Hairy matters

So. My mum in law and mum want me to shave akahaya's head bald again. It's like they take perverse pleasure in seeing her hairless. In some belief that shaving promotes hair growth. What about people who naturally have thin hair? Thick hair is beautiful only in some quarters. Not nec here.

I believe balding her is not going to increase her hair growth at all. I believe trimming followed by daily oiling will improve hair growth.

So how? Two opposite schools of thought regarding a four year old's hair. Mum vs grand mums. Husband just likes to believe in ancient ways- accepts many things unquestioningly. So - bald? Ok no problem!

That leaves me sorely outnumbered. Added to which my mind fluctuates like crazy- I should take a moment to quiet my self - think . Then ... It won't matter so much.

Surely making two old ladies happy is more important than making a 35 year old happy. It's just hair. Not that big a deal. Akshaya herself doesn't seem to mind. She will look funny only for a few months.

Stupid husband must appreciate and not take my acquiescence for granted.

Why is that important? Surely knowing That I am doing the right thing should be reward enough?
