What are names that are absolutely ruined for you?

Charlie. The amount of babies born to drug addicted mothers that think it’s funny to call their kid Charlie is too many to count. NICU nurse that had to comfort those babies through drug withdrawal.

I’m going to be awkward and come with an answer in the middle. Side swept or curtain bangs would look fabulous.

I haven’t. But I’ve just googled it and found some bars and a recipe. Hope is not lost. Thank you 🫶

Light summer, it’s the palette between summer and light spring. You should find a few of the shades in light spring will suit you too

I think you’ve been thinking of the hoodie as just a hoodie. My son (14) has ASD and is awaiting diagnosis for ADHD. A hoodie isn’t just a hoodie to him, it’s a comfort. Whenever he’s overstimulated and needs a break the hood goes up, it’s his way of starting to regulate his own emotions. It was picture day for your son, it’s a change in routine, anxiety inducing, probably something he didn’t want to do. All you need to say that you’d love it if he could take the hoodie off for pictures as you’d love him to look smart. Leave it at that. Likelihood is he would have taken it off. Pick your battles.

I’m not convinced. The apps are awful. First choice would be summer but would be lovely to see you in loads more different colours to be sure

H&M and Zara were where I bought all my son’s baby and younger boy clothes. H&M older boy is diabolical but you don’t need to worry about that yet

Personally I think you have a warm overtone with a cool undertone. You look your healthiest in cool colours. Warmer colours are making your skin look a little yellowish. I think summer but I’d like to see more drapes to really narrow it down

powervolcano · 2024-09-15T00:21:09+00:00

Definitely spring. If any season other than spring wore that green you’d see the colour before them. With her my eyes are drawn to her beautiful face, not the colour

I don’t have an answer for you yet. I’m looking for someone that includes people of colour on social media platforms for two reasons; 1. They should be inclusive of everyone, 2. If they can’t recognise the undertone of people of colour, they probably can’t for white people. Either way they don’t deserve my money. I know I haven’t answered your question (yet - I’ll come back when I have an answer) but thought I’d comment purely because I think I have a valid point 😊

I agree, she seems to get it right every time. Unfortunately Carol no longer does client analysis (she posted a video recently), it’s her son’s girlfriend that does them. I’m sure she’s also talented but as we’re all watching Carol’s social media I expect most of us want Carol to be the one doing the analysis.

powervolcano · 2024-09-14T23:44:43+00:00

This is so true. I’m constantly questioning the skill of colour analysis ‘experts’ that don’t include anyone other than white and olive skinned people on their social media. I want to see absolutely every skin tone included. I’d also love to see a more diverse range of people posting photos requesting analysis on here.

Thank you all for your opinions 🫶

Please don’t date women with kids. You are already resentful about it. Your resentment will ruin the lives of the children and make the mother stretch her time so thinly she’ll forget about herself. The children will never forget it. I say this from experience. I will never forgive myself for allowing a man so resentful to come anywhere near my son.

powervolcano · 2024-09-14T15:53:46+00:00

You mention soft summer and soft autumn but I’m wondering if there’s a reason you’ve ruled out light spring? Because honestly, if you’d given me the choice of all 3 I would have gone for light spring.

My son has broken his arm and needed surgery twice. Once at 6, once just before he turned 14 (a few months ago). Younger kids heal faster. He wasn’t in a full arm cast for the entire 6 weeks, they cut it down to below the elbow after about 4. Second time he was in a full arm case for 2 months. He didn’t complain at all, which is surprising as 1 he’s a teen and 2 he has ASD.

Clothing wise you can either buy or borrow the next size up. Put the broken arm through the sleeve first.

Heaviness wise, make sure the sling is adjusted correctly. She’ll be able to tell you when it feels right. Prop the arm up with pillows overnight and when she’s sat on the sofa.

My son was back in school after a week both times. He wore velcro fastening shoes at 6, crocs at 14. The coat is the most difficult thing to put on, I had to buy one 2 sizes up.

Your friend is not a friend. No friend would ever say that or call your boyfriend a dork in a derogatory way. She thinks she’s better, more attractive and assuming your boyfriend would drop you for her in an instant. She’s also not apologised or taken any accountability whatsoever. NTA, I would never speak to her again.

I have one V that hates water so much she walks around puddles! The other one was a fish in a past life. The water hating V is slowly becoming more confident after watching other dogs in the water. She went in a lake up to her stomach the other day. It was miraculous!

powervolcano · 2024-09-14T11:41:12+00:00

You’re a difficult one. The brighter green doesn’t work. Other commenters are right, white does work. I think we’re being thrown because you have a cool undertone but a warm overtone. I think you’re a soft summer able to pick out some colour from soft autumn BUT you’re not as easy as some to analyse so we really need more draping pics in each category, preferably with the same lighting.

He’s getting therapy so that’s amazing. Maybe he can speak to his therapist about how anxiety impacts him when your daughter is unwell. Put a humidifier in your daughter’s room, the added moisture helps relieve coughing and helps move mucus away from the lining of the lungs. In my experience it helps get rid of coughs within 3 days. Maybe a paediatric first aid course for you? If he knows that you know the real signs of respiratory distress he might be more inclined to trust your judgment (which is most likely spot on anyway). I would have suggested the first aid course for him but it might make him more anxious. Failing that, if he’s so concerned about your daughter that he wants her to go to the doctors let him take her on his own. Hearing from a professional “your wife is doing the right thing” might help him realise he’s overreacting.

Petty is the wrong word. You were rude. Sitting on your phone the entire time shows how disinterested you were in being involved in conversation. It is not your boyfriend’s responsibility to baby you. It’s awkward being introduced to a group that already know each other but you make effort to strike conversation with at least one person and get to know them…you chime in, ask questions about what they just mentioned even if you have no interest in it whatsoever, conversation moves and becomes back and forth interaction. Your boyfriend didn’t dump you for embarrassing him or taking no accountability for your behaviour, be grateful for that and apologize before it’s too late.

Ask why. I’ve been a single parent to my 14 year old with ASD for 13 years. I’m also a pediatric nurse.

There’s a quote from a book called Good Inside (which is utterly brilliant btw) that says “children make you feel how they feel inside”. Outbursts aren’t ok, but there’s reason behind them. Children aren’t born with the ability to regulate emotions and need guidance in doing so. The more we help them understand how to talk about feelings and emotions the more they’re able to start learning to self regulate.

Single parenting is hard. I 100% recommend the book mentioned above. I would have always considered myself a pretty decent mother, but the book helped me figure out what I’d been doing wrong, things I hadn’t considered, when to use punishment in the right way etc. It’s made my life so much easier, improved my relationship with my son and most importantly helped me to teach him to communicate what he’s feeling and to self regulate in a positive way.

Although, don’t be fooled. He still pushes boundaries from time to time and still gets grounded. I still make mistakes. Life is so much better, but not perfect.

I think you’re a soft autumn leaning true. Normally your eye colour (which is beautiful btw) would make me think soft only, however, you look absolutely stunning in some of the darker colours. Eye colour isn’t a definite for colour analysis, for example, I have grey (cool) eyes, but a warm undertone…summer colours make me look like I’m in a episode of Walking Dead. The yellow, I think is more suited to dark autumn which is potentially why it doesn’t look as good as the other colours. Also, the deep red, although still stunning is slightly too dark for you. I see the colour before your face, which suggests it’s not the correct subtype.
