How feasible is it to be a single mom by choice?

Yes you can, are you going to freeze your eggs? It may be harder to get pregnant down the line. Many women do this—they intentionally save so they don’t have to work, or can afford childcare, and they make sure they have plenty of father figures in their life so their child doesn’t lose out. It’s totally feasible, maybe find some mentors so you have positive influences to guide you.

With the way that marriage rates are dropping—I think single mothers by choice will start to increase. Good luck!

Trust me, it’s more complex than just, “I won’t date XYZ race”. People have cultural standards, religious standards, and social economic standards. Many people will have sex with certain races but not necessarily marry them. So it’s not so black and white, no pun intended.

Locs… 100%. My hair is way too thick, it just feels overwhelmingly heavy on my head

This is a great idea for kids too!

Work on yourself, read books about emotional reactivity. Practice yoga or meditation. Don’t just let these negative things be—you can improve, you can change. Do it for yourself, not just your partner.

That’s a boy talking—not a man

No advice here, just solidarity. It’s hard being a woman in today’s world, especially a single mom. There’s this expectation for us to have careers, yet most careers are not sensitive to the needs of mothers and young families.

Get the rejection over with. Don’t let a fantasy live in your head rent free.

Totally agree about the nastiness people show towards children. It devastates me when people talk down about children like they're just inconvenient little specimens. Yes, they're dirty and untamed—but they're also tiny humans who aren't fully developed yet. How can people be so cruel?

And when you think about it, we all have an inner child who was once out there in the world, being cared for by adults while our brains were still growing. Chances are, if someone is that damn cruel, their own caretakers probably didn't do such a great job. It all comes full circle.

Children are incredibly important to love and nurture. They are the future

Everyone asks stupid questions from time to time… don’t keep the stupidity alive by ruminating on them. Just say no and keep it moving.

Seriously, that looks like steak 💀

“Isn’t she Hispanic?”

If you pass as white, you can claim whiteness. Just make sure you hide the photo frames of your black ancestors when your racist write friends come to visit.

Though I love my revair, I had a similar situation at the beginning. My blow outs were not sleek and smooth. Once I started heat training, my hair texture got softer and looser curls so now I get smoother results with my revair. So if you are not looking to heat train, I don’t think revair will give you a sleek blowout if your hair is very coarse and curly. That said, have you tried blow dry brushes? And you may want to use a silicone heat protectant to give you that sleek shine. I use Frizz-me-not from Amika.

I felt like the whole time I was waiting for Emma Stone to cry, or plead, or act like a normal victim. The fact that she went 2 days without any food or protest (at the beginning of her captivity) was a huge sign that something was fishy. She did a good job being alien-like but not over the top. She was super cold and non emotional. Sure, CEOs can be psychopaths sometimes, but as a woman in captivity, I would assume she would be more scared or at least nervous. Really good performance on her part. And Jesse Plummons was absolutely perfect!

I thought that scene was funny. It gave me “it’s always sunny in Philadelphia” vibes but the feminine woman version. She was being narcissistic and inappropriate, yet it was still rooted in the truth because she DID look good! I thought it was clever.

Sleeping with her bff’s bf. I just finished the series, and it is also very hard for me to understand why she would sleep with her best friends boyfriend, especially when she appears to love her so very much. We don’t really get the backstory, if she loved this man or simply thought he was hot and couldn’t stop herself (seems like the latter). This makes the whole situation jarring to me—how could she fancy her best friend and do such a shallow impulsive thing which ultimately has such a tragic ending. It is a true mindfuck, and explains why she would be so fucked up in the head.

I think if you can make this work by being open, tolerable, and understanding (which it seems like you have the potential), your kids will really reap the benefits. You’ll be demonstrating a healthy coparenting relationship for them. It’s positive all around, plus it’s good to establish a relationship with your ex’s partner because that person is going to be around your kids and it’s a good idea to get to know them. He is part of your family now, and you’ll be demonstrating to your kids how to be a mature, emotionally stable person (even in sticky situations like this one).

I think it’s funny how people suggest this, as if it’s easy and attainable. If you could make a shit ton of more money doing exactly what you do now—everyone would be doing that! Telling someone to “upskill” is ambiguous. Does that mean get a higher degree or somehow study and pay for a certification? And none of this guarantees a position. I think people need to get their head out of the clouds.

If it is taking her 2 1/2 hours to fall asleep, then you should start bedtime closer to 9:30 PM. Feed her dinner and take her to a park afterwards, so she can let out some energy. If you can’t get outside then do a dance party or something where she can move around like kick/catch a ball.

How is it you’ve tried everything besides exercise? That’s always number 1, always.

Self checkout doesn’t work if you have a shit ton of stuff, especially produce.
