[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 646546, member: 1550"] Not really. I have been known to go through my daughter's purse and toss out her cigarettes before she quit. I am death on smoking (no pun intended) that she was underage in my house. I also searched her room for drugs without feeling guilty. And I called the cops on her twice when I caught her with drugs. And when she started wearing all goth clothes and black lipstick, I tossed the clothing out. Again, though, she was a minor. But when it comes to their personal way of expressing themselves and becoming independent of us, I really don't seem the harm in letting them go their own way. The goth to me was different and could have drawn even worse teens to her than she already knew. I felt it was a safety issue, although who knows? She could have changed clothes in some restroom on the way to school. And at 18 if she wanted to dress goth, paid for the clothes, and didn't live with me...well, she's on her own, right? Luckily, she gave up the goth fast. I digress: I don't think piercings or tattooes are fatal. Now a skull tattoo...well, I would never have paid for that, but how could I have stopped her if that's what she wanted to do at 18 and she worked for it? All of my kids worked. Not my type of battle. I wore some pretty goofy stuff as a teen. Funnily, much of it is coming back into style????!!!! LOLOL! [/QUOTE]
