An interesting forum post… by Buzzbuck

While on one of my regular web crawls for… "inspiration", I cane across this post on Reddit.

reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/zvdpqy/aita_for_asking_my_son_to_get_a_haircut/

The text of the post is as follows: "
AITA for asking my son to get a haircut?

My son(17M) has been bothering my wife for quite a while on end to let him grow out his hair. I entirely disapprove of it, but I understand he has bodily autonomy and that times have changed since the way I was raised was mainstream, and am currently allowing it. I’ve been taking him to my barber to get a normal crew cut every 2 weeks when I get my flattop touched up since he was 7 years old, and recently I drank a little more than usual on account of it being the holidays, and asked him if he wanted to come with me to my next touchup. I immediately apologized, and said he didn’t have to come, but he was already mad at me. I understand that I was kind of an asshole here, but I wasn’t trying to upset him. I guess I want some insight into how he feels? Thanks.

Edit: Son went to his bfs for the night
"

Bits and pieces of this reminded me of some of the stuff written on here, so I’m not really sure whether this is fictional or not. The replies to it seem genuine, and the poster’s replies aren’t ever "out of character". Do y’all think this is real? I’d like to think it ended up alright.
