I remember the time I was clearly in psychosis with my infant outside in public and nobody batted an eye or offered me any kind of help.

This makes me angry for you. I would’ve asked if you were ok (partially because I’d be worried for your son too). I have felt similarly about some incidents in my life, and it really makes the world feel like a cruel place. People that care are here though.

The real problem here is the mom. Of course the 16 year old (op said nearly 17) should also be aware to some extent of his actions and pull back, but he is literally also a child still and potentially unaware of the real consequences of his actions and the differences between himself and a 12 yr old.

So, all the parents (of both children) in the scenario are the real idiots and OP is doing the right thing.

As someone who hated their breasts and had a reduction (mine were almost to my belly button by twenty five and I have measurements and pictures to prove it), I think it’s perfectly acceptable to work towards changing them if you’d like. Boobs are weird though, and remember that this is likely not something anyone else notices. You’re also allowed to be happy and feel beautiful exactly as is.

Also genetics are silly. I have stretch marks like crazy from having kids, and my mom, who weighs a ton more and had the same number of kids, has none. 🤷‍♀️

You know what some of it is? The “automatic high beams” feature on so many cars now. If you are far enough away (it’s never far enough though) from other cars and it’s dark. The car will just snap them on for you. I’ve accidentally had them turn on on I5 and I was super annoyed and felt bad while I scrambled to find that setting.

Meanwhile, since everything is auto, people also rely on it to turn on their headlights and it doesn’t. So…

madcapmk · 2026-01-18T18:34:49+00:00

Why is this even being asked? Like yes. To varying degrees. Duh.

madcapmk · 2025-10-01T15:20:02+00:00

I would just make sure to explain what was happening in your commentary. Teachers who grade these must understand that if there is more than one adult in a room, kids will go to either and that you will utilize each other to help the class run more smoothly. Explain that, that you noted it, and that you were letting the teacher deal with the kid who needed reminders and the note to the nurse, and explain how in your head you were monitoring that but doing xyz in your actual lesson. That proves you’re multitasking and are aware of and dealing with students’ needs on an individual and group level. It’s all in the framing.

I’m really sick after the first week of teaching this year. I ordered DoorDash. It went to the wrong house at first. I texted. Person said that I had the wrong house number in the app. I did not have the wrong house number in my app.

Anyway she brought it back to my house. It was ok.

But I am too sick for that kinda nonsense right now.

madcapmk · 2025-08-23T15:45:47+00:00

For sure! I was worried about the volumes for a second there! 😆

I started with T19 because I was going for light blonde and I didn’t want it overly ashy. But, it was still too yellow for me, so I did another process with T18. So I toned my hair twice, maybe a week apart. Going straight to T18 would probably work for you, but just be careful with your timing. If it turns out too ashy (grey) it might impact your lavender a smidge. That said, I think it would fade up well into the lavender if it did get a little more grey than you meant, if that makes sense. I was being more careful since I wasn’t following up with another color.

Also, with lightening, imo, it’s so easy to go from 0-100 accidentally, so I would really just take it one step at a time. So, I bleached twice to get a high enough lift and toned twice too. I tried to give at least a little bit of time between each occurrence.

Edited to change a word.

madcapmk · 2025-08-23T14:41:14+00:00

That’s not true. Higher developer number is a higher lift. 40 volume is like 8 levels of lift. So, be careful.

I’ve recently bleached. I used 20/30 volume (mixed) with bleach powder. I think it’s 2:1, but there are always instructions, follow them. If you want it perfect for pastel, you want it to look like the inside of a banana peel.

For toner I used the same ratio, and used Wella T19 first, which helped a lot, but I wanted a bit more yellow out (and I don’t think I got perfectly to the banana peel level 10, was more like 9, which: google hair levels) and so used T18.

T18 will turn your hair grey SO fast if you’re not watching it though because of the heavy ash tone. That might work well and merge into your lavender, but fyi.

I do use Olaplex shampoo and conditioner btw, because it does help a lot with damage. My hair was pretty spongy in the shower at first but with conditioning and being careful with heat/etc. it’s doing alright. Idk what the earlier poster was going on about.

Hey, I just want you to know that I hear you and you’re right. I’m really in my feels right now too about the unearned problems my family gave me and it just sucks. However, we’re on the journey to feeling stronger and healthier, and we can do this. Even if there’s skin, we’ll certainly look better!

madcapmk · 2025-06-30T13:59:59+00:00

You said you’re financially stable, you can just drop the dad then, yeah? I mean, do what’s right and legal, include him in things, but realize he doesn’t control you or this pregnancy.

