What are your thoughts on men's hair, and why does my brother, my cousin, me, and my five week old nephew all share the same hairline?

God decided that was what would distinguish the men in your family from anyone else. From now on, when you see a male with the same hairline, you can recognize that they are a member of your family, no matter where they are from. Greet them accordingly!

Is it a receding hairline? That would not be a good look for the baby. Better fix that.

Another nephew? Does the first one exhibit male pattern baldness also?

It’s not fair, of course, and it’s also not very funny. I weep for you and your lost follicles.

My family and that of my children’s father had the Russian (need to keep the head warm during the winter in an unheated hut) hair gene.

@snowberry Thin on top. The babies has since come in more. Mine, not so much.

@gailcalled None of us take it too seriously. It’s just hair.

@Adirondackwannabe: You may not, but the nephews are seriously upset. it makes meeting babes at the playground problematical.

@gailcalled Believe me, this nephew is a major stud. Eighteen months and he’s a babe magnet.

That is such happy news. He was the one who was a peanut at birth, was he not, if I am remembering correctly? is the new one a brother?

I was referring to the older one, not the peanut. The peanut is also a major stud too. He has lot’s of hair though. I’ll get you pics on Tuesday when I’m in the office.

That’s a promise, yes?

You seem to be wading in nephews.

Yup. Promise. I have two. I’m just insane about both of them.:)

Ok, hairlines all the same is weird, I grant you. But how weird is it when you have 3 nephews and they are all redheads!! I mean, red hair is recessive. And there is no one in my family that we knew of with red hair, plus, one redhead is adopted…..just totally random. Weird!

@Earthgirl That’s wild. Not a redhead in the family.

Not that I know of, but then we do have the Irish in us! Chances are…

Not weird at all. It just means all the women in the family liked men with receding hair lines, (or this is where it might get weird), there is a family curse and during the middle of the night you all sleep walk and pluck the hairs that grow outside of the hair line. Of course you guys do it for the babies.
Or, it could just be genetics. And your great grandfather has some really strong genes and grandma was a cousin and carried the same genes.

Ooh, baby… love that matching hairline look!

@Earthgirl I’m a redhead and only knew my mother’s side of the family while I was growing up. No redheads in that family, as far back as anyone could remember. (Later, I learned that my bio-dad’s sister was a redhead, so at least I know where half the genes required came from.) Meanwhile, my mom married my stepfather when I was four years old, and he happened to be a redhead! People always assume he’s my ‘real’ dad. Later on, I married a man whose family are all dark -haired, -eyed, and -skinned. Of our three kids, one is a fair skinned redhead. That gene is determined.

it is because your were actually conceived on pluto and that is the standard for hairlines there. hehe just wanted to make you laugh! I love a bald head!

I quite literally couldn’t give a pluck.
