Ex Son in Law’s girlfriend dyed the children’s hair!!!!

That wasn’t to you, oldbatty - though I expect a floozy can be persistent......

Should read Floozy. Slang for a disreputable woman, or, the young woman SiL had an affair with while DD was pregnant. Take your pick.

7th January! ?
Oh Lord, 10 more days ?

Oh I don't get it. Somebody was pregnant and then had a sister and then dyed their hair?

What do the children themselves think about their hair? If they’re not upset by it, best ignore. Not permanent - no harm done, only annoying.

How bored do you have to be to find it amusing?

(To start the thread I mean)

I think if the product has not washed out after two shampoos then the girlfriend used inappropriate products for a child. Its up to your DD to agree some ground rules with ex, not easy but thoughtlessness can escalate, there is also the issue of how safe the products are if not designed for use on children.

Only one possible outcome..... after 24 hours their heads will explode.

You could always shave their heads like my friend's ex SiL did to her two DGSs just before dropping them off at her 60th birthday bash.

Proudnanna I am with you. The younger children will not have had any opinion on what was done to her hair.

Assuming your daughter has custody, she could go to a solicitor. On the other hand it could have been done deliberately to annoy and as an exercise of power. Your DD needs to think carefully about her response. Again legal advice might help.

When I decided to stop dyeing my hair I wanted the old semi-permanent dye out asap so I googled the best ways of removing or fading hair dye. The best ones were Head and Shoulders shampoo or ,even better, cheap shaving foam applied to the hair and left on for 10 mins or so before washing out. Worked for me.

ProudNanna if I go round there do you think she'll dye mine?
I fancy lilac, perhaps she could mix the blue and pink innit?

Ignore it. Its between your daughter and ex sil!

I see no reason to doubt the veracity of this post. It is very common for children to put coloured streaks in their hair or apply nail varnish during the holidays.

Last Christmas, after I had admired my 2 DGD's streaks, they gave me a set of small pots of the chalky stuff and on Christmas day applied same to my hair until I looked like a Steven Brown Coo. Washed it on Boxing Day and all but the blue disappeared, but I was left with the blue streak until it grew out.

PS, My blue fringe was much admired by my friends - I was even asked which hairdresser did it

Proud Nanna Hope the powder washes out soon. Please shrug this off and don't let this incident become a long running feud with their Dad.

The children didn’t do it themselves, according to Poster a ‘floozy’ did it
Still find it perfectly believable ?

I think it's exactly the type of thing a younger girlfriend might do, possibly because she thought the children would like it and probably because she knew it would annoy their mother. I don't see anything odd in the OP at all. If I was ProudNanna I would be extremely annoyed as well.

2 year olds enjoy being included & imitating big siblings. The big sibling might have asked for it OR the adults bought it as a pressie, its not unusual.

Regardless the children were their father's responsibility while visiting him and he appears to be fine with it.

So now you're not allowed to say whether or not you are taking a thread seriously?

Seriously??

I'm with you . ProudNanna I would be hopping mad.

The 7yr old is likely to start getting invited to pamper parties/sleepovers soon too with hair chalk and glitter tattoos etc and they tend to be in term time weekends so even less time to wash it out!

The stepmum was sensible to do it at at the start of the hols...
