I have my 2-year-old during the week, and his dad gets him on the weekends. Today, a little man got his haircut, and I think he looks great! I posted the pictures up on Facebook, and his dad (my ex) commented: “Why the hell you cut his hair like that!” — Yes, with an exclamation point. 1. It’s hair. It’ll grow back. 2. What’s wrong with his haircut? It looks a lot better than the bowl cut he received months ago while he was in his dad’s care. They didn’t take him to a haircut place; they cut it themselves. I’m okay with not spending the money, but a bowl haircut?! Yes, I was upset, but I got over it because IT’S HAIR- IT’LL GROW BACK. 3. I literally just saw this comment. I haven’t responded. Should I? And if so, what should I say?

are you the primary custodial parent? If so, it’s not his business why you cut his hair “like that”. It’s not like you had his genitals altered. FFS

If his comment is anything less than admiration at how handsome his son is, then he doesn’t deserve a response. He’s looking for drama and you don’t need to play that game.

Leave it be, don’t delete it. Let everyone see him being an asshole. He can get over it if you can too 
Why didn’t you consult him before getting his hair cut?
Your son might stay with you during the week, but he’s not just your son.
You both should’ve made the decision to get his haircut together.
Would you still feel like this if your ex had your son get a hair cut without informing you?
Just what u said in this
You deff should have let him know that you planned on taking him for a haircut. Its just respect.

Both of you should consult the other parent before cutting the kids hair tbh. He needs to talk to you about it before horrible bowl cuts, and you need to talk to him before whatever haircut he got. It’s called coparenting.

Don’t respond, he’s just looking for some feeling of power and control in his child’s life. I had this EXACT issue with my ex and it was never worth the confrontation over something as simple as a haircut. You just keep being an awesome parent!!

Wow. It’s a goddamn hair cut. I get my boys hair cut every month and never would I think to ask their father. I also post pics n never even tell their father when they’re going for cuts. And you know what, he doesnt care. You know why, cuz it’s a damn hair cut. Jeez.
I’d respond with “because it’s just as cute as he is!!”

I wouldn’t even comment back. Not worth the hassle but I would continue to cut it as it’s needed. And next time they do the bowl cut I’d again not say anything but take him down and get a decent trim.

My ex tried the same shit lol it’s annoying, you aren’t worried about all the clothes I buy without your help, all the toys, events, and sports I fund. But here you are being super dad over a haircut? You can’t seem to imagine how much all this costs but a $15 haircut, you wanted to do that? Well my kid was starting to resemble cousin it so why didn’t you on your wked? Tf? I’d be furious if he cut my daughter’s I guess he thinks that means he’s entitled to my boys head idk but what I do know is I’m not consulting anyone over my kids hair cuts just like I don’t over clothes or shoes or anything else wtf it’s hair
I’d delete the comment, it’s your page. Not for the public to see the issue between parents about their child.

Put side by side photos of the two haircuts have people vote on the best cut, especially your son his opinion should be the most important one. But if your ex wants to fight offer the little things instead of working them out and accepting choices you make you will never be successful at co parenting.
This is ridiculous it’s hair it will grow back unless its a medical emergency a school emergency or has to do with the education or medical care of your child what one parent does with their child during their time is up to them and that comes from the 3 judges during my custody battle with my older two children’s sperm doner when he tried petty shit like this when my daughter shaved her head a few years ago when she asked me if she could so I let her, he had a issue with it tried to take me back to court about not consulting him the judge laughed at him literally laughed at him (for the record he only sees them for one weekend a month if that) so hun do you if your kid wants a hair cut or needs a hair cut then by all means get his hair cut and ignore his comments he’s just being petty because instead of doing it your self like he did you actually took him to a professional and had it done right
I would not respond via social media.

Id just ignore it. I always let my kids pick what they want done to their hair (they are 3 and 5, and my husband lets his son also pick his cuts) my sons bio dad always hates it. But its hair it grows back. For me its if the kids like it and are proud of it cause they got to be “big” and choose, than who cares.
It’s a haircut it happened he cant change it…OMG this is petty BS.
Is he controlling? Hes mad he wasn’t consulted which I can sre however he did same before so…I don’t know…hope he doesn’t act that way in front of your child
Message him privately
YPUR BOTH EQUALLY HIS PARENTS.
you should have consulted him !!!
I’d be fucking pissed if my sons dad cuts my sons hair on a weeknd he had him
He has every right to be mad

I agree it’s just hair. My mom never had consult my dad before getting my haircut and they were married. Sounds like your ex just wants to be upset about something.
Would you feel like its no big deal if it was a little girl and dad cut her long hair short? Hair cuts should be discussed period.

I don’t get why parents have to be nasty to each other over a hair cut. If it’s a problem have both parents go or ask for hair cut options. My ex and I said as long as we give each other a heads up and also talk to about what haircut our son gets. As long as it’s neat and respectable (not a stupid hair cut) we are fine with it. My son generally goes with me to get he’s hair cut as he’s only a 2 year old.

Your child isnt a possession that belongs to either of you.
He’s a human being. And he is a peice of both of you. I can understand that it must be hard to have to communicate with an ex. But it’s something you need to swallow your pride about and do for the sake of your child.
A simple message to include dad would have been fine.
It’s really not something to destroy your co parenting relationship about.

I say let him rant…he can’t uncut the hair so his approval doesn’t matter at this point lol
Guys get mad about their kids hair lol if you have a previous pic of the bowl cut show it and say I fixed it, you’re welcome!
OMG 🤦
Just leave it be, like seriously.
Especially over social media, he could’ve either texted or called you - do NOT make a scene by replying to him. It’ll just make you both look childish.
And seriously, this goes for the both of you - it’s just hair. Plain and simple.
You complain about the last haircut, he complains about this one blah blah blah, never ending cycle, etc etc, the end, full stop!
You two will have bigger problems to deal with for many years to come, don’t be petty over something as superficial as a haircut.
And if he says something to you about it in person - which he should instead of commenting on a photo - you both have just as much rights as each other to have your son’s haircut, just like both have the right to buy him clothes, shoes, toys etc… Same as you both have the responsibility to take care of him, keeping him safe and healthy.
You choose to co parent, if you need to sit down and write out the decisions that you will need to c,onsult with one another on before it’s made, then so be it.
But c’mon, a haircut should not be one of them.
When my boys were younger, they both had beautiful glossy curls that were absolutely heart-melting…I made very clear that they weren’t having their hair cut until I took them… Low and behold … My MIL (without telling me of course, as she knew what I would do) thought she had the right to just take them off to get it done. She did this with both of my children, and didn’t tell me until she dropped them back home the next day.
Their curls never came back. 
She told me that she didn’t even save a lock of curls for me ( may be weird to some, but I have baby books with a section titled “First Haircut”, that I can’t fill with either child:sob:), only to find out she kept a lock for HERSELF! 
.
Now THAT is something to complain about, especially since I’d made it VERY clear, MANY times.
I was NOT HAPPY, in the slightest. And I sure as hell made sure she knew about it.
PICK YOUR BATTLES.
