Sounds like they were genuinely disappointed her curls were gone. Why are they not allowed to express that and why are you so aggressive about it? Modern mothering!

When we mentioned to some one about making an appointment to get it cut they said “oh no, don’t do that it is so pretty,it’s can’t be that difficult” I replied “well,I will send her over tomorrow with her comb and brush, what time is good for you??” needless to say they never made another comment about her hair…:)

It reminds me that as adult women we need to stop basing our own self-worth on appearance
so our daughters have a chance for something more. I want my daughter to know
she is beautiful no matter what.

That strength and self awareness will serve her much better than long hair or curls!

I say way to go little one!

I’ve been asked whether one of my daughters (7), dresses herself. Uh yes. This, in the context of what she put together is “interesting”. Who are we to judge what our kids think looks nice? I wear boring old grays and browns and my hair is always in a pony tail – She on the other hand adds head bands, barrets and she splashes colors, mix match, you name it – and SHE loves it.  And she really does look great. My youngest (4) likes to put in as many barretts in her hair as possible. And she does, every morning…

So – boo – on all those comments about your daughter’s hair. She looks amazing and so great that she had her own idea about it. You are doing something right!

We ran into the same thing when my 6 year old cut off all of her hair. She asked if she could donate it to kids who were sick and needed wigs so I said no problem. She cut off 14 inches of her beautiful, wavy hair into the cutest bob. I loved the new do, she loved the new do and it was for a great cause, but we had the same type of negative response, but boy did people feel bad for saying it once they found out why she did it and let me tell you she told them loud and clear why and then asked why they hadn’t done it too :)
