The Military Wife Jan 2010 | Page 14

Q: I've been avoiding colouring my hair since I started to go prematurely gray, but my boyfriend says it makes me look old. I'd pay for the salon treatment if I could but even with my Bachelor's degree, the only job I could get on base is at Tim Horton's. He won't let me go to the salon though because he says it's too expensive. I can't afford it on my salary and can't stand the thought of buying dye and doing it myself.

A: It never fails to cause me amusement and dismay when I hear a woman telling me her insignificant other "won't let" her do something. Any military wife will tell you this: you do what you want, when you want, whether it's with his pay or yours. If you like being gray, then keep it gray. If you want to go darker, lighter, shorter or even longer, go for it. The best way to get your paws on his pay, though, is by making that boyfriend of yours into a husband by getting pregnant as soon as possible. Better yet, find a new boyfriend.
