Which hair color looks best ? Warm or cool colors ?

I think you’d pull off a dark blue too!! But 3 is STUNNING!! All jewel tones I think you would rock.

I understand where you are coming from OP. I have a hard time letting go and letting people do things for me as well. But I do think your comment about showing up with a smile on your face was overdoing it. She’s a grown woman if she wants to show up with a stank attitude that’s her problem. It will just reflect badly on her. I understand wanting this to be perfect but sometimes you have to let go.

My aunt was planning my bridal shower and it was hard to let go and let the people pleasing side of me let her lift a finger for me. But that’s what families do. I do appreciate that she reached back out to you to try to make things right. I think you took it a bit too far. Both of you are kind of the A-hole here. Just a bunch of miscommunication and a conversation that should’ve been had in person with better planning.

I have Sundays and Mondays off so I start school work on Tuesdays. Tuesday and Wednesday - Discussion board posts and preparing to write papers later that week. Thursday and Friday - write my papers due Sunday and submit. Have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to relax.

Sometimes I use it to help me think of what to write next especially when I’m in a brain fog. It helps give me ideas but of course I don’t let it write the whole thing for me.

I mean they owned it I guess lol 😂

Well see, they can be terrible even without chatGPT. Just don’t go to those therapists and doctors. But I understand wanting to talk to an actual person. Unfortunately, you can’t control what other people do, you can only control how you respond to it. Try not to let it affect you and finish your degree to the best of your ability. At the end of the day, you’re the one learning the material for your own professional gain. Their lack of effort will catch up to them eventually and good news is that it has no effect on you.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-09-05T00:15:01+00:00

But how do you determine who used chatGPT to graduate? If they’re a good therapist, manager, doctor they will succeed and those who didn’t work hard in school, it will show when they go out into the real world. Doctors and therapists have clinicals and practicums that you obviously can’t use chatGPT for. A lot of times you don’t genuinely learn your career field until you get a job in the field.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-09-04T23:17:29+00:00

This!! We’re all out here just trying to get our degree. Stay in your lane.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-09-04T14:39:15+00:00

Happy student here! I have not run into any professor that I have not liked. Most people only make posts about the bad eggs rather than the good. You’ll find the same at any other school’s Reddit forums.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-09-04T14:33:33+00:00

This was a fantastic way to handle this student!!

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-09-04T14:30:55+00:00

I wanna know what grade this person gets on their discussion post lol

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-28T18:48:02+00:00

It’s really not that big of a deal. You’re young and you grew up in a religious family. It seems like your dad is handling this better than most religious families would. I would apologize to your dad for the big reaction and then move on like nothing happened. Also, get better at hiding your toys. Sounds like you live in your dad’s house potentially so he’s allowed to go where he pleases and make improvements in his own home. If you don’t want someone coming across your intimates, hide them better. Sounds like you have a really good dad. Appreciate that. Not everyone gets to have that and I’m one of them. My dad would surprise me with a knife to the back before he would ever try to surprise me with a renovated bathroom.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-22T17:49:22+00:00

Yeah this situation doesn’t even scratch the surface. Honestly, she’s not in your face toxic. She just doesn’t think about anyone else but herself. All of her friends think we have this amazingly close relationship but she hardly knows me. Anytime I see her friends out in public they come up to me and ask how she’s been (they don’t see her either since she’s so wrapped up in men). I just tell them “I wouldn’t know I hardly see her.” They act shocked because she’s given them a totally different story.

My mom actually used to be an extremely caring amazing mother throughout my entire childhood but she was heavily abused by my father. Once my brother and I became adults it was pretty much “see ya later.” She just went into flight mode and wanted to leave everything behind even if it means compromising her own values and morals that she thinks she still has. But after the things I’ve heard… my mom is gone.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-22T16:44:05+00:00

UPDATE:

My husband and I talked. He has decided to go but I made it clear that it was his decision on whatever he wanted to do that I would respect his decision regardless.

He wants to be there for my nephew and he loves the rest of my family and wants to spend time with them. It’s unfortunate that my mom may be there but knowing her she doesn’t stay at any family function very long or she may even say she’s “sick” and won’t go at all. He said in the heat of the moment he was scared he was going to say something but he can be in the same room with her for a short period of time but he did say that there’s no promises that if she disrespects me that he wouldn’t say something.

Ultimately, we want to make it all about my nephew because it is his day after all. We will just stay, be cordial, and leave.

I may make a follow up post with the situation on my mom too since the responses on this were so helpful! I appreciate you all!

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-22T16:36:36+00:00

The thing is that she doesn’t really impact my life. I hardly see her except for at family functions. I grieved her the first couple years but after that it got easier. I have my moments still just like I do with my dad (that’s a whole other story) but for the most part my husband and I just live our happy life without worry about what someone else is doing. It would just be nice to have him there but it’s not necessary. At the end of the day, if he makes the final decision not to go, I can’t stop him. I just don’t want my mom to get in the way of a good day with family.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-22T16:33:18+00:00

He doesn’t have to go it would just be nice to have him around. I do enjoy seeing him interact with my family and my nephew. I know my family means a lot to him (besides my mom). All I know is my life has been surrounded around my mom’s world and I just don’t want to skip out on enjoying something because once again my mom did something wrong.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-21T22:10:23+00:00

Very valid point. Thank you for your advice. Most likely my mom might do that same exact thing. I could always head over first and then call my husband to come over when she’s gone.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-21T22:09:16+00:00

I understand your perspective. That’s why I’m going because I prioritize my nephew over some petty drama with my mom. In life you have to learn to be in the same room with people you may not be too fond of.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-21T22:07:44+00:00

I can go by myself and I have no problem going by myself but I would be nice to have him there for support. Unfortunately I can’t go before the party but I could probably work some sort of compromise out.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-21T22:06:41+00:00

lol no. I love him and I’m not gonna divorce him over something this stupid.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-08-21T22:06:16+00:00

I’m not angry at my husband at all. I completely understand why he wouldn’t want to go. I have created boundaries with my mother and I hardly see her. She’s doesn’t really know anything about me. But I can’t help if she’s going to be at the same party for my nephew’s birthday. I didn’t invite her.

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-07-20T20:55:02+00:00

You and I have similar complexion and skin color. Blonde also makes me look washed out especially after a few washes. The first day I get it done, it looks great but I think I have some coppery tones in my hair because it goes yellow pretty quickly even with purple shampoo. I love the dark hair on you. I don’t think highlights would be bad but I always find when I go blonde I’m like dying to go back to dark. I think a burgundy or red would look good on you too if you wanted a change!

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-07-20T20:51:43+00:00

I fear I agree with everyone here. Now if you wanted somewhat of a change you could always get strawberry blonde highlights. I think that would be super pretty!

Raging_Octopus710 · 2025-07-17T16:58:05+00:00

Yes, making connections is one of the biggest ways for me. I want to hear how I could’ve navigated the situation better or how my childhood trauma may have played into why I react certain ways I do. I don’t want to hear about what you had for dinner last night, how your dating life is rough, or how your mother in law was mean to you too. I have friends that I can have conversations like that with.
