When it comes to parenting, it's always best to use your own discretion when it comes to anything slightly controversial — letting your children pierce their ears young, letting your children pick out their own outfits, or, letting your children dye their hair fun colors.
Now, a mother is asking is she's in the wrong for pulling her daughter out of her own grandmother's wedding after her grandma bleached her hair.
"My mom is getting married at the end of July. My daughter (who is 11) was going to be her flower girl," the original poster (OP) explained.
After OP left her daughter with her mother one day, things took a huge turn for the family.
"We dye her hair semi regularly with Arctic Fox, which is safe for kids. About a week ago we dyed it a very pretty blue... My mom detests unnatural hair colors and has been hounding me to ‘fix it’ for the wedding,” she added.
However, it seems the bride was unable to wait to see how her granddaughter's hair would turn out, and simply took matters into her own hands.
"Obviously I’d NEVER bleach a child’s hair," OP wrote.
"I am furious. Her hair is SO DRY and damaged, and the blue isn’t even out," she explained.
Naturally, her daughter's hair looks way worse than before, and will take even longer to correct!
"I’ve been getting a lot of ‘she’s a control freak, it’s just how she is, it’s not a big deal, it’s just hair’ from almost everyone," she wrote, explaining that her family is telling her to just get over it.
"My daughter hates her hair and expected a pretty bleach blonde ‘like Bill[ie] Eilish,’” OP wrote, "which is what her grandma promised her, not a faded mess."
