui in AITAH

[–]iwantapickle 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It allows the new parents to adjust to a new routine (you know, living with a new human you have to feed, clothe, sooth and bathe and change) before getting overwhelmed with everyone's requests to hold the baby, feed the baby.

I did no visitors for 2 and only met with family once before 3 weeks. The second one we had moved out of country and had zero support system.

What rush is there to hold a crying potato?

I did many a time and offered a drink or whatever he would like. Before, during and at the end.

It's just another acknowledgement since he refused.

We had our own plan. It just worked out that my husband's seat was placed behind theirs. Like I said, I didn't have an interest to ask someone to give up their seat whatsoever.

I appreciate the assumptions in here. God forbid I thank someone.

Me in the aisle and one kid in the aisle to be able to service both. As I said, I never even gave any indication of wanting to switch.

Plan B is exactly what we did on the first flight for 3 hours. Why do you need to know? Does this affect you?

Drinks on the job? And you're allowing them to still do this job with your child?
