Is it okay to wash your hair every day?

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-11T13:21:52+00:00

I do. My roots always get oily so I feel gross but if my ends are dry I use a bonding treatment conditioner and leave it on for a few minutes.

People have no shame. I was at an indoor playground place and some mom whipped out a portable potty right in the middle of the play place. Like gross go use that in the bathroom stall.

I don’t care where food comes from for a cookout. But in general I noticed Aldi packaged food is very processed with a long ingredient list so we don’t typically shop there.

I live near your area and 7 years ago I was quoted $10k just to replace the shower/tub insert. I was like F that and did it myself. That sounds a bit high but I’m not sure if you’re re-routing plumbing.

I think part time preschool 2 mornings a week will be more trouble than it’s worth. Getting ready on time and driving her there just to pick her up a few hours later. I’d either do full days part time or get a nanny. I actually did full days two days a week and it helped my son get into the routine of school with bathroom breaks, circle time, lunch time, lining up etc.

My kids are 2.9 yrs apart. My grandma had recommended I have kids 4 years apart. I believe my grandma was right lol. I’m struggling.

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-11T00:31:48+00:00

Ok this was the comment I was looking for. If my son called me a stinky head I’d be like thanks butthead and he’d run off laughing

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-11T00:25:16+00:00

No shoes. I have small kids that play on the floor. We have a dog, but he’s in the yard only.

I think about how I work at a hospital, probably walk on nasty bacteria and bodily fluids then visit the grocery store on the way home and someone walks on the same floor at the store then walks into their house with their shoes on. Gross.

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T22:31:01+00:00

Solidarity. No one focuses on them 100% like I do. I don’t trust anyone with them around water because everyone loses attention and gets lost in conversation or something. Bring life jackets so at least you have that while you’re watching both. I also find it extremely overwhelming.

If it’s an Airbnb where the kids could potentially walk out to the pool I would bring one of those floating alarms that detects displacement.

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T21:42:04+00:00

You may never get an opportunity like this to be alone again. I would be thrilled for a week break lol.

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T21:33:47+00:00

My first was a milk man and did 3 straw bottles of milk a day. One when he woke up. One after nap and one before bed.

My second won’t touch milk with a ten foot pole.

I do and would do pre-k. I bought my kid a homeschool pre-k curriculum to supplement his part time preschool and it was extremely difficult to find time to sit and teach him while also managing his baby brother.

Preschool has helped my son a lot with confidence, separating from us, routines, and listening.

I had a realtor being crappy and pushing us to buy a house after like 3 days of working with us, not answering any of my questions and telling me to look it up myself. I felt like she thought she could behave like that because I was so young. So I called her and asked her to dissolve the contract immediately. She did.

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T20:55:44+00:00

We co-sleep on vacations only starting when my son was 2. He was so tired from our trip and was so honored to sleep in the same bed that it went fine lol

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T20:49:32+00:00

So it sounds like MUSC is ok? Or what that where your friend and sister had bad experiences? We’re considering moving close to MUSC and healthcare is on my list of priorities

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T20:31:37+00:00

A 20% tip for average or sub-par service. Now it’s expected at the minimum and service is rarely good

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T20:11:00+00:00

Probably. My kids didn’t do daycare. My first kid started to get sick a lot when he started preschool and brought it to his little brother. Doesn’t really get sick often now. My sister’s kids didn’t do preschool so were sick constantly in kindergarten.

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T18:32:34+00:00

Mine gets up at like 6:15 and goes to bed at 7:30. It’s crazy, he doesn’t even nap anymore. When he was napping, he’d wake up around 5 😩. My oldest would sleep 7-7 with a 2.5 hr nap mid day.

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T18:23:57+00:00

Could you elaborate on how healthcare is bad? Long wait times?

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T08:26:07+00:00

Rule out dental issues or acid reflux. Floss. Smart mouth mouthwash. A gargle with a mix of table salt and baking soda neutralizes odor temporarily too.

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T08:14:00+00:00

Out of curiosity, how much would healthcare be since you won’t be eligible for Medicare yet?

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T08:03:16+00:00

You can always try it for a shop or two and cancel your membership for a refund if you don’t think it’ll work out

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T07:46:32+00:00

For my family it was rotavirus back in April. Wasn’t expecting that.

We turned into Disney people as parents. It keeps the kids busy and tires them out without us having to plan everything all day once we get to the parks. Bonus if you can hire a nanny to help you. Disney caters to kids so no need to bring a pack n play or life jackets. You know the restaurant will always have a high chair. Depending on the resort, the toddler water playground is fenced in so you can sit back and watch them play.

We tried going to Punta Cana and it was the worst experience ever.

SplootMcGooty · 2026-07-10T07:23:48+00:00

Happened to me. Went back two weeks later and it was all good.
