I would suggest buying him a skirt, but that would just get me thumped, and you live too close.

S, how about changing his name to Samson and hoping he meets Delilha fairly soon.

Well his favourite colour does seem to be pink

and yes, be careful, you do live too close

But the 2nd suggestion may be an option lol

Just hit him with a brick he will be stunned long enough for you to cut it .

emzy · 20-07-2009, 18:45

Yeah, but when I do that he will need to long hair to hide the bump i leave him with

When he gets bullied because it is long, he might change his mind

Unlikely, as the trend certainly seems to be towards longer hair. I've noticed it's not just the primary school boys, the High School has its share of shaggy manes too. Just keep your fingers crossed against the return of the mullet.

Seems fear of hair cuts has a name 'Tonsurephobia' ... so maybe he needs some therapy ?

Ah bless ... he has got himself into a corner, and no persuasion is going to help ... will just have to go along with his stubborness and let it grow for a while. Maybe once you stop giving him the attention, then he may ask of his own accord.

Best of luck Emzy .. my son would never sit on the plank at the barbers for a few years, only on my knee.

I had exactly the same prob with my eldest and it only improved with age. I had to sit him down on my knee and more or less bear hug him to get his hair done and then it could only be done with the clippers!!!!

He may calm down after a couple of visits when he sees his brother getting his hair cut and he may feel he's missing out and request it gets cut... I know yours do have a very healthy competition between themselves
