  • Doctors Won’t Tell You This – Cheap Way to Get Rid of the Head Lice Almost Instantly!

    Head lice are real nuisance and usually children are affected by them. Therefore, when a child complaints to their parents about itching head, the first thing that comes to a parents mind is lice. Lice are small insects without wings that are fed on blood, and are very difficult to remove.
    In fact, lice are very contagious; if one child has it then it is most probable that others will get it as well. They can be easily transferred to other children especially if they go to school or kindergarten. Adults may also get them, but children are the ones who most frequently suffer from them. These insects are not so harmful, but they are annoying which can cause inflammation and itchiness of the scalp. However, if you not remove them on time, they will multiply like crazy and eventually that will lead to a severe infection.
    There are many anti-lice shampoos available in the stores which are not 100% effective, and as well as very expensive. You can comb the hair for hours and again some of these horrible insect will be left hanging on the hair, and start the process of multiplication. Likewise, these over-the-counter lice products contain harmful chemicals which may enter into the bloodstream of the child and lead to more serious health concerns.
    Do not worry; we have an effective homemade remedy that will remove these nasty parasites from the hair instantly.
    Things that you will need:
    Mouthwash

    White vinegar

    Lice comb

    Shower cup/plastic bags

    Few towels

    Directions:
    First, you need to wash the child’s head with the mouthwash, and then wrap it in a plastic bag. After that, cover its head with a shower cap. Let it stay like that for 1hour. The mouthwash helps in keeping lice away thanks to the strong smell because lice cannot stand the smell of spearmint.
    After the one hour has passed, remove the shower cap and the bag, and wash the hair with vinegar. The white vinegar will eliminate lice eggs.
    Again, cover the head with a bag or a hat for additional one hour. After one hour, remove the bag or the hat, and wash the child’s hair with a regular shampoo. In the end, comb the hair with a lice comb.
    For best outcomes, you can spray the hair of your child with a mouthwash before going to school or nursery .
    Do not hesitate to try this natural treatment; it is very effective providing you with amazing results!

  • Husband Creates A Spreadsheet Of ALL The Times His Wife Denied Him Sex

    There are marital arguments, then there are Reddit-worthy marital arguments. Take for example Redditor throwwwwaway29, who posted this photo of a spreadsheet sent to her by her husband, detailing every time she denied him sex in the past seven weeks.

    She posted this:
    “Yesterday morning, while in a taxi on the way to the airport, Husband sends a message to my work email which is connected to my phone. He’s never done this, we always communicate in person or by text. I open it up, and it’s a sarcastic diatribe basically saying he won’t miss me for the 10 days I’m gone. Attached is a SPREADSHEET of all the times he has tried to initiate sex since June 1st, with a column for my “excuses”, using verbatim quotes of why I didn’t feel like having sex at that very moment. According to his ‘document’, we’ve only had sex 3 times in the last 7 weeks, out of 27 “attempts” on his part”.


    She added she hasn’t seen this side of her husband before, he isn’t answering her calls, and she’s spent the last 24 hours crying her eyes out.


    Sending your wife an email containing a spreadsheet of all the times she said no? Flowers and chocolates might have worked better, but Excel spreadsheets definitely come in at a close second.


    Good luck winning your wife back, maybe you can make a PowerPoint presentation?

  • Are You Sure You’re Not Racist 

    An American  mum is going viral for a powerful letter on what she calls “UNintentional racism.” The mum, Brigette Diez Kerr, says she’s never been “intentionally racist,” but when her 7-year-old daughter asked for braids to match her best friend, the mum was suddenly convicted.

    Read Brigette’s story below:

    This is my daughter and her best friend. They’ve been BFFs since nursery. They are in year 3 now. My daughter got up the other morning for school and asked that I fix her hair like her best friend wears her hair. She wanted tiny braids just like her.

    I didn’t give my daughter braids that morning. Instead, I told her we didn’t have time. That was a lie. It was MY fear of my daughter getting teased due to the stereotypes that we place on each other, and how others perceive them, that kept me from giving her braids that morning.

