What should I say to my girlfriend about her son's hair?

Question

Ever since my gf was divorced about 18 months ago, she's stopped cutting her 7 year old son's hair. It's way down his back and she just had his hair cut in bangs. Its a girl's hair style and he's very embarrassed to constantly be mistaken for a girl. My gf loves his hair but he hates it. And I don't know what to say to convince her he's too old to look like a little girl.

Answer 1

tell her that boy's are supposed to look like boy's, if that don't work give him some hair barrets and see what she say's. or you can give him a hair cut and tell her if you want a little girl let's get married and get started. it's good that you are concerened i agree with you cut that boy's hair!

Answer 2

Let him go to sleep with gum in his mouth, that will take care of it

Answer 3

aha thats funnt cause my little brothers dad keeps tryin to give him a mullet.. ew! lol take him to get his hair cut.

Answer 4

im a girl so i know how to answer this. you should tell her that her that her sons hair looks appealing but she should consider cutting it. and then add a little smoothness to calm her if she seems a bit off track.

Answer 5

The next time when you go to get your haircut at the barber's, ask if your gf's son can come along for a haircut as well.....for some guy time. Your gf could have free time to do shopping or anything at all.

Answer 6

YOU have no right to say anything.  He's not YOUR child.  Your girlfiend is the child's parent not you, she is the one to determine if and when she has her son's hair cut.

Answer 7

Whats wrong with long hair on a guy, if the child likes it I say leave it alonem if the child hates it than do something about it!

Answer 8

Get him a Nickelodeon magazine or something and go through it with him. have him pick out a picture he really likes and then when his mom's around go through it with him again and kind of make a show of how great you think he'd look with the haircut he picked and offer to take him as a manly outing.

Answer 9

have the little boy explain it to his mother. If it does bother him. for one it will encourage him to be open to his mom and mom can hear from him that it embarrassing to him. also it might save on a fight between you and her.

Answer 10

Maybe it'd help if you suggested allowing her son to choose his own hair style. He's not a baby anymore, and he should be allowed some say in his appearance.

And, suggest that, as a bonding experience between you and him (it's always good for a child to bond with the "new man" in their mother's life), you'll take him to get his hair cut the way he wants, then maybe do a little something special with him. She can get a day to relax, he can get say in his hair, and you'll get the chance to bond with him. Everyone wins!

Answer 11

Tell your girlfreind to get his son to the barber

Answer 12

i know this sounds bad but either get it cut or have him cut it so she is foced to cut it
