[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so exhausted every day: work, teens, their drama, house chores...None of it is fun. My teens are generally ok but rotten teen attitudes at times especially from ds, so any moment not spent at work is spent dealing with teen moods, schedule, cleaning, cooking. I hate it all and there is zero fun to my life. I feel like it is never ending.[/quote]

Wow, did I write this? Because I feel this SO hard.

I'm about to go on cooking/kitchen clean up strike because no one wants to clean up after I cook. And half the time there's grumbling about the meal. I'd like to start cooking for one and let them figure the rest out. But I have one kid with T1 diabetes so I really can't.[/quote]

Fellow T1d parent here. I don’t know how old your T1d kid is, but maybe you can teach your kid to make a few simple meals and always have ingredients for at least one of those meals on hand. Tape a paper with carb counts to the inside of a cabinet so they don’t have to guess or rely on memory. The kid might not get it 100% right, especially at first, but my t1d learned best in the moments she got it wrong, and the Dexcom kept things from getting dire. (She’s a teenager now and fairly independent food-wise.)

If your kid likes eggs and/or egg salad, I highly recommend the egg Dash. $20 on Amazon. Makes flawless hard boiled eggs safely and with the press of a button. You can walk away and forget about it, too. I recommend the Dash for everyone, honestly, but it’s been especially essential for my T1d. [/quote]
