if you never dyed the grey out of your hair...

[lljkk]

could you give me some support in dealing with a family member who disapproves?

My dad is getting on my nerves. Once a week we telecon & he always mentions how much white (grey) is in my hair. He doesn't tell me to change it, but I can tell he's commenting because he doesn't like it. Dad is 77 & was saying how happy he is now that his hair is pure white, he didn't like the mixed colour look (which I now sport and am 100% comfortable with).

I want to be prepared to politely with good humour tell him to put a sock in it and not bring this up again. Any suggestions what to say in that tone? He's quite hurt my feelings with similar personal appearance comments like this in past few yrs. I think we need some boundary redefinition. I'll start with hair colour topic and figure out from there how to handle the other comments from there.

Hope I get some replies...

What do you mean, Dad? I spend hundreds of pounds in the hairdresser every month to get this fashionable look

That's the spirit! :)
I'm a selfish cowbag, really. I'm trying hard to do the nice thing, for a change, instead. Don't spoil my momentum, gals.

“Well why did you give me those genes if you don’t like it?”

floisme I hadn't considered that at all but it makes complete sense, I often get a lump when I realise I no longer need to look down to my daughter to talk to her !
