6yo youngest son has long curly hair. It just kind of happened partly because I am so lazy and also because he looks so nice with it long IMHO.
My mum ( who is wonderful) has always hated his long hair and never misses a chance to say so. I just smile amd ignore her.
Today however she took me aside for a proper chat and begged me to get in cut for big family wedding this summer.
I said no. She said she will not go to wedding unless I get it cut. I said don't be daft, of course I won't get it cut for that reason.
She said he (ds) looks ridiculous and everyone in the family thinks so.
I said Really, how interesting. I could not care less. His hair stays long.
She said Everyone thinks he looks like a girl.
I said so What? Everyone thought I loooked like a boy whenI was young.
She said PLEASE cut his hair.It is not normal for a boy to have long flowing hair.
I said I don't care .I like it. Dh likes it, ds likes it .
Every so often I ask him if he wants it cut and he always says no.
Mum says he only says this to please me.
AIBU?
