[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 745469, member: 22819"] I just can't keep my mouth shut about things like always wearing a hoody. It will drive me crazy. I have to say something, as many times as it takes. I am being reasonable and logical. I am saying that your hair is going to fall out even more if you keep wearing a hoody all the time. Or you're going to get sick if you eat that. Or you're going to be cold if you wear that. Or you're going to fry your brain if you consume that.... We are mothers after all. Isn't it our job, to some extent, to remind our kids to have healthy habits? I get that most people are smart enough to pick their battles and not sweat the small stuff so much. But I would be looking at that hoody thinking about his poor hair follicles, the fact that it's dark and sweaty in there, no air, poor scalp... I can't watch my son be unhealthy, to a fault. I'm a fitness and nutrition nut, I just can't see my own child doing these things to his body/mind/image. That said, I have tattoos, my nose pierced, and walk around barefoot most of the time - I'm relaxed and open minded about many things. What if you allow J to smoke his weed, BUT he has to do all other mental and physical health things that you ask of him? Maybe if you could get that far, the weed-smoking could be cleaned up afterwards. Of the things you ask of him, I'm pretty sure that it's the NO WEED that is the only real obstacle for him. [/QUOTE]
