Mom really had to make that $4.75/hour stretch.

    As a women I don’t get much say in it, but we could never afford haircuts growing up so dad and I cut each other’s hair, but I wasn’t given much choice. The top one looks like someone tried to make a little kid into an adult, but on the other hand, if he wanted it that way, why judge? Especially if it helps their self esteem.

    I am a huge proponent of letting kids choose their own style and express themselves, even if we think it looks bad. I knew a lot of kids growing up with bowl cuts, snazzy buzz cuts, and just generic “insert male haircut here”. It is just hair. It grows back. There is always going to be a little extra to unpack once you get their peers involved, but that is another lesson entirely (body image, unhealthy expectations, etc).
