yesterday I posted a discussion about someone commenting on the fact that my son needed a haircut. All I wanted to know was how people would react when and if someone said your child needs a haircut. I was just starting a discussion like anybody else here. I was not upset this woman said anything. but apparently a couple people thought I was and was very rude to me saying something along the lines that my opinion doesn't matter and I should listen to them. well here is a pic oh him and granted it may need a little trim, but his hair is so thin that i'm waiting for it to thicken up some. my hands are not stable to trim it and i'm not paying $10 to get it cut right now. I think he looks fine. I wasn't trying to upset anyone when I started the discussion. my apologies.

Dont tell me,My son had his first tonsure done last month and till then he had this doni style which people say it is really cute for him but then when the summer started then people started yelling at me telling me to get his haircut done which we couldnt do it at that time becoz we have the traditions which need to be followed.They all felt bad for my son as he was the one who was suffering from the heat.Finally he is free now and he is enjoying and I am happy.
Regards

Your son's hair looks just fine. I would not worry about some silly people that feel they have to stick their noses & mouths where they don't belong. I know people who deliberatly let their little boys hair grow quite long and much longer than what I see in that pic. Your son is adorable...ignore those people!

Hi shymurl
I think your son's hair style is ok you no need to cut it or taking into saloon for trimming because he is too young his hair is also so thin it is ok form him.No need to feel about other words.

I think his hair is really cute as is. He still has that baby hair! Once you do cut it, that baby hair wont come back, so think long && hard before you do cut it.
Right now, I wouldn't... I don't see nothing wrong with his hair. it's gorgous!
But, just so you do know, it probably wont ever thicken up. It will just stay like that, it will just get longer && stringy. If you were to cut it, it would thicken it. But that is only a choice you can make!
In my opinion, I don't think he needs it, but if you wanted to, there wouldn't be a problem with that either...
Cute kids by the way!

I saw (and responded) to this discussion. I saw nothing wrong with it and did not find you rude at all. If anything the woman that told you that your son needs a haircut was being rude. The next time anyone brings up that your son needs a haircut ask them if they are willing to pay for it! 
Your son is absolutely adorable, and if that is his current hair length in the picture it isn't long at all!

Nothing wrong with your son haircut, it is fine as long not come into his eyes, normally people keep saying that word, even to my daughter they keep on saying she need to go & cut her hair, but i just listen to my other ear & come out in another side as long i see my daughter hair is fine & for me she still beautiful.i dont care what peole say. so dont listen to them your son is so cute.

First of all..your son is darling! I wouldn't get his hair cut yet if I were you. Some people think that all boys have to have short hair cuts. I think it looks fine the way it is. At least you don't have it in a ponytail or something like that.
I'd just ignore those people. Must be they were having a bad day and for some reason taking it out on you.

My first response would be that it is no one's business but your's. How I reacted would depend on who was making the comment. Most people don't deserve a response and I would take it as words coming from someone and let it go in one ear and out the other. There are some who I would come right out and tell that it is none of their business and they should worry more about what is going on in their own homes/houses/families, etc, depending on how the comment was said. Some people make comments just to get a reaction and others make them just to be heard and sometimes it is so unimportant that it doesn't deserve or warrant any kind of a response at all. Your son is gorgeous just as he is and if you are happy with his hair, so be it!

Your son's hair is probably shorter than the picture I have of my son on here. I believe this is after it grew out from the "kitchen shears" incident where his sister helped him by cutting the back.
My son knows that he is in control of whether he grows his hair or cuts it. It's his hair. He keeps it cut on his own. I don't make the decision for him.

Oh my goodness! When my son was little his I kept his hair much longer than that! And, at 13, his hair was almost as long as mine until he decided to get it cut to make his grandmother happy. I think it's all a matter of preference. People were always telling me he needed a haircut, but I've always been a bit of a rebel!! Your son's hair really doesn't look that long... in fact, I think it's cute!

Well if you were a good mother you would cut his hair, nah I am just joking, but perhaps you have stopped reading already haha. I actually think that his hair is cute, what's wrong with having longer hair anyway? People are so stuck on what a gender must look like, I personally think it's much more interesting to break that standard. I am not saying your child looks like a girl though haha, I am saying that I think long hair is good on just about anyone, and people are stupid for trying to tell you what "should" be done, as if it is morally wrong or something that he has that hair. Don't listen to people, your child should be healthy and happy no matter what his hair looks like, come on now people, this is a carefree child.

He does not need a hair cut! He is fine just the way he is. I am actually STILL made at my sister. She got my nephew hair cut when he was 1 and is 9 now. He had like shoulder length think curly light brown hair. She got it cut and it grew it really dark brown and is really really thick and he lost his curls =(. I am still mad at her till this day!

I haven't read your other discussion but I think it's up to you and you alone if your son should get his hair cut.
My youngest son won't have his hair cut it's a drama for me to get him to go the barbers and many people at one time were always telling me to take him for a trim, I honestly couldn't of cared less what they said, it had got nothing to do with them, he does now go to the barbers we reached a happy compromise.
Take no notice of what folk say, it's all done on the net, most would not be so brave if they were face to face with you.

What a darling child! I don't know who told you your opinions don't matter; but everyone's opinion matters. In my own humble opinion, it's nobody's business but your own if or when you may decide to cut handsome's hair. BUT, if he were mine, I wouldn't cut it...just my opinion mind you.
