Kids were meant to have olympics last Friday but with all the rain the school has postponed till Monday. So i get it set in my mind. Ok spend the morning at the school. Then get a few hrs to myself before picking them up. That is until dd decides to cut her hair. (she did this when she was 4 too) She was so upset last time as she didnt want short hair as she did not want to look like a boy. Well we got through that time fairly easily with small amount of tears.

Well this time, she is adament she is not going back to school till her hair grows back. Hmm well tough little miss, it;s your fault. lol Poor darling she is very sensitive with feeling embarrassed, so she doesn't want anyone to see her hair. Why do it a 2nd time in your life?? lol So i've told her if she wants to be creative and cut hair to do it to her barbies like i did as a kid. Not your own hair then have a tantrum you don't want it short.

*sigh*

So Monday i have a take a sad ds to school as he doesn't want me to miss out on Olympics or for his sister to not go to school. Rush over to the shops and hope a hairdresser can fix her hair, with dd most likely crying she doesn't want it short. (She has only cut the sides so i am hoping they can leave the back longer) Then coax her to go back to school. As no matter what i need to be there by 10am.

Argh! Why did you have to cut it again!!

Sorry in clearly going to be a mean mummy but she would be going to school, I would not be missing out my sons sports day because she cut her hair. Tie it up even if it is only half that goes up and if she hasnt cut the back you shouldn't be able to tell.

I'd have made my DD wait until after school to fix the hair. Life does not stop for her bc she cut it. I'd be the mean mummy too. I'm with PP, if you can tie it back that would be great. and do it up with bobby pins etc.

Im with PPs Im a mean mummy! my older two had olympic day on friday and they had a ball! hope your DS does as well

I'm in the mean mummy camp too. There is no way that I would even attempt to move heaven and earth to get my DD's hair fixed if she had cut it off. In fact, I would even seriously consider not getting it cut at all and making her live with it until it grows out.

I have sympathy for a 2 year old that has no idea what they are doing and cuts their hair off, any older than that and I would shake my head and make them live with the consequences.

How old is she? She cut her own hair? live with it

I'm also in the mean mummy camp. You cut it, you don't like it, tough!

We were lucky the 2nd time DD8 cut her hair, she cut underneath at the back. So it wasn't noticable.

I would tell you something little miss would NOT be going to any hairdressers - she cut it she sucks it up. She is old enough to understand what hair cutting does. Ignore her little tanties, she goes to school as planned hair as is. You go to your son's sports carnival as planned. End of story. I would not be bowing to her.

I completely agree with this. Your DD cut her own hair. If you make her live with it and not get it fixed up she won't do it again. Why did she have access to scissors anyway ?
