What does a hairstyle have to do with parenting? Nothing. And I'm guessing you might be a good mom, but a bad individual. Why would you critisize other people when you aren't even flawless. When you make statements like the one at 0:21, you really look like a bitch. You can't judge people if you don't know their full attentions. So think about your lines and statements a little more before recording and uploading.
Unless your style befits having kids w hawks, I think it's sort of forcing your child to get attention that they haven't asked for. If they ask for the hairstyle, that's a whole different story.
I agree. Kids will do crazy hair things when they hit adolescence, no need to get them started in the cradle. And my opinion? The bo-hawk, pho-hawk, Mohawk, call it what you want, it is not a good look on anyone at any age.
@ppreku I bet you have Justin Bieber hair, don't you? You're a coconut head, aren't you?
Because have you seen the mohawk David Beckham has? That is one of the best haircuts ever designed, that's what the top 3 hairdressers in the world said in 2009. Watch this video:

Skip to 0:27. That is also a mohawk, a good looking one.
It opens up a bigger question, which is mostly - are kids expressing themselves, or are parents expressing themselves? Mohawks on babies aren't about expressing themselves any more than matching BabyGAP or a Janie & Jack.
I think this is too firm a stance and therefore just as ridiculous. Expression isn't something that should be looked down upon with such an enormous blanket.
I guess you can hate on a trend or fad for being that.... but to question whether it is or isn't good parenting to express oneself either through their child, or as a child is harsh.
However, I hate to judge too much on Miss Judgey McJudgerson - I'm sure the firm stance and snarky delivery are good for the blog traffic... Snark on lady!
This isn't such a big deal... I mean, at least not to me. If the kid isn't an accessory (not around the parent all day) then it's a way for them to have their own identity, as you said. And remember, you're also in the LA area with a lot of posh moms - you're bound to see this in excess more than I am here in Georgia.
At first I thought this was a cute trend because people wanted their kids to learn to be individual from a young age. Then I thought about it...kids are already unique...the only people the parents are doing this for is other parents to notice. People who do this are really just doing the equivalent of saying "Not!" at the end of a sentence and thinking it makes them cool.
this trend is a bit ridiculous. why show children at such a young age to not be productive members of society. I've never took out a mortgage from someone with a mowhawk, never invested with someone with one. But, they're young. It's expression. You are their parent. You help build self image, worth and respect. How about spend less time with the hair and more time with math and science?
I disagree completely. If they want to express themselves in that way why stop them? It's not like you're taking them to the tattoo parlor or putting harmful dyes on their hair or toxins on their fingernails. It's just a haircut.
@la569yvo Kids don't express themselves when they're this young, you are trying to make a statement by doing this to them. You have a pocketbook, you pay for the cut. Kids this young are worried about cartoons and sports and other things, not hairstyles.
My son wanted one, he got it. Then his sister frosted it. Then he got tired of it. The only thing he can't stand is long hair in his face. It hasn't affected his life in any damaging way. Different people, different levels of conservatism. We won't ever be all the same.
My son has one. He begged for it. BEGGED. I just feel like of all the things I'm gonna give in on, this is so benign. Still holding out on video games . . .
I have girls but if I had a son who asked for a mohawk ...sure. But I would never just shave their heads and make them have a mohawk.But if it were their choice to have the sides of their head shaved,I'd have no problem with it.
I think parents choose their battles, and if my child asks for a mohawk/bohawk I wouldn't mind allowing them that. However, I would never force that. Especially for parents who push that "looks aren't as important as personality", they should not judge based on hairstyles
I agree. When my kids are in high school, they can choose hair color, but no tats or piercings. Funky hair on kids is all about the parents, not the kids.
Are you serious? 0:21?

No. No. No. No.
Can we *not* do bohawks?
Furthermore, can we never speak this word again?
Thank you, bye.

I will only give my kid a mohawk if she's over 13, it's her choice, and it's blue! (pink and purple may also be acceptable...)

I was obsessed with Aidens hair when he was little little. I was never brave enough to do a mohawk though. :/

Yep, you're wrong. Mohawks are cool and cute on little kids. So go judge something that matters, Judgey McJudgerpants.
