In a bid to save money, a Reddit user has been cutting her own hair for years. However, when her cousin's wife, who's a hairdresser, offered to trim her hair at a discount, she refused. The family then tried to push her into using the hairdresser's services, but she couldn't afford it. When she asked why no one had ever helped her, her mother got quiet and hung up. Now, the Reddit user is wondering if she's in the wrong for refusing to pay for a haircut. Read on to find out more about this family drama.

Struggling to make ends meet, the last thing the author wants is an expensive haircut. But when their cousin-in-law, a professional hairdresser, offered a discounted rate, they declined. Now, the family is pushing back, claiming they should support each other during hard times. But with only $15 to their name, the author feels unsupported and frustrated. Is it fair for the family to ask for support when they can't offer any in return? Read on for the comments and reactions to this family drama.
