iâm just gonna take this post for a moment so i can rant but like
i Hate how entitled adults can feel over a childâs hair!
it started when i was young myself, i wanted a mohawk, but my dad didnât approve of that look on a âgirlâ, and insisted iâd regret such a bold cut. at 16 i was finally given full autonomy over my own head.
but then i have a son and everyone around us is trying to keep his hair short. when we finally moved out just me my partner and him, i told him he doesnât need to get any haircuts he doesnât want.
so he starts growing it out, itâs still short but coming on mid-length. his teacher makes a point to tell me itâs getting long as if i donât have eyes. i hear her walking out with him one day talking to him about haircuts, as if to coax him into one. eventually i get child services called on me for âforcing a transgender lifestyleâ over what i can only assume is from a combination of me drawing cute ponies on his valentine box and letting him go to school in a ponytail.
he kept it short for awhile after but told me he wanted to grow it out again, so i let him of course. he comes home one day after getting a haircut at his grandpaâs and tells me he didnât Want the haircut.
i ask why he got it then and learned he was bribed with a promise of a surprise IF he cut his hair.
tl;dr people need to back the hell up off of children and let them have owership of whatâs on THEIR body! /rant
