Hi Bella, I totally see where you're coming from on this one. My two cents: avoiding the reunion altogether doesn't sound like the best idea, if only because they will have to find out sometime! Might as well get it over and done with, lest they get back at you the next occasion knowing you've been hiding it from them.
It's true that the feedback we get from family is harder to dismiss or just brush aside, but one thing I've learnt is that if their disapproval stems out of true concern for you, if you talk to them and stand by your choices, they will eventually come round and accept them; on the other hand, if it's just narrow-mindedness on their part, it's simply not worth bothering with or being bothered by.
After all, it's your hair (or lack thereof
), your choice, your life and therefore, ultimately, no one else's business as Isleepinthebuff has already summed up. It's good that your mum will back you up; as for the less understanding members of your family, well, if they have a problem with it it's
their problem, no need for it to become yours too, right?
Good luck and keep up the good fight
