So my kid wants to be a goth...
- Thread starter JohnE
- Start date
Yup!!
BTW, thanks for the, well, interesting reponses. I showed the Frau and she laughed herself silly! My biggest thing is that I want him to be who he is, not who some little b!tch at school or on the internet or wherever tells him he should be. And not who I want him to be, either. The whole "Be true to yourself" concept. And if he ends up like Marilyn Manson, and marries a hot stripper chick (ala Manson...) so be it.
But I don tthink he will go to the Moose Lodge with me in 25 years dressed like Marilyn Manson...

Just tell him what you told us, but act pissed of when doing it.
Well, the money is good if you do it right.
Let him...and then takes lots of pictures to make fun him with when he grows out of it.
Maybe the best idea of all.
I like it...
Face it, it could be a helluva lot worse....
your kid might have wanted to become a roadie!!!!

Thought about this some more today. I think the fact that your son asked about "going Goth" means something. Without knowing anything about you and your relationship to your son I would say that he loves and respects you quite a bit to get your take on being goth.
Reminds me when I asked my dad "What do you think about me getting an earring?" Please note this was circa 1987 when guys having earrings was not a regular thing. My dad's reply to which he denies to this day "Travis, if you get an earring don't bother visiting my grave." I love my Dad.
YMMV

"c. Force him to watch every Chuck Norris movie ever made, followed by a "Shaft" marathon with a "Dolemite" intermission?"
I am confused, is that supposed to be a punishment or a reward? :biggrin:
