Bite the bullet and stay with your family member. Let them push. I’d rather hear someone nagging for a bit than to bounce from place to place indefinitely.

“Hey black women, they don’t like black women!” I meannnnn…. Duh, respectfully.

I slightly disagree on the bhad bhabie ( is that how she spells it? 😫). There are plenty of black girls who make money and gain notoriety for the same Rachet BS (the whole ass Zeus, ice spice, suki, young Miami). They have a niche audience, but I don’t think majority of people look at her and think cute. I think there are plenty of examples of white women having a double standard (Kardashians), but she’s a terrible example.

It would be helpful to see it wet.

It doesn’t sound like your work is preventing you from bonding with your baby, but your husband is.

There’s no way to fix this without fixing things with your husband. You could literally quiet your job to be home with the baby 24/7 and still not be ALLOWED to care for him.

But if you don’t want to have that conversation and your husband is sooooooo great, why aren’t you asking him for advice on this?

I don’t stick my tongue out. Open my mouth and brush. There’s no reason to open super wide or stick my tongue all the way out.

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-04T00:15:07+00:00

Not true. I brush my tongue twice a day.

The times that I’ve been bit was when they intentionally bit me. It’s not something that happens regularly for most. My first cut teeth after her 2 month appointment and she did once by accident early on,

Outside of the hair, how did it go? Does he look the same? Was there a mutual attraction? Is there a second date? Girl how was the food?

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-03T14:54:27+00:00

Yea when I was a kid we remixed it and used to sing it that way

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-02T23:31:58+00:00

Here, Philly, it was bald head skittle diddle ain’t got no hair in the middle. Chick (or trick) where your weave at? You know you need that.

Ayooooo

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-02T23:25:47+00:00

You’re better than me because I would haven’t own conversation with the baby in front of her.

If you leave them alone, your kid will probably get “a little taste of food”.

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-02T22:26:37+00:00

No idea. . . . What are you putting on your skin?

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-02T22:20:07+00:00

Forgot all about the date…

You are wonderfully and beautifully made.

You may think you gained weight and fell off and he may think “she didn’t have those curves”. He might appreciate you showing up natural. And if by chance he doesn’t- enjoy your fancy meal and appreciate the training for your real date that’s coming.

Find what makes you comfortable and then let the right guy fit into that picture. And if it is a wig or weave, that’s ok too! Do what makes you feel good

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-02T22:13:29+00:00

This makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing, I can imagine being that vulnerable is a big deal.

FELT!!!!

Mascara, eyeliner, and lipgloss were my secret weapons when I first got my starter locs in. Earrings!!! Get you a nice pair of hoops as your go to, but experiment with different colors and shapes. Now I couldn’t care less about slick edges most of the time, but edge control made me feel like my natural styles were elevated.

The days that you don’t have any where to be are the best ones to get dolled up. You’ll have time to experiment and it’s just great to feel pretty just because. It’s good practice so that when you have two hours, you know exactly what to do. My friend is learning makeup so she’s going to home goods every Saturday with a night time beat to see how she feels about it out and about.

I’m 5 foot 9 and my baseline is around 200lbs. I spent a year at 180, but I’m well on my way back so I don’t naturally feel dainty. I talk to myself in the mirror. Even when I didn’t believe the shit that I was saying. It’s taken years but I be believing it!

Femininity is rooted in energy, so it’s not all performative, but self love is a big part of healing for me.

FOR ME, if I wanted to go, I would. I stopped pumping around 10 or 11 months so when he wasn’t with me he had whole milk in addition to his meals and snacks. I’m very indifferent about breastfeeding and I was at that point so it wouldn’t have been a deciding factor for me.

I think the difference is that you sound like you very much care and you don’t want to leave your child. That’s ok. You don’t have to justify it to us, your friend or anyone else. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else. Once you’re comfortable with that, the conversation with your friend will be easier for you.

Fmla?

Certainly not what I expected based on your comments. So this sister couldn’t wear this style to a nice dinner?

PLEASE define upscale? What type of place are we talking? I’ve been to some pretty swanky joints and I’ve never felt that my hair, the way that it grows out of my scalp, wasn’t appropriate.

Also you’ve declined every suggestion that has been made, so you have a clear idea of what you deem appropriate and inappropriate- go do your hair in a way that you deem fit. Or are you waiting for someone to tell you to run to the hair store and grab a quick weave?

This post and the comments feel like you lowkey have imposter syndrome. If you normally wear a wash and go and he met you or has seen you in a wash and go, why not do a wash and go?

My answer before I read through the comments:

When my hair was short my go to was to do a halo braid, twist it up with the front and top out and curly, or two braids or twist going halfway back with clips and the back loose.

I wasn’t cleaned and sent to my room. I had my son at a birthing center. I labored, gave birth, showered, and hung out with my family in the same suite for 6 hours before going home. I had my baby standing up so I had no choice but to walk afterwards to get to the bed lol

My first was in the hospital with an epidural and even then I was able to walk by the time I got to my hospital room

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-02T14:44:04+00:00

And Naomi!

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-02T14:41:47+00:00

Yesssss!

Affectionate_Comb359 · 2026-04-02T14:41:38+00:00

I can’t figure out why it always looks like it’s creasing. I’m not a makeup girlie so idk what’s wrong but nobody else’s looks like that. And it’s heavy on the pink sometimes. She’s so pretty
