[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 595564, member: 1550"] His mother is naturally going to side with him. You took on a lot when you married her. This is a 20 year old boy and you're not his father. He probably doesn't feel any need to listen to you and his mother is not surprisingly siding with him. Did you know the kids before you married her? Not defending the kid, but he's her kid. I don't think fussing over hair length and even piercings is a worthy fight. If he wants to look that way, why do you care? My daughter went through a stage like that and she got over it and we didn't nag her about it. I think n agging only makes them more determined not to listen to you. Have no idea why you and mom are still supporting him. You may want to go to Parent Emeritus, another forum we have, for grown kids. [/QUOTE]
