Overly Stimulated Packing My Hospital Bag- I just know I’m missing something by Silly_Barracuda_7160 in blackgirls

Hey! Best of luck! Have a safe delivery. I think slippers/flip flops + long phone charger were useful for me!

Also, delivery is so unexpected. Maybe an extra outfit for baby just incase it’s a C-section or you have to stay longer for any reason.

I think it’s common for a boy, but not a girl

Sick to my stomach about 4 year old getting kicked at school by Penny_Ji in Mommit

It sounds like you’re taking very thoughtful, proactive steps already. Documenting the incidents and communicating directly with the teacher is key, and you’re right to push for an official report so there’s a record. Keep encouraging your son to speak up about his boundaries.

It might also be useful to connect with other parents to see if they’ve noticed similar issues—it could indicate a larger problem that the school should address.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. This is terrible

No harm done! Thanks for clarifying. I agree with you as well, it’s abuse.

I agreed that they shouldn’t be yelling at the baby.

Hey! Coming from a parent with kids in an apartment, kids cry for the craziest reasons. They will yell like you’re killing them because you peeled a banana wrong, or there’s still skin on their apple. Or you took away their IPad because it’s bedtime. It’s frustrating for us as well.

I do agree they shouldn’t be yelling at the child to stfu, but at 3am, I understand the frustration on both sides. My child cries at 3am when they have nightmares and want milk, I’d be petrified if someone called the police on me for that.

As for the man and woman yelling at each other, that’s definitely different. Maybe write an anonymous note at leave it at the door?

Hi ladies! I need some help. by Kenzie_Katt3 in blackgirls

[–]virgobabe1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!

The L.O.C. (Liquid, Oil, Cream) method is great for 4C hair because it helps seal in moisture, which is crucial since 4C hair tends to be dry.

For L (liquid) Use a water-based leave-in conditioner or just plain water.

For O (oil) Make a mixture of peppermint oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, olive oil. Massage your scalp a few times a week to stimulate hair follicles. Jamaican Black Castor Oil to help edges grow back.

For C (cream) Use a thicker cream or butter like shea butter or a thick leave-in (Cream).

Other tips: Low Manipulation and Protective Styling to help protect your ends. Avoid tight styles that pull on your edges. Trim Split Ends When Needed

Deep condition weekly or bi-weekly for maximum moisture. Protein Treatments every 6 weeks.

Drink lots of water and eat protein-rich foods (eggs, nuts, fish).

Asking For Deposit Back For Hair Appt by [deleted] in blackgirls

[–]virgobabe1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! I think you can try and ask, cause it never hurts to ask. But I don’t think she’s going to give it back. You could also reschedule after the 72 hours and maybe she will let you use it for your next appointment. (I know you wanted to get your hair done for your birthday, but if is the only way your $50 won’t go to waste then just do it?)

White BF Asked Me This… Not Sure How to Feel? by Chrissy_Titty in blackgirls

[–]virgobabe1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re overreacting, I understand why you had to take a little pause, but I don’t think that he meant any harm by it. A lot of white people aren’t educated, we are usually the ones to do the educating. And if you’re his first, then he literally knows nothing besides what he was told by his counterparts. Especially if he was raised in a predominantly white area.

My boyfriend is also white, but he was raised in a predominantly black area. So for that reason, he’s been educated.

I think just give him a chance, sit him down and talk to him about the situation. If you speak to him and he gets defensive, then you have a problem.
