to think that a little boy with a pink hairclip

[GustWriter]

and long flowing hair half way down his back

is farking ridiculous?

Not wanting to be illiberal or anything, long hair is fashionable and I see a lot of mops on little boys but this is decidedly

GIRLY

How old is the child?

Would the OP be happier if he had a No1 all over? Hmm, what joy it is to have a screaming toddler at the hairdressers.

My Mum used to teach a little boy (probably Yr 2) whose Mum had 3 boys and was so desperate for a girl so poor boy had long hair and was sent to school in dresses until school spoke to SS. In that case yes it was unfair as the litle boy hated it and was once found trying to cut his own hair off . If the little boy does not care who is it hurting?

I love the digger hairclip idea!

why yes you are

why on earth?

i think it's sweet

what an odd thing to get uptight about. DS has his hair trimmed, but only because it grows into a so-attractive mullet after a while.

Boys around here don;t have their hair cut until they are 2 anyway, no sign of them being traumatised by the experience...

and if I was worried about a toddler being called a poof I would book myself right into therapy

vested interest: long haired football playing testosterone charged 8 y o went to school with bobbles, pink top and skirt last term for the fun of it

amen to that, effie

DS is constantly mistaken for a girl, and, as he's only 20 months...who cares?

When he's old enough to understand people referring to him as a girl, he can correct them

wow....how hung-up is this?
also....prom queen style? so you mean, OP, that his hair was long and curly/wavy?

it's not STYLED....that's obviously the way it's MEANT to look, as dictated by his genes....i doubt his mum spent any time with hair tongs that day

such rigid thinking....so unhealthy
