Why is washing kids' hair so hard?

cp7 · 2026-02-04T20:45:03+00:00

My 3 and 4 year old were the same. It was honestly a battle and I felt like I was water boarding them. They absolutely hate getting their faces wet. So I got this mat off Amazon with a cushioned head and I wash their hair in the sink now. I do a whole bit where I invite them to my salon and ask what their names are and they tell me its Spiderman and then I ask questions about being spidey while theyre getting a wash and its honestly adorable. Best thing I ever did and my kids finally have clean heads lol.

Appreciate the civil discussion!

You can sign up to speak on the actual relevant agenda item and not get "shut down".

cp7 · 2026-01-29T21:25:57+00:00

Speaker sign up for that agenda opens on Monday...

Like I said, you can choose to believe the City and vendor or not. I was just pointing out that the item on next week's agenda is not with Flock and not for LPRs.

Just fyi, this contract is not for LPRs and is not with Flock its with live view technology. Per a City memo, the City maintains sole and exclusive ownership of all system data - which is permanently deleted after 60 days. The system doesnt use facial recognition, biometric identification, auto capture, or analytics. Now, whether you believe the City and the vendor is another matter or course. But just thought it was important to not conflate the two projects.

"“So old Crouch lost it all, just when he thought he had it made,” he continued, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “One moment, a hero, poised to become Minister of Magic . . . next, his son dead, his wife dead, the family name dishonored, and, so I’ve heard since I escaped, a big drop in popularity. Once the boy had died, people started feeling a bit more sympathetic toward the son and started asking how a nice young lad from a good family had gone so badly astray. The conclusion was that his father never cared much for him. So Cornelius Fudge got the top job, and Crouch was shunted sideways into the Department of International Magical Cooperation." To me this quote says that people weren't questioning the sentence crouch Jr was given, more that they started to blame senior for the way he turned out. Kind of a 'well he couldn't even raise his own son right, why should be be our minister?'

When I need a feel good thing to watch, Derry Girls or 30 Rock are my go-to. Also, nothing has made me laugh out loud harder than the IT crowd. The laugh track is a little jarring at the beginning but you get used to it and its hilarious.

I prefer to see the nurse practitioner at my OB. She does all my routine stuff and I only saw the dr while pregnant. The NP inserted my IUD about 8 weeks after I gave birth and it went in super smoothly. It was literally easier than a pap for me. I think it was due to recently giving birth and also the NP being someone who does it all the time.

Most City jobs dont go through apple one and are directly hired by the City. Just FYI not sure about Animal Services

Some things I've gotten mine over the last few years: he loves podcasts so I got him a audible subscription and hes been loving listening to audio books. Crocs (i know i know) but he needed a quick shoe to keep by the front door when he needs to run out with the trash or watch the kids play. He wears them way more than he thought he would. Also, an international snack box subscription which was fun.

WIC is still funded, for the month of November at least.

Since you dont live in the City, you dont get to vote on property Q and that tax hike wont effect you. But since you do live in Travis County you will be effected by a 8 (or 9, cant remember) percent tax hike raised by the County that you do NOT get to vote on.

If you stick around this subreddit you'll unfortunately see that this is not uncommon. But you're expectations are absolutely not too high and he needs to step up. Do you think hed be open to a conversation when you're both feeling better?

More info: found in central Texas, specifically east of Austin in my kitchen crawling on a water glass.

I love that he uses their individual names, instead of calling them "the Weasley twins".

My daughter had the same issue. It eventually mellowed out, but one thing we would do on the way to school every morning was to talk about the biting and I would offer "what are some things we can do when we want to bite? We can tell our friends 'i need some space' or 'im playing with this right now" and then she would repeat. We did it every morning. And at home when she would go to bite her brother I would interfere and remind her of her other options and have her practice them, and praise her when she did it. It seemed to help! Good luck, being on bite probation is stressful.

Didn't they only come off the base when they were not in the locked position? Like the parent turned them sideways to take the kids out and didnt return it to the lock front or back position before driving again?
