I straightened my hair and my 4 yr old doesn’t like it.

I straightened my hair yesterday for 4th of July, just flat ironed it, I was bored.

My 4 year old climbs in bed this morning, looks at me and goes “I wish you could fix your hair”. I said “What do you mean?” He goes “well look at your hair, look in the mirror, I don’t like it”.💀

He’s never seen my hair straight. The last time I did anything to my hair was like … 2019. Since then I’ve done pretty much nothing but wash n gos cuz I’m lazy.

I got too many comments about my hair being straight between yesterday and now today. Let me go ahead and wash my hair 😂

Space birthdays out or have a birthday week?

After today’s appt it seems I’m having my baby earlier than expected, and in a different month. After the appt I looked up the time frame I was given and it now falls on a month that already has 3 birthdays, and it can either happen on the 1 week that there are no birthdays OR it can happen on the week that already has 2.

I’m now debating … as someone who is an only child I have no idea… does it suck to have birthdays close together or is it fun?

I already, regardless of the choice, want each kid to have their own special day even if let’s say in the future I somehow naturally have 2 kids birthdays on the exact same day, I still want everyone to have their own thing.

But I’m just trying to map out my family’s future… would it be fun… would it be stressful… would it be upsetting for the kids?

The way it goes now is I have my birthday, then a week with no birthdays, and then the following week 2 birthdays. The 2 birthdays that exist currently are 1 child and my husband, which my husband was thrilled about when that happened because he said he’d never have to celebrate his birthday again lol. But between 2 kids having birthdays 2 days apart… is that going to be salty feelings potentially in the future? Or is that a fun time?

This year it was already decided before we got the news that we were gonna start doing a week long family vacation at the beginning of that month where each family member will have their own special day, a cake, gifts, and we’ll do whatever they wanna do that day and then when their actual birthday happens we will still celebrate but on a smaller scale.

So with that being said… I want to hear from people who either have kids with birthdays days apart or people with siblings days apart was it fun or was it annoying? Was it stressful? Does it wreck you financially every year?

TLDR: If it weren’t for the fact that there’s already 2 birthdays in 1 week… the obvious choice would be to have the baby the week there are NO birthdays… but since there’s already 2 in 1 week… should we make it 3?
