Mom's lost it...
She actually told me if I cut my hair like this:



that I was no longer welcome in her house.
Is it just me or has my mother truly lost her mind this time?!
I'm all she has left and she treats me this way? I'm 24 years old. Shouldn't I have control at least over my hair? Dear God...Get me out of this woman's house. I have a week left before summer school starts, and I don't know if I'm going to make it that long.
HELP!
Duckie

3. That haircut is so cute!
Sorry, I don't think that helped.

4. She doesn't really mind the hair. She's fine tuning her ability to control
Do whatever the hell you want, always keeping respect. The haircut is completely irrelevant. And I like it.

8. I agree. You're an adult. Don't let your mama control you.
Get the haircut. Damn, that's a cute cut!

Save that, I'm stuck.

12. Oklahoma...
And Western Oklahoma at that. There are 5000 other students looking for work too. I'm screwed until I get out of school.

13. tell her that all of your fave hair stylists are either
booked or on vacation. Buy some time and she'll start bothering you about something else that is even more inane. . .which you can post about, and we'll give you another plan.

Yes, I should have been a political strategist.

14. Betting pool - next up, jeans too tight, skirt too short, bare midriff -
Badboyfriend or lack of boyfriend, money. Others?

Hang in there - do you have any out-of-town friends to visit?

15. At 24 years old, you are entitled...
Edited on Fri May-21-04 10:07 PM by Hell Hath No Fury
to cut your hair anyway you choose, regardless of who's roof houses you. You got that right the minute you turned 18.

Good lord, when I showed up at home with a hot-pink mohawk, Mom hardly batted an eye! :) That 'do in the picture is positively chaste.
