So, my little Scorpy daughter wanted her hair cut even shorter. I just had 3" cut off a month ago. I asked her if we could just wait till closer to school so she could have all summer to think about the style she wanted. She's 8 and this was her reply this morning.

Not bad, all things considered.

She did a pretty good job of it (way better than I do when cutting hair....which is why I don't cut hair!). Let her wear it as short as she wants. School is almost out, summer is hot (and humid over there), she'll either love it and keep it or decide she wants to grow it out. Good for her for knowing what she wanted to do and going for it. She's got a strong mind. πŸ˜„

I'd have let her cut it after discussing it with her mother first. To her credit, she did ask first! The answer just wasn't as fast as she liked. πŸ˜„

Unless a kid wants a haircut that isn't approved by their school it's not something I'd fight them on. They'll learn what they like and it teaches independence, makes them feel important that they have a say about something. Since it's not harmful to them then let kids have some fun with it, but that's just my opinion (because cancer moms are cool that way lol).

I was totally cool with her wanting to cut her hair. I was more upset that she didn't wait than her actually cutting her hair. She's so stinking cute that I can rarely get upset with her. She definitely has the manipulation game down early. πŸ˜„

What did you expect lol? I remember cutting my hair when I was 9 for a similar reason.

Seems like the thing to do....at least to a Scorp πŸ˜„

My Scorp Sun/Aqua Moon sister and I did this as kids, and my Sag Sun/Leo Moon mom handled it so wonderfully, as you did. She gasped, told us not to disobey her again, and then helped us not look like we'd been at our heads with a butcher knife. One of my fondest memories πŸ™‚

She looks soooo pleased with herself! That is so cute! I'm Scorp sun with Sag rising. We certainly have an adventurous streak! Apparently I used to question EVERYTHING when I was a kid. Very head strong. You should be a very proud Leo dad. Love it!

She's cute.

I cut my bangs 3 days ago.

Scorpio don't need the approval of others.

We just get it done. In our time. Not others time.

I did this more then once as a kid. Instead of waiting to get my hair cut I would just do it myself. She did fairly good. I used to just put it in a ponytail and chop it off lol.
