A 29-year-old man and his wife, 30, have an 8-year-old daughter named Anna.

Anna has thick and curly blonde hair that his wife loves. Since Anna was a toddler, his wife would devote hours to styling Anna’s hair.

“Our bathroom cabinets are always filled to the brim with a bunch of hair lotions, oils, creams, and other fancy products I don’t even know the names of. So, I think it’s more than fair to say that my wife’s a bit obsessed with the whole hair thing,” he explained.

However, Anna didn’t share her mother’s hair obsession. He said that Anna never enjoyed anything in which she had to sit still, even if it was for a short time.

Anna hated having her hair brushed so much that every morning, Anna and her mother would get into screaming matches. Even though Anna’s waist-length hair was beautiful, she started begging to have her hair cut shorter.

Unfortunately for Anna, her mom ignored the request each time. His wife thought that Anna would move on, but that wasn’t what ultimately happened.

Eventually, Anna decided to change her strategy. She started to instead ask her father for a haircut. Worried about what his wife would do if he agreed, he was reluctant at first. But finally, he caved when he realized just how happy his daughter could be over just a haircut.

Yesterday, he and Anna went to the hair salon. Anna picked out a hairstyle from a magazine that she looked through at the salon.

“And when she chose a really short clipper cut, I knew I was going to be in deep trouble with my wife. At that point, though, there was no turning back,” he expressed.

Even though he knew he’d be in trouble with his wife, he knew that he couldn’t turn around and tell Anna she couldn’t get the haircut of her dreams.

Then, he and Anna went forward with getting the short haircut. Once her hair was done, Anna smiled uncontrollably and showed off to the entire salon.

And even though Anna normally hates having her picture taken, she asked her father to take a ton of pictures of her new hairstyle.

However, he and Anna did hear one rude comment while at the salon from an older woman, who said that it was hard to tell whether Anna was a boy or a girl now.

But Anna was so thrilled with how her haircut turned out that she didn’t even care.

But Anna’s and his excitement was short-lived. When his wife returned to the house from work, she didn’t look at Anna at all. His wife then locked herself in her room and cried. After that, she got in the car and left.

His wife still hadn’t come home a day later, and he was understandably concerned. Despite knowing that his wife wouldn’t be happy with Anna’s haircut, he hadn’t predicted her to react as dramatically as she did.

Also, Anna was hurt by how her mother reacted, worried about being in trouble for getting a haircut.

He reassured Anna that she didn’t do anything wrong, despite how upset his wife is with Anna’s short hairstyle.

“I realize how attached my wife was to Anna’s hair, but at the end of the day, I still think it’s just hair,” he continued.

He further explained that Anna is old enough to decide what she wants to do with her hair, and since she’s happy with her haircut, that should be good enough for him and his wife.

Do you think his wife overreacted to seeing Anna’s haircut? Did he do anything wrong in this situation?
