It's not the e...@southern sage - It's hair. It's not the end of the world. Being able to express oneself is important, even at 7 years old. If his personal decision isn't harming anybody then why not let him make it. He is, after all, his own person.<br /><br />Yes, children need rules, structure and boundaries, but aren't those all in place to provide a safe and healthy environment? I don't see how that extends to hair and clothing (revealing clothing on a young female would test the safe and healthy boundaries).<br />And if, as a parent, you can't win against a child's argument of "well you let me do X to my hair, it's not fair that you don't let me ______" then that's really unfortunate.<br /><br />I think it's horrible to make a child feel his own personal tastes are "weird" or "wrong". As a parent you already have so much influence on your children. To leverage that for something so unimportant as a hair style is pathetic.<br /><br />Basically, what this comes down to, is that you and Darius's father have PERSONAL TASTES when it comes to hair on males. Or even worse, that you may be embarrassed how your child looks with a different haircut. That's putting yourself before your child, which is also pathetic.Niethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291082187870547525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746443.post-7287865116465990252009-06-27T09:52:45.029-07:002009-06-27T09:52:45.029-07:00Hmmmm

Before anyone told D what he could or couldnt do with his hair you all should have discussed it.<br /><br />If he is 7 and lives at my house he will wear his hair in a fashion his mother and I approve, wear the clothes we approve of and so on.<br /><br />Would you let him grow it out then get one of those mohawks that they spike up 2 feet high and colored purple, pink and green?<br />I have seen those twice on kids 5-10 yrs old. <br /><br />I am against over indulging youth. They must have boundaries, clear boundaries or they seem to run a muck. Or at least that has been my observation with the people I was raised with. The ones with strict rules have done much much better in life, those without, no so much.<br /><br />All that is my opinion based on my observations.<br /><br />I wouldn't let my boy child have hair on his shoulders, but thats just me!<br /><br />Hope the Mr gets out of his funk!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
