A furious mum is no longer talking to her mother-in-law, after she cut off her son’s hair despite being told not to do it.

Karlie says she had made it clear to her mother-in-law that she was not to touch her three-year-old son’s hair, after she revealed she wanted to buzz it all off.

“My mother-in-law has been saying she’s gonna cut my son’s hair and I clarified that that she is not going to cut my son’s hair because I have a specific haircut and that’s what he wants,” she explained. “My son is three-years-old and me and my husband both agree that we enjoy his haircut.”

Despite Karlie making it clear that her mother-in-law wasn’t to touch her grandson’s hair, the little boy returned for a two day stay with his grandmother with a new hairstyle.

“He had a buzz cut and I flipped sh*t and basically said why would you cut my son’s hair? I already told you you were not allowed and right now I’m not speaking to her. I would never take my kid’s grandmother away, but I cannot talk to her right now cause I am extremely upset.

“This isn’t the first time that she has cut one of her grandchildren‘s hair either. 10 years ago my nephew had a mohawk when he was a little kid and she went behind my SIL‘s back and cut his hair too.”

Karlie says while she thinks she’s in the right to by angry with her mother-in-law, her husband is taking his mum’s side.

“My husband is mad I reacted in this way and it isn’t a big deal, but to me it is. My husband also will not defend me against his mum. Currently I am wondering what to do or say because I don’t want to be rash but I am so mad.

“She also texted me this: ‘Karlie if you have a problem with me or my actions you need to talk to me. Do not put Mick in the middle. You are an adult so please act like one when it comes to these matters.'”

  • ‘act like an adult’, coming from the person who went behind a mother’s back out of selfishness. I feel bad for this mum, she has two problems. A MIL problem, and more importantly a husband problem. She should feel a united front when it comes to sticking up for the kids choices and wants. If I were her, I would have learnt from the nephew situation and only given supervised visits the moment hair was brought up. MIL already made it clear she doesn’t give a rip about parental authority or child autonomy. I’d be furious.
