AIBU to not want my DS to have this hairstyle?

[greenlantern1]

7 yr DS wants to have streaks razored into the side of his hair, like the footballers have. I can't stand it on young kids - plus I hate buying into that celebrity/sport bullshit culture.

I don't want him to have it. He's going to push for it.

A child is an individual human being not an extension of their parents. With things like safety and health the parent has to make decisions and choose what is best for their child but when it comes to the childs hair and clothes etc surely the childs taste trumps the parents taste? Because that's what it is really, a question of taste. If the school won't allow it (I think that's ridiculous) then he could have it for the summer holidays.
It's his hair not his mum's, plus it's only hair fgs. I just don't get it.

Let’s just pretend like people won’t assume he’s some sort of thug/hooligan based on the combination of football strips and go-faster-stripes in his hair

The people who would make that enormous assumption aren’t the kind of people I feel the need to seek approval from a 7 yo thug/hooligan? Good grief.
