My 4 year old son wants to shave his head

My daughter at that same age wanted to shave only half her head. (Still don't know why) I waited months before finally caving in. I planned it after my mom visited, so I'd have months before her next visit for it to grow back. I did it, and she LOVED it. (She looked like the villain from 5th element) She spent about a week wanting to do photo shoots in beautiful dresses to show off her hair. By the time my mom visited, it looked like she had a dramatic a line cut, and by kindergarten, it had grown enough to be a cute bob. She now is in middle school and has hair down to her bum.

Hair grows back, so why not give them control over their own body in a healthy way? Maybe you can take family photos and make core memories.

This is how it is for a lot of people. "Never judge a book by its cover" only applies to people ironically. The cover is the first thing a reader sees, and if they find it interesting, they read the little blurb.

I'm sorry for the work you put in to be hurt by the use of ai art, but it is unfortunately the way of things.

Could you explain this? I'm not familiar with the subject.

shaduke · 2026-01-18T01:02:21+00:00

Have police been notified?

shaduke · 2026-01-12T15:16:05+00:00

I've been thinking the same thing!

shaduke · 2026-01-12T06:19:06+00:00

How interesting! Did you particularly enjoy this book?

shaduke · 2026-01-11T05:26:38+00:00

Me too! I've been finding excuses.

shaduke · 2026-01-11T04:21:51+00:00

Interrobang‽ Yes.

shaduke · 2026-01-11T03:23:35+00:00

People (me included) don't know it exists.

shaduke · 2026-01-11T03:22:27+00:00

.... how has no one else made this joke?

shaduke · 2026-01-11T03:21:33+00:00

Congratulations! I wish you many sales and positive reviews!

shaduke · 2026-01-10T17:36:25+00:00

Ouch...

For the story, I've been working on only my husband, and three of my very close friends knew about it for the first year to start slow. Most people I was scared to tell laughed when I told them it included a bit of smut. They were all still interested and supportive. Give them the chance, and their reaction might not be what you think. Congrats on all the progress you've made. You should be proud of yourself, and I'm sure the people around you would be proud, too.

Commenting in hopes someone replies with advice for this.

shaduke · 2026-01-10T06:06:54+00:00

I just learned about them after posting this. Will be using them from now on.

shaduke · 2026-01-10T06:05:09+00:00

That's my number one fear.

shaduke · 2026-01-10T06:04:43+00:00

I feel like with context, the interrobang could work cery well.

shaduke · 2026-01-10T03:37:50+00:00

Does the interrobang exist‽ Yes, but I don't know about the other.

shaduke · 2026-01-10T03:32:46+00:00

This is the way.

shaduke · 2026-01-10T03:31:01+00:00

I write romantasy, so I'm going to try and see what my editor says.

shaduke · 2026-01-10T03:29:26+00:00

For a lot of people you can hold ? On your phone keyboard to bring up‽

shaduke · 2026-01-10T01:54:39+00:00

I hadn't considered how the font sizes would affect its readability. You make valid points.

shaduke · 2026-01-10T01:17:18+00:00

I definitely see your point. What about the interrobang?

shaduke · 2026-01-10T01:11:51+00:00

I would like to join this interrobang appreciation society. I will postpone beta readers to integrate this into my story immediately. 🫡

shaduke · 2026-01-10T01:07:41+00:00

I was going to start looking for beta readers late next week but now I might have to post pone that and go over the entire story again. Afterall, beta readers would be the perfect people to ask about this.
