Your mom knew your preference and should have respected your wishes; her likes/dislikes though noted, do not give her the 'right' to just arbitrarily change something...Maybe take her out for lunch and express just how very important it is to you that she respect your choices and that when it comes to your little girl, absolutely nobody, no how is permitted to trim, clip, or bath her, period! I, too, was growing Piper's hair and expressly told groomer to leave the hair on her head long...When I went to pick her up, the hair on Piper's head had been chopped and I mean chopped--uneven, chunky, horrible (and everyone who saw her questioned her "do"). Probably a couple months passed and I took Piper to a different groomer, explained situation and requested bath only. Well, when I picked up my girl, I was stunned! She was clean and fresh, but somehow her hair looked longer than when I dropped her off...Turns out Tammy simply worked her expertise and evened-out the choppy and just "cleaned' Piper up in general. I was ecstatic! Find a fabulous groomer and I'll bet you'll be "over" your mom's goof-up in no time!! |
