Gah! My Mother!
She loves my DDs dearly and is very good to them but I don't know whether to say she's a control freak or just odd, but I'm sure IANBU to think at least one of these must be true.
DD1 has just got off the phone with her Grandma having been chatting about spending some of the hols with her. DD let slip that she was going to put a couple of semi-permanent pink streaks in her hair.
My mother nearly had a fit! She's not only refusing to take DD1 out with her "if she has that muck in her hair", she's adamant that no hairdresser will agree to cut hair with pink streaks in it, so there's no way she will take DD to her hairdresser as previously planned.
DD came off the phone rolling her eyes. "You do know that Grandma never lets me watch Eastenders when I'm staying at her house, don't you? She says it's not appropriate for my age".
This is the Grandma who will only allow the DDs to take Barbie cups with attached plastic straws up to bed "because they'll spill normal glasses of juice".
DD1 is 15!
