Round 156
It seems that my sister and her "baby's daddy", she refuses to be linked to him in any romantic way, have yet to find a common ground when it comes to their daughter, my niece, Aubrey. Both mean well, and sometimes more or less than the other, but they cannot solve their minor issues to save their lives. Their heated arguments can be subjected to anything from money to work to the baby to her held-together-by-a-piece-of-scotch-tape car or my favorite of them all is Aubrey's new haircut.
With her 1st birthday in less than a week, Baby Daddy decided to give Aubrey her first haircut. However, her hair now seems extremely unnatural as you can easily tell that someone botched her first haircut. To make matters worst, Baby Daddy did it without permission. He snuck the baby away to his mother's and gave her a haircut there. She now looks like a refugee infant boy escaping from the Philippines in a hollowed out tree.
That was the subject of their most recent fight, but all of it feels like endless rounds of kickboxing. They both know what needs to happen; it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Breakup, stop living together, and find a good custody arrangement. But until they can see clearly, which they cannot now from trying to hurt the other, they will always remain enemies.

The first haircut is monumental! I have a friend whose mother cut her granddaughter's bangs and didn't understand why the girls mother freaked out! There are people who save locks of hair for crying out loud! It is up there with the first tooth. I hope they work it out - babies should grow up surrounded by love and the sounds of love - not anger, frustration, one-up-man-ship and bitter disappointment. I wish I had 10 kids but I also waited until 35 to start having them. So the trade off is I get only 2 kids but I'm patient, gentle, long-suffering and totally devoid of any kind of hormones that make my blood boil or help me fly off the handle. Which is better? I'll let my kids be the judge of that.
