Well if it's true that "Blondes DO have more fun than Brunettes", maybe she'll drop the "woe is me" attitude to life.

spelling. LOL, wrote fund instead of fun. Maybe blondes have more funds too.

For her, blonde will be a challenge from years of box dye (even though it’s her natural color), but it’s possible if it’s done by a seasoned professional. Probably will need a couple bleach sessions and LOTS of Olaplex. 

The black shade did not complement her, so this will likely be a good thing. It sounds like she understands that it will be a “process”, that’s good also. Many women have unrealistic expectations, like becoming platinum after one session. Nope—it’ll be red-orange and then yellow and then—if you still have hair—a  nice blonde. 

But it’s possible. Billie Eilish’s blonde transformation was amazing (and then she went brown). The blonde looked SO good on her.

What was it called a few years ago when it was trendy to have blond hair with about an inch of dark roots?  Maybe Maddie could be fashion forward and do the reverse.  I had naturally reddish brown hair (chestnut?) and noticed that new growth was coming in white, I never did have salt and pepper grey, so I just kept it short and toughed it out for a few months until it was uniformly white all over.  So much easier to care for, periodic toners and purple shampoos keep it looking reasonably good.

You’re so lucky to have all white hair! Mine is naturally dark and I started going prematurely gray in my late 20s—it SUCKED. Mine is not a pretty white shade. Currently I’m considering going “expensive silver” because dark hair upkeep is ridiculous. I’ve transitioned myself to a lighter shade using conditioning bleaches followed by toners, but I don’t have 6 arms or eyes in the back of my head to get the look I want so eventually, I’ll need a colorist (and $400). 

I’m not sure what just an inch of growth is called—I know the grown-out look is called ombré—like when your hair is lightened from summer and in winter, the darker hair grows out. Nowadays, as far as roots go, colorists often do a “root smudge” to make lightened locks look more natural and to avoid “hot roots” (when your roots are lighter/yellow than the rest of the hair from bleaching). Hot roots are never a good look! 

Back to Maddie—if she just grows her hair out, it’ll be yucky for a while with her length. She’ll need to chop it if she does that, and maybe she’d be adorable with a pixie cut!

Agree. Mine started coming in white and I finally found a “colorist” to take the color out knowing it could be a process. Luckily all my color came out leaving me with white roots and some yellow where the color was. Purple shampoo and an inexpensive L’Oreal gloss make it all look white and glittery. It is such a relief not to worry about roots. Maddie could see an expert to help the process along

Thanks for the tip, I'll look for the L'Oreal gloss.

Eh, I can’t pick on her for this one. My own fingernails are kept trimmed to the nub and occasionally, I find myself nibbling on the tougher skin around them. I do a lot of rough stuff to my hands/fingers and nails would just break. In the summer when doing archaeology, the last thing I want is something for dirt to get under (and not come out).

What does she expect when she posts everything on SM. She wants comments but only the good ones. 

THIS!

If Maddie didn't post her every waking thought on SM, no one would make a single comment about her chewed fingernails. Easy peasy.

She only wants comments that express envy, and people dying to know where she's jetting off to. 🙄 This is the real world, sweetheart. No one gives a shit.

Take a look at the pic before you post it, nitwit. The biggest, most obvious thing in the pic is a big chewed fingernail. So expect comments on it, and stop being a thin-skinned baby. "Picking apart the way I live my life!!!" Over-dramatic hag. Get over yourself.

But, see, here is the sad part that defines society. People DO care, they eagerly watch for postings from those they adore and want to emulate - even people as vapid as the Browns.  It's a sad commentary on the world today.  For every comment that Maddie doesn't like and blocks, there are dozens of obsequious and adoring remarks.

The one who spouts meaningless platitudes about being  a "strong woman" makes a living off shilling crappy scraps of stinky clothing to adoring fans.  It's actually kind of frightening.  There are people who ignore or challenge the  science of vaccines because of one their ignorant sports fans or movie stars made a stupid statement against them.

Influencers are going to be the death of us, I swear.

I agree with this.  It is a sad, scary thing!  

ETA:  Meri, are you missing a daughter here?  It's strange how Maddie is so much like her so-called "bonus mom."  Thin-skinned and snippy.

Please, yes!  GET OVER YOURSELF!  Both of you!

Honestly, Part of me wants to believe she is Meri’s bio daughter😂. Maddie is so unlike Janelle (apart from some facial looks) and so much like Meri! If Mariah and Maddie hadn’t been like 4 months apart, I would have believed they were twins…

I suspect that is because Meri and Kody are actually quite similar. So Maddie having "traits" that remind you of Meri...is because she is more like Kody than she is Janelle.

Mariah is the perfect storm of combining Meri and Kody...

Years ago on an episode Meri said that she did breast-feed Maddie for a while because Janelle couldn’t produce enough milk.

And Maddie nearly died of failure to thrive and weighed less than her birth weight at 2 (or was it 4?) weeks of age.  If she wasn't going to pay for postnatal care, Janelle could at least have sprung for one of those fish-weight scales they use on Call the Midwife to carefully follow each baby's progress in the first few weeks.  My mother had a proper baby scale, but I was premature and she was a pediatric nurse.

IIRC, Maddie was under her birthweight at 6 MONTHS of age.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember Kootie saying such at her weddingk.  I would have been beyond worried had that happened to my daughter.

What is she studying now?  I've lost track of her career/courses choice.

Well, I think the average birth weight of a girl is around 7lb and at 6 months it’s about 10lbs more  (or about 2.5 times their birth weight). Maddie was said to have arrived early, so she was likely less than 7lbs at birth. And if Kody indeed said she was below her birth weight at 6 months, she’d be 5 or 6lbs meaning she would have been severely malnourished!
She would have required immediate medical attention. (Not that he Browns are good at sorting that out)  I’d say this is an unlikely story Kodouche conjured up there. If it holds any truth then the Browns should be very grateful for Maddie to have survived and for them to have escaped charges of child neglect!

The only thing I could find referencing Maddie’s weight was that she hadn’t gained weight in the first 6 months. Did it take 6 months to notice, and react?

This is what I remember, too.  I was wondering how it took so long to notice that she was not gaining weight.  I guess it does happen, though.  I took care of a newborn in the NICU whose mother had development mental issues and was being followed by an agency.  The mom finally took the baby home, and then forgot to feed her.  The baby's obit was in the paper after about 4 weeks.  But this mom was not able to care for herself.  How could a "family" with 3 mothers not notice?
