Alex cut her hair. Again. I am completely disgusted with her. The last thing I had time for today was an emergency salon appointment.

I don't think today was the first time, either. There was a section near the front that I had noticed a while ago was suspiciously short. She denied cutting it. (This time our nanny caught her.)

She chose a new style which is quite pretty, and I confess that I am secretly delighted that I won't have to try to wrestle her hair into a ballet bun anymore, because I sucked at it. And her hair was difficult to care for because it's so fine. But for God's sake I have frequently offered to take her to the damn salon if she wants her hair cut. It is completely ridiculous of her to chew at it with scissors.



I wish there were a way to keep people from fussing over how cute she looks, because I don't want her to get a lot of positive attention for misbehaving. But of course there isn't a way.

Yes, that's it exactly.

I totally empathise with this, since my four year old routinely wears his "favourite outfit" which consists of skin tight green and blue leggings with an orange and green striped shirt.

I *know* that nobody is going to look at this child and think "You know, I bet his mom picked out those clothes." and yet, I feel like I should *do* something about it.

*sigh* Why is parenting so hard? And when we all know that, why do we feel the need to judge each other?
