[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call me a helicopter if you want but this could just never happen at my house. I would definitely notice if one of my children did not brush their hair for an entire day, let alone longer. Also, after each shower when they are walking around in wet hair, it’s pretty easy to tell if it’s been combed or not.

Maybe all these kids need a little more adult supervision.[/quote]

Congratulations--you are clearly a superior parent and human with superior children. You win! Thanks for chiming in to let the rest of us know.

Your child must not have thick hair.  Sometimes girls can brush the hair and it appears smooth and brushed but is it is super thick, but then underneath layers their brush didn’t get all the way through remain tangled.  [/quote]

I have one who does and one who doesn’t, and guess what? I check. It’s not that hard people. Do you think the kids are supposed to raise themselves?[/quote]

I will go ahead and call you a helicopter parent.  My kid is 12.  She takes a shower, sometimes at night before she goes to bed, sometimes the morning when I am working. I don't do hair checks on her when she is done.  She was doing a fine job on her own until quarantine hit, and then she started just putting her hair up all the time.  She didn't realize what would happen to it.  Now she does.  She is learning to be a self-sufficient person who makes her own choices and learns lessons.  That is what growing up means.  My parents didn't shelter me from ever making mistakes, and I don't do that to my kids either.

But feel free to pat yourself on the back about how great of a parent you are if that is what makes you happy.  I just laugh at people like you and feel sorry for your kids.[/quote]
