I decided a long time ago that I would like to have my children think that blue hair or a mohawk are the most awful things they could possibly do to rebel - in the hopes that that is the worst they will ever get up to! <br />Somewhere I have a photo of my brother in his 30's with a blue mohawk . . . tho admittedly he only had it for one weekend for a fancy dress party and then shaved it off. I don't think his very corporate employer liked the skinhead look any better than they would have the blue mohawk though!Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823681431938282960.post-83658537007161862562010-09-30T20:27:09.178+01:002010-09-30T20:27:09.178+01:00Too bad about the photos.Can't he wear a hat!!...Too bad about the photos.Can't he wear a hat!!!!!!! <br />It does seem like a normal phase though.

Blue or mohawed hair grows (or falls out in his case) but a tattoo (which my son now has on his well shaped arm) is forever and since he didn't bother to ask my permission, I had no say. His taunt that he's in his 30's and needs no one's permission fell on deaf ears as I say I brought him into this world inkless and he should honor me by not doing this till I've left the planet. He looked at his 95 year old grandfather and muttered "yeah, right!". Enjoy the hair it'll be back to some semblence of normalcy soon!Sandi McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033518416111957858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823681431938282960.post-51686801726106082152010-09-30T08:28:19.044+01:002010-09-30T08:28:19.044+01:00I should be grateful my boy is sporting the floppy...I should be grateful my boy is sporting the floppy-fringe-over-the-face look at the moment then!

My Line when they wanted something stupid was "Get a Job". It's amazing how fast they back off when they know they have to pay and maintain all on their own. My two did manage to grow and now have grown children of their own. They are now saying the same thing to their kids I said to them. Guess I didn't get it too wrong.Baroness Bijouteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315237220272181004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823681431938282960.post-52424815383972532512010-09-29T23:05:34.957+01:002010-09-29T23:05:34.957+01:00Hair, clothes, piercings, tattoos I think were inv...Hair, clothes, piercings, tattoos I think were invented to cause us parents if teens grief.

Then I placed said child in a private school with a very strict dress code - so no blue hair or mohawks allowed. I also have used (and plan to continue to use) the "until you are off the payroll" argument on everything. As for the family photo....can the photographer photoshop one picture that you can hang on the mantel and reproduce for Christmas cards - while keeping the rest the way they were taken for torture purposes later?Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823681431938282960.post-81441529308137588012010-09-29T22:36:41.887+01:002010-09-29T22:36:41.887+01:00AuntieG - ha bloody ha.
