[QUOTE="YoyoMama, post: 234953, member: 6659"] I am laughing with recognition of the difficulty over things that are such everyday life items that SHOULD be so easy, not even noticable and YET become IMPOSSIBLE!!! When my son was 4 his teacher and principal and others at his school accused me of being an inadequate mother. (The precipitating issue was that he soiled his pants. Nevermind that it was a medical issue.) One of the items on the list of charges was that his hair was unwashed and unkempt. WELL, for one his straight blond hair is usually bad hair day - bed hair with a crimp or a bizarre twist that brushing does NOTHING to cure. So he looked unkempt even though his hair was always brushed. But add onto that the screaming torment of hairwashing - as though the water burned like acid. So I had a great idea. The teacher's sister owned a wellknown hair salon that my mother had used for over 30 years. Two of my son's teachers sisters worked there. SO I took him there to get his hair washed. Well I had to hold him down while two others washed his hair and he screamed bloody murder. I knew this would get back to the teacher and principal and thought smugly that I had conveyed to them the problem. Smug indeed, the whole thing got turned around on me and I was accused of abusing him by pinning him down and crushing him. Can't win for losing. Some of the simplest things like having your child comb her hair can turn into such a nightmare. It is so nice to be among people who understand. I'm sorry TiredMommy. How would she look with a pixie cut? Not much combing needed with that style. [/QUOTE]
