Why do you let your daughter have long scraggly hair?

[Anonymous]

Now I kind of want to go to Chicco's to see what all this talk is about. Is there one in the DC area?

There's one in Clarendon.

Around the corner, there's a hair salon.

I want to be your friend! You're hilarious!

Is this the same person who made the "monogrammed romper" comment? If not, there are two people responding to this thread who are freakin' hilarious!

What does brushing your kids hair have to do with pageants? I don't know PP but it sounds like you might be projecting some of your own insecurities onto the OP. Or maybe the Chico's comments earlier in the thread really got to you. Or maybe the fact that you are likely 42 with a 3 year old and know your old ass can't keep up with your kid so she looks like a sloppy mess got to you. Either way I don't really care. You just seem like a mean spirited person.

I think YOU'RE a mean-spirited douchebag for making age an issue like that.

HOLY MOLY! Is this really a topic????

I am biracial and I have INSANE hair and I very seldom let anyone comb it. Also, God bless my momma, but she was one whilte woman who did not know how to take care of hair with my texture. I often wore puff balls, lol! For my own daughter, I let her do what she wants with her hair. Last summer she dyed the tips turquoise (as did I just for fun!) and I have always let her do what she wants with it.

Why does the OP care so much? Would she like to personally come over and style the hair of all of our daughters? If so,, she can do mine too!

Yet another thing to add to the trashy column...

@14:21 Oh, please! It's just hair! It can be cut off and it can be dyed back. It's not permanent. As far as the "trashy column" goes, I'd say that the ignorance of your comment makes you a great candidate for being under the trashy column. Loser.

there is a girl at my daughter's daycare that I SWEAR never has her hair brushed. She also wears dirty ballerina skirts and just looks like a ragamuffin. She may be nice and sweet but just looks like a mess--and I totally blame the mom.

I am sorry but if you have a daughter just buy some of that johnson and johnson leave in conditioner and brush the kids hair while they are brushing their teeth and slide in a barrette. Come on people, be the parent.

Oh, I dunno. I have to side with the person who thinks turquoise hair is trashy.

Also, why point out you're biracial? Who cares? It's not relevant. Just makes you sound like you have a chip on your shoulder.

Really??? I suppose you dont bathe your child either. It takes about 2 minutes to braid my daughter's hair. No I am not involved in pageants but I do think that taking pride in one's appearance is an important value to teach and as a parent you need to lead by example. Maybe if so many of you were not of geriatric age or have spit out too many kids you could find the time for your daughters.

Maybe if you had waited a little longer to have kids, your maturity level might have been kicked up a notch or FIFTY - preventing you from making such ridiculous generalizations.

As mean as the comment is I do find that alot of older moms seem to not bother with just the general upkeep of their children. I am not a pageant mom by any means but I do try my best to make sure my child starts the day out looking presentable. I am not sure why some on this board think that is vapid but I do know that your looks are what give people their first impression

First off, to the person that made the comment that being biracial doesn't make a difference. It absolutely does. Hair texture is different and sometimes very difficult to manage.

Also, why does a person wanting to try something different over the summer, like dying their hair a vivid color, make them trashy? I didn't realize that every person had to fit a certain mold to make them not "trashy". I must not have gotten that memo.

By the way, there is a big difference between giving your child the choice to dye their hair and not taking care of that child. My daughter is never dirty, she just had turquoise hair for a while. It was fun! She didn't wear it at school, it was just a summer look. To the person who originated the "trashy" comment, you sound like an elitist.
