Why do you let your daughter have long scraggly hair?

I don't think I would start something you can't finish, OP. This is clearly about your own insecurities. Maybe you wish your kid had gorgeous instead of *plain* hair. Sorry for you.

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.

You seem kind-spirited and delightful!

Ok, sorry to hijack the thread, since I know we're talking about the serious business of unkempt hair, but I read this and just had to say WTF? Is being "older" with a young child something to be ashamed of according to you? Sounds like it, and I take offense because I am 41 with a 3.5-year old and keep up with her just as well or better than my younger peers. What a ridiculous statement to make. And on the hair issue, combing a girl's hair and putting it in ponytails or barrettes doesn't exactly take physical stamina, so not sure where the age factor comes into play here.

Wow Grandma... You know how to use a computer? I am impressed. Take your old ass to the VFW and play some Bingo.

Hey fat *ss younger mom who didn't go to graduate school or live a life before popping them out. 40 year old with a 2 year old and 5 year old here...my boys always have their hair combed in the morning, bath/hair washed every SINGLE night, and no food smeared all over their faces when we leave the house.

40-year old, size 4, marathon-running, spinning instructor mom that passes for a decade younger and WAH's making 6-figures...I will take your a** on in a heartbeat. Bring it, beeatch!!

40-year old moms can most certainly be hotties. Gwen Stefani, baby!

Agree! PP- if comparing yourself to Gwen Stefani means that you have skanky bleach blond hair then fine. Otherwise I am going to say you are probably reaching a little bit.

I never said I did. Platinum hair and red lips would not look good on me. I do rock a similar body and thanks to good genetics and sunscreen a good face as well!

Sure.... You are so confident in your "rockin" bod that you feel the need to brag about your 6 figure salary. Sounds like someone has some insecurities.

nope. just have it all. unlike you 'classy ladies' that get online to bully (perhaps since DH is out sticking it to someone else...leaves you feeling a little mean and tense). I'd love to see what you look like when you reach 40--all that mean/ugliness tends to etch itself into your face.

Ha! Yes--- but it is fun to see how the trolls get rattled sometimes. Every now and then they meet a worthy opponent that can zing them right where they feel them most insecure.

"the most". typo- not to state the obvious.

My experience has been that keeping my daughter's hair combed and looking nice is harder than it might appear. She hates having it combed (it hurts because she gets tangles easily) but she wants long hair. We used to threaten to cut it unless she combed it or let us comb it. Finally she figured out she could pull it back and it looked much better and we didn't nag her so now she always pulls it back.

They go through stages, but I do feel that I talk about her hair and the need to comb it a lot and I don't want to give her a complex. We used to have arguments on the way to school - she'd say she would brush it in the car and she never did a good job and sometimes I'd get mad and sometimes I'd decide to pick my battles and not worry about it. I don't want to focus too much on her hair, on the other hand, I do want her to be well groomed. (BTW - I am not a fashion plate, but I do look nice on a regular basis. I work so I have to wear work clothes and make up.)

I've also heard that when they hit pre-teen all they do is comb their hair. The "hair" issue is a common problem

Either brush the poor girls hair, put it up, or cut it shorter. It looks trashy!! And don't tell me your DD doesn't like getting her hair fixed. YOU are the parent!

Why do you give a shit?

My four year old boy still wears monogrammed rompers. I love them. I have to order them from South Carolina or Alabama because it's hard to find them in size five around here. And I have to get smocked ones that have a motorcycle or a tractor so that he gets excited to wear them. He looks adorable!
What I don't get is.....why do you care?

Seriously.

OP, assuming you are not a troll, I will answer this way: I do or do not style my hair on any given day for a variety of reasons. Not in those reasons is you. 'Cause I don't give a shit what you think.
'kay?

As a South Carolinian, I love this. Can we please start another thread bashing monogrammed/ smocked outfits?? Please??
