A heartwarming secret unveiled in a suburban home

Whenever Emma’s mom, Lydia, was in need of a babysitter, she would ask her mother to step in. To her delight, the loving grandma always responded positively to those requests because she saw it as a way of bonding with her vibrant 6-year-old granddaughter.

The two always laughed together and had a lot of fun, but one thing that concerned Lydia was that her daughter’s hair was different after every visit by the grandma.

After a couple of babysitting “sessions,” Lydia decided to install cameras and see why her daughter’s hair was always cut shorter and shorter.

She never mentioned anything to her mother because it was obvious Emma loved being around her but still, she was a bit concern and wanted to learn what was going on behind closed doors.

Feeling a sense of guilt for monitoring her own mother without her knowledge, Lydia hesitated on whether to use the cameras, but curiosity got the best of her and she checked on her mom and daughter.

What she saw warmed her heart.

In the past, Lydia’s mom worked as a hairdresser, a story she would often tell Emma. The young girl became so immersed in the stories that she wished she were a hairdresser herself. Wanting to impress her grandma, she would grab the scissors and cut small portions of her long hair. The two of them would then laugh together.

Playing ‘salon’ seemed to be Emma’s favorite activity with her grandma, who let Emma ‘style’ her hair, indulging the little girl’s whims with no ill intentions.

Learning this removed all of Lydia’s concerns. She wasn’t mad at her mother, but she still had a conversation with her about the importance of boundaries and open conversation.

Realizing just how interested Emma was in styling her hair, Lydia enrolled her in weekend children’s workshops. This way, she could still nurture her passion, but under guidance of professionals who wouldn’t let her cut her own hair.

The grandma, of course, was still welcomed to look after Emma whenever she wanted.
