Yah,i agreed..
Stiobes,
After talking to some of my relatives,including my mum and future MIL,i realise they know little about the traditions,unlike us,we can do research via the internet.so different people have different thinking..maybe your mil didnt went through the hair combing and now she see theres no need to and prehaps has no idea how to do it..if you and your parents are ok to go w/o it,then so be it..personally i feel that all these traditions are for our parents..
For eg,for me, my mum knows nuts about anything,she needs to consult her elder sister..but she said theres no need to have the roasted pig..she said very troublesome..both me and fiance are ok with it..mil should be ok with it too..most importantly all parties have to feel comfortable of the decisions..