    My pastor just spoke this past Sunday morning of intentional and unintentional racism. I am by no means intentionally racist. I have dear friends and coworkers I love that are of many ethnicities. But was MY fear of my daughter being stereotyped a form of UNintentional racism?! I WAS CONVICTED! How dare I push MY fear, my UNintentional racism, onto my daughter who sees no colour, no stereotype, no hate, no “white girl hairstyle” or “black girl hairstyle”? She only sees pretty hair on her best friend. She shows love to ALL people without hesitation.

    My daughter got her braids this morning. They weren’t perfect…I tried my very best. And she was SO PROUD!


    Her smile was from ear to ear this morning and she couldn’t wait to get to school to show her best friend. She wanted to take a picture with her best friend this morning because they were twins.


    I know so many people who claim to not be racist. Maybe you aren’t intentionally being racist but are there some decisions you are making or thoughts that you are having that may be considered UNintentional racism? We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves! Let’s do a better job of showing this love.

  • I GAVE UP BEING A MOTHER TO INDULGE MYSELF.


    I’m about to hit a “perfect parent”‘s nerve here, but to be quite frank, I’m way past the point of caring.


    I do not give a fuck. No fucks given whatsoever.


    If you’re a mum, you’re probably on a mum’s advice page on Facebook, right? 


    I am, too.  


    I asked a fair question and I was practically mauled by a pack of dogs for it.


    I bet you’re dying to know what it was that I asked, so here it is…


    “My ex-partner has a full time job, he earns £30k plus, he has plenty of disposable income and pays nothing for our child. Am I wrong in stopping contact?”


    Apparently, I was; I was a bitch apparently and God only knows what else.


    So, after a lot of thinking, do you know what I did?


    I decided I couldn’t be bothered to be a mother anymore; yeah, I put myself before my kids. 


    What do they matter anyway? They’re just an inconvenience.


    So, I woke up this morning as usual; I’d usually give my children some breakfast and some juice before school, but today I decided to give it a miss – I scoffed mine down, though. 


    I didn’t bother buying toothpaste when I went shopping either, so they’ll have to skip brushing their teeth aswell – I bought myself some, though. 


    So, then, I made sure the kids were dressed in filthy clothes, ready for school – mine were clean, though.


    It was raining today, but I sent my eldest to school on his own, with no coat. He’ll have to stay indoors and play on his own – coats aren’t cheap, especially mine.


    I went to work as soon as he left. I left my youngest at home, though – I’m not wasting £50 a day on childcare.


    Who has that kind of money to spend?!


    I then had a call from the school to ask why my eldest child wasn’t attending his educational school trip – truth is, I spent his trip money on cigarettes.


    I got home from work and they were both sat in the cold and dark – I spent the electricity and gas money on a night out.


    They started to complain they were hungry again – tough, I’m getting a takeaway when they go to bed. 


    They can skip having a bath and go straight to bed, they can surivive without a wash. 


    It’s Saturday tomorrow, the kids are off and I think we’ll just stay in because I’m skint – I went a bit mad on buying myself new clothes last week.


    Actually, I’ve got a bit of cash spare, I’ll fuck off out for the weekend instead and won’t bother making the effort.


    Of course, I would never do this to my children. 


    Who in their right fucking mind would do this to their child? 


    A man would, that’s who (and apparently some women do aswell).


    If a woman behaved this way, she would have her children taken away and placed in to care – no questions asked.


    So, tell me this – why is it okay for a man not to provide for his children and still think he’s entitled to a relationship with his child?


    There are exceptions, of course – there always are. But, if you work and have money to spend on yourself, you can spend it on your child.


    No fucking excuses.


    Stop defending a man for being a man, it’s WRONG.

