Im back and different

I'm back and got a few questions to ask. I did something that pretty much goes against society's norm here. I have done it before and loved it and did it again. Benny was on board with it and even did it for me. He likes it, I like it, folks hate it just as much as they did the first time.
I went and shaved my head. I kinda look at hair as in it's just hair, it will grow back. No big deal, right? But, I have had two comments made to me that bothered me.

First one was from my dad. He said that I was not a very good role model to my kids. That one pissed me off and hurt because he would not have said that the day before. Did I really change that much because of a hair cut? I don't think so.

The second comment was from my mom. She said because of my hair, Benny doesn't have to worry about any guys hitting on me now. Did she just tell me I was ugly? Not attractive? Not sexy?

Here is my question to yall. What makes a woman sexy/attractive? Is it really inner beauty that counts or is it what is on the outside?

Ok honey, the pic is kinda dark..but I can still see it. I think this just fits in with a lot of other things that "aren't ok" with a lot of judgmental people in the world, such as gays, etc. I think it's really sad actually. I'm always threatening to shave my hair off..it gets on my nerves! You shouldn't worry about the judgments of others, even those as close as your parents..I've been on the judged side before too (my tattoos) and I know it can hurt, piss ya off, etc. Seriously...I think this "hair" cut gives you SASS! Not that you really needed anymore. SEXY SASS!!! I guess I've learned we can't spend our lives trying to please everyone..we'd be running in circles trying to accomplish this as everyone likes something different. I SUPPORT YOU!

It's the inside that counts! You are beautiful either way! And I love that you went against the norm. That rocks.

Hair is just hair! Im with ya on that one. If you and the hubs like it then it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks. Im sure it hurts coming from your parents though...but still if you like it and it suits you then that is what is important...and if not then it can always grow back!

Sexy has nothing to do with hair. Odds are if my bride shaved hers shed have to tell me!!!!

YAY for you doing what you want to do!!! I love you for that. I would never have the balls to shave my hair off. My luck it would never grow back. Honestly I've found that family will always be our best friends and worst enemies when it comes to speak their minds. You are definitely beautiful with our without hair and you need to remember that and not worry about what everyone else thinks. Would they say that to a person going through chemo? Nope didn't think so. Keep on being you girl!!! XOXO

My favorite thing about you is your raw emotion and honesty! That has absolutely nothing to do with what you look like!
You are beutiful inside and out even with a shaved head. You are a wonderful grown woman with a husband who adores you and great kids who respect you. I think if anything, you are teaching your kids that it DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE because you are the exact same person you were before.
Maybe your parents are hurt or confused about this recent change in your appearance but I think once they get over that first shock they will realize what a great daugther they raised to be her own person and they will be proud of you for that.
And besides, it's just hair!

I think you look cute! Before I even read this post I was gonna say how cute you look in your new profile pic! And why don't people keep their mouths shut if they have nothing nice to say!

I truly believe that it's confidence that makes a woman attractive. I think their comments were uncalled for, really.
