You know son, you may think you're treated unfairly and held to much stricter standards than your little sister...
But just wait until you guys are teenagers, because I'm likely to be waayy more strict with her, and probably let you get away with waayy more than she ever could 🤷🏽♂️
NO NO NO!
...little tip, my brother and I are one year apart. We always did everything super fair, split things right down the middle type stuff. As a teenager my mom requested extra stuff from me and wanted my brother to accompany my friends and me when we went out (which he didnt want to - he wanted to stay home and play video games)
...know what that causes? Teen-aged girl rebellion...the reason I don't want kids and if I did I sure as helk wouldn't want a daughter (like me)
...be forewarned
Treat her fairly and equally, Trust her
Teach her the stuff you teach your boy too. I don't know how to change a tire and used to get other people to pump my gas (I can do it now, but have never put in swisher wiper fluid)
I did watch and help my more capable friend change my headlight bulb tho - she broke it in the fixture and I figured out how to get it out!
Anyhow, my 'not a parent' advice is to treat them the same and provide the same life skills to both...and trust you are building their confidence and skill sets...gender exclusive
Fair is square!!
just yesterday a very strict parent friend told me how she came home mid-day last week to check on her kid who was virtual schooling and found a boy hiding in the closet in his underwear so i think this is right
terrible. just terrible. you know back in my day we respected women.
which is why i suggested she remove the doorknobs from the doors5 -

I don’t know anything about your curly hair, but I have curly hair and I sleep with it in a pineapple (basically a high pony tail) and am pretty much able to take it out give my head a few shakes and go. Sometimes I spray some water with a bit of conditioner or curl cream in it and give it a scrunch. I highly recommend sleeping with a pineapple!
No ponytail for me 😅 I lost all of my hair when i was going through chemo. It started to grow again but all of a sudden it's curly AF and my hair is only like 2 inches long at the moment😂 I'll have to try that when my hair is longer if it's still curly. Thanks for the tips xox
Well, you rock it then! Hope you're feeling healthy and kicking it<3

@Miss_Chiev0us
That friend I told you about, I hadn’t see her since late last summer. I saw her a few weeks ago and her hair is back to its regular straight texture! It was soooo curly. I didn’t think it would go back, I had no idea. She looked good either way but she’s more comfortable like this.1 -
No I'm sorry you guys but I don't believe you raise them the same... In a perfect world maybe...
But let's be honest... I have to worry a lot less about my boy going out and getting roofied by some creep, compared to...
I won't even finish the sentence... Parish the thought5 -
Continue spending the day playing and work tonight? Or, work now and catch up on sleep tonight? I'm leaning towards the former but need to equalize at some point.1

I agree, the world is different for women and men, it's useless to ignore the fact. On the other hand, I don't know that being restrictive is the way to handle it, teach her to look out for herself while she takes on the world. Otherwise, at what age is she allowed to go do things? If you are just restricting but not teaching whats the long term goal?
I disagreed with your statement because you said you wanted them to be like your parents. I don't think we should push our children to be like certain people, let them embrace what they are and teach them to be the best version of themselves they can be.
I think I was either misunderstood or misspoke entirely when I said strict... It was tongue and cheek, just me teasing my son and I felt like sharing... A humorous way at looking at how the world could be different with double standards and all...
Of course I'm going to let her out of the box when she's old enough... Say 28 🤷🏽♂️😂...
But what I'm saying is the things I want to instill in her are very different than what I will teach my boy... Call it unfair, call it bias, unequally, whatever...
To hell with fair, these are your kids we are talking about and it's not a fair and equal world... And who doesn't want to teach their kids the valuable lessons they learned from their parents...
It sounds like we are in agreement just maybe from different angles... 💕4 -

I’m wondering how folks here seem to have the ability to take great pics without them being selfies. How do you all do it? Self timer? Photographers that follow you around? Instagram spouses? 🤔0

Funny how when you stop eating on the outside, you realize something has been eating you from the inside all along. You were just suppressing it with food till now.

I'm kind of hoping the curls stay for when my hair is longer. We'll see.1
