Your boyfriend is being a deadbeat

So annoying tho! My 2yo is large so he’s in a 5T/6T or XS/S and I seek out the “above-the-knee” styles because this look gives me flashbacks to cargo shorts of the early aughts for some reason 😂

Edit to add Target has had an abundance of this style lately! Hoping the trend continues.

There are things you can do to fade the black and color removers can remove several layers of the black, but ime it’s best to leave it to the professionals. Graceful is not the word I would use when describing the transition but going to a professional will make it a lot less painful and/or orange.

Dispute it, girl. That first attempt was whack if I may say so. The second is also not close to what you wanted AND they’re unwilling/unable to do anything else for you.

It’s hard to say what will work for you but I would start by playing around with volume mousses! Start with lighter hold products and work your way up until you’re getting a hold you like. I always liked the volume mousses from Pureology and Kenra but you can certainly start out with drugstore products.

Are you using any sort of mousse or hold product prior to blow-drying?

Season 1 came out when I had a newborn and even though I already had the fear of birth behind me, my hormones were still fucked up and all those traumatic birth scenes crushed me man.

This is how I do. I wind up having to rewind a lot but it’s still better than just sitting with my thoughts imo

Uhm no I’d find someone new. That’s so incredibly inconsiderate!!!

I know you said you’re not looking for advice but… podcasts/audiobooks in one earbud has been instrumental in me not dying of angst and boredom when the toddler play gets to be too much.

There’s a risk your ends will be darker than your roots but without photos it’s hard to say.

This is a must for me. I think the cause of a lot of splits imo is just pure friction. Gotta keep those ends lubed!

Invest in some Refectocil, trust me! It’s life-changing. I have to color my brows once every week or two but it makes such a difference!

My 2yo also has absolutely no interest in storytime or listening to me read books at the library. He does, however, adore running around the library while joyfully screeching lol I would see other kids his age sitting nicely on their parents’ laps for storytime and feel really discouraged but I genuinely believe it just comes down to a difference in temperament. My guy has always been a wildling. We’re currently giving the library a little break and will try again in the fall.

Totally not alone. My 2yo is a fucking go-er from dawn til dusk and has been skipping naps regularly. He will play by himself nicely for a few minutes but often when we believe he’s playing nicely by himself he’s getting into trouble. I have no advice other than to find someone to watch him so you and your wife can have date nights. It’s so important to still make time for each other whenever possible. But yeah, shit’s rough!

We just do floor changes on a waterproof changing mats for poops and mostly standing changes for pees. He’s 2 and in a size 8 diaper so the only ones that are accessible to us are Pampers Easy Ups or Goodnights. I don’t think there would be any way to keep him still for a standing poop change!

You just got it done yesterday, contact your stylist and ask if they can tone it down a hair.

I’ve come to the conclusion that my hair type is wavy and dry. I really need to use a good leave in conditioner, regular masks, regular haircuts, minimal heat styling, gentle brushing, and an oil/serum with silicone in order for my hair to feel soft. Even with all this my ends are still pokey, I think just because it’s semi-coarse. I’m forever chasing that fresh cut feel but these things help.

I got such weird vibes from my boss when I was transitioning to being a sahp. At first she would say she totally understood, then later would be almost talking herself through a conversation in front of me where she justified working still because she payed for 7 years of schooling and valued her career and earning money is important to her and blah blah blah. Like girl you’re killing it, you don’t have to be so insecure.
