re: Do you judge people for having weird kids?

Dyed hair and piercings isn’t very weird. I’m in my low 30’s, and I am one of the few people I know without a tattoo or piercings. I don’t know any woman under 25 who doesn’t have tattoos.

Not at all my man. I could care less what the miserable folks here on tRant think.

I do think it's a shame to immediately label a kid "bad" because of how they dress, as was noted several times in this thread.

My kid is a straight A student with a scholly to a prestigious art school. Her mom and I are very proud of her accomplishments.

Looks like we have some overly controlling fricks on this board. Sorry if you identify as one of them bro.

For me, I sleep well knowing I have raised my kids well and they are growing into fine adults. I can tell just based on their decision making. They've earned the right to be their own person.

Y'all need to lighten up. I'm starting to feel bad for your kids.

Too many people care about the appearance and virtue signaling, the trappings of being a good and successful person because actually evaluating whether one has a strong moral compass, good values, work ethic, kindness rather than passive niceness, makes good decisions, etc is difficult and time consuming. At the same time, the reality is that other people will judge based on appearances which carry their own consequences. Those consequences greatly differ based on the observer. I think it’s important to be aware and considerate of how others may perceive you based on your attire, but at the same time, recognize the right to be your own person and that while appearances may influence first impressions, they do not define your personality. First impressions are important, but they are not everything. What is much more important is being a good person.

I judge people for everything. So yes

Who cares, if she’s a good person then none of this matters

If your kid doesn't turn out like you want, frick'em, kick that a-hole out on their own and make another one.
