The two boys had beards in the last few months. I can't stand them and dropped a few subtle hints to get rid of them. Of course, you can't try and tell them what to do because they deliberately ignore you, so subtle and gentle is the way to go.
Obviously I am biased, but they are both nice looking lads and those long beards looked terrible and spoilt their faces. They could just not see it - either that or they wanted to annoy me ha!
Firstborn has a beard which can get quite out of hand sometimes, if he doesn't keep it trimmed. There will be hell to pay if I catch him using my Instyler to tidy it up. Probably serve me right for buying it in purple - his favourite colour!!
He has had his for nearly 5 years now so I can't see it going anytime soon - especially as his GF has a thing for beards! I actually think he looks quite good with a beard and, whilst overall I think I would prefer him to be clean shaven, I have sort of got used to it.
