re: Opinion from other parents- Kid's Halloween costume

And by the way, if you're not a parent you can save your opinion because it doesn't matter. Until you have had the experience of laying awake at night worrying about your kids you don't have a right to an opinion.

Gay.

When my son was two I made him Chucky and I was his victim with a pentagram wound carved into my forehead.

Now he's being Mario and I'm Luigi.

Basically, let him be who he wants. He's gonna wear a hockey mask and some damn overalls with a machete, no big deal.

I still grabbed a fake bloody arm at a store yesterday and pretended my arm fell off. My kid was terrified, until I explained it was fake, then we laughed about it. Get over yourself.

Yeah, you are.

YOur kid wants to dress as jason, but HASN'T seen the movies? Cool, get him a pair of overalls and a cheap plastic hockey mask.

done.


Pussy.

I agree with every point you have made, except for one...

Let him be Jason, because if you do not, it will become something he wants more and more. Let him do it, downplay it, and move on. Next year, start directing his attention to something more appropriate.

I love slashers

First of all, when you post real life questions on the OT, expect bs answers, and just ignore them if you're not in that particular bs mood or mode.

Most folks here come to be entertained, not are not pastors or counselors.

I'm a parent and can relate with tough decisions.

I don't even have the energy to try to determine what's right in your particular situation. It doesn't seem way out of the box to me. Has he mentioned any real world props like a carrying a real life/dead animal or such?

But if it's out of line for YOU, tell him you'd prefer he pick something else. (That's all I'd have to tell my daughter, anyway.)

If there's a lesson to be learned, now's a good time to teach it to him.

Parenting isn't easy is it?

I was Jason 2 or 3 times growing up because I had the gear and it was easy. Halloween is supposed to be fun. You're a pussy who is ruining it.

Of which you asked for assistance in deciding appropriateness of your child rearing choices because you think society is a poor barometer? The fricking irony here..

Yes you are. Only betas have to try to convince others that they're not. You should ask your wife what her boyfriend looks like if you want to see an alpha.

You're overreacting
