[QUOTE="slsh, post: 17570, member: 8"] Marg - he wants to convert to Catholicism, which is fine by me. Logistics and timing just aren't going to work right now - the kid had multiple group sessions every night. I think if he waits until next placement, it will be much more doable. I'm not a believer that music is a precipitator for behaviors in most people. That's really not my concern even with- thank you. (Sheesh, Marg, you got me thinking this morning, LOL). I think what it boils down to is thank you has no internal controls whatsoever and selfishly I simply do not want to have to deal with- this. I guess there's a bit of conformist in me - thank you's got enough challenges in front of him in terms of fitting into the world. This kind of music, and understand that he won't just listen to it, he will engulf himself in it, is not going to help his transition a bit. It will be yet another opportunity to set himself apart, to wear his differences on his sleeve, another excuse for him to not succeed ("people don't respect my choices, blah blah blah). Which again, I don't have a huge problem with- in most people but with thank you... well, moderation or appropriate time and place just are not in his vocabulary. And yes, I had a mom who abhorred my music but her solution was earphones. on the other hand, while I loved Alice Cooper (still do), I didn't adopt his fashion styles or allow his music to influence my every waking moment. I don't think thank you can separate it. Kris - you snuck in there. [img]:wink:[/img] I've got a couple of weeks before the big day. Would appreciate tamer alternatives.
