Isn't it ridiculous when a little kid has a mohawk?

Question

My husband and I took our 2 children to the park for a few hours yesterday and saw a kid with a mohawk. He must have been like 7 or 8 or so. His mom was white and his dad was Mexican. Can you believe he had a mohawk? It wasn't a fake one either, it was real. I would NEVER let my son get a mohawk.

Answer 1

I agree that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. I saw a little boy about 5 years old walking around with a spiked one. I thought that the parents were retards for allowing a child to walk around looking like that.

Answer 2

I think that in today's world the generation that is having children are more laid back. I think what is on the exterior just doesnt matter as much as what is inside. My niece does fabulous in school, extrememly well behaved and is one of the nicest kids you'll ever meet, if a mohawk is what made her happy, then so be it.

Im 25 and I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, people thought I was crazy cause when she was about 6-12 months old she had a onesie by a band- Tool, which is a harder rock band. Judge me if you will, but a mohawk, a shirt or anything else doesnt create WHO my child is, or any other child.

Answer 3

First, little boys LIKE having a mohawk, and it isn't like it's the 80's any more, when it was a shocking thing to see. My boys, 8 and 10, have both had them at one time or another. It's cute, especially if it fits their personality. And why does it even matter that the kid had a white mom and Mexican dad? Sheesh...

And as for what the person above me posted, it's not always the parents trying to live through their kids...Aren't adults free to have a mohawk if they like?

Answer 4

A young kid should be able to pick out their haircuts and clothes. If they get a little crazy with it, who cares? They're kids. The only time you're allowed to do things like that without it affecting what kind of job you're going to get or your future is when you're a child. Besides that, why would you want to stifle your childs creativity? It's probably just a phase.. let them go through it! Parents are too controlling and want their kids to be a certain way. People are too worried about what their children doing and how it might reflect on them.

Answer 5

Wow.... a mohawk? I hate mohawks and I'd never get one ,,, I don't like buzz cuts either ,,,, I don't like my hair frosted or permed ,,,, and what's with dreadlocks? I wouldn't want those either so I wear my hair straight and natural (including a couple of stray grey's),,, but when my son is older it's going to be up to him as to how he wants to wear HIS hair ,,, it's just not one of the "big" issues to me in raising my son,,,, I'm still from the school of "Don't judge a book by it's cover."
p.s. and I really hope you didn't mean anything by the whole "his mother was white and his dad was Mexican" because then I'd have to refer once again to the whole "Don't judge a book by it's cover" thing. Thanks

Answer 6

nicely... mohawks are not somewhat a huge deal to me. Doing their hair like that takes about as a lot time as reducing their hair any incorrect way. countless the time although, it is basically the dad and mom liking that hair type and doing their childrens' hair up like that. a minimum of that changed into the total reasoning in the back of the unusual hair kinds placed on the boys in my relatives. My mom once watched a touch boy who begged to have his 'rat-tail' decrease off, yet his mom wasn't about to diminish it off, no count number number what the boy idea. i have not in any respect met a touch boy who had to have his hair dyed. It changed into continually the mummy or dad saying "would not or not it is cool to have this carried out" and convincing them, then doing it. similar with each and every little boy i have considered who had their rings carried out at that age. i'm particular this isn't each and every mom both, yet with the moms in my relatives who've carried out this (3 of them so a concepts) it is also been component to "i favor him to look cool". type of a vicarious residing with the help of their baby. Now, with information from about 6+, the boys look much better able to settle on it themselves. they commonly ask for an outrageous type, attempt it out, and choose it is too a lot paintings/difficulty. I see that as slightly distinct. They requested for it. yet when I see a three 12 months previous such as his hair dyed and spiked... it really is mom or dad. not him.

Answer 7

I thinks it can be very cute on some kids. My husband has a more alternitve style, he used to ride bmx, so when it warmer outside thats how we will get our sons hair cut. Your are probly one of those parents who judges people on how they look and you will probley teach your children to do the same thing. Just to let you know, my grungie husband with his afro (hes white) thick side burns, and full on beard, and baggy pants, and strange shirts, works around 110 hours a week to support his kids, doesnt do drugs, showers daily, and is the kindest person you could ever meet. Mabey you should jsut stop juding a book by its cover, and i hope that you dont teach your children to do the same thing you are.

Answer 8

I think its really cute on little ones. Besides its just something that they are trying to get control over...and it's just hair. Who cares? I dont know that i'd want him spiking up a foot of mohawked hair but theyre just trying to be creative and theyre not hurting anyone.

Answer 9

Frankly, I think what kind of hairstyles a parent lets their kid have is pretty insignificant...you gotta pick your battles. If the kid REALLY wants one, what's the harm in letting him have one? Sure, he'll look ridiculous, but it will make him happy. Better to focus on the bigger issues, like making sure the kids make good grades and don't use drugs. Besides, it will be absolutely hysterical when he's grown up and the family is together looking through old albums, and he'll be kicking himself that he wanted that haircut! :)

Answer 10

My oldest son is 11. He wanted a mohawk a few years back. My reply was, "When you are 18, and not under my roof, do it. Till then, hell NO!" I not only think they look ridicoulous, but I think that more parents need to put their foot down, and just say NO! I can see spiking it a little, like the style may be, but no way to a mohawk!
