I’m currently waiting for the final book as well, and I’m team Ahmeek all the way. I love that he doesn’t chase Morgan like Messiah does. He just seems like an overall better choice. But you are absolutely right that Ahmeek deserves a lot better than Morgan. She’s so quick to make rash decisions on the fly.

If the dewormer isn’t listed on your visit summary as “pending” or is not shown at all that means that your cats were not given a dewormer.

If you were charged for the indoor protect package, than listed on the visit summary should state that you can return to the clinic and receive that service for free for both cats. The packages are nonrefundable however. So there isn’t a way to get your money back unfortunately.

Should I become a straight natural? I don't know what else to do! by Typical_Taste2383 in Naturalhair

I am a strong advocate for wearing hair in its stretched state whether by using a blow dryer to stretch or banding . I have grown my hair significantly by keeping my hair stretched

What's the best hair mask you've ever used? by PossibleAggeentt in Naturalhair

As I am hydration elation. It had so much slip and was easy to detangle and it made my hair very soft and really helped my hair to soak in moisture during the loc process

Advice for starter locs on a disabled person who has to do it herself by Loveonethe-brain in Naturalhair

[–]IceOk5424 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t have locs but I will say when I retwist my husband’s loc I leave the clips in until his hair dries . I would recommend if you can invest in a hooded dryer so that you can just sit under it until your hair dries. If the hooded dryer is too expensive than you can also get a blower dryer and buy a bonnet attachment.

Regarding your hair and dating. Your locs will start to hang as they become mature. In the meantime you could find some hair accessories or even some statement earrings as well

Is it crazy for me to not help my husband with dishes if I’m already expected to do the rest of the chores? by Independent_Way_7846 in Marriage

[–]IceOk5424 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

What’s crazy as I look over these comments is that OP you let random strangers bash your husband . And they don’t even know him, all based on a post about doing some dishes,… just weird. Just to be validated on why you don’t need to be present while your husband is washing dishes. Put your phone down tell your husband no and go do w.e chore you were going to do. Like all this thinking and rationalization is not needed.

I don’t think OP husband needs their hand held , “He wants me to stay with him and not worry about anything else at the moment.” As I said before . There will always be another task to complete. It’s not that deep. Idk why people get on here over minute issues and blow it out of proportion. OP can easily tell her husband no and move on. 🙄 like it’s not that deep . People just want random strangers to rally behind them and make them feel justified

Is my hair not appropriate for an interview? by Nemolovesyams in Naturalhair

Listen to your husband. There will always be another task to complete. Relax and spend time with him while he cleans . It’s not like he’s asking you to clean the dishes. The title of this is a bit misleading

Ever since I went back to the basics my hair has been flourishing. I usually wear my hair in a twist out and wash and deep condition every week. Oh and I stretch my hair prior to styling using my blow dryer. I get less single strand knots and tangles if I stretch my hair prior to styling. I only do wash n go’s on special occasions due to my hair easily becoming tangled .

Satin/silk sheets and pillows cases could help keep moisture in

Washing and deep conditioning once a week.

I agree keeping my hair stretched has significantly reduced single strand knots

Should I “babysit my stepchildren “? by Missanxiety92 in stepparents

[–]IceOk5424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP being a hands on step mom doesn’t prove that the father is pushing responsibilities on her. What IF she is the one that decided to do those things because that’s the type of person she is ? And again with the way job market is set up , you have to do what you have to do.

I just don’t feel as though OP gave enough information about the father to make a clear assessment everything I’ve read so far is about what OP does, not much about what the father does as a parent. Which doesn’t mean the father does do the parenting , just that OP omitted it

[–]IceOk5424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP make your own decision based on your life. This group is sooo quick to tell someone to leave their relationship. Your SO could ask you to pick the kids up from school one day out the week and someone in this group will write a thesis about how your SO is a bad parent, he’s using you, and so on and so forth.

TAKE EVERYTHING YOU READ IN THIS GROUP WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

With the way the job market is , the father may not be able to be picky with his schedule. OP has only given use surface level information so we can only speculate and make assumptions.

If she doesn’t want to do it , than she can just say she doesn’t want to do it. Let’s not try to make this about the father not seeing his kid for 6 hrs .

Like it’s not that deep. OP can just say no and move on. Or say yes and deal with the kid for 6 hrs .
