cut sons hair

Duke,

Thats good that you decided (Before I'm assuming) you had kids that you didn't want any. Many times its after the fact that the truth comes out.

My sister who is 12 years older than myself (I just turned 23) decided very early that she didn't want to have children. Her husband had 3 daughters from a previous marriage, which suited her fine. Her reasons were quite simple,
1. my mom had her help with the at-home daycare, where she was aorund kids from 7am-5pm 5 days a week for several years. After that she was like Ewww.
2. The divorce rate is SO high, our mom and her dad were divorced, and she remembers all of that. Plus seeing other families split up by divorce, and everything that goes with it, she didn't want to take a chance of that happening.
She had her tubes tied at about 28 I think (after seeing a psychologist per her OB dr's request) and she is completely happy with that.

On another note.....
Tina,
I think people should respect other's opinions on what they say. You may not agree with it, but no reason to be rude to them about it. There isn't any need to call names to people on here. Your asking how old how he is, maybe you should ask yourself the same questions....

No I don't have kids yet, I plan on it in the next few years though. I am about 10 classes away from my Bachelors degree, and I feel that is an important step to complete first!

Laine, you asked how old I am, I'm 27, and a very grown up lady I might add.
I'm also a great lover, ask any man or woman I've been with!-(tee hee)-.
Jenna, Kathy is a Republican like you-(thankfully a moderate one!)-. I'm more for the Democrats, although on most days I believe they can all take a hike for what little good they do us!

Please Cadensmama get a real life will you instead of crying about your son because he got his long hair cut off and a 1 year old boy does not know that he misses his hair give me a break will yea, there alot more things to worry about than your little boys hair and enjoy him during this time especially at his fun age ok and not his once long hair because i knew a little boy who was almost two who had his hair in the back down to his shoulders and everybody thought he was a girl instead of a boy which isnt right at all

can we please get over the fact that i'm not freaking out so much about his hair!!!!hello!!!am i not being clear? did i not say i liked his new cut?just the way it was done was complete crap!!yes i liked his hair longer...but it wasn't like it was down to his butt!! and as far as getting a life...does a masters in finance and my own daycare not constitute a life? besides my child IS my life...i'm almost 32 and have waited a long time for such a beautiful, sweet being....so the next time we swing insulting messages we should really get the facts...otherwise we just look ignorant!!

ps tina i agree with you...i am also on the moderate republican side but most of politicians can take a long walk....short pier!!

Its was horribly wrong for your mom to cut your sons hair without permission.

Your son might not be used to having the short hair but he will get over it quick enough. If he really wants it long he will say so eventualy (perhaps he will protest a future hair cutting option..."does Caden want to get his hair cut so its out of his face"? "NO!!!!!" Of course he might just be afraid of the hair cutters..they are scary when your young).

He is so young his hair will be long in no time at all! Now at least you know you like it short too.

In the end it should be Cadens choice when hes old enough to know he wants it one way over the other and not that he just wants it how it was out of familiarity (which may be the case too). (...he has a nice name by the way).

If I were a parent of a young boy I would keep it short untill he requests to grow it long. Why? Because it is easier on boys to have short hair at young ages. If I would like to have him grow long hair (which I probably eventualy would) I might suggested that hed look good with it long or even that Id like to see him grow it but that it is his choice.

my three cents

"Well I'm glad some people have kids Jenna, otherwise there would be no people! "

Personaly I think we need more people like Duke who concider what type of world they bring thier children into. Im not saying everyone should NOT have kids. Just that they shouldnt selfishly have kids for the wrong reasons and that in general it would be better for fewer kids to be born. Overpopulation is not a good or healthy thing. Its not just SOME poeple haveing kids. Its MANY MANY people haveing kids! ...and many many of them being born into situations that are not the best.

I have 3 children. It was one of the best things I ever did to have kids. They are well worth it.

Lady you are a stuck up little b@%#@ of a women especially saying i have a masters in finance and I own a daycare place bla, bla, bla you are acting like a 2 or 3 year old so just talk to the hand and relax

Too many personal insults on this thread

Duke - I'm right with you - and respect your viewpoint.
I have chosen not to have children because the city/society I live in is sick and dangerous, the relationships people form tend to be unstable and dis-functional and a myriad other reasons.
However, this subject does not belong on the Long Hair Support board, so I'll say no more about it here.

The above "unknown" poster needs to engage some basic good manners.

Please be polite, respectful and relevant.

I love all of you ladies but I think many of you are being so OVERDRAMATIC! Yes the world is a c.r.a.p.h.o.l.e. we all know that. And if you have kids they will probably be negativly influenced by this awful world and grow up bad and become criminals, prostitutes, drug abusers, lesbians or bisexuals, even waste their time writing on computer boards like this rather than helping humanity and doing something constructive!!!

Well I did all of those nasty, nasty things, I admit it, and I'm happy, -(or at least I'm not too p.i.s.s.e.d off most of the time, tee hee!!!)-. And my life isn't all that bad-(or so I tell myself)-.

It's true, the world is terrible, filled with too many punks and misfits,-(and I don't like alot of people I meet either, so I know whatcha mean!)-, and nearly every government is terrible, I hate most of them, but whatcha gonna do?

If you really look at people, what are we really?

We are some kind of evolved stnking ape! We're nothing special, we are just mammals with a little bigger brain than the other stinking animals, but we're still animals! We're mammals! And it wasn't that many generations ago that our ancestors were swinging from the trees and living in caves!-. So I can appreciate all of your ideals, but please be realistic! We are nothing special, we're just mammals, just humans!
Oh you don't believe we're animals you say? The next time you get hungry, or h.o.r.n.y or have to use the bathroom, try and tell me your not a stinking animal , you are!
Why do you think we spend so much money on soap, and deodorant, and tampaxs, and makeup, and jewelry, and nice clothing, and everything else we spend money on. Because we are just human animals and we are trying to make ourselves look and feel better about ourselves, and pretend we are not just another stinkin mammal!

You have a problem with this mean world? Well, just get your mace, your tear gas canister, your switchblade,your semi-automatic pistol if need be, and buy several locks for your doors, and make the best of it!. JUST DON'T BE A SAP AND FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF AND THIS RIDICULOUS WORLD! IT'S A C.R.A.P.H.O.L.E., SO WHAT!
HAVE FUN, S.C.R.E.W IT!!!

and Monica, we would never be mean to you!
