At what age...
« on: June 02, 2007, 06:57:12 PM »
This is for anyone with children or anyone with an opinion:

At what age would you let your son decide to shave his head?  I mean if you're Sly, your son(s) might want to be too.  What if your wife objected?  I remember when I was in the 4th or 5th grade, a boy in our class did something wrong at home & was forced to get a brush cut as a punishment.  I guess times have changed, since now buzz cuts are the style.

Just wondering...

Well as the proud fauther of three kids (one of which is a boy) who is 17 years old now. He started shaveing his head about 5 years ago off and on. I don't have a problem with him shaveing his head at all, because I know his moral values are in the right place. Besides I cannot teach him not to discriminate, if I discriminate him due to his choice of hair style or lack there of.

I would say if the kid wants to shave his head, let him.  Just don't let him use a razor blade unless you think he's old enough to not really hurt himself.  My brother and I used to buzz our head when we were 6 years old.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Personally, as soon as he asked I'd let him but...

I have been married a little over 35 years and I've learned 2 VERY important lessons!

1.) Your wife is always right.
2.) You're always wrong, just get over it!

Hope that helps!   :*))
