Cars? No, they already have cars. It is BREAST IMPLANTS! Yuck.

My kids didn't get it either.. But it didn't stop them when they turned 18.

The oldest of the girls has vitiligo (my son has it too) over much of her body.<BR/>Anyways there's a couple in the resturant who loudly talk about how they wouldn't bring their child out in public if she looked like that!!! My Dad almost jumped up and had words with them but my niece told him not to worry about them it didn't bother her, God made her this way and people just need to except it. The irony of this whole thing was the couple had covered most of their bodies in tattoo's!!!<BR/><BR/>Lisalrmarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229867524052559206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73733781599400422.post-7425043438286532092008-10-15T16:47:00.000-05:002008-10-15T16:47:00.000-05:00my son wanted to get his ear pierced, or gaged or ...my son wanted to get his ear pierced, or gaged or something stupid like that...i said fine...but i get to place the next piercing and you won't like where i put it. that was the end of that conversation.<BR/>as for tatoos...i can't wait to see them when they are 80 and wrinkled.jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362229673390519468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73733781599400422.post-49627406524616640152008-10-15T16:05:00.000-05:002008-10-15T16:05:00.000-05:00There are organizations that provide financial ass...There are organizations that provide financial assistance in removing gang tattoos. A lot of the kids get these things and are then stuck. Some gangs don't let you out and as long as they are wearing a gang tattoo, they increase the risk that rival gang members will jump them. <BR/><BR/>Stay away from the kids with tear drops on their faces.

All the same, come on, when did mamas start thinking putting tattoos on their babies was a swell idea? I still think of my babies' soft, precious skin. The notion of a needle or a mark on it makes me cringe. <BR/><BR/>My son has called them stupidity badges and my husband points out that no matter how nice a tattoo, it amounts to a cartoon on your skin.<BR/><BR/>As for me, I can see the artistry of them when they are done well.

That is why you have a juvenile justice system in the first place. Adults understand (or should understand) that most teenagers don't think straight and don't consider the consequences. If they are thinking ahead 5 days, that's pretty good. <BR/><BR/>Knowing this, I get frustrated that some parents STILL have a hard time standing firm when their teen wants to do something foolish or dangerous. To me, it is a lot like allowing a mentally retarded female to go off to a party with older boys and alcohol just because she thinks that sounds like fun. To a certain extent, parents are SUPPOSED to step in and save them from themselves - at least on the dangerous stuff. Eventually, the kids will be mature enough to make rational decisions. Parents might not agree with those decisions, but at a certain point, they are fully capable of making them on their own.Lady Beekeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972692199686815560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73733781599400422.post-71597728229304674692008-10-15T08:47:00.000-05:002008-10-15T08:47:00.000-05:00No tats here, and no desire for one either. I foug...No tats here, and no desire for one either. I fought tooth and nail with my girls coming up wanting to get a piercing. There was no way I was going to allow that to happen. Yes, I was a bit strict with my children, but I think that as a parent it is our job to know when to put our foot down. I see so many parents not caring what their kids do, just because it is easier for them to let them do what they want. Well who ever said raising children was going to be easy? It's our responsibility as parent to teach and guide them, no matter how much they say they hate us, or tell us how mean we are, etc. In the end they will know how much you truly do love them. I'll never forget the time I switched my daughters legs up with a switch, yes it did leave some whelps. Call me bad but it was the one time I felt she needed it. I had caught her smoking and I admit I was afraid they may have called this abuse but, this was the first time I ever had to switch her. I told her when I sent her to school the next day that if the teacher asked her about it, to tell her exactly what I said when you got the switching, my words"This switching won't kill you, but those cigarettes will"Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13167060727047564199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73733781599400422.post-9420652307163290732008-10-15T08:34:00.000-05:002008-10-15T08:34:00.000-05:00All you have to do is type into google (tattoo Hep...All you have to do is type into google (tattoo Hep C) to be alarmed. I say this with knowledge because in 1979 through a blood transfusion I got Hep C after having surgery. Blood was not screen until 1992. I didn't know I had it until a year ago when it finally decided to kill my liver & me.<BR/><BR/>Since then I have gained a lot of knowledge on the subject. Tattoo's and piercings are becoming a major problem. Since I didn't know I had it for 30 years, would you have wanted to get a tatoo after me? Death from Hep C has become greater then HIV. <BR/><BR/>Besides this, if you have a recent tattoo, within 10 years of your death,you cannot be an organ donor. Guess why. I know this because my 27 yr. old son was a donor. First question they asked me was did he have any tattoo's.Holeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724824435789407791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73733781599400422.post-15097697529623064742008-10-15T08:33:00.000-05:002008-10-15T08:33:00.000-05:00When I worked as a substitute teacher last year I ...When I worked as a substitute teacher last year I was amazed at what some parents let their kids do. We can say no...ya know??! One girl came in to the nurse's office once a day for a week to clean out her bellybutton piercing. She was 15. I just don't understand what is going on. Kids will always push the envelope and ask for stuff....it is up to us as their parents to tell them no when it needs telling. It is allright to keep them innocent as long as we can. Let them have a childhood. When they are 18 they can make some of their own decisions. Til then they are in our care. Sorry for the long reply but parents really baffle me sometimes. <BR/>Loved the dog pics from yesterday!!!

She also wants a "quarter sleeve" tat and I told her flat out that if she did that I'd still love her but no more $$$$'s from me!
