Girl you are so funny and sweet. Yes my son will be 15 this month and my daughter is 9. You know how we black women do. 
Thanks, I needed that laugh this morning.

Thanks for all the love ladies. You all are not your hair 
You have some truly warm spirits. 
I'm so gratfeul to have this board. Without it who knows where I would be in terms of my daughter's hair. I doubt if it would be relaxed, but I know it would be coming sooner or later. I do admit that I think of texturizing her hair when she gets older, just so it will be more manageable for her. But I'll leave that up to her when she gets around 16. I'm thinking, if she texturized, she could get some nice curls. And with my knowledge she'd only have to do it like 2x a yr.
Thanks again for the kind words and support. I see now I really DO need to get back in the hair game so I can get to waist length.

lmao musta been somethin in your water (fountain of youth!) girl you look great! Those pics are adorable.
It's awesome that they have a knowledgeable mom. I have a question for you though.... how do you instill that they take care of their hair when the time comes? What I mean is, (I don't have kids yet so I'd like a few pointers please) how do you teach your kids proper hair care? (to be patient with their hair, do's & don'ts, etc.)

I'm more so concerned about this with my daughter. That is actually one of my biggest concerns. Teaching her to handle her hair. especially since it's natural. In a few years, I'll probably turn her on to this website. The biggest thing will be getting her to wash her hair and keep it tangle free. I'll show her how to wash it in 3 sections. As far as the routine, that should be like 2nd nature to her. Since we already do that now.
One thing I've always done is tried to instill a sense of hair pride in my daughter. I always tell her how beautiful her hair is and how lucky she is to have such gorgeous natural tresses. It worked, because she loves her hair. She's in school with alot of white girls who're constantly throwing their hair around
so it's real important to me for her to know that her hair is fabulous as well.

I struggled with this too. My daughter's friends are mostly white in school, as we live in a more rural 'burb. She loves her hair straight/pressed.
But I have worked to help her understand how beautiful and versatile her hair is. She gets it set at the salon, and I do curly styles at home. They are hard to maintain, but it helps to let the curl texture show through.
I point out to her that curly hair has many style options, where straight (Caucasian straight especially) for the most part just lays. She modeled in a Hair show with other black children and learned that bangin hair can be rod set, "froed" out, braided, pressed.... She still has plaits and buns alot. But she complains much less now.
