girl help: What will make my daughter listen?

What will make my daughter listen?

She just got out of the hospital a few weeks ago because of cancer. She lost all her hair. She asked me to get a wig for her but I said no and she started to cry. She survived cancer and should be proud. She even posted it a couple of times on here. I’m not trying to be mean, I’m trying to help her. What will get her to stop complaining about being bald and just except who she is?

No offense, but that is not good parenting, not letting your daughter get a wig and making her cry.

You probably should buy her a wig, I think girls take being bald badly.

Oh my god. How DARE you tell her she isn’t allowed a wig. A very close friend of mine was in an abusive relationship and lost all of her hair due to stress, I’ve been diagnosed with cancer and been told I will lose my hair if they have to do chemo. A wig isn’t denying who you are and what you have been through, it’s restoring your femininity and sense of self. Do you wash your hair? Do you get it cut? Coloured? If you believed that hair is nothing to do with who are you you’d just leave it be. Get the girl what she wants for heavens sake.

You know, she can probably talk to one of her friend’s parents and they can get a wig for her without your permission.

No, that’s not possible if your talking about wig donations. Wig donations for children need approval from both guardians

did you talk to her about it? or did you just simply say “no”?

That seems like a very hard stance. If a wig will make her feel better than why not get one?

your daughter is suffering, if getting her a wig eases that suffering in anyway, then let her have a wig. if she wants to feel normal, then let her.

I’m so happy she survived it. She would feel a lot better if you get her a wig. Please don’t make her cry.

You don’t say how old she is , but being bald can be very upsetting to most people. You can try showing her pics of adults you have lost their hair, Melisa Etheridge for one. But I would let her get a wig until her hair grows back. Scarves and hats would be another option. Being stressed out is not good for her recovery , she needs to feel good about herself.
