Default Mow Hawk On a 7-year old


My ex-wife is nuts!!! Ok, maybe that is a bit extreme but there is one particular issue that has come up this week and that is the reason I need help.
My ex loves my son, there is no doubt about that, but she relies on him so heavily for emotional support that I fear it is becoming VERY unhealthy. My son is 7 years old. My ex-wife is a diagnosed bulimic and has been being treated for depression for several years now. During our psychological evaluation she admitted to self medicating with alcohol and against the doctors recommendation she was still deemed fit to be the primary custodial parent. At any rate, I could probably go on and on for hours about her issues and my concerns but let me address the most recent matter, and the reason I need your help.

Apparently my ex wife promised my son, unbeknownst to me, that if he did well in school that he could get a mow hawk. His grades decreased throughout the year and his attendance was deplorable (by no fault of his own). Regardless, she took him and got him the mow hawk. It looks just plain stupid. I am to pick up my son this weekend for three weeks of scheduled parenting time and I'm not at all happy about the haircut and I think it sets a bad precedent and should not be allowed. She sent me pictures of it and has told him not to let me cut his hair.
What should I do as having a punk rock seven year old is in my opinion inappropriate and frankly a little embarassing.
Please Help.


Thanks

hmm mod I didnt see a link to other thread and I am cruisn through so please move this if need be.

I am thinking its summer time right? So I would let your child have his mohawk during the summer and get it out of his system. i fhe does it now he will not feel the need to do it as an adult. As children they learn way faster when people move away from them because of how they look. Your ex is right do not cut his hair until he is breaking down crying he wants it done.
lets get it out of his system while its still summer time. And usually they cut mohawks now so when it grows out and parted down the middle it will look like a bowl cut and they can spike it on the weekends and look normal during the week so not to disturb or disrupt school or what not.

Ooh fount the other one sorry
here the link for other folks
