DD1 is 5.5, has long blonde straight hair.
DD2 is 3.9. has strawberry blonde curls. Everyone, everyone comments on her hair. People ask to take her photo or stop me on the street to comment on how 'amazing' and 'special' it is.
DD1 has been asking me to plait her hair, tonight she took the plaits out and her hair hadn't curled, so she broke down sobbing and wailing. Eventually she said that she was jealous of DD2's hair and everyone talking about her, she wants curly hair so everyone will talk about her and not ignore her all the time and talk about DD2 instead.
So, wtf do I do about that?
DD2, fwiw, hates everyone stopping her and telling her her hair is lovely. She says it's annoying and boring and they should stop (to me, not them!)
