Do you children like to play with your hair?

Here recently my daughter has formed this obsession with wanting to play with my hair. I wear it in a ponytail a lot. She will try to get my hair out of the ponytail so she can play with it. I will let her have her fun with it until she starts pulling on it. Then playtime is over. So do your children like to play with your hair? Do you let them?

My son loves playing with my hair, and having us play with his. When he was just a newborn he would grab a handful of my hair when he was eating. Now that he's almost 18 months old, he will crawl in my lap from time to time when he's tired or something, and rub my hair for a little bit. When he sleeps with me (which is VERY rare), he goes to sleep on my arm, and he has his left hand buried in my hair and his right thumb in his mouth. If he is sleeping by himself, he plays with his own hair until he gets to sleep.

I used to do this a lot when I was a kid. I loved playing with my mom's hair. I always imagined her to be a really beautiful doll that I could play with and make her prettier! She even let me makeup her face sometimes. I'll start putting on lipstick and eyeshadow. I really had fun! :D

My son is seven years old and is absolutely obsessed with hair. He's pretty much out of luck with me but he's always playing with his sister and Moms hair and they don't mind. He calls it "fluffing" and we've had to talk to him about doing it to kids when they are over visiting...he can't understand why not everyone likes it.

Right now my daughter only plays with my hair. But I'm sure once she gets older I'll have to explain to her she can't play with just anyones hair.

Yes, my daughter like to play with my hair. Sometime she will pull my hair too but I just let her pull and told her - Its so painful darling, don't pull mummy's hair. And she will listen but sometimes she not. I never get angry with her because she just a baby still don't know.
