TTMA haircuts for your N13 baby:
V has been getting regular haircuts since he was 8 months old. He was pretty chill about it until he was around 2 and it's been getting worse and worse. Even when I try to cut it myself at home or when I've tried different salons.
I bring his tablet, candy, snacks, whatever he wants. We also talk about it before we go and he's happy, excited, and "ready" until we actually arrive and he cries and wails. The stylists keep telling me it'll get better. Well when is that fucking happening?!

Good morning, it's a lazy one over here. Eventually we need to go grocery shopping. Tomorrow is my first day of work. I'm on a roller coaster of emotions from "I'm excited" to "OMG what have I done?!" I hope you enjoy your last day home. I don't remember, before you moved did you work when V was a baby?

We've also done an in-home salon and an adult salon. And I've tried cutting it myself in our home. I think the kid oriented places are hit or miss for us because if there's another child there who is already crying, it makes V cry more. We went to an adult salon yesterday and it was equally awful though.

Morning ladies, more packing, my house is turning in to a warehouse. Ds is feeling a lot better, he was so sick yesterday. He slept in our bed so that we could keep a close watch on him. I found two birthday envelopes containing €190,-! I ordered sushi for tonight immediately 😜. I hate these weekend cooped up in the house. I love venturing out with the four of us!

@chso Maybe it works if you/Dh go first? So that he can see he has nothing to worry about. I'm sorry I'm no help. Ds has always been very unimpressed by the hairdresser...

csho my kid's hair grows like crazy so he has gotten a monthly haircut since he was less than a year old. We're the opposite. It was an absolute nightmare until he was about 2 and then we turned a corner and it's been pretty easy since. Yesterday, he and MH went to some random barber together, sat down, got cuts, left, even I was impressed that he was so chill about it. I don't really know that I'm that much help because we didn't do anything but I do agree that they just turn a corner. We went from haircuts being the absolute worst to the easiest thing and there was no pep talk or bribery that did it. I think you just need to wait it out, I'm sorry.

Cher, nam2013Maybe I should try sending DH and V together. Do they sit next to each other and get cuts at the same time or does husband go first while LO watches?

csho I don't let them use anything that makes noise. And I have them show him what they are going to do. He gets to play a little with the comb and the water bottle. He flirts with her for a few minutes and we talk what treat he's going to get for being a big boy while she cuts his hair. Last time they brought out a book and he picked his hairstyle

Typically, I take him, yesterday was the first time they got haircuts together. It was a crowded Saturday barber shop, so as soon as someone could take one of them, they went. MH went first while the boy sat there and waited.

For my part it was just an idea that I thought might work. Maybe just let him watch Dh get cut, without V having a cut? And then next time together?

Morning. I'm hungover. Last night was fun. I slept until 10... woah! I didn't think that would happen because I kept waking up between 6:30-730 but I forced myself back to sleep. Dh is almost home and then we'll head to my parents for lunch and maybe a boat ride before bringing the kids home.

I will say, csho, if he's not ready, don't push it. We used to take the boy to MH's barber and he would get a haircut while MH sat next to him. The boy would freak out so badly that MH was embarrassed to get his haircut there. We would definitely ruin other people's haircut experience. That's when we opted to only bring him to a kid's place where they don't mind as much of your kid freaks out. I was shocked yesterday when they grabbed haircuts on a whim and he was so chill about it.

Hi from work. I had to research some things for Boss L and what I discovered I knew would upset her. We will see what happens.

csho J recently turned a haircut corner as well. He freaks the f out if clippers are mentioned though, so we are strictly scissor cuts. We did videos on the phone for a bit and that helped. Also good luck tomorrow! I hope the new job is a good fit!

Hi hi. Hanging at home with the kids. I kind of half ran a few miles this morning, the first in months or probably a year, which felt okay. Also I highly recommend the plain trader Joe's cold brew concentrate. I mixed it with milk and it is like an iced latte! New obsession.
MH is heading to a baseball game, but leaving a little early so I can go to the DC Meetup tonight! I've realized I only have work and super casual clothes, so I have no idea what to wear, ha! It's like a first date, but with people we gave known for years. And I don't know anyones names 😌
