My new dreads

my mom hates my dreads but loves me so she gets over it i wasn't suppose to have them till i was 18 but i started 6 months before that so everything just kinda went out the window lol

 

my mom always has to state her opinion, but after that, she shuts up and deals with whatever I choose. I just got the "you should have left your hair alone" last week. I just shrugged, said "oh well" and that was that, she hasn't mentioned it since.

 

my mom loves my dreads and my dad doesnt "like" em but loves me so he just calls me corn cob(cuz he thinks they are cornrows) and chim chim ( becuse i wear a hat at nite that looks like the monekys from speedracers )

 

depends how old OP is, my dad would tell me im not 18 and i still live with him so he can fucking tell me what to do.

 

my folks hated mine at first just give them a few months. they'll prob never really be in love with them just really put forth the effort to make your dreadies look tight and then nobody can hate!

 

Your dad sounds like a douche. What father can't say I love you to his daughter because of her hairstyle? That's just sad sad sad

 

You'd be surprised.

 

I AM surprised! It would be one thing for him to even have an opinion if the kid lived with her dad but she doesn't and hasn't ever. I don't think an absent father has any right to go throwing his weight around regarding a hairstyle especially to the point of with holding ILY. He sounds manipulative and I am willing to bet there is a lot more behind this than the hair!

 

wow my dads a dick, but shit, i'd hate to have you're fathers haha. My dad love's my dreads. He said that I would have gotten them one day any ways, why try stopping me =]. But i thought this thread was about helping her with her father hating her dreads lol?

Ok this is what u do. You sit him down, and say "FUCK YOU DAD".

P.S. What the fucks up with that Experience thing? I haven't posted on here in 3 months or so, and before I left it wasnt there lol.

 

There probably is more to it. All I can really say is be grateful for the fathers you do have. I would give my limbs to have a father. Not that it bothers me now. I really feel for the OP though.

 

I'll hazard a guess that the OP found a loctician in Toronto.

Which isn't all bad, depending on who they went to. There's one girl I researched there 'cause I had met a client of hers and was curious. Other than paying stupid amounts of money, she seemed to do things well.

 

dude, i have tats, peircings and for the last 6 weeks or so ,dreads people ask me in a disaproving fasion on a regula basis, why??? I simply tell them...that this is MY sack of meat,and i will decorate it as i please, just as they can do with theirs...I think that in time you dad will grow proud of the fact that you are not afraid to express your self regardless of how others may perceive you...
