How to save my nephew?

[Shootin 4 Fun]

After careful consideration, I'm changing my position on this subject.

You must beat the boy relentlessly until he vows to become a mini-me, or mini-you. We cannot allow kids to grow up to bucking the system, the must learn to be compliant and and let others do the thinking.

So I see Keelty and S4F are attempting to make you a honest member of society -- how's that working out so far??

I will always wear the black hat, besides first they would have to become respectable.

Jenny keeps cutting it off.

So, you keep getting cut off?

My kid wanted his ear pierced when he was in grade school. I wouldn't let him. Finally, in the 6th grade, I told him he could, but just one, and nothing else. It lasted a few years.

In the 9th grade, he wanted a mohawk. He is a football kid, mind you, and not a punk. It came and went all through highschool, between flat tops and high and tights. When football was over, so was the mohawk.

He graduated with a 3.8 GPA, and as the president of the student council. He has a full time job, and is going to college.

If kids can't find a way to express themselves in a healthy way, they usually find a way in an unhealthy way. It's just hair. He's just a kid. Get over it.

Haha! My middle son begged and begged and begged to get his lip pierced but I had to sign off on it because he was under 18. The kid was relentless ... nag, nag, nag ... He was driving GC and I NUTS!

Finally he says to me one day "Dammit, Mom, just let me do it. You have your boobies pierced! That's just being a hypocrite."

So, I think to myself, "Oh, really ... that's how you want to play it?? Self, do have a wonderful time at your middle son's pyschological expense ..."

And I proceeded to do so ...

I asked him how many children he had raised while working 2 and 3 jobs because he had been stupid enough to marry a deadbeat idiot who thought more of his next drink that his own kids ...

Zero, check.

Then I asked him how many houses he had purchased so his kids could have a nice home instead of living in trashy apartments where nothing worked and you could hear the neighbors making another welfare baby every night ...

Zero, check.

Then I told him that that was fine, I'd be glad to take him to my piercer because he had made his point about me being such a damned hypocrite, but that I would only sign off for him to get his lip pierced if he agreed to have his dick pierced too.

He sucked in a little gasp, turned a nice, pasty, slightly greenish shade of pale and wondered off muttering something to himself. I couldn't quite catch what he was saying ... LOL

Kid never said another word about getting anything pierced until he was in his mid-20s and then he said "Thanks, Mom, for not letting me poke holes in my face ... I was such a stupid kid, huh?"

I just smiled and told him that no, he wasn't a stupid kid but he was a kid. We all go through wanting things that might not be in our best, long-term interests. The trick is, when you are an adult, you know what you can pull off without causing problems for yourself (most of the time) and what you can't. Kids don't have that life experience yet.

Moral of the story: If, when you are 42, you still want your lip (or whatever) pierced, have at it ... LOL
