[QUOTE="Lil, post: 745462, member: 17309"] Well this sounds good! A start at least. We'll call that optimistic. Worst. Words. Ever. My son once said that to me..."Do you think I'm that broken?" I don't even remember what kind of thing I was trying to get him to do...but I can hear his voice in my head saying those words and they still break ME. Break my heart. It's funny, but of all the awful things he ever said and did...that one still gets me the most. I get teary still when I think of it. My son doesn't even have a receding hair line. If he'd DO something with his hair, he'd have beautiful hair, thick, wavy, and a lovely chestnut kind of color. He WILL be bald though - his biodad and granddad were and my dad was pretty bald when old - and it'll probably be [I]soon[/I] if he doesn't stop wearing a hat constantly. He has very long hair, past his shoulders, and he constantly wears a beanie...a black beanie with pins and things on it. It's a horrible little hat and I don't know WHY he wears it. He started when he was a teen and I saw a brand new photo of him on Facebook yesterday and he was wearing it - in the house - watching TV. Really? WHY? You'd think his fiancée would put her foot down...but apparently it doesn't bother her, I guess. Actually, she once told me she was going to try to get him to dress nicer and buy him some things that weren't black...but they're pretty broke. Anyway...Maybe you could get your son to go from hoodie to beanie? Or some other type of hat? Maybe tell him that his hair is going to go a LOT faster if he keeps wearing a hoodie and offer to buy him some Rogaine? LOL It's not really funny I know, but if I could get my kid to quit wearing a beanie I'd tell you the magic words to make that happen. :( He makes me insane. But a beanie is better than a hoodie. I don't know, maybe ask him if he'd like to be able to change up now and then? Yeah...wish I had an answer there. [/QUOTE]
