Mother-in-law shaves baby's head while mum's out

A mum was left reeling after she came back from grocery shopping to find her mother-in-law had shaved her baby’s head.

Taking to US forum website Babycenter.com, the woman, who goes by the name Alexandra58, said her husband and mother-in-law gave her no warning about what they were about to do and she’s still “super upset” about it.

The mum went on to say that her “inconsiderate and selfish” mother-in-law was already in the doghouse for showering her daughter with kisses on Christmas Eve when she was sick with the flu.

“My bf and MIL (mother-in-law) shaved my baby,” she started her post.

“I came home yesterday from an hour-long grocery run to bald baby.

“I'm still upset he chose to do it without my consent and that his mom was a participant since she's already in the doghouse for coming over Christmas Eve and smothering her with kisses when she had the flu.

“My poor baby looks so funny and I'm amazed she sat through it.”

The mum then goes on to say that “it’s a cultural thing” for her husband and mother-in-law and they’ve done it to all the girls in the family, however she “clearly showed disapproval” when they broached the topic with her.

“No way in hell they're staying with her alone anymore I might just walk in with her ears pierced next,” she said, claiming they’ve now been saying her girl looks like a little boy without them.

When one commenter said she would be “livid” and questioned why her husband would go along with it, the woman said her other half is “clueless” when it comes to babies.

“He relies on his mom’s outdated advice but he should’ve known better when I refused to do it,” she said.

“He apologised and admitted he was wrong for doing so but it was my mother-in-law’s idea since she gave him a new electric shaver for Christmas and he didn’t let me know because he knew I’d get mad and he wanted her to have pretty hair and he feels he doesn’t have a say in anything else.”

The woman believes that her husband’s mother wants to have a massive part in her grandchildren’s lives because she didn’t parent any of her own kids because she was too young when she had them.
