DS is almost 3. He needs a hair cut but the bottom line is, he won't remain still for it. He acts like he's being murdered, literally.

DH keeps bringing it up and threatening to cut his hair himself. Says he will take him to a barber when I'm not there or whatever, which I don't want. He will get his hair cut really short which I don't like on little boys. But he says it loads if times daily, his hair is shocking, etc etc. He won't let it drop.

A quick trim might be possible with a very very patient person but other than that he will be so distraught.

My mobile hair dresser messaged recently to say she's sorry but couldn't do my son's hair again. It took me, her, my SIL and niece to hold him down. Even then she still couldnt do a proper cut.

DS is autistic, non verbal and doesn't understand a basic sentence like 'we're going out today' so won't understand there's someone coming etc. He's very distressed by it all.

He's had a lot of medical trauma at Great Ormond Street Hospital so I suspect that doesn't help Sad

Any tips? I'm tempted to just leave it for a while but if I do DH will either take him or attempt to cut it whilst he's sleeping

i think everyones massively missing the point-your dh doesnt seem to have any interest in your childs welfare other than how long his hair is which is so not important
