My DS1 came round this morning to pick up some stuff to go to a festival this weekend.

Nice to seem him

BUT.

HE HAS CUT ALL HIS HAIR OFF!!!!

I dont care that he is 17 and doesnt even live at home.
I dont care that its his body and his head and his hair.
I dont care that he is still very handsome.

HE CUT HIS LOVELY DREADLOCKS OFF. He has had them for years. They took years of loving care (by me) to get looking so beautiful.

And now they are gone

His reason? So he can get more modelling work

He isnt a model by they way but expects to be snapped up any minute. He IS very good looking but its hardly a career plan.

Anyhow. I dont care. HE CUT HIS HAIR OFF.

Now flame me for being a controlling matriarch who cant cut the cord. Go on.

Haha.

He is very striking and does get lots of sideways squints from older women. Its horrid.

What was even horrider - I went to a carboot sale with him and the two babies. We were browsing and it became quite clear that several people assumed we were a couple.

OMG OMG OMG. I felt weird for days and days.

bleugh bleugh

tinker you sure you want me for your DD's potential MIL? Could lead to some interesting AIBU threads in the future

(1) You are without doubt an evil witch.

(2) Please can I introduce your son to my daughter? He sounds great.

JamieAgain · 07/07/2011 21:15

mmmm

LolaRennt · 07/07/2011 21:14

he's not my son jamie...

mmm Lenny,

JamieAgain · 07/07/2011 21:12

... on account of the fact that LK is yummy, in case I wasn't clear

JamieAgain · 07/07/2011 21:11

Also, I think it's rather inappropriate to be equating Lenny Kravitz and an esteemed MNers 17 year old son in my mind

LolaRennt · 07/07/2011 21:10

sorry should have marked warning sensitive bad form on my part

JamieAgain · 07/07/2011 21:09

Can I just ask - are dreads not really really heavy? Am imagining having headaches a lot. I do like the way they look.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 07/07/2011 21:06

He is a bad bad boy and should be punished .

He will regret it and then you can mock support him in a loving motherly manner .

HoneyNorwegianRidgebackdragon · 07/07/2011 20:32

I suppose I should admit at this point that when I was his age

I got my nose peirced. (this was in the 80s and people stared)
Had a mohawk
Got orange and black dread that came down past my bum
Wore a chain from nose to ear
Dyed my hair a different colour every week.
Lived in squat in Brixton.

But thats not the point!

thefirstMrsDeVere · 07/07/2011 16:24

Maryz I was wondering when you migh rock up on this thread

Yep he came round. He wanted to get a sleeping bag out of the loft.

He also took the coat I bought him last year that he refused to wear because it was ugly and anyway he doesnt get cold

He shouldve taken a hat as well [not ready to let this drop emoticon]

Mine wasn't like that, mine was plaited somehow.
We'd spent time at an elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai. DH bought it for me the old romantic

ElizabethPonsonby · 07/07/2011 14:59

DP has very long dreads.... :o

ponders cutting a foot off Dp's dreads...

melezka · 07/07/2011 14:59

oh alright elephant hair you go

thefirstMrsDeVere · 07/07/2011 14:59

Damn fool boy.

He will soon get annoyed at the lack of attention from the girlies. I reckon he has been taking it for granted.

I shall say very loudly 'told you so'

You gonna have to tell him that modeling work wont come if he keeps pulling funny faces at cameras... unless he plans on becoming like Zoolander!

melezka · 07/07/2011 14:57

They're so wrinkly...difficult.

ruthieCohen · 07/07/2011 14:57

PS YANBU. Pretty boys with dreads are the BEST.
