There are just 2 kinds and I keep propagating them and making babies, they grow so fast! But I'm not sure how I should be watering them. I water about once a week, when the leaves start to feel thin. When should I repot them? How can I encourage flowering?
I keep seeing people asking about the blueberries, there's some blue ones but they need just a bit more time, some other sunnier patches may be ready by now
I'm 35 and my hair has always been pretty straight, not PERFECTLY straight but definitely not whatever this is. I've been in the habit of blow drying my hair or wearing braids to bed for a while, I guess I haven't really let it air dry in a while, it's so long and thick so air drying takes a while. But I was at the beach the other day and after swimming and walking around with wet hair, I noticed my hair is really not straight like it used to be.
Anyone else have a texture change around this age? How strange is this! Any advice? I'm very excited if I can learn how to manage this lol
Just wanted to show how resilient pothos are!! I found thrips and one of my pothos shelves with smaller babies were pretty damaged, so I made the decision to just chop them all right down and start from scratch. It's only been 6 weeks but new growth is coming along nicely.
I'm sorry if this doesn't fit here, but I am just dying to hear some wedding disaster stories.
I was, apparently, supposed to be attending a wedding this weekend. Except the couple didn't hand out invitations until 2 weeks in advance, and my invitation was given to my kid and not to me directly, so I never got it. I finally got the invitation, but it had no information on it besides location and a start time, didn't say if it was outdoors, dress code, nothing else. I was trying to talk to the couple about what time things are happening so I could plan accordingly, is there a dinner? Apparently yes, but they don't know what time. They say the reception goes until 1am, so it's a 10 hour event with no time given for food... And it's in the middle of nowhere. They seemed to have no plans or schedule and the whole last minute thing was stressing me out and I decided to just not go because what the hell.
We have a 12 year old son, we separated when he was 6, we are both remarried, share 50/50. Prior to separation, I did 95% of parenting (part of why we didn't last) and he was always "fun" Dad, but I guess it's easier to be the fun parent when you only parent for 20 minutes a day.
Our 12yo is a great kid, he's empathetic, creative, hilarious, very responsible. He's always been a very easy kid. I ask him to do something, he does it. We never fight, he is never defiant, we spend a lot of quality time together and I genuinely enjoy hanging out with him and sharing our hobbies, my husband does too and we do a lot of things together. He tells me everything and we trust eachother to be honest and kind.
But his dad and his wife are always micromanaging him, nothing he does is ever good enough, he is always get crapped on for extremely minor things. Our son is always so stressed when he's at their house because of this. It's like they act like they don't even like him?
For example, last time we all had dinner together for a holiday (we all hangout in a blended family sort of way) they were both constantly correcting him: no elbows on the table, don't drink so much water, chew more, sit up straight, try a bite of this, TRY IT!, blow your nose, blow it BETTER etc. The commands and weird nagging just kept going and eventually I was like, okay, can you guys just leave him be? Calm down, he's fine. It's not like they are fancy proper people either, my ex and his wife with both loudly fart and burp at the dinner table.
They are like this constantly, he feels like he can never please them or do anything correctly. It's not even parenting, he is 12 and quite mature, it's like they are annoyed he even exists. Our kid is walking on eggshells around them and afraid to ever make a mistake.
Our co-parenting relationship was quite friendly for a while but has recently broken down due to political difference, and I had to talk to them about not brainwashing our kid into whatever they believe in and asked them to stay neutral and stick to facts, so it's not like we are super friendly now.
It's okay to have different approaches to parenting, but I don't know if this is something I should just not act on, say something to them, teach our kid ways to handle them?? I worry because our son is starting to really hate going to their house, when it's time to switch he tells me he wishes he could stay with me. He feels like his dad and stepmom don't like him and don't want him there. I'm just not sure if I should stick up for my kid or accept this as "different parenting". I'm getting worried that as our kid gets older, he's just going to not have a relationship with his dad. I'm open to any advice or experience here
Northern Ontario to be precise. He thought vertebrae, my friend says tail
I have a couple cake recipes I love but I want to add a slight chocolate flavor, should I adjust anything else in the recipe if I add Cocoa powder? I was thinking of adding it to the melted butter but I just wanted to see if it would be fine.
