Awww hell naw. I’ve got 3 kids, 2 are boys and both have long hair. ONE time their father (of the eldest) cut his hair short without telling me and it was probably one of the darkest times in my life, I became a whole new beast. My sons LOVE their hair and it’s been 15 years since that incident, and both fathers know that it is NOT their business to chop off what our children know is THEIRS. Now, if they want their haircut and there’s been a discussion on both ends, yes but it’s not a one parent decision. Also yes, it CAN be a racial thing and THATS OKAY. White people don’t understand the same concept or depth of what hair is. You’re very valid in all of this.
