I did the same with my daughter. She was just as beautiful, and we were both happier.

I'm 54 and have still never forgiven my mum for cutting my hair short when I was 5 years old. I cried for what seemed like forever and what hurt most was all the other girls in school with their beautiful long hair, the ponytails, the braids, the curls, ugh. As an adult I constantly struggled to allow enough of a trim at the hair dressers. I still hate short hair to this day.

If the child was older and wasn't asked this would be different. Which the title made it kinda sound like. But I guess that's clickbait. Who would click on something labeled: "My toddler hates having her hair brushed, so she has a shorter haircut now."

I have naturally curly hair- the only one of my 5 siblings to get "blessed" with it, though my dad and his siblings all had naturally curly hair, and 2 of my 4 kids got this gene. My mom had a tough time dealing with my curls, so, from the age of 6 until I was 18, my hair was cut short because we didn't know how to deal with my naturally curly hair. This was in the 70s before the hair products avaliable now- One of my sisters, prolly jealous, often told me I was adopted because my hair was different from the rest of the family but no one questioned why my dad and his sibs kept short hair. For me, I didn't appreciate my curly hair until my 30s, and now in my 50s, while my sibs hair is thinning but mine isn't, I'm glad my hair is still gorgeous, curly, and that I got the better DNA than my sibs.

i wish i had a mom like her. wen i was a child i had really long blonde hair. my mom loved it and wouldnt let me get it cut no matter how much i complained about it. its kinda like i had the hair she wishes she had so i was stuck with it. wen my hair started turning brown she made me get blonde highlights. eventually i stopped the highlights and i did cut it but my mom supervised the salon worker. it was embarassing. she didnt want it too short. it was still too long for me in the end. well guess wat as soon as my parents moved to florida after i got married i not only cut my hair short i also dyed it wine red. basically i did both things my mom would freak out about lol. its been a little over 2 years and i dont think shes accepted the color but she has accepted the length. thankfully my husband helped with that by giving me a really short hair cut during lockdown. so my hair was short for my wedding but i made it work and my mom liked it.

I never brushed my hair when I was ~5 so my parents made me get this really short haircut as both a solution and a punishment. Joke's on them, I didn't care.

My mom did that to me because I would chew on my hair and it was pretty much unbrushable. Even though I have the straightest hair ever, it got tangled so fast. I got it cut, and life was easier. I kept getting it cut until I was about 12, and now it’s growing out

When my youngest sister was, idk, 5 or so she hated having to brush her hair, even with help. She had a head full of curls back then, so lots of tangles. And lots of hair brushing related tantrums. Our parents had to tell her a few times that either her hair gets brushed - or it would have to be cut off. This ultimately always worked in favor of the hair brushing, but that was because she was old enough to understand the choice and to actively want the hair.

I also had boy cut hair when when I was young and yes I agree with the mom.Children can't take care of their hair rather long hair is inconvenient to them.They don't care about their looks ,they just want to play.And.. she is only 2 so a good move.

When I was little (… up until I was 9 or so) I couldn’t stand having my hair brushed, and also couldn’t do it myself. I have very thick, hard to care for hair, and when I was 9 or 10 or whatever my mom made me cut it to my shoulders because I couldn’t take care of it and she didn’t want to have to brush it (I had mostly grown out of the crying meltdowns at least). I hated it but it was the right decision, and as a toddler I probably should have kept my hair shorter.

She is a great mom and she didn't do it in a mean way... her chanel is great

She has the patience to ridiculously color her own hair & apply garish makeup, but not brush her child's hair. Great parenting.

Nice clickbait, very cool!

I did the same thing to my oldest daughter. She was in like 3rd grade I believe. I told her 3 different times to brush her hair, before I brushed through it. She still wouldn't. Her hair was down to the middle of her back, got it cut to her jawline. She cried while getting it cut. Never had an issue with her brushing and taking care of her hair again

Let’s just say this woman shouldn’t be making decisions on appearance for other people.

A few things. 1: The kid is 2 years old, it's fine if she get her hair cut even if she doesn't want to, she's 2 it's not really gonna leave a lasting impression it's a completely different story if she would have been 5 or older. 2. You choose to have a kid, it's not about "picking battles" it's a toddler, they're gonna complain, and she's still gonna have to brush her short hair, it could be that the mom doesn't know how to properly brush hair and is pulling it too much. So sure making a 2 year old get a haircut isn't the end of the universe, but if you can't be patient enough to deal with a 2 year old and brushing their hair, then maybe you shouldn't have had a kid, because this is going to be one of the easier things.
