Babysitter cuts neighbor’s 6-year-old daughter’s hair without her permission, gets upset when mom revokes babysitting privileges: ‘Chopped off 8 inches of her beautiful curly hair’
Cutting one’s hair is a big deal in my book. You don’t just go doing it whenever and wherever you want to. Cutting your hair requires time, preparation, and skill.

Foster mom forces 19-year-old daughter to move out of her room to clear up space for new foster kids, daughter refuses to cooperate: ‘There’s no way you’re serious’
Many parents may not agree with this take, but I don’t think parents should force their kids to move out before they are ready to, even if it means letting them stay in their childhood bedrooms well into their early 20s. It may not be the most healthy approach, or the one that properly teaches …
