OP is one of six siblings, raised by a mother who has never truly acted as a parent. Their mother prioritized appearances, obsessing over their blonde hair and spending money on salon visits instead of on necessities like groceries. As a rebellious act, each sibling dyed and cut their hair on their 16th birthday to spite her. Now it’s OP’s turn, but they cherish their long blonde hair and refuse to alter it just to hurt their mother. Although their siblings are angry about OP’s decision, they remain resolute, feeling torn about whether they are wrong for rejecting the family tradition.
