My daughter is 13. She was born with Meromelia.
I have always put her hair in a ponytail, or helped her braid it, etc.
Her friends are very understanding and will even help her if they're having a slumber party, etc.
My husband seems to think it's time for her to do it herself, I think he has a bit of a cheek. He has never had to do hair, so has no idea that a ponytail wouldn't go well without 2 hands. He claims that she can't phone me when she's an adult and living on her own, etc.
It's beginning to wind me up and upset her.
I know a lot of people on here think many people like to wrap their child in cotton wool, but this isn't a case of that, it's just helping her do something that she isn't able to do.
Sigh. Sorry for this rant.
