How do I decline her advice without telling her she looks like she set her head on fire?
My mother-in-law, in her 80s, has been dyeing her hair increasingly bright colors since the day she noticed her first gray strand.
Frankly, I think she looks ridiculous, but she thinks she is the sexiest thing walking the face of the Earth, and of course I would never tell her otherwise.I have reached the age where I am beginning to go gray, and I am fine with this. I have never been one to pretend I am something that I am not, and I am no longer a young girl. I intend, to the best of my ability, to age with dignity and grace, and to embrace the beauty of every stage of life.
I have no intention of coloring my hair, ever. But my mother-in-law cannot leave it alone. She says I look ancient, that I am letting myself go, and if I would just dye my hair like hers, we could look like sisters. How can I get her to accept that I am content with my appearance and not interested in coloring my hair, without telling her she looks like she set her head on fire?“No, we still wouldn’t look like sisters. You’re so modern, and I couldn’t possibly keep up with you. I’d just look silly trying.”My husband and I received a save-the-date from my nephew. His father, my brother, told me it’s a small wedding. I figured as much, since my kids, the groom’s cousins, hadn’t received an invitation.
