[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 646596, member: 18412"] The point behind getting rid of easy child's car for getting another tattoo was that 1. she was underage and I didn't approve, 2. she was in a pretty defiant stage and I was standing my ground. She now has many tattoos. Some can be covered up and others she would have to where a turtleneck and long pants all year long! She has a sleeve on one arm and her one of her thighs is covered. She also has them on her other leg, chest, back, etc. I've gotten over it but the initial shock of it all sent me into a bit of a tailspin. We hadn't lived through the difficult child thing at that point. I though things were going south at that point but I had no idea what was to come! LOL difficult child is covered in tattoos. Most of which, again, would only be covered with a turtleneck and long pants. But she would also need a hat and no flip flops LOL. Since she's been gone, she's shaved 1/2 her head, added some more piercings and possibly more tattoos. Whatever. The only thing that bothers me about difficult child spending money on it is that she's still crying broke and not supporting her son. She's never been one to hang on to any money. It doesn't even make it into her pocket. In her hand, then out. That fast. easy child 2 and difficult child have both done some pretty funky stuff with their hair. I don't really care about that as it's not permanent. The tattoos are and my concern was always about their future regrets. Decisions you make when you're 17 are not the same decisions you make when you're 25, or 40. I just tell them to picture what they'll look like when they're 80 and saggy LOL!! As far as boot camp, easy child 1 joined the Army Reserve out of high school. A year later easy child 2 (the one that lost the car) joined as well. She graduated HS on June 4th and left for boot on June 26th. She is a very intelligent girl but school was of no interest to her. The Army was the best thing that ever happened to her. She grew up a LOT and she loves it. She deployed to Afghanistan July 2013, when GD was only 9 mos old. She returned Feb 2014, when GD was 16 mos. We had GD full time during deployment. We got a few months reprieve and then difficult child went to detox and rehab in Sept 2014 so we now have guardianship of 3 yr old GS. It's looking more and more like we are in it for the duration with GS. I'm tired... [/QUOTE]