  • Baby Left To Die In NHS Hospital

    There is no denying that the NHS is under pressure. Who can forget the red alert meltdown in January? Almost half of NHS trusts across England declared major hospital alerts in one week. But it appears things have been going awry for a long time. As the NHS is forced to keep cancelling non-emergency operations to try and recover control, vulnerable people are being ignored and neglected. And only now are we understanding the full effects of all of this.
    Kayden Bancroft

    Kayden Bancroft was 20 months old when he died at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital (RMCH) in April 2016. He’d been waiting three days for life-saving surgery. After falling and hurting his mouth, Bancroft was taken to Stepping Hill Hospital where it was discovered he had a hole in his diaphragm, and part of his bowel had burst through the hole. Staff asked for him to be transferred to RMCH, but were denied as there was no intensive care bed available.

    He was transferred the following day to an ordinary ward and his surgery was repeatedly delayed. He then suffered a cardiac arrest, with nurses struggling for 30 minutes to resuscitate him.
    Speaking of the trauma, Bancroft’s grandmother Julie Rowlands said:
    “His care was appalling. He was basically put in a room, and left. And all we got, nearly every day, was, ‘He’s not having the operation today, he’s not having the operation today.’ They were coming up with excuses, ‘There’s no bed, or a car crash victim’s come in.’ That’s all we got, all the time we were there, was excuses”.

    Speaking of the hospital’s failure, she added:

    “After his cardiac arrest the doctors tried to bring him round, but he was without oxygen for almost half an hour. They took him to theatre, but I knew it was too late. It was four-and-a-half hours before they brought him back and they apologised there and then and said as a hospital they had failed him”.
    A preventable death

    As the family’s lawyer Stephen Clarkson highlighted after the inquest into the hospital’s failure: “The real tragedy here is that Kayden’s death was entirely preventable”.
    During the incident, it was revealed that senior surgeons repeatedly tried to warn trust management about the shortage of emergency operating theatres. Hospital consultant Mr Khalil also told the BBC: “On Thursday [two days after being admitted to RMCH], one of the surgeons had offered to cancel one of his elective lists, so that he could do Kayden as an emergency, but did not receive the support that he needed. That should not have happened.”
    The trust told the BBC that it had no record of this request. It said:
    “We believe that there are sufficient theatres in our children’s hospital to cope with the demand for emergency cases; however, on occasions some children do have to wait for urgent surgery while emergency surgery takes place”.

    The trust added:
    “The trust would like to make it clear that at no time has it directed clinical staff to prioritise elective over non-elective care. As is the case at most similar hospitals, elective cases are regularly cancelled to accommodate emergency patients”.

    Continued cancellations

    The consequences of cancelling operations and appointments are blatantly clear. But thanks to government underfunding, the NHS has been left without any other options. In 2016, 20,000 eye appointments were cancelled at Shropshire’s hospitals alone. Chief Executive of the NHS Simon Stevens has also revealed this is only likely to continue, as patients must wait longer for non-urgent operations as a ‘trade off’ for improvements in other areas.

    It’s only so long before an urgent case like Bancroft’s gets overlooked in the chaos.

  • Maya The Bee, Offensive Dick Pic

    Netflix  has officially pulled an episode of popular kids’ show Maya the Bee from their streaming service after fans spotted a secret penis etched into some of the background art.

    The story started last week, when one mom was surprised to spot something a little more than G-rated in the background of season 1, episode 35.


    “Please be mindful of what your kids are watching. I did NOT edit any images whatsoever,” Chey Robinson wrote in a Facebook post. “There should be no reason my kids have to see something like this. I don’t know if they’re gonna do something about this or what, but there’s no reasons why this should be in this show.”

    Another mum was able to corroborate her sighting, and tweeted screenshots:


    Then it was off to the races. To be fair, it’s… pretty difficult to argue the carving is anything but a phallus—it’s almost an exact replica of the dick that gets drawn on every worksheet and folder a certain type a school boy encounters.

    Netflix has yet to release a statement about the episode, but the show debuted in 2012, so it’s safe to say the season one episode has reached a lot of young eyes since it was first uploaded.

  • Husband Believes Wife Is Cheating For A Ridiculous Reason

    Matthew Sim’s wife has been wrongly accused of cheating, wait til you see what evidence he has.

