Ok...time for a rant... My son is 12, a gorgeous, tall, sporty, gifted young man. This boy has INCREDIBLE potential. I see his soul and all the hights he can reach if only he would be given the chance to spread his wings. I evision him being a pro soccer player, a witty lawyer, a great architect, or even the president of the United States.

Currently, due to our current life situation (that I'm not going to elaborate on just now - its too long), my son goes to an Ultra Orthodox Chabad school where they put so many REDUNDANT & POINTLESS restrictions on them... it breaks my heart to see him try so hard to fit into this broken cult-like system 🥺

I gave him a haircut tonight... his hairs are very thick and tend to get spikey on the sides really quickly. I gave him a cool haircut- with the sides short #1/#2 blend and the top I didn't touch - but I blended the edges with a #3... The moment I was done, his dad (currently the one who I'm trying to split up from who is the main source of this crazy Chassidic bullshit) walks in and starts freaking out that it's not "chassidish" and that the principal has already given a warning about the "non-chassidish" haircuts 🙄🙄🙄 My son then agreed with his father bc he wanted to please him (although I know that he prefers it the way I made it).

Here goes the rant part... WHY THE HELL DO ORTHODOX CHASSIDIM LIVE BY THIS REDICULOUS CONCEPT OF KEEPING THE HAIR SHORT AND MAKING ALL THE BOYS AND MEN LOOK THE SAME WITH THE STUPID WHITE SHIRTS/BLACK PANTS?!?!?! My blood is boiling!!! 😡😡😡

I can't wait to get my kids away from this crazy cult crap!!! 👿🤬👹 There... I'm done venting... Thanks for listening...
