If he is such a headache or she can't handle him, she should have left him where he was.

This post has been bothering me for a minute. So, I've decided to say something.
On straightening out a man: I have no use for advice on this as my man is respectful. How condenscending to suggest that a man be treated as a child who needs to be "straightened out." I left
that type of man alone and in my past.
On soul food recipes: I am southern. I already
know about southern soul food. But, it doesn't matter since my man is a vegetarian and health nut.
On hair advice: As if all non-black women were so ignorant...Ok - I've heard horror stories about babies getting their hair yanked out with fine-toothed combs and getting their scalps burned by inexperienced hairdressing mothers, but not everyone is this way. I, for one, will be keeping my daughter's/daughters' (if I am so blessed) hair natural until she is 16 - at which time we will
discuss other options that she may prefer aesthetically. My son/sons will maintain a low-cut style. I will insure that ALL of my children are as neat and comfortable as possible.
Hair care is not a mystery if you have half a brain.
ETA: There ARE options for biracial children. For example:
