Yes! It’s gotta be the same anti-tattoo loon. The one that doesn’t know what controlling means. And will never cut the apron strings. And thinks all tattoos are trashy.
She’s definitely spicing up my Friday morning!

Hon, you need to understand the nuance of the different types of control. You are hell bent on some narrow view of it as if it’s some dystopian type. Parents have some control of their children until they are fully fledged. You either had no good parental upbringing or are incredibly naive.

Ooh the “Hon” is a nice touch!
Loon PP take note - you’ve got some competition here.
May I suggest just a touch more self righteousness next time?
And your insults need a little work. Not enough flair. “Naive” is somewhat weak.

No, I call like it is. One thing you’re right about is the weak part. Naive people are weak.

Better! You get a point for the deliberate misunderstanding of the weak thing. I’ll give you another chance. I have faith in you! Make me cry!

Competition?! Who says that?
We are sooo scared.

Controlling an adult - not a good way to go.

Like you trying to control the mother.

How am I trying to do that? I’m just pointing out it’s a bad idea.

No, you aren’t pointing it out as a bad idea. You did, however dramatize it as controlling.

She literally said “how can I keep my kid from getting a tattoo”. That is literally the definition of controlling.

I think the word literally has control over you.
The definition of controlling is not “she literally said how can I keep my kid from getting a tattoo.”

Still waiting to hear how OP trying to stop her 18 year old from doing something is NOT controlling.

All parents should have some control over college age kid.
Someone needs to take control of you because you are dumb as a box of rocks.

All you are really doing is asking your adult kid to lie to you and hide things from you.

I got a tattoo at 19 and my parents didn't find out for a good decade. Control tactics do not work. Period.

Control tactics sure as hell worked on me. I knew there were consequences and didn’t want to abuse that.
You were a bad egg and a liar.

You are naïve and a sheep. Try growing a personality.

You’re the sheep for getting the tattoo. Try growing your own personality instead of trying to follow the cool crowd.

The cool kids don't get tattoos. The losers do. They're the ones who hang out around the smoking lounge in HS.

No, like I said, you’re naive and are pissed about getting called out on your “control” word rant.

Aren’t you the pp who got mad about control? Yet, here you are trying to control others.

You should definitely threaten to not pay for college. Then when he gets the tattoo, you will have a college drop out with a tattoo. You can be so proud.

Not who you responded to but I didn’t do your laugh is laughable to think that you are in control as a college student wholly.

You’ve completely missed the boat.

Unfortunately (for you) he's old enough now to make his own decision on that.

He can and she can discourage it.

I'm quite sure she already HAS discouraged it. She can't "keep" him from getting one though, and she can't force him to wait X more years before he gets one if so he chooses.

How old are you? Was this a thing in the 60's?

This advice is always so short sighted lol. Plus, punishing an adult for what they do with their OWN body is so icky.

You’ve passed your prime. Clearly. I thought there was potential here but boy was I wrong. You peaked early and it’s been all downhill from there. Boring.
