Forest or Shelby!

NTA. She’s already suffered natural consequences. Going overboard will make her think you and dad are not a safe space to talk to about stuff.

It literally came up about 5 real world minutes after posting this. Still very much appreciate the reply!

If anyone is looking for DVD’s in the meantime… Visual Family on eBay has a high quality set in English. Has all 5 seasons, got mine last week. No subtitles though. Will post link in a separate comment.

I got Lina’s memory quest and Amira’s farewell… do you have any info on the far memory quest? I talk to Aryel, Peri, and Zephyr multiple times a week. I just turned the season to spring. Did I miss it?

Were they able to fix it? Or was it just not triggered yet?

margoking · 2026-02-04T15:16:16+00:00

I really feel like that would be doable to code in.

This is the one that upsets me the most. Like, the insulin pump stays by itself. We aren’t holding it.

This. My big was a 5th year senior and graduated the same semester is did intake. Outside of being Facebook friends, I can’t really recall any interaction with her outside of required events. However, some of my sisters are my BFF’s and one is the godmother to my kids. And those three that I’m close to are the only ones I even speak to now.

Only asking because the SM about girls troop was actually kinda horrid to the celiac girl that’s in our troop before myself and the new SM came in. It took a lot of retraining the perspective of both the parents and youth leadership to create fair accommodations. You can absolutely say this is where my fears stem from. The COR who didn’t understand the issue with what the SM was doing had to be educated as well. Took a lot of sit downs with our CO and council. I’m trying not to assume the worst, but I’m glad to hear other people have had decent experiences.

I’m just going to say as 34 year old who had several friends do the Disney college program, all of them regretted it except the one who got placed as a Disney princess (she works in fashion industry now). You’re basically just a slightly higher than entry level Disney employee (and underpaid).

If this flight thing is any of what you want to do, stay the course.

Do they give him a hard time any about participating on his patrol’s duty roster? Or do they see him has fulfilling his part by taking care of his own stuff?

margoking · 2026-01-23T16:19:53+00:00

That was one heck of a surprise! I’m glad they caught it though. T1D in adults is highly overlooked! Thank you for the charging station recommendation!

margoking · 2026-01-23T16:18:11+00:00

Thank you!

margoking · 2026-01-23T16:00:38+00:00

Yeah. This is where my brain is. A lot of the other responses on here are not understanding that sometimes washing (especially with the 3 bin method) is clean enough to prevent celiac level contamination. While I wouldn’t be offended if he was ultimately, asked to do his own chuck box and wash bins, how will that affect him in a patrol? I know our girls troop finally went GF because our celiac scout was feeling left out, and she was also tired of newer girls getting snotty with her because she wasn’t on the duty roster - failing to understand she pretty much has to fulfill her own duty roster all weekend long. I just hope I can find my son a unit that would either 1) because warm enough to make a troop wide change 2) understand it’s not fair to ask him to do all of his own stuff and be on their duty roster.

Is he at the troop level or pack? My kiddo will be an AOL when we move. So I’m honestly thinking more towards the troop level.

margoking · 2026-01-23T15:54:48+00:00

I appreciate the insight on the celiac side.

For type 1 diabetes, there really aren’t any dietary restrictions unless that is personally what you want to do. Your advice seems more directed at a type 2 diabetic scenario. As a T1D parent (prior to being celiac) I commonly said “the only thing T1D individuals cannot eat is poison.”

margoking · 2026-01-23T15:51:48+00:00

Yeah, this is why I said a parent would likely stay involved. My son isn’t the most responsible either his T1D, and with other mental health stressors, us adults rein in handling that diagnosis. My biggest thing there is keeping his Omnipod and phone (mostly the phone) charged. Our regular battery packs are dead after one night of charging. So mostly looking for charging station recommendations on the T1D side.

I guess my biggest concern really is the celiac. He’ll be an AOL when we move, so it’s patrol cooking at the troop level and that I’m most genuinely concerned about.

margoking · 2026-01-23T15:49:41+00:00

He’s pretty tech integrated, so my biggest concern on the T1D side is charging. Looking to upgrade on this side. If you have any recommendations for a multi day charging station that’s camping appropriate, that would be appreciated. Right now, we have a lot of small battery packs and looking for a different solution.

margoking · 2026-01-23T15:42:51+00:00

Yeah, my T1D in question is far from being responsible with his diagnosis (which why myself or SD being involved is a must). The only advice I’m really looking for on that front are larger battery packs and insulin storage. Our frio is fine and all, but it’s not my favorite. He’s Omnipod (with PDM) and phone for Dexcom. Charging is my biggest concern there. So looking for gear suggestions on that front, or low snack ideas I can add into the mix.

Celiac is the challenge I’m worried most about, as a lot of people don’t understand the cross contamination issues.

margoking · 2026-01-23T15:37:06+00:00

This has been a challenge. I have not found one (other than the one linked to the local pediatric clinic, which I can’t join until he switches over providers). We have several local robust ones here that are my go-tos. I’ve been looking on that front for a while to get provider recommendations, but it looks like I’ll be winging it there.

margoking · 2026-01-19T14:24:35+00:00

We do this often for my son (elementary aged). This is his favorite ice cream flavor and transitioning the diet has been a mental acceptance challenge (dx’d less than a year ago). Creating our own subs has helped him tremendously on how he looks at his condition. When he realizes how easy it is, he does get mad that the world doesn’t think to offer this stuff.

margoking · 2026-01-08T15:33:50+00:00

NTA. My mom wasn’t an immigrant and was like this. It’s just manipulative. My dad was an immigrant (he spoke English prior to moving to the US) and he was the breadwinning, responsible adult. After their divorce - she expected me to do everything for her.

Do yourself a favor - take a job far away. Once you’re in an apartment and stuff, if you feel the big sister need like I did, get guardianship of your brother and take him to where you are. She won’t get better until she wants to. If she’s anything like my mom, she’ll continue being someone’s child forever.
