Imagine receiving a stuffed bear filled with human hair as a family heirloom. That’s exactly what happened when one dad decided to share a unique family tradition with his wife and newborn daughter. The tradition involves creating a special stuffed animal for the firstborn child, filled with the parent’s hair. The hair is meant to symbolize the connection between the parent and child, as well as the child’s connection to their family history. However, this heartwarming gesture turned sour when the wife found the tradition disgusting and unhygienic.
