My (19M) older brother’s (32M) 7-year-old daughter, Meadow, started losing her hair due to chemotherapy for stage 4 neuroblastoma around a month ago. I’ve been staying with my brother and his family during the summer to watch Meadow and his other 3 children while he and his wife are at work. 3 days after Meadow started losing her hair, she was completely sick of it, and asked her parents if she could shave her head. They told her no, claiming that she wasn’t old enough to make a decision like that so quickly, that she’d regret it, and she’d be upset that she didn’t look ‘girly’ enough. As the next couple weeks followed, Meadow’s hair kept coming out more quickly. Her hair kept getting tangled with the hair that was coming out, it got all over the house, was constantly in her mouth and nose, and somehow embedded itself into her clothing. After about 2 weeks, she was itchy and tired of losing her hair. She was completely inconsolable and cried nonstop from the time she woke up (around 7 a.m.) til around 10:30-11 a.m. I was tired of her being so upset and her parents not doing anything about it. I asked her if she still wanted to shave her head, and she said yes, so I shaved her head for her. She was upset for about five minutes afterwards but was completely fine after that. I could tell she felt way better. When my brother and his wife got home, they got angry at me. They said it’s not my job to try to make parenting choices when I’m not the parent. My brother said that if he didn’t need somebody to watch his kids, he’d cut contact with me. I think I may have overstepped a bit, but I was only trying to help Meadow. AITA?
How you doing mis amores? Do you want to see my cucu list of explained references and jokes from Drag Race España's season 1 episode 3?This week was quite the ordeal! I did my best in trying to explain just enough for our international sisters to understand the cultural references in this week's runway without going overboard. I’m a Spaniard but (unfortunately) my region is not being represented by any of the S1 queens and I had to do a little bit of research myself, so I might have left something important out or introduced some mistakes. As always, please let me know in the comments if I can improve any of the info below and I'll edit this post!
If you want to check previous episodes' references, here you have them:
Now let's dive into this week's episode: MOCATRIZ
02:54 – Arantxa says that Pupi in that hair looks like Lydia Lozano, who is a famous spanish gossip journalist. She never was what you would call a serious reporter, but she’s now gone full-trash working for the most shamefully amoral show in Spanish TV, “Sálvame”. Anyway, here’s a clip of her singing “¿A quién le importa?” from where Drag Race España’s farewell sentences come. She also cries a lot.
03:47 – Hugáceo is wearing a white T-shirt with the word “Todes” on the front. This word is the non-gender version of “todos/todas” (All of us). We stan an inclusive queen.
05:12 – Supremme is happy to be holding a “pito” in her hand after spending several months in lockdown. “Pito” means whistle but is also slang for dick.
06:56 – Supremme calls the queens “Futbolisdrags” = Futbolistas (football players) + drag
07:09 – Hugáceo makes their best imitation of Cristiano Ronaldo’s extremely awkward scream at the 2014 Ballon D’Or ceremony. When your catchphrase is just shouting like a neanderthal, gurl...
07:56 – Compañedrags = Compañeras (colleagues) + drag
08:12 – Carmen’s dream is to become Pilar Rubio. She is a (kind of bad) TV host and model. Carmen mentions her during this mini challenge bec

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
Ok guys sorry for the format this is on mobile!
Any advice appreciated.
Soooo about 2 years ago my cousin (Alyssa,then 19f) called me out of the blue to tell me she was in a rehab center and her immediate family wasn't letting her come home because she was caught with drugs and under the influence by the police so they didn't want anything to do with her anymore (her mom/dad)
I felt bad but at the current moment I had let my apartment go and had moved in back home with my parents so I can save for a house and at the same time help them with rent and food since my dad was a bit out of luck with work. So I told my mom what was happening and my father (Alyssa is his niece) said we should help her in her time of need. She was dropped off by a cab and was a mess.
Off the back we let her know this wasn't permanent but we would help her get back on her feet and she could rely on us for rides or if we could help her by getting her into therapy, or anything really.
We tried our best to help her as much as possible, pushed her to go back to school even if by online to finish her high school degree and get a part time so she can have a realistic expectation of what adult life is. Her mom had been the wild type in her youth but the reserved/uptight born again christian type after my cousin turned 12. She really hadn't prepared Alyssa for life or what responsibilities r. She had an unrealistic expectation of just getting a man to take care of her...that any true woman would just get them to pay for anything she needed.
During that time I was dating my now husband Darnell (21m). My family loved him to death and were pushing for us to tie the knot since we were doing really really good together. And we ended up marrying a month after she moved in.
During her stay with us (3 months) we'd take her out and help her make friends...she led a regular teen life. She got a job at a corner store and was really turning herself around....until she met her bf around month 2.
Then it took a hell loop and she started abusing alcohol and drugs again. Shed stay out all day and night and come back for just a change of clothes and run out when she'd know no one would be home.
Well one day of her sneak ins, Darnell had been at my parents house visiting when my mom left to run some errands. Hed confronted her about her behavior and told her he'd hate to see someone so young just throwing her life away on drugs and drinking. Hed told her he was disappointed to see her ruin her c
