Parents

im sure most of us have heard “you can tell me anything, and ill consider” from our parents, but isnt that a big lie. Why is it that if you get the courage to tell your parent you want to get a peircing, or a tatoo or whatever, they dont even consider, I mean you rather me do it in an alley? I think that if you have the balls to ask your parents they should at least think about it not just shoot it down and say “never”. what are your thoughts?Dont you think they should at least tell you why not?

Answer #1

Certainly there should always be 2 way communication - that said, the parents final decision needs to be respected - they’re looking after your best interests and there really is something to that ‘been there, done that’, called ‘experience’…Take care !!

Answer #2

Well, I manipulate my mom to get what I want so…I could get a tattoo if I wanted to lol And I think that a parent sholud let their kid get a tattoo or peircing if they want it

Answer #3

This is why I don’t ask my dad anything anymore haha because it’s always a no. so I go to my mom and she usually says yes and talks my dad into it :]

Answer #4

this isnt from personal experience, but my mom always says “if you evrey want something come to me”

Answer #5

Tattoos are for life pretty much! I am a mom and I’m not so sure on that subject! They can cause you to be turned down for jobs and things like that and also I know a lot of people ( my friends ) that got them when they were a teenager and totally regret it now. The colors fade, when they got married they had this ugly tattoo and it didn’t go with their wedding dress LOL. When they got dressed up for special occasions it stuck out like a sore thumb. So seriously think about all they ways it can effect your life before you decide if YOU reallly want one! I admit some do look really neat, but over time you change your taste, the colors of them bleed in to one another, and they don’t come off…Piercings some are cute to me, I thought about getting one or two myself but was too chicken LOL

Answer #6

As you know, I am a parent and we all aren’t like that. I agree that she should, at least, consider it. I know, I hated it when my Mom would say ‘because I said so’, when I’d ask her why about something. Maybe you could tell her how you feel and say that you’d like to feel like you can come to her about anything and that you do consider her thoughts and feelings about things before you just go out and do them. Or is she just, totally, close-minded?

Answer #7

I am a mum also, My kids aren’t old enough to be thinking of those things yet but I had to live with me mum awhile and I think it’s mainly because they think you could get hurt or maybe they think that you might want to take it even further maybe like get tattoo’s all over ye body over time.Ye know what I’m saying? I mean I wouldn’t mind me self letting me kids get one but maybe when they get a bit older…:-)

Answer #8

shes kinda closeminded, especially if she doesnt like it
