Rant Rant Rant Not important but Rant

[fairyfly]

My son has just been to my Mums, she rang and said oooo his hair is very long doesn't he need it cutting for school. I said no thankyou mum i am growing it, i want it long.
He has returned with his haircut.
Arrgghhhhhhh

Bloody hell. Out of order if you ask me. V sorry. xxxxxxxxx

Oh I would be furious. Grrrrrrr on your behalf, ff.

Do you have a doorkey to her house? Go round when she is out, re-arrange her furniture and dig a load of plants out of her garden.

Sorry, but that is totally out of order. I would be totally and utterly furious and demand a bl**dy good reason why she ignored your very clear instructions. If she's not prepared to let you parent the way you want to, and that includes how your children look, then she may have to forgo having them to stay. How dare she!

I'd be mad about that. My mom cuts my kids hair but only after asking me first.

and he looks like an arse

Naughty granny.

marthamoo, thats wicked but, it would be fun

or go when she is asleep and cut her hair

2 questions:-

1. Is your mum a qualified hairdresser?
2. Is your son old enough to have a say in whether he wants his hair cut?

I still think she was very wrong to have done it, but there could be a degree of forgiveness allowed for her wrong doing if the answers to both my questions are yes.

I have to forgive her as she is mildly insane and if i breathe a word i will get a huge lecture starting with, well i have only raised 4 children, what do i know, and if you want him to look common at school go ahead......
I am after an easy life just now, but thanks for the suggestions, i will daydream instead.......

oh and goosey

No1 No but she is qualified at everything in her own mind.
No2 he is four.

I really do hope she comes on mumsnet, i fancy an over the top family saga

omg - not on at all

Oh, lordy me, I'd have gone ape-sh*t, that's dreadful.

Re Marthamoo's suggestion, I do know someone whose father had a key to her house and she came home one day to find he'd repainted the living room in a ghastly colour while she was at work!

I can't start thinking of revenge tactics for my mum and my x, i will loose the plot.

My granny cut my fringe (badly) when I was little and my Mum went mental. My mum then repeated this heanous crime herself, and cut my brother's dd's hair. She had 4 braids put in on holiday, they got all matted and knotty and my Mum thought they were tacky so just cut them out at the roots! Unbelievable.

Have told my Mum to stay away from DS's hair - I want it long too.

Hey, FF, my mum tried to re-name my nephew. She rang my sister up and told her she'd like to give them the 'gift' of a name. Sis was so wiped with a new baby and a four-year-old that she said vaguel 'OK, mum, you can refer to him as that because my partner's mum's insisting on calling him by his middle name'...and then she put the phone down and realised that in fact, our mother was trying to re-name the baby completely.

Id be really upset. I told everyone if I have a boy next I want him to have long hair & they all scrunched their noses & rolled their eyes. Bloomin cheek. Hell be my little fontleroy not theirs!! It is very dismissive , its like "mother knows best" .

She rang you after it was cut.

It'll grow back, but I'd be pissed, too. But not too much.

FF maybe you could get your mum to cut ex h's hair?

Lol MI, my mum just thinks that if he doesn't look like a spoff then people will think he's common, she's off her bleeding nut. Daily Mail reader, of course.
I wanted a little hippy boy

I'll get her to cut is throat

gosh that was a bit much sorry, don't ring the police, i didn't mean it

FF, tell her my DN goes to a PRIVATE SCHOOL and his hair is practically on his shoulders. (He's 13, a bit skatey and has a band.) Currently it is not common!!! So ner.
