If it was me I would cut your moms hair to make it easier because if your mom knew it would make things easier I think she would like that.
ReplyDeleteHello there! I must share with you that the smartest, most creative thing I did for my mother was to have her beautiful hair cut into a pixie do! She never stopped receiving compliments on how wonderfully young and perky she looked. Good luck whatever you decide.
ReplyDeleteI concur. Cutting the hair makes sense.
ReplyDeleteIt would be so much easier if you cut your Mom's hair. After my Grandmother had her stroke, Mom started just cutting a little off each time it was washed. Doing it gradually, my Grandmother hardly noticed that it had been cut. Need any help, my brother is a barber and my sister is a hairdresser, and I have had enough experience watching them that I can do the job.
ReplyDeleteI remember your long hair, as you probably do mine. We looked like that all through Jr. High and part of High School.
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Karen's response; short hair will be so much easier....., and maybe shorter hair will feel good to your mother.
I love the pictures!
A trim it is. Thanks everyone. I do remember your long hair Charlotte. Come on by anytime. I won't make you cut moms hair but come on over anyway.
ReplyDeleteIf it is easier for you you should cut it. Your Momma would understand. God bless you Karen.
ReplyDeleteI think short hair is the way to go. :)
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and cut it; it's for your Mom's benefit. that's my advice, anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt is easier to keep it clean, it won't get "pulled" by mistake when someone is helping her dress, even putting a coat on is easier. I speak from experience; my Mom refused to get her hair cut, and eventually it was LONG and filthy as she also was refusing to let it be washed.
Honestly, Karen, she looked like a crazy homeless woman by that point, which broke my heart, and I was so sorry I had not just cut it when I had the chance. It is cut now, and kept clean, as she's in a facility.
That's good advice, to do it gradually, if you think the multiple cuttings will be less upsetting than losing several inches at once.
Good luck!

My husband's daughter from his first marriage cuts his hair. He can "remember" how to go to her house with his new GNS now and get back home. This is special father/daughter time. Men have so many fewer decisions about hair!
ReplyDeleteThanks . Mom stopped taking bath's and showers all together for awhile. She got pretty nasty. But now she is clean most of the time. :) I will give her a trim this week.
