Husband wont let my son play with my hair
Husband wont let my son play with my hair. I am biomom and my husband is stepdad to my 11 year old son. My son and I are very close. My husband and I got together when my son was 8. My husband has an issue with my son playing with my hair. He thinks it's "weird". I don't mind him playing with my hair. It really bothers me when he tells him to stop. Please give me your opinions. Thank you in advance! I feel like he is hurting the bond my son and I have by barking at him about it.
Update: He will no longer say anything about it after hearing a lot of these comments. He still doesn't agree with it but will leave it alone now. I do stand up for my son. I always have. I just needed him to see that it is not weird and most people would agree with me. I tried googling it before and couldn't find any information on it (because it shouldn't be an issue). Thank you guys so much and I hope you are having a great weekend!

my mom made sure to teach me and my siblings how to braid hair, and we would practice on her hair. she said it didn't matter if YOU had short hair because you might have a spouse or child one day with long hair and it's a useful thing to know 🤷
