[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd tell him I'm considering disowning him. I know it's not a popular opinion here, but I feel just as strongly that no child of mine will have a job that involves guns or the military.

OP, have you talked extensively with your son about your two friends who died?  [/quote]

:roll: You're an idiot. That's a great way to drive a teenager deeper into their commitment to doing whatever you don't want them to do.

Also, hope you enjoy going to work every day knowing how much of your taxes go to the military! [/quote]

I'm the PP with three military kids, one of whom was seriously injured in Afghanistan.  I'm grateful that the majority of people appreciate our men and women in uniform.  I'm saddened that a parent - any parent - would ever consider "disowning" a child for any reason. There is absolutely nothing my kids could ever do or say that would lead me to even have that thought.  Rather than be angry with this poster, we should feel sad.  This is a parent incapable of unconditional love.  Can you imagine what it must be like for her children.  Unfortunately, those wounds are hard to heal. [/quote]

Its ok, people like us just have those kids join us at holidays and important occasions.  We will love them unconditionally if their parents don't.[/quote]