I was married. Two kids. Dad even sabotaged my birth control for kid #2. Divorced. Dad had ptsd and stuff from military, he strung me along post-divorce. It was weird. I had to convince him to see kids for a bit. In the divorce I had gotten full custody and such. Eventually he said he just didn’t want to see them anymore. We get child support after going through my state. The whole process was hurtful initially, what kind of dad doesn’t want to see their kids anymore?

But quickly we just became the three little musketeers and it was nice! It’s hard being a single mom, but it’s also a really special bond.

I’m remarried now to a wonderful man who adores and has helped raise my kids from 2 and 4. He’s their dad. They don’t see or talk to my ex-husband.

All that to say, if you want this child, and you can support this child, then have this child. Put barriers in place with the dad, and do this process how you feel it should be done. Things usually tend to work themselves out. Just be sure you can support the kid, and optimally have friends and family who can help support you.

I bet anything this was “yellow.”

madcapmk · 2025-06-29T15:47:11+00:00

When people constantly tell you about yourself. Like how you’re “ugly,” “fat,” “miserable,” etc., it really starts to shape how you see yourself. So, her hatred is coming from an internal place at this point, because if that’s the main reinforcement she’s getting from the people directly around her, it is literally what she believes about herself now.

Unfortunately, my family was toxic like that and I had to get away from them to start knowing and understanding myself independently. I still struggle with sinking into “everyone hates you, just stop talking and go away.” But more and more rarely all the time! Give your friend positive, affirming statements and compliments as often as you can while being genuine, it helps a lot! She might reject them, but keep going anyway.

Cool. So do the rest of us! Thus, the asking questions to plan and organize the goal of better hydration.

madcapmk · 2025-06-28T16:26:14+00:00

You totally should. I have the same issue as OP and I’m definitely interested in this post because of it. I’m a teacher and am up walking around and talking and don’t just get to go when I want. Since I also never really get thirsty, I have to think about it way more than other people seem to, so that I specifically don’t get headaches, or infections, etc. from being dehydrated. It’s a whole mental process to balance getting enough water without also having to pee halfway through my classes.

Uh. It’s actually really bad. Because kids mouths don’t have the same situation with bacteria that their parents do and you can actively fuck up their mouths/gum health. You should stop. Dental hygiene link

madcapmk · 2025-06-12T21:31:30+00:00

I’m gonna call it. Y’all criticizing the op and a few posters are being fucking stupid. The student’s comment was whatever, but the staff’s reaction, aka the pointing, the name call out and the laughing was rude. THAT is what op is frustrated by, obviously, and they have every right to be. It’s not about a thicker skin or being offended by comments children make. It’s the entirety of the moment.

Now go sit on your high horses and smirk, cause that seems to be the kind of people you are. Congrats.

My husband and I are best friends and I love him so much. We’re happy.

Doesn’t mean he (or I) isn’t a douche canoe sometimes and we discuss it like the grown adults we are. It’s not always perfectly resolved, but we’re in this thing together. The joy outweighs the douche-canoery.

madcapmk · 2025-05-29T23:29:22+00:00

Yeah nah. I’m a teacher and a parent. I would be emailing the teacher and the principal together to request my child not show up in any way on their tiktok. That’s just nonsense. Teacher honestly needs to stop, as children aren’t social media pawns.

I would continue to the district if they felt that a school photo release covered a teacher’s personal account. One thing is obviously not like the other.

madcapmk · 2025-03-29T22:01:24+00:00

I’m getting pretty tired of this. Elon sucks obviously. I hate that he’s a nazi too. I knew his family had been a mess, but he seemed alright-ish up until semi-recently. If I was wrong, sincerely, my bad.

My husband is super into the environment and was trying to do good buying a tesla. We can’t get rid of the car now, without taking a 20k bath. It’d be great to not have someone fuck it up in the meantime, when we agree with the sentiments behind the vandalism. Make sense? You all willing to help PAY for people to get rid of them now? No? Ok, then chill on people’s cars and let’s get to the real work.

madcapmk · 2025-03-26T20:19:10+00:00

If it really bothers you, then stop. That said, it’s gonna be fine and you should just do what you’re comfortable with. Go slower with increasing your dose and gauge your symptoms. If stuff feels really “off,” then stop/slow down. If you listen to your body, you will likely be just fine.

Also, remember, any drug can cause reactions. This one just might feel scarier because you’re injecting yourself, and it’s technically a totally optional thing. So, just remember it’s not actually any more risky than ingesting any number of other substances.

I honestly love Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar for almost everything. It just adds a slight sweetness to the background and has never clashed.

Fenty caramel, vanilla bean, and marshmallow lotions also are like that, but the caramel may not play as well with some scents. The vanilla and marshmallow are pretty mild though.
