My husband and son went to the barbers today, and my six year old son came home with zig zag tramlines cut into his short, back and sides. Apparently, he asked for them, but I think they are horrible. Who should I be most mad at? I can't decide.

I'd be annoyed with the barber if he cut tramlines into the wee fella's hair without checking with your husband. But if he did and your husband gave his consent, you should be cross with him. Sorry but tramlines are horrible - at least you won't have to endure them for too long. It's not his school photo this week is it? Because that would be gutting!

Don't be mad, it will grow out soon. Just be happy he didn't do it just before pics or a big event like a wedding! Maybe mom and dad need to have a talk about when it is appropriate to let him be creative and when he needs to conform. It will be a good lesson for him and a good time for the family to discuss how to deal with more upcoming issues.Life will be changing fast and bigger decisions will need to be made. Make a game of it and guess what he will come home with on the "ok to be creative" days! Have fun and don't sweat the small stuff.If you come down hard on him about little stuff, he will more likely rebel more.

Your husband. He was the responsible adult looking after the 6 year old and the barber could only do what your son wanted with his father's permission. Your husband should have told your son that he would have to discuss it with you first. Parents should always consult together over their children's wants and each should listen to everyone's opinions (including the child's) and then try to reach a mutual answer. If you don't do this children soon learn how to play one parent against the other to always get their own way.

The only person to be upset with is yourself. ( You were the one with preferences but chose to be absent from the procedure- this left other people with other preferences in charge of the situation.) Then get over it quickly.
If a six year old cannot be creative with his appearance then who in the world can?
He will be pressured to conform soon enough. Being a free spirit is a good thing.
He is not a representation of your worth in the world. Learn as soon as possible to see him as a separate being with dreams and wishes and ideas of his own. This includes little things like trimlines in his hair.
Some boundaries may be called for, but it is best if you make them distant and real. That means make them very far away from his day to day experience, and make consequences for violation substantial so that all involved know that violations are to be avoided.
My hair rule for my daughter was "clean neat and out of your face and yes, a purple mohawk qualifies." We never had hair battles, and she grew up to be quite responsible, thank you.

Don't be mad at anybody! The hair will grow back! Your husband is a parent, too, and had the right to authorize it. Look at his cute face, and ignore the hair. It'll be good practice for later. :-)

Its a fashion thing you know - like others have said it will grow out, and very quickly considering the cost your hubby paid to have it done!!!!!
Its also your sons way of expressing himself, it could be a lot worse believe me!!!! Don't be mad if you can help it, feel proud that he wants to experiment, and isnt too shy to do so

Don't be mad, silly!
I bet your son was thrilled with his new 'do, and you should be proud of him for expressing his budding sense of style, whether you like it or not. Try to see it from his perspective -- and you won't be able to help but share his excitement.

If your son likes them, then don't worry about it. It will have grown out by the time he goes back to school! But make sure its you that takes him next time...
