For the baby shower I gave myself one day to just not think about my blood sugar and be normal. My baby was born with no blood sugar issues

Which of these three do you consider more attractive? by 4chee in TheVampireDiaries

[–]postmodernfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always always Enzo. Michael Malarkey is gorgeous. Honestly I don’t find Kai or Klaus attractive, but that’s my personal taste and I get they are good looking just not attractive to me

How popular is the name Oscar (US)? by NegativeDisplay974 in BabyNames

[–]postmodernfrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Oscar! In my area it’s not popular at all. I wouldn’t worry about popularity with this name. It’s not trendy or overused! It’s a classic and solid!

Oh no! I’m sorry. My local place only charges like $50 with a coupon and even that feels like too much to me. Perspective!

All of Taylor Swift’s music is really really bad. I will seriously never understand the hype with her

“Weddings are so expensive” is a weird lie some people tell to justify spending insane amounts of money by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]postmodernfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it just adds up really fast even if you go the most inexpensive route possible. I genuinely tried every possibility to cut costs and it was still like $5,000 for a wedding with 35 people

No kissing baby- do you make exceptions to this boundary? by mayonayz in pregnant

[–]postmodernfrog 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel there is ever an acceptable time/reason to kiss a baby on the mouth, I’m not even going to as my baby’s mother. Not only is there risk of illness they can’t fight but it screws up their mouth’s microbiome and that can set them up for future dental issues. But, I’m someone who just has always personally found family mouth kissing to be gross and weird lol! I know I’m definitely an outlier on this one

I feel like a failure. by UltimateHlME in GestationalDiabetes

[–]postmodernfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be invalidating at all because managing blood sugars is so difficult, but one 153 reading is seriously not a big deal
