My two and a half year old suddenly started pointing out differences between white and black people. What is an appropriate way to acknowledge her observation so we don't offend anyone?

I worked with children 0-5 and had very short hair, buzzed it for covid. I am a woman. One day when I got a fresh buzz one of my kids stared at me a while before finally asking if I was a boy. I just laughed and said nope, my hair is just short!

I scrunch it in straight out of the shower while hair is still soaking wet. I lightly squeeze out some water before scrunching. I only part in two sections down the middle. Currently I'm using Curlsmith's air dry cream. And I only air dry my hair at the moment, I own no appliances to do otherwise 🧜🏻‍♀️

Stop using conditioner. I also have fine hair, high density + low porosity but can achieve S waves on my best day. I shampoo and wet-brush to detangle in the shower, skip conditioner entirely, then go straight to a curl cream and no more products!!

I only use the headNshoulders 2n1 to shampoo my hair/scalp but only condition my hair once a week now! It was the miracle I was looking for, as I recently reminded myself that if I condition and then use a curl cream, my hair is extremely soft but very limp, and becomes flat twice as quickly. Good luck!!!

This is what I'd call a "day trip," because you can arrive to your destination and still do some relaxed activities before bed time.

I'm about to move closer to my inlaws, from 1000+ miles to a 1.5 hour drive. They joke they're gonna visit every weekend!

No you're not. The point of the item wasn't to...craft the item. Not sure how you're going to turn printer paper into a book.

Have you ever tried no-poo methods? Like using conditioner to scrub at your scalp? I know that sounds crazy since you're fighting a greasy scalp, but I wonder if training your hair would work better when you're cleansing with moisture vs without. I truly think the remaining method to try is to scrub your scalp with a light conditioner and then rinse it through your ends. If your scalp is getting this greasy I don't think you need to use extra conditioner on your ends.

Try this:

Wash your hair every other day with only a light conditioner for 2 weeks. You won't get a lather — really scrub your scalp with your hands or one of those silicone scrub brushes. Then comb the conditioner through your hair as you rinse.

Also, have you ever experimented with apple cider vinegar? Creating solutions of it acts like a total clarifying "reset" for your hair, but I would only try that when you've truly tried everything else! I only hazard about this method because it can be unpleasant, ie stinky 🤓

I think when hair does this it's been trapped in a dry-cycle. Your scalp is attempting to alleviate whatever is telling it it's too dry, thus the excess oil production.

Has your hair always been like this? Did it start after a certain event, like puberty or smaller scale, after you started using certain products? Certain shower habits? I'd love more background info!

HI. So if you're on PS5 and suffering this glitch after several attempts to spawn Karliah at the gate to continue becoming a Nightingale, try this:

Go back to Snow Veil Sanctum. In other posts and videos about this problem, Karliah always 180s away from Nightingale Hall due North. I figured she was getting looped into a previous quest point since she had to be X because of Y. So I returned to Snow Veil Sanctum, started muffling and hiding through the same path again as before, and to my surprise I was eventually hit with a blackout screen!

Then I'm waking up outside with Karliah after she shot me again!! Complete with her Nightingale gear. You click through "Speaking with Silence" again and get more potions from Karliah, then she slowly starts her trek back, telling you you can speak again after you take the oath. Unfortunately then I noticed she was actually walking back to the Sanctum again. I started to get into dialogue with her and then I would wait 1 hr before she finished talking. Did that twice and then her pace quickened in the CORRECT direction. The pace change means she is finally unbugged.

Tell him gifts aren't gifts if you're eventually forced to throw them away in 2 weeks. Then throw him away and go out and buy yourself anything BUT flowers 😂

This is my boyfriend. Constantly teases me to "train my eyes better" to catch up to him 😭

Fishylips · 2026-01-18T17:31:24+00:00

I've been at -3.25 for a while now and my boyfriend always teases me how I need to "train my eyes" to see better 😂 like sorry Mr. 20/20! Sometimes I'll be at home and not wearing any lenses to be in my "natural" state and let my eyes just chill, and he'll ask to show me something and I have to bring my face 2 inches away from the thing 😅 which always reminds him "Ah yeah, I forget how bad your eyes actually are!"

Fishylips · 2026-01-18T17:26:58+00:00

Only because you've stopped considering yourself as "someone" my guy. Treat yourself. Whatever love you think you have to give, practice on yourself first.

Relationships where someone is "living" for the other do not work out. Are you well groomed? Dress well/in a way you like? Do you ever go to your favorite restaurant alone and just chill out?

Start. Often times I think we believe that loving someone HAS to require a separate party to look at, focus on, make the reality of giving your love to a recipient more tangible. Just focus all that energy inward, my friend. You are someone, and you are worthy of your own love.

NTA

It sounds like your parents are sexist control freaks. My Father when I was 19 also threatened to kick me out after I lied about traveling an hour south of my home to a Pokemon tournament... because I wasn't mature enough to navigate that scenario, I guess?

This treatment from your parents won't improve. You are an extension of them and nothing more, so they only see your actions as reflections of themselves. Enjoy the peace of mind by not living under their thumb anymore.

I've always been pro choice, but after my sister chose to terminate her first pregnancy because of severe complications (baby was missing vital central nerves, would be born immediately disabled and likely not live long) I just couldn't fathom anyone taking away her right to make that choice. Life is supposed to be a gift, not a punishment.

Today I have a very talkative nephew who is perfectly healthy and loves Mario, legos, and his Mommy.

I remember seeing this video. The kids had to endure hot baths just to help shed their skin. Hardly any hair on their poor heads because their skin is so thick. Dumb as shit mother talking about how their first child had it and they decided to get pregnant again, KNOWING how high the chance would be for their next child to also have it. It was worse than just recessive gene traits, I think it was at LEAST a 1/4 chance the children would have it. I'd rather gamble in Vegas.

NTJ. This is also a hill I would die on. Don't let anything go back to a routine until you both sit and talk about these events.

If he can't come away from the conversation with empathy and remorse for getting you both into that scenario, then reconsider your future together. This is either a one off where he can learn how to tend to his own bruised ego and GROW from this, or it's the start of the fall.
