To have a (genuine) list of things which DD and DS are not allowed to do when they grow up? and if not, what are yours

[LittleOneMum]

So when DS was born,

Join the BNP or any other fascist organisation
murder
they are grown up now and show no inclination to do either as far as I know
When they were young I said I'd rather they smoked cannabis than tobacco-they did both of course and now do neither.
They are adults and I am proud of them :)

OverMy We had a family friend who was an experienced climber and had a serious accident

DD had her first go on the back of a motorbike a few months ago (she is 17) She had been pestering for ever with us saying no, then my bro arranged it wih a good friend of his who has a massive tour bike and who has been touring the world on his bike for years. As my brother very sensibly put it "It's like sex. She's going to do it at some point anyway. she can either do it in a controlled environment with all the correct protective gear and someone who knows what he's doing, or she can do it in a moment of madness with some over-excited youth with no control". he was right. she survived and hasn't mentioned bikes since.
The things my DCs mustn't do when grown up is
Stay in this village and never see new places
Get pregnant (relates to above)
Get married and sign over their freedom
Get into debt

I would not buy electronic toys that had an American accent.

I have told my boys, and will probably tell my daughter too, that whilst they are living under my roof:

• they are not allowed ride on/own a motorbike or scooter
• they are not allowed to smoke or take drugs of any kind
• they are not allowed to get a tatoo
• they are not allowed to have anything pierced other than their ear lobes - one in each ear
• they are not allowed to join any armed forces - especially the army who I see as fodder.

Controlling much?

I have an odd one, which have been set down from birth -

I have never allowed my DSs to wear white trainers.. to the point when the Clarks shoe shop assistant used to do the 'I'll see what we have in that size' thing, i'd insist 'Nothing White, we don't do white'..

DS1 has piercings (eyebrow and lip) smokes rollups and dope, but he's never worn white trainers!

Support Newcastle United or Rangers
Join the Armed Forces

Dementedma, are they not allowed to get married/pg ever or is there a time limit on that one?

What if they were a translator or something for the army? Do you dislike it on principle or just because you'd worry?

Vote Tory.

Sell sex.

Oh dear

my kids are actively encouraged to ride motorbikes and I would be so happy if ds1 fulfilled his dream of being a fighter jet pilot.

However they are NEVER allowed to say "pardon"...

No Shellsuits /no nylon clothing (fire risk esp with all the sparks it produces)

no babies outside of commited realtionship

no becoming a firefighter (see this as much more dangerous than being in military)

no twatty friends (I will forever be the lord and master of playdates - till he is 40 at least)

no listening to shouty music in my house (think it is known as thrash metal?)

they must not under any circumstances become an aston villa fan

dilysprice until at least 30!!
That's for the pg. they don't ever need to get married.

"DS1 has piercings (eyebrow and lip) smokes rollups and dope, but he's never worn white trainers! "

Seriously, jellykat?
Give me the white trainers over the drug habits any day.

No credit cards - created by Satan to torture stupid naive folk.
Motorbikes are fine - wearing shorts and t-shirt while riding said motorbike, not ok
Bumming around sponging of their parents while at college/uni because working at KFC is sooooo below them (the colonel needs you kids)
Naming our grandchildren after cars/soap characters/'celebrities
Tatoos are ok as long as they don't feature daggers, hearts or the words mum, dad, love and hate (my uncle's tatoos are his one great regret)

and thats it for now ......

hahahahaha ban anything and guaranteed its the one thing your kid will do its like gravity.

No badly dressed girlfriends

no armed forces - they treat you like crap and the rates of divorce and mental health issues are significantly higher than in most other professions.

no tories - never, ever.

no to porn industry or any other sexist/misogynistic bollox

No motorbikes here too.

You can only decide thing for yourself-telling them they can't do it is a sure way to make it desirable.

Vote Tory,

Join armed forces - for all the reasons BornSicky mentions.

Become actors. (Porn industry is fine in comparison)

smoking here is my ultimate no , I watched my dad die slowly of cancer and emhysema ds1 and ds2 saw it to so am hoping thats out them of

DD can never smoke she has a rare inhertied form of emphysema and lung damge smoking will kill her sooner rather than later if she tried it .

In that case Spooks, they shall not become disgustingly rish and build me a house made of gold with a swimming pool and folks to keep it all clean, feed me chocolate oranges and run my baths
