[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our policy is no piercings or tattoos until 21.  Not even ears. [/quote]

+1. Same.  Takes the discussion and begging off the able.  When they are of legal age and sound mind, they can make holes in themselves. [/quote]

How do you enforce that? You can’t stop an 18 year old from getting a piercing or tattoo. [/quote]

You threaten to stop paying their college tuition.

Honestly, it’s all about family rules and expectations.  [/quote]

This is what I started the other thread about.  I'm with you on having rules and expectations.  But sometimes kids break those rules and fail to meet those expectations.  Your kid comes home for winter break with a nose stud.  Do you really stop paying tuition?[/quote]

Yes.  But when you have a history of saying what you mean and meaning what you say all your kids lives, it never comes to that. [/quote]

My parents were like this, PP, and it worked.  My brothers and I never tested them after toddlerhood.  [/quote]

It works because you and your siblings and pps kids are very compliant. Not all people are. I'm thinking of my sister here who would have got the piercing, moved out, found another way to do college and cut my parents off completel   forever, no grandchildren etc.[/quote]

+1 I grew up with controlling parents like this, I got the piercing and did what they want. And they don't see my kids I'm  refusing to allow their toxicity in their lives. It kills them that they can't control me with money.[/quote]
