you all seem to think it’s funny but this really keeps me up at night. My six year old likes to make her own pony tail so it always looks messy, kind of like a six year old did it. How will I EVER get a shidduch for my other kids if she walks around in public like that!”
Syag, I wince when I see the way some little kids dress or comb their hair. But I also shep nachas, when I realize they did it on their own, and are asserting their independent thought. As long as it is not an issue of a dress code or such, or not a boosha to Shabbos or Yom Tov, we learn to pick and choose our battles. And as they say, just “let it go, let it go.”
