Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Holy Cow! What a jerk " perfect mom!!! " I think I would have been going ballistic so I have to hand it to you for keeping your calm! In all the times we've had Josh for hair cuts and he acts as if he's being tortured, we, thank goodness, have never encountered anything like you did. Kudos to you for how you handled it but, boy, that " perfect mom " sure needs lessons in respect! BTW, where did you ever find a hair salon that has someone trained in sensory issues??

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Sherry, this woman is a saint. She, herself, has a child with SID. Just having to cut her own daughter's hair, made her look into training for these types of children. This salon is really teriffic.....it's just for kids, and they really do everything they can to make the kids happy and comfortable. The woman who does Jordan's hair has really tolerated a lot from him, but always with a smile. Her daughter is 14 now, so she's way over what Jordan is going through, but she said how she remembers her not even wanting her hair washed or combed, let alone cut. So she took a course in sensory integration to help her daughter, and of course it just spilled over into her work. Aside from being a wonderful hair cutter, she's a kind, patient and calm woman. Jordan loves her, even though he really gives her a hard time. Oh and as for " perfect mom " ......I cant' wait til I run into her in the food store. I'm gonna nail her with some on the vine tomatoes, lol.......bet she's got OCD, too, rofl........ ~k Re: [ ] Re: Karyn. Holy Cow! What a jerk " perfect mom!!!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 My kids, Benny's parents, loved that story--and I thought Jordan had the best comment of all! (I mean the one about mom, what's the matter with that lady? does she need medicine?) Peace, Kathy E. Kathleen_E@... On Jul 21, 2004, at 11:23 AM, sherry silvern wrote: > Holy Cow!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Karyn, you crack me up! I just got back to the office from yet another funeral (6 in the last two and a half months) and read your email - just laughed out loud about " perfect mom. " You are sooooo lucky to have a stylist who understands. We've not been as lucky but we have had some who are at least patient - feel soo bad for them, though, with Josh's crying, hitting, hiding his head in our arms, etc., etc. Hang on to her!!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 You know, I thought long and hard about where he'd come up with a comment like that. This morning, my two olders were fighting, I got so tired of the screaming, and I said to them " did you take your medicine this morning? " (two ADHD'ers, my son is the poster child for stimulant therapy) I then realized what he was thinking!!!! ~k Re: [ ] Re: Karyn.