    It all started after the birth of Mattew and Jodie Sim’s first child Millie who is now 9 months old.

    Mattew felt that his loving wife had changed and he finally had evidence that she was a dirty cheat.



    Mattew text his wife and said

    You fucking bitch why would you throw our marriage away, I loved you!!!

    I’ve had a feeling you were cheating for a while, never wanting sex with the lights on, constantly distance, tired all the time and find any excuse to “pop out”.. now I have fucking proof, I saw you naked your knees are red raw only way they could get like that is carpet burns from sucking cock

    HER KNEES!!!

    Mattew took to social media to share his wife’s betrayal and the fact she didn’t even have the guts to respond.

    But wait….

    Jodie’s savage reply publically is even better.


    Dear husband, I have never cheated on you although maybe I should of.

    Yes I’m tired I’ve just had a baby, I don’t want to be naked as I no longer feel attractive, I pop out to the shop for the first bit of quiet I have had all day.

    I shouldn’t have to explain myself but seen as you’ve put this post up in front of all our family and friends you have given me no choice but to defend myself!

    MY KNEES… my knees are not from fun times with your imaginary man but from psoriasis.

    It’s time you grew up, maybe if you changed a nappy or fed Millie once in a while I wouldn’t have been so distant, tired and stressed.

    Now kindly apologise publically for being a prize prick.

    Jodie uploaded a photo of the suspect knee.


    Is this one of the most ridiculous reasons to accuse someone of cheating, we have yet to have a follow up to see if the couple have smoothed things over. 

  • This Family Portrait Has A Beautiful, Bittersweet Backstory

    Can someone convey unconditional love, loss, grief, hope and joy all with a single tattoo?

    That seems to be the case for a husband and wife whose backs are adorned with a matching pair of wings. A touching photo displaying their his-and-hers tattoos has gone viral—and when you hear the heartbreaking story behind the image, you’ll understand why.


    A Heartbreaking Loss

    Steven and Gloria Kimmel’s son Isaac was born in 2014. When he was just six months old, doctors diagnosed Isaac with spinal muscular atrophy. The rare, progressive genetic disorder that affects the muscles and nervous system is estimated to occur in one out of 6,000 live births.


    The Kimmels, of Kendallville, Indiana, shared details of little Isaac’s trials and triumphs on a Facebook page called Isaac’s Strength. Although doctors told them that the disorder was terminal, Isaac’s parents relished every moment with their son and even participated in a clinical trial that led to a new drug for SMA patients.


    While he did regain strength for a time, Isaac contracted a viral infection that his little body simply couldn’t fight. Sadly, Isaac passed away at just 14 months old.


    As a way of dealing with their grief, which Gloria called “unimaginable,” the Kimmels decided to have matching angel wings tattooed on their backs.

    ‘He Is Always With Us In Spirit’

    “The tattoo was meant to be his angel wings,” Gloria told Yahoo Beauty. “He was half of each of us, so we each had one of his wings to hold us. He was the angel that was holding us together when we were so lost without him. The tattoos are a reminder that he is always with us in spirit.”


    Shortly after what would have been Isaac’s third birthday, the Kimmels had cause for celebration when their daughter, Claire, was born. To share their excitement while remembering their precious son, the family had a photo taken with swaddled Claire resting on their backs, the angel wings aligned perfectly behind her.


    Gloria’s sister Grace Arend shared the photo on Twitter.


    “My sister & her husband got tattoos of angel wings after their son died 2 yrs ago,” Arend tweeted. “They had a baby girl in June. This moves me to tears.”


    Thousands of people were touched by the emotional family photo, which has been shared on Twitter over 20,000 times and liked nearly 70,000 times.


    Gloria pointed out to Yahoo! Beauty that even now, two years after losing Isaac, she is still learning new ways to cope with her grief. As anyone who has suffered a loss knows, grief doesn’t have an expiration date. For Gloria, she says support from loved ones and her church, plus grief journaling have helped. Here’s hoping the arrival of their beautiful, healthy daughter will help them heal as well.
