Is my daughter's hair too long?

[Ptah]

:applause:

[sakabatou]

1. No

I know some with hair past the butt

[Ptah]

2. Her great-grandmother

(my mother's mother) born in 1901
was able to sit on her hair when she was a young
school teacher.

:hi:

[knowbody0]

3. only if she thinks so

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I would actually ask her that question...

Since she's the one taking care of it, most likely!

Or did she ask you to ask us....

IMHO, it's not too long...for me it would be but that's ME!

:hi:

[Ptah]

7. I mostly wanted you all to see

how well my daughter takes cares of herself.
She will be twenty-one in the first week of October.
I have been the custodial parent since she was three years old.
We are all lucky to have lived this long.



Is this the little girl I carried?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I hear that!

Raising children to responsible adulthood is the TOUGHEST job evah!

Congratulations to all of you for having survived this period...

Trust me, it does get easier from here on out...if you did your job correctly, that is!

:grouphug: :yourock:

[Ptah]

12. Thanks for the encouragement, Peggy.

I am starting to appreciate the friendship
that can be found here at DU.

:pals: :hippie:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. I would be dead without DU... no, not literally...but my soul

would not be nearly as happy as it is....

This is a magical place, truly magical...especially the Lounge, and especially at night...

There are a few of us who inhabit the Lounge at night, and we trek around and post in each other's threads...

We've become good friends, and the web of our friendship goes around the globe...

Sometimes I can almost literally feel the connection of love between me and all my friends...

I hope this will happen to you, as well...:loveya:


:hug:

[Ptah]

19. Magical is right, Peggy.

Here is a special photo one of my younger
brothers took:







:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Ah yes, my dear Ptah...

I remember your posting this pic before...and I commented on it, I believe...IIRC....

That is WONDERFUL!

Was that from the 1991 total solar eclipse?

My husband, our two daughters and I went to Hawai'i to see it...

We very nearly got clouded over...but managed to find a relatively sunny location to see it....

It was incredible...

Thank you for this pic....

:pals:

[Ptah]

25. That was the eclipse of 1978

My brother went to Livingston, Montana in 1978
I think it was Februrary.

He spoke of the cold and clear sky.

[Ptah]

23. Sunrise, Sunset.

(Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?

(Golde)
I don't remember growing older
When did they?

(Tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?

(Golde)
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. I was remembering these lyrics above with your daughter's young

pic...but couldn't remember them accurately...

Thank you for posting them...

This musical "Fiddler on the Roof" is the only one my husband has ever liked...he says it is the only musical with a bite to it!

I LOVE this song...and all of them...but as a mom, this one really sings to me...How true it is...

:hug: :pals:

5. *sigh* I remember when my hair was about that long.

I kinda miss it. Well, I miss being able to braid it, but I don't miss taking care of it. ;)

[Ptah]

17. The longest mine ever was,

it reached the point of my shoulder-blade.

Back in the day..

:hippie:
:hippie:
:hippie:

[BamaGirl]

6. No

I used to be able to sit on mine. Growing it back out now. ;)

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. It's not an issue of length, it's an issue of...

mmmmm, i hate to say it... but, you know, presentation.

A brush, some good posture, a tucked in shirt... she'd look like a different person. Especially the good posture.

That hair could really sing with some good posture.

And, not wearing a t-shirt as the sole top.

I bet she'd look awesome with her back straight and her head up and her legs held so they have the same length (so that the right hip isn't dipping below the left one). And I mean AWESOME!

[Ptah]

10. You are correct.

She doesn't seem to be standing proud.

I wish she was a little more confident.

Thanks for an honest view.

:hi:

[Floogeldy]

11. Hmmm. Length of hair.

And this is relevant to . . . what?

[Ptah]

13. A fashion question, mostly. n/t

[Floogeldy]

15. It's hot.

;)

[norml]

14. Too long for what?

It's longer than I'd want my own hair, because I'd rather not bother with it that long.

It takes longer to wash and dry.

It gets too hot and sweaty for me.

However, it's her hair, not mine.

[Ptah]

16. She is quite happy with it.

I'm just proud of her taking care of it.

A little bragging, family pride, etc.

:thumbsup:

[BikeWriter]

20. A girl's hair can never be too long, if she likes it.

[Ptah]

24. She likes it, and won't consider trimming it. n/t

[BikeWriter]

27. Very good. It's beautiful! :-)

[NMMNG]

21. Not at all

So long as it is taken care of there is no problem. I'd love to have long thick hair like that. Alas mine is thin, fine and brittle so I can't grow it that long. :-(

[Montauk6]

26. Nah, ain't nothin' wrong with the Pre-Raphaelite look.

Gimme a head with hair, long, beautiful hair...

[Ptah]

29. Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there, hair!
Shoulder length, longer (hair!)
Here baby, there mama, Everywhere daddy daddy




:toast: :bounce:

[saged52]

30. it's freaking gorgeous

but it's still just hair. I'm over 50 years of age and have long hair - my husband's hair is even longer than mine. It does not take that much time or intelligence to maintain healthy long hair. Does it make a statement? Maybe - depending on the viewer. Should the length of hair matter in the overall view of things? No. Hair is decorative - it can be fun and whimisical. In my case - and your daughter's - more is better! Cool!

[Ptah]

32. Almost cut my hair

It happened just the other day
It's gettin kinda long
I coulda said it wasn't in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why



:toast:


:hippie:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Unfair

I want hair like that. Mine will never grow as long :cry:

[Ptah]

33. But you have the advantage;

You live and learn in her ancestor's homeland.

Any history of Geradstette would make me like you even more
that I already do.



:toast:

On edit; I meant to spell: Geradstetten

And thanks for the personal response.

[MissHoneychurch]

34. check your inbox

:)

[Ptah]

35. Thank you, MissHoneychurch

Here's a view of Geradstetten

:thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

38. looks like a typical town from this area for me

:)

[Ptah]

41. I hope when winter comes,

you will keep warm.

I grew up in Montana, and I've been told it's not
very different as far as winter weather goes.

[WCGreen]

36. My hair was elbow length.....

Up until about 3 years ago....

Adn I am 47.....

I looked like shit.....

[Ptah]

37. I have had my hair short for quite some time.

It is so much easier to groom.

I'm going to be able to retire on the savings I have on shampoo!

:toast:

:hippie:

[WCGreen]

39. Yea, I finally cut the tail off....

And gave it to the cancer kids....

I even made iit on to a local TV show's make over segment.....

[Ptah]

40. I hope if daughter ever decides to chop;

she'll give it up for cancer kids.

You have my admiration, WCGreen! :thumbsup:

[no name no slogan]

45. I donated mine to Locks of Love

www.locksoflove.org

I cut it of 1.5 years ago (on Valentine's Day, as a "gift" for my ex-wife) and donated it to these fine folks. It was about halfway down my back when I did it, and I got a ponytail about 8-10" long.

[RedCloud]

42. Only if that's her underarm hair combed upward and back!

Self spanking: :spank:

[Book Lover]

43. Looks just right to me!

Then again, that's as long as my hair is right now :-)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

44. I'll take it if she doesn't want it!

Wish I could grow hair like that. Does she think it's too long?

[redqueen]

46. No... not if she likes it.

Mine's that long and I like it okay. Can't do much with it except put it in a bun... I've been telling myself for years I'm going to cut it...
