  • There are 9-10 billion people on this planet.

    Among those people, you have countless personal preference based on everything from what they expect to what makes them comfortable based on past experience.

    There are also 10% or so with ADHD and other things, changing it up even more.

    So run all of that through a computer showing you a majority of the likely outcomes, and there you go. There’s no way that your style, your choice of content, your presentation, how you present the material, etc, will please everyone because it’s impossible to do.


  • I’m sorry, OP. I come from a family like this and the best decision I made was to go away for University and make friends whose views and values aligned better with mine.

    Same thing when I found a job. I “made” my own (non-biological) family, if that makes sense. I see my blood relatives at holidays and other events, say the required hellos and goodbyes, and leave when I’m ready.

    I don’t have time for that shit. And I know it’s hard to see people you love behave this way, but you obviously turned out differently and that means that you can do better…and maybe even inspire some of the younger folks in your family in the process.












  • Oh! Also RevitaLash. It’s more expensive, but I was desperate so I got a few different brands just in case and still alternate. It worked on my eyelashes, too (sadly that’s just bad genes - never had long ones). This morning I just did a little trim with some small scissors, and I’m happy with that. It really was odd to find something that worked as advertised. I wish your wife happy, crazy, out of control eyebrows! :)


  • I’ve tried some of the eyebrow gel stuff (The Ordinary, o7) that promises to regrow lost brows, and it’s been surprisingly effective. You just have to use it regularly for a few weeks.

    I went from my SO commenting on my lack of eyebrows multiple times and my mom asking me if I had an eyebrow pencil…to my mom telling me to do something about my “out of control bushy eyebrows”.

    I was pleasantly surprised.
