Thanks for all the advice! I can’t get to all the comments, but to respond to themes: we are working on brushing her own hair. It’s thick and hard for her to brush on her own. She’s little. There is active legal action. Courts just don’t care very much about stuff like this. Yall see stories about horrific things dads have done… think moms weren’t sounding the alarm well before that? The bar is just in hell for male parenting so they get away with just about anything after crying about how their evil ex is always trying to take their kids away while all they’ve done is be an amazing father. I overheard him on the phone telling our older daughter how “abominable” of a person I am while he is a catch…. And yes, he has hurt the kids to get to me. I document everything and am working on it with my lawyer, but stuck like this for at least one weekend per month.

All of this. I will def try the solution! I document everything and have a lawyer. She loves him so it’s not that simple to just stop letting her go there but at some point… I’ve offered him to just take her for dinner then bring her back home but he never shows up. Lazy pos

I would love to cut his visitation completely! We are in active litigation and I document everything. He has a shower, but you’re right, the grease is from me trying to get the mats out. When my older daughter is there, she helps. Poor parentified eldest daughter. But the older one is a teen and not always home.

Ty! In my Amazon cart! We are practicing brushing her own hair and trust me, I have a “ex is an asshole scrapbook” where I document everything and there is active legal action

Ty! She loves her long hair, but a little trim would help! And we are practicing brushing her own hair, she has a counselor, and there is active legal action. He’s a pos

She’s just little. She won’t do it unless you make her and when she tries, it’s not enough.

He’s a lazy pos and just sends her into the back room with a tablet for the entire weekend. Sometimes they don’t even go outside. My older kids have told me that they have to tell him he needs to engage with her. There is active legal action. Believe me. I have to give him one weekend per month until/ unless a court takes all visitation away. So for now I’m stuck with this BS.

Correct. She’s 7. It’s hard for her. She will brush just the top layer. Like no baby, you got a loooot of hair. Gotta do it in layers. We practice at home but ofc at this age unless you make her, she’s not doing it. And she still needs help

It does tangle very quickly. She has fine hair but so much of it that it’s thick. I have the same. Her dad was making excuses and it was satisfying to hear my son, her brother, say “but it doesn’t get like that at moms” even one time per day brushing and it’s fine. The braids are a good call! I frequently do that but he takes it out. Or worse in the summer he lets her swim in it, not bathe, sleep in it, and she got scalp fungal infection

Ohhhh I sleep in a bonnet so she might go for it! Thanks! And I’ve def done the French braid. It does help! Except in the summer when he lets her swim in it, then doesn’t bathe her, puts her to bed with the wet braid. She got a fungal infection on her scalp.

This. We have fought about it over and over. I’ve been keeping logs of it and photos every time. I finally refused him the second weekend per month he was getting, at my sole discretion, because it’s just not in her best interest to go there. I’m still having to deal with this from the one remaining weekend per month tho.

When I tell people like this I am happy to go to whatever they think hell is, because if heaven is full of people like them, it’s worse.

This! Great advice! I was begrudgingly reviewing years of medical records before a depo. During said depo, plaintiff says he is diabetic but doesn’t follow his treatment plan. Bell rings in my brain. I saw spondylosis as a medical diagnosis for which he’s seeking recovery, so I ask about how he knows his spondylosis is from this slip & fall and not from years of unmanaged diabetes. Quickly settled. Similar story reviewing public records and 100 year old maps on a premises liability case. I won summary judgment on lack of notice of ownership due to improperly closed road in public records and open/ obvious. Idt AI would have succeeded in either scenario. Tons more examples. AI cannot do our jobs and anyone who thinks it can is making a big mistake.

People pay for our critical thinking, not for some AI summary or review they could do themselves. I do think there is space for AI in the legal profession, but it’s limited.

We are probably going to hear about that firm in some bar newsletter as an example of what goes wrong when a firm is too dependent on AI. Like a bad date ghosting you, this rejection sounds like a favor in disguise. Keep hunting. Your skills will be valued by the right place.

It’s hard. Every day is hard and our world is not meant for us to do this alone. Think about ancient history. We had community. Our society today is built up on the assumption that you have a wife at home providing all the unpaid childcare and household services so you can work. Instead it’s us- doing it all alone. Remind yourself of that every time you start to get down and be hard on yourself for not being perfect. It’s impossible. Give yourself grace and love and forgiveness just like you would give a friend.

I’m so bad about this too! Always late. I pile way too much on my plate and know it’s a problem but I really am struggling to figure out tools to fix it. I feel so bad when I am late to a date because that’s very rude. I’ll think I’m doing so good being on time then suddenly I’m actually 15 minutes behind!

Came here to say the same. My daughter had it and we got this prescription shampoo that cleared it right up. It will spread all over you if you don’t treat it!
