The mom had pink streaks, and I am not judgemental, I think it is fine, I just want to know what the general public thinks....

I was a 30-year-old mom with pink streaks. It's also been orange, blue, purple, black, peroxide white, and Crayola red. Or combinations thereof.
I have a job. I meet with clients. I'm very competent. And I'm a good mom.
Hair's just hair. You can always change it.
What's the big deal?

I don't thin there's anything wrong with it at all. In fact, if I had the money (I spend it all on diapers and baby food now!) I would be doing stuff like that to my hair still. I'm in my early twenties, and I've been dying my hair for somewhere around 7 years now, and so many people judge me right off, just by what color I'm sporting at the moment, no matter that I was an honor roll/dean's list student all through, captain of my flag corps, and very responsible.
No, just cause I had, oh, blue hair (this one only spray in, one of my school colors), or black hair with red streaks (my mom's favorite, actually), there was obviously something wrong with me and I wasn't to be trusted, and I needed someone to follow me around the store to make sure I didn't shoplift, and heaven forbid I try to raise a baby!
My son is seven months old now, and my hair dying has been toned down to only updating the red every month and a half or so.
So I say good on her, for being able to keep up with her own needs as well as the baby's, and for letting her personality shine through!

Did she dye the baby's hair pink? Then that's just stupid. Not only is it dumb, but depending on what type of product she used, she could make a baby sick from the fumes of the dye. If she's dyed her OWN hair pink. Then who cares??
I've had fuschia, purple, burgundy, red (and I mean RED) and auburn hair. Since I've been a mom I've had auburn (current color) red with blonde streaks, dark brown, blonde (for a half hour only, yuck) and light brown. It doesn't change how I parent. It doesn't change what my kids think of me. It does make it rather hard to get a decent well paying job with fuschia hair though. If I could have fuschia hair and still keep a good job, I'd do it.
Why conform? Having different colored hair doesn't make me weird, or creepy, or an unfit parent. It just makes me look different, and I like it. So go talk to her, she's probably a pretty cool chick, and you might find that you have something in common with her even if she does have pink hair. =)

I'm 31. I have two young children and I'm expecting my third. I have naturally brown hair but dye it dark brown (almost black) with purple and pink stripes through it.
I get compliments everywhere I go. I can't go anywhere without someone telling me how much they like my hair. I've even had older women--older than my own mother--tell me how much they like it and how they wish they could pull it off.
I run a home business and my clients do not seem to mind. I coach cheerleading for 10-12 yr. old girls and none of their parents think anything of it. If they do they don't tell me and most of them have complimented my hair.
Up until last year I also had 17 piercings. But many had to come out because they were annoying me and one was infected. No one thought anything of those either. Again I got a lot of compliments mostly from people telling me they wish they could pull off that same look.
I don't think you should be put off my what color her hair is.

I think she likes pink and I think you are a little odd for checking her out and asking ppl on the web what to think of her rather than just saying hi to your new neighbor. Stop judging ppl over silly things like hair color. If you find out she is sacrificing neighborhood pets or virgins then feel free to judge but if she put pink streaks in her hair get over it.

Well, I guess I don't agree with it, but then again I don't believe parents should have their babies ears pierced either. Some babies when they get tired they pull on their ears. All I see is E.R. visit!!! Or when the kids start school they play at recess, etc. Torn ear lobes!!
Thank Goodness I have BOYS!!!!!
I may be confused.... Does the mom have pink streaks or the baby??? If it IS the mom, then my answer is void, if it is the baby with pink streaks, my answer stands!!!

OK for starters the color of her hair doesn't have anything to do with how good of a mother she will be. She just has a fun personality and doesn't feel she has to look a certain way to be a good mommy. Let her be who she wants to be and just be yourself around her and go talk to her. She may feel kinda out of place and shy in a way and she wants to make friends. So help her. Maybe she has alot more to worry about with being a mom soon and she has alot on her mind. Be kind and please don't be so judgmental.

I really wouldn't care--I'm a "unique" mom myself. I don't conform to what this society expects moms to look or act like. Honestly--what you are feeling is NORMAL. Half the people in here say they wouldn't care--but trust me they do. I get looks all the time! From more then half the people who see me with my son. It's nice for someone just to say "Hi" and introduce themselves without judgment. I can see it in people's eyes if they are being genuine or not. I guess I'm just glad I'm not the only "crazy" mother out there. Best of Luck!

So what? I mean, is she a good mom or neglecting her child or what? Does she act weird or does she just have pink streaks in her hair? I think she's fine.

There ain't nothing wrong with it. Doesn't mean she's a bad mom or nothing. I know that people think stuff like that about me because I have peircings and tattoos and I do not dress like your "average" mom. So give her a chance and see whats up. She may be one of the best people/mothers in the world...you never know!
