[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She can be a freak when she's supporting herself, out of the house, with her own money. If she wants an ordinary life in a family home, being gifted a college education - she's not to look like a freak[/quote]

Some of the posts in this thread are so awful. The above is a classic example of conditional parental love. Sometimes I really feel like the parenting norms in this area are sick. If you ventured to virtually any other town outside the stuffy halls of DC you'd see that people are a lot more freely expressing themselves (tattoos, hair, piercings etc.) and frankly a lot of the people are more relaxed and happy.

Of *course* it’s good to check in on her mental health and how she’s doing generally given that it’s such a drastic change in her appearance, but trying to control her appearance and expression seems more likely to backfire than not [/quote]

Maybe because the area is so full of parents who work as bureaucrats or law enforcement that they can’t imagine thinking out side the norm.  Although colorful pretty hair has been normal for a couple of decades.   [/quote]
