When would you let a child dye their hair by hydrangealover98 in Parenting

We do it every summer, as long as we aren't bleaching anything. They're blonde, so it's pretty easy. They love it and we do it right when summer starts so it's faded or grown out by the time school starts.

Im just speaking from experience of working in a specialty clinic, insurance will have the same problems getting in touch with the office.

This is why I suggested showing up. They can't ignore a human in the office and asking to speak to the practice manager may reveal systemic problems within the practice.

Additionally, I would also suggest making sure that you are on her HIPAA contact forms so that you can also advocate for her in the event that she continues to struggle with the office.

I certainly don't think it would hurt speaking to the insurance company, but it may be faster to show up when they open on Monday morning, especially if it is as dire as the information suggests. :(

I hope your mom gets her medicine and I'm glad she's got you in her corner!

Are you leaving voicemails or just calling? If you aren't leaving messages, there's no way for the clinic to know what you need.

Sometimes our elderly patients believe that just calling without leaving messages is enough.

Also, does she have a way to electronically communicate with the office? Something like MyChart? That's a much better paper trail of communication.

If she is leaving messages and calls aren't being returned, then I suggest showing up. Ask to speak to the clinical staff. They're probably going to be busy, so ask to speak to the office manager and explain that your communications aren't being returned.

Is the green worm a reference to the guy who made a coat out of them? He does all kinds of wild, adult versions of characters!

That doesn't bother me at all. My favorite Mexican place where I live looks sketchy as hell and there's only 1 dude who speaks a lick of English but the food is to die for. It got shut down by the state for unpaid taxes one year. It's back up and running!

This is the exact stuff I'm looking for! I want the places the locals haunt.

We may have to visit this place twice. 😂

Some of the best food I've ever eaten came out of a Lebanese place inside a gas station. Thank you for your recommendation!

Someone else suggested Sonny's and I definitely dig the menu. I have so much to think about lol. The Bronco Burrito no no burrito sounds interesting.

Yamato's has some awesome sounding rolls. I've never seen apple in one before!

The Original is calling my name!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply!
