My husband is in the Army and likes our sons (11 and 13) to wear their hair very short. The oldest started putting up a fuss so we made a comprise: they wear whatever style they chose during the school year but in the summer they get buzz cuts. Last week, after school was out, the oldest tried to get out of his summer haircut. It didn't work and he is very angry about it. My husband says this will go on until they are 16. Is this too long? Do other parents do this? My husband said he received summer haircuts until he graduatedhigh school. I'm very interested in anyone having any experiences similar to this and their advice. Thank you.

I too had a father who insisted on buzz cuts in the summer when I was little. About the time I was 13 the arguments began. 13 is a time when boys feel they are becoming a man(at least the think they are). To my luck my mother also agreed with this and a comprimise was reached allowing my brother and I to wear our hair a little longer in the summer. This was a man's cut not really much longer, just enough to comb the top down flat. The main thing to remember is that times have changed since we were young(as they always well). Everything that happened when we were children does not apply to the kids of today. The ultimate decision still is in you and your husbands court. Do not take me wrong when I say it sounds as if you are willing to work out a comprimise with your son. The final decision will of course be yours, but do talk with your husband and sons about this, believe me it makes for a lot less tension around the house. I do not know if this helps but good luck
